The Merchant of Venice Dalmatian Sage Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray

The Merchant of Venice Dalmatian Sage Eau de Parfum 100ml is a refined Italian niche fragrance for men, inspired by the aromatic herbs and citrus groves of the Dalmatian coast. Crisp lemon and grapefruit open the composition; clary sage and black pepper bring a grown-up aromatic heart; and a robust base of vetiver and cedar gives the fragrance lasting presence — an elegant, sophisticated Mediterranean signature.

About The Merchant of Venice

The story behind Dalmatian Sage

The Dalmatian coastline — across modern-day Croatia — has long been famous for its wild herbs and aromatic plants, particularly its prized clary sage. Dalmatian Sage captures this Mediterranean breeze in a single composition: the sparkling citrus opening of lemon and grapefruit evokes a sun-drenched coast, the clary sage and black pepper heart gives the fragrance its herbal-spicy character, and the vetiver-cedar drydown provides quiet, grown-up presence.

Who it's for

Dalmatian Sage suits men who appreciate refined, classical herbal-aromatic compositions with a slightly niche feel — fans of fragrances like Guerlain Vetiver, Hermès Eau de Pamplemousse Rose, or Tom Ford Grey Vetiver. It performs particularly well in spring and summer, ideal for daytime, office and warm-weather travel. Equally well-suited to discreet evening wear and to mature men who like fragrances that don't shout.

How to wear it

1. Apply to clean, moisturised skin so the vetiver-cedar base has a stable surface to bloom from.
2. Mist onto pulse points: wrists, neck and behind the ears.
3. For a softer halo, spray once into the air and walk through it.
4. Avoid rubbing the wrists together; it bruises the delicate clary sage-lemon top.
