The Merchant of Venice Arabesque Sample UK: Authentic Decants

The Merchant of Venice Arabesque is a dazzling, exotic oriental spicy fragrance from the prestigious Italian niche house. Inspired by the ancient trade routes between Venice and the Far East, it is a richly layered composition that traverses warming spices, smoky tobacco, and resinous woods. With full bottles retailing at over £200, our authentic decants let you experience it properly before committing to a full bottle.

What Does The Merchant of Venice Arabesque Smell Like?

Arabesque opens with warming ginger, succulent plum, and smoky tobacco, a bold and immediately distinctive opening that feels exotic and deeply inviting. The heart brings aromatic cinnamon, soft tonka bean, and cedar, adding a rich, spiced warmth with a slightly sweet, woody depth that gives the fragrance its distinctive character. The base of resinous benzoin, sensual musk, earthy vetiver, and refined cedar provides a deep, sophisticated, and exceptionally long-lasting dry down. It is best suited to autumn and winter and evening occasions.
