The Merchant of Venice Liberty is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Liberty opens with Saffron and Thyme, settles into a heart of Suede, Cedar, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Amber and Patchouli. The Merchant of Venice's Liberty carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Liberty is a commanding leather fragrance that demands attention, yet some find its initial harshness and smoky elements a bit much. It's a statement scent, sophisticated and long-lasting, though not for the faint of heart or those who prefer subtler approaches.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its strong projection and enduring longevity make it less suitable for an office setting where it might overwhelm. However, these same qualities, combined with its sophisticated leather and warm spicy accords, make it an excellent choice for formal events and evening dates, where you want to make an impression.

About

Liberty opens with a bold, almost smoky saffron and herbaceous thyme, quickly transitioning to a dominant, refined white suede. This rich, luxurious leather accord is beautifully balanced by the soft, clean floral whisper of lily and the grounded warmth of cedar. The dry down settles into a deep, earthy patchouli embrace, underpinned by a resinous amber that provides a smooth, lingering warmth.
