About This Perfume
The Merchant of Venice Fenicia smells like Sunlit lemon incense, rose petals, warm spices. It opens with elemi resin and Calabrian lemon, moves into rose, nutmeg and clove and settles on myrrh, patchouli and saffron. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2015.
Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: spicy is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike floral fragrances.
Around $115.

- Casual
The Merchant of Venice draws its identity from the historic Venetian spice trade, Middle-Eastern oud and resin cross-pollinated with Italian composition sensibility. The catalogue leans unisex (22 of 34) across fresh (9), gourmand (9), woody (6), leather (3), floral (2) and warm-amber (2). Top accords are sweet, spicy, woody, floral and oriental. Prices run $72 to $420, averaging about $164, collector-tier throughout. Standout live picks: Rococò 26 (warm spiced caramel cocoa, like sweet incense; $319), Nuit Feline (smoky, leathery oud afterspice on pine; $240), Secret Rose (sweet rum, tart citrus, rose oil on wood; $138.59), Arabesque (spiced plum tobacco, creamy tonka and benzoin; $218.39), and Vinegia 21 (toasted cinnamon praliné, creamy vanilla, smoky oud; $183.39). Spice-trade oriental at its most literal.
