Wow! Take a look at the photo below - some dolphins spotted by our very own MD David, in the Sandcove area of Dublin on June 6th. They seem to be following the yacht which is heading towards Dun Laoghaire. David contacted Padraig Whooley in the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group (www.iwdg.ie) to endeavour to identify the species and Padraig was confident to say that they were bottlenose dolphins who had also been sighted that evening a little further north near Blackrock by several observers.

This is quite exciting for us in Fragrances of Ireland, as we have always had an interest in promoting awareness of environmental issues and helping to solve them and as a result we had established a close relationship with the IWDG many years ago in conjunction with our Inis cologne. To this day we continue to be a core funder of the IWDG and in particular, a main sponsor for Whale Watching Day which takes place on a designated day in August each year in various coastal towns around the Irish coastline. However in the history of the relationship between Fragrances and IWDG we have never been fortunate enough to witness a sighting first hand........until now! Well worth waiting for!!
