The Merchant of Venice Gold Regatta is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Véronique Nyberg. Gold Regatta opens with Red Algae and Fig, settles into a heart of Salt, Immortelle, and Woody Notes, and dries down to a base of Amber and Vanilla. The Merchant of Venice's Gold Regatta carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This marine-leaning vanilla beast performs like a champ, but its unique salty, dirty, and sweet profile makes it a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Definitely not a blind buy unless you're a fan of esoteric fig and seaweed perfumes.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its exceptional longevity and strong projection, often described as 'beast mode', make it less suitable for office environments or sports. However, the unique and sensual blend of salty marine, woody, and sweet notes is perfect for dates, standing out without being overpowering for casual outings or even certain formal events.

About

Gold Regatta opens with an intriguing blend of red algae and fig, creating a peculiar yet captivating marine-fruity start. As it develops, a prominent salty note emerges, mingling with the sweet, creamy warmth of vanilla and amber, underpinned by a robust woody backbone. There's a subtle herbaceous quality from immortelle, adding to its complex character. It’s a scent that evokes the sea, but not in a fresh, airy way; more like a salted, sun-drenched piece of driftwood washed ashore.
