The Merchant of Venice Sultan Leather is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015. Sultan Leather opens with Pepper, Nutmeg, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk and Leather. The Merchant of Venice's Sultan Leather carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

A serious, old-school leather bomb that’s definitely not for everyone. It's bold, uncompromising, and takes you on a full journey from pungent spices to a smooth, animalic drydown. Dive in if you dare, but don't expect a crowd-pleaser.

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

Sultan Leather opens with a potent, almost challenging blast of dry, resinous spices: fiery pepper, warm nutmeg, and exotic saffron. This assertive introduction quickly mellows, giving way to a heart of smooth cedar and creamy sandalwood, softened by subtle floral touches from geranium. The real star, however, is the base, where a rich, dark leather note, augmented by musky animalic undertones, takes centre stage, creating a deep and enveloping masculine scent.
