Italian history is at the heart of the latest fragrances to join the family at The Merchant of Venice.
The brand, which prides itself on it’s rich heritage, with its fine fragrances housed inside intricately decorated Murano Glass bottles that make their own stunning statement, have this time reimagined “The Scent of the Renaissance” with two new fragrances, Renaissance and Rococò ’26.
Launching in July 2026, they are the creations of iconic perfumer Calice Becker and Dalia Izem and tell the story of the vitality, richness, and uniqueness of Venice during a period of vibrant splendour.
The meticulously designed duo of olfactory compositions, focus on floral and oriental notes that grant each creation a unique character, refined yet bold. These accords are elevated using extremely rare raw materials, housed in glass bottles featuring the iconic Venetian colours of blue and gold.
Renaissance Eau de Parfum Concentrée £288 (100ml) by Calice Becker, is defined by its intense, enveloping notes, starting with a top layer of galbanum, orange flower absolute and saffron. Its base is defined by incense, musk and vanilla, providing both warmth and smokiness, while the heart combines iris and patchouli with leather to complete the scent’s complexity.
Rococò 26 Eau de Parfum Concentrée £288 (100ml) an update reimagined by Dalia Izem is a celebration of opulence and reverie, something the era was known for. The aroma itself aims to capture a hint of the artistry of the period, opening with jovial notes of saffron and clove, which blossom into caramel, jasmine, vanilla and tonka bean.
Both fragrances are available from July 2026 at selected retailers including Harrods.
