Damascus Desert by The Merchant of Venice is a 2020 fragrance for men that is woody, floral and citrus in equal measure, with spicy, green and ambery touches.

Lemon and bergamot open it with a bright, zesty freshness, and ginger adds a lively, warm spice. In the heart, orris root brings a soft, powdery elegance, and clary sage a herbal, slightly green note. The base is warm and dry: vetiver gives an earthy, smoky grassiness, and musk and amber a soft, glowing finish.

It suits men who like refined, slightly powdery woody fragrances with a fresh start. The citrus and herbs make it easy to wear in the daytime and at the office, while the amber and vetiver give it enough warmth for evenings and cooler months. It should appeal to anyone who enjoys iris and vetiver together and wants a polished, versatile scent with a gentle touch of spice.
