Sandalwood The Merchant of Venice — one of those scents that needs no introduction. A unisex fragrance from the wood family. Sandalwood — a proud member of the Museum collection. Available as eau de toilette.
The sillage is delicate — an intimate cloud that stays close to the skin. In terms of longevity, it sits at moderate — long enough to make a real impression. Country of origin — Italy. Sandalwood The Merchant of Venice unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Sandalwood is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of The Merchant of Venice is evident in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Wood. From a family perspective the scent maps to Wood.
In a unified mixed pyramid the opening appears as one connected movement with a noble cedar mood: Sandalwood.
The deeper layers are felt as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which gives the structure continuity.
The accord profile rests on these accords: Wood forming a compact and readable structure. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read. In longevity terms Middle indicates a stable lasting impression. In diffusion Weak describes the way the scent radiates.
Taken together Sandalwood holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best judged in wear.
