The Merchant of Venice 2013 EDP
Mandarin Carnival
The Merchant of Venice Mandarin Carnival is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Mandarin Carnival opens with Mandarin, Almond, and Tamarind, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Peach, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Rose, and Rain. The Merchant of Venice's Mandarin Carnival carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.
A bright, juicy mandarin scent that's a summer staple for many, but be warned: some find the musk turns a bit 'off' on their skin. It's a lively citrus with a floral twist that delivers on its name, though its performance can be a point of contention for its price.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Best Occasions
Given its fresh and light citrus profile, Mandarin Carnival is ideal for casual wear and can be refreshing during sport. Its weaker projection and longevity make it suitable for office environments where subtlety is preferred, though it might be too informal for truly formal events.
