The Merchant of Venice Suave Petals is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Suave Petals opens with Nectarine, Bergamot, Apple, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Iris, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. The Merchant of Venice's Suave Petals carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Many find it exquisite - a unique, feminine masterpiece. However, a vocal minority are put off by a heavy, powdery patchouli and prominent florals that smell dated. Not for everyone, but undoubtedly high quality for those who vibe with its distinct personality.

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.

About

Suave Petals opens with a bright, juicy burst of nectarine and apple, quickly tempered by a sophisticated heart of orange blossom, rose, and powdery orris. The drydown settles into a smooth, warm embrace of sandalwood and amber, with an earthy hint of patchouli and vanilla, creating a rich, opulent floral bouquet.
