The tranquil pond reflects the landscape around it: the saturation of the sky, the shapes of the clouds, the green of the trees, the yellow of mimosa, the purple of lavender. A light breeze across the surface turns reflection into abstraction, rendering the pond a watercolor. This eau de cologne paints this scene with citrusy lime and bergamot, aromatic lavender, and the honeyed, powdery floral flair of mimosa. Underneath it all, comforting sandalwood quietly hums.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried afternoon with the windows open, when conversation can pause without becoming awkward. Lime and aromatic lavender lend clarity, while powdery mimosa softens the impression: a relaxed presence, gently sweet rather than brisk or austere.
How to wear
Its citrus-aromatic profile suits mild spring days and warm weather, with mimosa and sandalwood adding softness beneath the brighter notes. Begin with a light application to the wrists and upper chest for a restrained effect, then adjust after it settles; the eau de cologne format invites refreshing as needed.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to aromatic greenery but wanting something softer than a sharply herbal cologne. Watercolor balances lime's brightness and lavender's savory edge with honeyed, powdery mimosa, appealing to tastes that favor gentle sweetness over rich gourmand effects.

The nose
Seunghyun Lim is the perfumer behind Watercolor and Circle of Lim. Born in Seoul, she brings an art-world background to her work, drawing inspiration from the contrast between urban Seoul and the natural surroundings of Jeju. Watercolor translates that visual sensibility into scent, pairing distinct citrus and floral impressions with a softly shaded sandalwood backdrop.
Circle of Lim’s story
Circle of Lim approaches natural perfumery as a connection between human experience and the living world. Its philosophy emphasizes handmade, small-batch production, transparent ingredients and plant-derived materials, alongside restrained packaging and fragrance language that avoids gender binaries.
Watercolor’s concept
Watercolor takes its inspiration from a pond reflecting sky, clouds, trees and flowers. As wind disturbs the surface, recognizable shapes dissolve into patches of color. Lime, bergamot, lavender and mimosa interpret those shifting impressions, while sandalwood provides a quiet background; the concept is not tied to a particular painting or artist.
Extra info
The house discloses Watercolor's aromatic blend as 68.3% essential oils, 31.1% extracts and absolutes, and 0.6% natural isolates. These figures describe the fragrance blend, not its concentration in alcohol. The milk-foam impression in its description is an olfactory image, not a separately listed ingredient.
