La Fenice

The Merchant of Venice La Fenice is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. La Fenice opens with Mandarin and Hawthorn, settles into a heart of Heliotrope, Almond Blossom, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla. The Merchant of Venice's La Fenice carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

A divisive floral vanilla that splits opinion. Some find it a fluffy, elegant dream of powdery sweetness, others a generic, cloying mess reminiscent of older scents. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Its moderate sillage and soft, comforting character make it suitable for close-quarters like the office, provided it's not oversprayed. The romantic, elegant quality naturally lends itself to date nights, while also being popular for casual at-home wear due to its 'soft life' vibe. It's too sweet and plush for hot weather or physical activity.

About

La Fenice opens with a brief citrusy mandarin burst, quickly settling into a creamy, powdery vanilla heart. Tuberose and almond blossom lend a soft, almost milky floral sweetness, while heliotrope reinforces the plush, velvety texture. A hint of cedar peeks through in the elegant, long-lasting tonka and vanilla base, creating a warm, enveloping aura that's often described as ethereal and delicate.
