Fenicia
7.3The Merchant Of Venice · 2015
Fresh · Citrus · Floral
The Merchant Of Venice Fenicia is a feminine perfume built on cinnamon, nutmeg and clove in the heart, with a sweet, woody base of vanilla and sandalwood.
Both its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters recommend fall and spring, with winter and summer further behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and also gets votes for evenings and the office. Close to half of voters read it as feminine, while a quarter find it masculine.
It opens with elemi resin and Calabrian lemon, fresh and citrusy. In the heart, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove bring the spice forward while rose softens the floral side. The base of Bourbon vanilla, patchouli, tonka bean, sandalwood and myrrh leaves a sweet, resinous, slightly smoky warmth.
