The Vidal Family, involved in the arts of perfumery for more than a century, recognised the need for a cultural luxury brand that would express the uniqueness of Venice: The Merchant Of Venice. The Merchant of Venice is a brand that has its conceptual origins in the ancient Art of Perfumery originated in Venice and from its centuries old trade with the Orient.
The line is inspired by the “Mude,” the maritime trade routes that covered a very large area from Asia to Africa, and on to Europe as far as the Northern Seas. The “Mude” started from Venice and reached many different harbours, which in turn were the destination of other commercial routes. These ports were the exchange centres for raw materials and finished products. This system enabled the Republic of Venice to acquire the knowledge and raw materials that otherwise it could not directly attain from within its own mainland.
Through master craftsmen such as the Muschieri (perfumers) and the Saoneri (soap makers), new techniques of production were invented that made the Venetian perfumes and cosmetics highly sought after products in all the Royal Courts of Europe.

Olfactory Notes
Ingredients
The alcohol-based head notes are reminiscent of the beverages made in ancient times in Malaga, and much sought-after in all European courts.
The elegant bottle, in shades of yellow and orange, is reminiscent of the warm atmosphere of Morocco and Southern Spain.
Andalusian Soul is inspired by the Muda di Barbaria.
The Muda di Barbaria coasted from Venice to Tripoli, Gerba and Tunis. From here it headed to Malaga and then along the Spanish coast to Valencia and Tortosa. From this route, Venetian merchants imported valuable raw materials such as Rosemary, Savory, Cistus Labdanum and the typical liqueurs of the Andalusian tradition.

Top Notes: The initial impression is a fresh, alcoholic accord reminiscent of historic Malaga beverages, likely featuring subtle citrus nuances. Acacia provides a refined sweetness, intertwined with aromatic sage.
Heart Notes: The fragrance unfolds with a warm, sensual heart of vanilla, balanced by the resinous depth of cistus labdanum. A touch of rum adds a gourmand, slightly boozy facet.
Base Notes: The long-lasting dry down is anchored by the rich, ambered warmth of amber, further enhanced by balsamic accords, providing a lingering, sophisticated trail. The base likely also features subtle hints of rosemary and savory, reflecting the historical trade route influences.
