Unisex Perfume The Merchant of Venice EDP Byzantium Saffron 50 ml

Saffron, Thyme, White Lily, Cedarwood, White Suede, Amber, Patchouli, Vanilla

Byzantium Saffron by The Merchant of Venice is a warm, aromatic perfume that was introduced in 2013. The fragrance is part of the Murano Collection, which is inspired by the essential oils and raw materials imported by Venetian merchants from the far Orient.

The fragrance opens with top notes of saffron and thyme, creating a spicy and fresh introduction. The heart of the fragrance reveals a blend of white lily, cedarwood, and white suede accord, adding a floral depth and a touch of softness. As the scent settles, it reveals base notes of amber, patchouli, and vanilla, giving the fragrance a rich, sweet, and slightly resinous character.

The name 'Byzantium Saffron' takes inspiration from the Muda della Tana e di Romania, a route that sailed alongside the Greek coasts, calling at the cities of Athens and then onto Constantinople and the Black Sea. Among the main raw materials traded in this area, particularly important to the Venetian market were musk, nutmeg, saffron, and benzoin resin extracted from the storax plant. The fragrance expresses its strength through a vibrant red flacon, giving the strong impression of the precious saffron contained in the fragrance.
