The Merchant of Venice

The Merchant of Venice is a luxury niche perfume house, launched in 2013 by the Vidal family, whose fragrance legacy stretches back over a century. Rooted in Venice’s rich history as a perfumery and trade crossroads, the brand weaves the spirit of the "Mude"—the city’s ancient maritime routes spanning Europe, Asia, and Africa, into its identity. This blend of heritage and craft fuses Venetian tradition with modern artistry.Its lineup spans a wide array of fragrances, with standout scents like Arancia Brasile, alive with citrus zest, and Arabesque, a deep, spicy mix often compared to Tobacco Vanille. The offerings fall into signature collections: Murano Exclusive, where perfumes reside in hand-blown Murano glass; Nobil Homo, crafted for the polished masculine taste; and Accordi di Profumo, a range tied to sustainability through a partnership with Givaudan’s Sourcing4Good, which champions ethical sourcing and environmental care.User impressions split down the middle. Many laud the scents for their richness, endurance, and unique character, while others flag spotty performance or middling service, hinting at a brand still refining its stride. It earned the "CULTURA+IMPRESA 2014" award, a tribute to its knack for marrying culture with commerce.A defining trait is its lean into sustainability, spotlighted by Accordi di Profumo. Linked to Givaudan’s work with small farmers and eco-friendly methods, this line speaks to buyers who crave luxury with integrity, a standout note in the world of fine fragrance.
