The Merchant of Venice Vinegia 21 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Vinegia 21 opens with Cinnamon, Saffron, and Praline, settles into a heart of Akigalawood, Oud, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Incense. The Merchant of Venice's Vinegia 21 carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive yet undeniably alluring scent that nails the sexy, sweet-and-spicy brief, but some find it a bit too 'mainstream niche' to truly stand out. It's an effective crowd-pleaser, but maybe not a groundbreaking 'art piece'.

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

Vinegia 21 opens with a rich, almost syrupy burst of praline and warm cinnamon, quickly balanced by the sophisticated, dry touch of saffron. This initial sweetness mellows as it transitions to a heart of smooth, polished oud and earthy patchouli, underpinned by the unique woody depth of Akigalawood. The journey culminates in a luxurious base of creamy vanilla, soft sandalwood, and ethereal incense, creating a warm, smoky, and sensual drydown that lingers beautifully.
