It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is an evening scent. A good pick for date nights and nights out. Released in 2013.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.

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.
