The Merchant of Venice Maria Callas is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Olivier Pescheux and Yann Vasnier. Maria Callas opens with Lemon, Mandarin, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Green, Neroli, Rose, and Blackcurrant, and dries down to a base of Akigalawood, Georgywood, and Cedar. The Merchant of Venice's Maria Callas carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive diva. Half the crowd loves its dramatic, sophisticated aura; the other half finds it generic or overwhelmingly masculine. You'll either get timeless elegance or a fancy air freshener. Test before you commit, darling.

About

Maria Callas opens with a bright, zesty burst of mandarin and lemon, sharpened by a hint of peppery spice. The heart unfolds into a fresh greenness, mingling with delicate rose petals and a touch of sweet, jammy blackcurrant, all lifted by sparkling neroli. The drydown grounds it in a modern woody richness from akigalawood and cedar, leaving a sophisticated, slightly powdery trail that evokes classic glamour with an edgy twist.
