Do you know about Le Mude?\u00a0 The enticing new fragrances by The Merchant of Venice are all based on them…. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mainly made up of Venetian galleys, Le Mude were the convoys of ships that serviced the main maritime trade routes between the Mediterranean and Asia.  Today, these important trade routes \u2013 and the raw materials and traditions that were exchanged as  a result of their voyages \u2013 are the inspiration behind three new fragrances (two for women, and one for men) created by luxury fragrance house, The Merchant of Venice<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For women, Andalusian Soul<\/strong> is an audacious fragrance characterised by fresh acacia, sensual vanilla, and intense amber, further enriched by touches of cistus and rum.  The sublime mix of precious raw materials is made even more fascinating by balsamic accords and aromatic sage.

The perfume is dedicated to La Muda di Barbaria and to the raw materials traded through it.  This maritime route connected the Venetian Republic with Morocco and Southern Spain, trading mainly in herbs, sweet clover, rosemary, orange blossom, and Indian sandalwood.  The ambience expressed by this extremely feminine fragrance evokes the warmth and mystery of the sunny lands of its origin.  The elegant bottle, in shades of yellow and orange, is also reminiscent of the warm atmosphere of Morocco and Southern Spain.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mystic Incense<\/strong>, meanwhile, is a new and sophisticated interpretation of incense \u2013 an oily resin exuded by the Boswellia plants, typical of the Arabian Peninsula and Africa.\u00a0 Elegant and persuasive, it creates a perfect woody and gourmand accord.\u00a0 The base note confirms the vigorous personality of this fragrance through cocoa essence, while the incense is warmed by musky notes.\u00a0 The scent is both harmonious and seductive.

This original fragrance takes its inspiration from La Muda di Siria, a route that connected Venice to the Lebanese Coast and Cyprus, through which were traded mainly labdanum, liquid storax, Damask rose, balsam, saffron, plums and incense.\u00a0 This mystical composition is enclosed in a precious green and brown bottle featuring a design that interprets the historical traditions of Murano glassmaking.

    For men, The Merchant of Venice has launched a new concentr\u00e9e fragrance, Venetian Blue Intense<\/strong>.\u00a0 This latest creation is a sophisticated update of Venetian Blue, one of The Merchant of Venice\u2019s most popular perfumes.\u00a0 The marine and foug\u00e8re notes are enhanced by the intense concentration of fragrance, giving an explosion of freshness and a crisp, clean, blue scent.

    A musky and smoky base is diffused by patchouli and birch. Fresh spices meet the energy of citrus fruits, while lemon and bergamot are mixed with unexpected hints of juicy apple and pineapple.\u00a0 This intense composition captures the aspect of the man who loves to be daring and extraordinary, a cosmopolitan and curious adventurer whose fortune comes from travel and trade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The intense blue colour of the glass bottle\nevokes the elegance and majesty of the sea. \nThe primary source of Venice\u2019s riches, the sea enabled the city to\nestablish relations with the East in order to become the point of reference for\nthe distribution of spices and rare essences to Western cultures.  This flow of goods and shared knowledge\nsubsequently made Venice the most important maritime power between the 13th and\n16th centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Andalusian Soul, Mystic Incense and Venetian\nBlue Intense all express the charm of far-away countries, whose histories were\ninextricably connected with that of Venice. \nThey represent scents and essences of mysterious places, paying homage\nto raw materials rarely used in perfumery\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
