Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

Waters + Wild is a brand born on Ireland’s green islands, where the Atlantic meets the cliffs and ancient forests keep their secrets.
Its philosophy is to speak the language of pure, natural scents, and Sweet Basil + Bergamot is a true embodiment of this approach.
Launched in 2017, this unisex fragrance belongs to the citrus family and comes in an Eau de Parfum concentration.
It is perfect for those seeking a vibrant, long-lasting yet natural accord.
The fragrance has a very strong sillage, making it noticeable and memorable.
At the same time, its creators used only natural ingredients, achieving a remarkable balance between expression and comfort.
Sweet Basil + Bergamot is a breath of fresh air inspired by the wild beauty of Ireland’s coastline.
The composition is built on contrast: the spicy greenery of basil and sweetish nuances of anise intertwine with tart Calabrian bergamot, creating a sparkling, invigorating opening.
At its heart, wild rose blooms—not cloying, but vibrant, as if freshly picked on a windswept hillside.
A base of resinous cedar adds warmth and depth, giving the fragrance dimension and complexity. It is an ideal companion for spring and summer days, when you want to feel at one with nature.
Thanks to its unisex character, Sweet Basil + Bergamot works equally well on both men’s and women’s skin.
It shines during the day, especially in warm weather, yet its good longevity also makes it suitable for evening wear.
If you love fragrances that do not shout but make their presence known softly and confidently, take a closer look at this release.
The brand also has other interesting compositions, but this one has become one of its most recognizable.
If you enjoyed Sweet Basil + Bergamot, be sure to try Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum, a classic with a similar citrus-spicy spirit.
Memo Corfu is also worth exploring for its Mediterranean character. And for lovers of rose and green notes, there is Les Parfums de Rosine Zephir de Rose.
Each of them echoes the Irish character of Sweet Basil + Bergamot in its own way.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory pyramid of Sweet Basil + Bergamot is built around a blend of notes. The composition features spicy anise, aromatic basil, sun-drenched Calabrian bergamot, refined cedar, and delicate rose.
These ingredients create a bright, vibrant, and harmonious accord that captures the spirit of Irish nature.
