Byzantium Saffron

The Merchant of Venice Byzantium Saffron is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Byzantium Saffron opens with Saffron, Lemon, Thyme, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Lilac, Lily, Cedar, and Rhubarb, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Amber. The Merchant of Venice's Byzantium Saffron carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This is a luxurious saffron-leather blend that's both elegant and a bit of a chameleon. Some find it a richly complex tapestry, while others are left underwhelmed by its fleeting nature, especially with newer batches. Try before you buy, as skin chemistry plays a massive role.

Its rich, warm spicy and leather profile, described as opulent and sensual, makes it perfect for formal events and dates. However, its often reported moderate sillage and sometimes disappointing longevity prevent it from being overpowering for office wear.

About

Byzantium Saffron unfolds with a pungent, almost medicinal saffron, sharpened by pepper and a whisper of lemon and thyme. This quickly softens into a supple suede heart, where subtle florals like lily and lilac weave through the dominant leather, underpinned by a warm, gently balsamic amber. Patchouli provides an earthy depth, rounding out this opulent scent.
