Gyokuro really does smell like green tea, but with a refreshing hint of fruit and an exhilarating rush of pepper. The first spray is bold, with its more delicate notes warming as the scent settles.

A warm combination of black pepper and neroli top notes grace your senses at first. But the heart is the star of the show; Gyokuro green tea creates the dominant aromatic and green herbal tone. Gyokuro also smells lightly floral with a sweet fruity undertone, thanks to lotus, tuberose and peach. To add warmth to The Merchant Of Venice’s refreshing scent, the base of ambergris, sandalwood and vetiver creates a creamy, slightly earthy feel amongst the sweet green tea nuance that remains.
