Rosa Moceniga by The Merchant of Venice is a captivating fragrance that was launched in 2016. 

The fragrance opens with top notes of rose, Sicilian bergamot, and cassis. This combination creates a delightful and mildly fruity introduction to the scent. The heart of the fragrance reveals a blend of rose, magnolia, and pink lotus. These notes add a floral depth to the scent, making it more complex and captivating. As the fragrance settles, it reveals base notes of rose, musk, vanilla absolute, crystal amber, and white cedar extract. These notes give the fragrance a rich, sweet, and slightly resinous character.

The name 'Rosa Moceniga' comes from an ancient Venetian family, the Mocenigos, who owned a historic residence in Alvisopoli. For over 200 years, this estate boasted an exquisite rose garden, with roses originally imported from China into France. The Mocenigo rose is a rare native Chinese bloom. Some years ago, writer Andrea di Robilant, a descendant of the powerful Mocenigos, noticed the rose at his family’s former garden in Alvisopoli, outside Venice, and was enraptured. His findings led to the publication of the 2014 book Chasing the Rose, and to the flower itself flourishing in his garden on Giudecca Island. Keen to capture its fruity scent in wearable form, he went to the Museum of Perfume for help. They enlisted renowned nose Philippe Romano, who skillfully blended the rose with precious essences including blackcurrant, rose absolute, magnolia, musk, and amber. A stunning Murano glass bottle was designed to contain the scent, which on its launch in 2017 became a coveted fragrance of discerning aficionados everywhere.
