Venetian Blue

Venetian Blue by The Merchant of Venice balances spice, green notes and citrus equally, with sweet, amber and leather sides in support. It was released in 2016 as a masculine scent.

Lemon and bergamot open it with a bright, sharp citrus burst, and apple adds a crisp, juicy sweetness. Black pepper and pepper bring a dry, crackling spice. The heart and base are classic in style: oakmoss and moss give an earthy, green, forest-floor depth, patchouli an earthy backbone, and birch a smoky, leathery edge. Ambergris and musk add a warm, salty, skin-like finish.

Fresh and refined, it suits spring and autumn, for daytime, the office and smart occasions. A man who appreciates classic chypre-style scents with a fresh, spicy citrus opening and a mossy, leathery base will find it a polished, gentlemanly choice. The name hints at the Venetian lagoon, and the scent has a cool, sea-blue mood to match its crisp structure.
