Andalusian Soul

Name: Andalusian Soul Eau de Parfum
Brand: The Merchant of Venice

The Merchant of Venice Andalusian Soul is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Andalusian Soul opens with Acacia, Incense, and Rum, settles into a heart of Labdanum, Rosemary, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vanilla, and Civet. The Merchant of Venice's Andalusian Soul carries a Favourite verdict, a amber-led wear.

This is a divisive one. Many find it a comforting, boozy vanilla dream - a grown-up take on Warm Vanilla Sugar. But others are put off by a persistent 'Play-Doh' note or a bitter herbal edge. Performance seems to be a real mixed bag too.

About

Andalusian Soul opens with a boozy hit of rum, softened by a sweet, almost honeyed acacia. As it settles, a warm, resinous amber and creamy vanilla emerge, underpinned by a subtle, smoky incense and a hint of aromatic sage. The animalic civet note is either well-blended or completely absent, depending on who you ask, but a rich, warm sweetness definitely dominates throughout.
