The Merchant of Venice Rosa Moceniga is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Rosa Moceniga opens with Bergamot, Rose, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Magnolia and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Vanilla. The Merchant of Venice's Rosa Moceniga carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a clean, fresh, and surprisingly complex rose experience. Some find it a bit too old-fashioned or generic, but for many, it's an elegant, everyday rose that's hard to beat. Expect decent longevity but fairly intimate projection.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Rosa Moceniga opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of bergamot and a touch of tart redcurrant leaf, creating a fresh and juicy prelude to its star, the rose. The heart blossoms with a dewy, natural rose, softly accompanied by magnolia and lotus, lending an aquatic, clean nuance. As it settles, a clean musk emerges, blended with warm amber and a whisper of vanilla and cedar, offering a gentle, comforting dry down that remains fresh and elegant.
