rosewater

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fragrant liquid' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'so rare and wet splashed around' is the wordplay.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'splashed around' indicates an anagram.
'so'+'rare'='sorare'
'sorare' after 'wet' is 'wetsorare'.
'wetsorare' is an anagram of 'ROSEWATER'.
