The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by Zara, Waimea is an aromatic aquatic fragrance that captures the essence of a coastal escape. The top note of bergamot introduces a bright and fresh citrus character, which seamlessly transitions into the heart's sea notes, evoking the salty mist of ocean waves. Vetiver forms the base, grounding the composition with its earthy and woody undertones, creating a sense of balance between freshness and warmth.
Apply Waimea to pulse points for a lasting impression. The sea notes dissipate within an hour, but the vetiver base continues to develop, making it perfect for daytime wear.
