The Merchant of Venice Esperidi Water is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Esperidi Water opens with Lemon, Orange, Pepper, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Cedar, Vetiver, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Oakmoss. The Merchant of Venice's Esperidi Water carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This is a truly divisive scent. Some love its classic yet modern Italian vibe, touting it as a sophisticated, uplifting masterpiece. Others find it unoriginal, synthetic, and lacking that certain something to justify the price tag. Not one for the fence-sitters.

About

Opening with a juicy burst of lemon and orange, sharply spiced with black pepper and herbaceous rosemary, Esperidi Water immediately evokes a sun-drenched Italian garden. The heart softens into a sophisticated blend of dry cedar, earthy vetiver, and a whisper of white jasmine. It settles into an elegant, warm base of ambery musk and a distinctive oakmoss, rounding out its vibrant start with a creamy, lasting depth.
