Shakespeare Elegiac — an oriental gourmand composition
Shakespeare Elegiac by House of Medici is a unisex fragrance released in 2024 by the Indonesian brand.
The fragrance is presented as an eau de parfum and immediately draws attention with its expressive combination of spicy saffron, a creamy accord and multifaceted vanilla.
Its character is that of a rich oriental gourmand composition with balsamic, floral and spicy nuances.
Shakespeare Elegiac smells warm, deep and distinctive, making it especially appealing to those who enjoy dense, slightly sweet fragrances with a striking presence and a rich development.
The fragrance’s character and mood
The name Shakespeare Elegiac seems to set a theatrical mood: this fragrance does not seek to go unnoticed, unfolding in broad, contrasting strokes.
It combines the softness of a creamy accord, the precious, slightly dry spiciness of saffron and a dark balsamic depth that gradually makes the scent more serious and enveloping.
This is a unisex fragrance with no strict ties to either a masculine or feminine wardrobe.
On one person’s skin, it may smell creamy, vanilla-like and comforting; on another, spicy, resinous and almost oriental. For this reason, it is best to test the composition on your own skin before purchasing a full-sized bottle.
Longevity and sillage
The database lists Shakespeare Elegiac as having very strong sillage.
This profile suggests a prominent presence and a good ability to linger in the air after application, so the fragrance is best suited to settings where its intensity will not disturb those around you.
The perfume unfolds particularly well in cool weather, in the evening, at gatherings and formal events.
On a hot day, its oriental gourmand character may feel denser, while indoors it is worth taking its intensity into account and applying it sparingly.
Shakespeare Elegiac within the House of Medici style
House of Medici is a fragrance brand from Indonesia, and Shakespeare Elegiac showcases its interest in expressive aromatic combinations.
There is no pursuit of minimalism here: spicy, sweet and balsamic nuances come together in a striking profile that is easy to imagine as part of an evening fragrance wardrobe.
There is no information about the perfumer, the collection to which it belongs or other concentrations of this release.
The brand also provides no specific recommendations regarding the number of sprays for skin or clothing, so it is best to build up the application gradually, guided by your own perception and the nature of the occasion.
Who will enjoy Shakespeare Elegiac
This fragrance is worth considering for fans of vanilla, resinous and spicy compositions with a strong presence.
It will suit those looking for more than just a sweet perfume: a layered scent where gourmand softness meets oriental depth and a touch of drama.
As a direction for further exploration, consider The House of Oud Just Before.
In terms of mood and intensity, it is also worth comparing it with Reminiscence Vanille and The Spirit of Dubai Majalis — this will help you better understand which side of the oriental gourmand style is closest to you.
