The Merchant of Venice Eternal Sunrise is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Gaël Montero. Eternal Sunrise opens with Saffron, Incense, and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Akigalawood, Papyrus, Ambrofix, and Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean, Labdanum, and Styrax. The Merchant of Venice's Eternal Sunrise carries a Favourite verdict, a amber-led wear.

A divisive amber woody blend that some adore for its warm, spicy charm, others dismiss as a YSL Babycat dupe with questionable longevity for the price. Love the smell, hate the performance seems to be the gist for many.

With its warm, amber-woody profile, this scent is best suited for cooler weather and evening wear, such as dates or formal events where its richness can shine. While good performance would make it too much for the office, mixed reviews on its longevity suggest it could be worn during the day if applied lightly.

About

Eternal Sunrise opens with an exotic hit of saffron and spiritual frankincense, immediately establishing a rich, warm tone. The heart then delves into a smooth, modern woody core with Akigalawood and papyrus, deepened by the amber-like Ambrofix. It settles into a luxurious, balsamic base of tonka bean and labdanum, creating a sweetly resinous and utterly magnetic drydown, although some find it a bit too familiar.
