An absolute beauty
This is simply gorgeous. This is a sweet, caramel-y, resinous, slightly oudy scent, with a hint of saffron at the top. It's deep, yet not challenging at all. It's familiar, albeit does something differently to fragrances of a similar vein. Performance is pretty good, long lasting but not overpowering, and one that I can keep smelling and not get sick of. Perfectly unisex. Great for a night out or cold weather, might be a little too rich for any sort of heat. It is quite expensive, but it definitely smells like its price. An absolute must try if this type of fragrance is your bag.

I love it
Even if it's similar to Indomabile Morph, the quality of materials is more high (of course), and also the bottle is precious and amazing.
A very deep gourmand but never sickening.
Also Sillage is strong.
Can't be a mistake also in blind buy if you like those notes.
This's one of my jewel in fragrances collection.

Interesting Fragrance - like but not love
This is the second The Merchant of Venice fragrance which I have, the other is Arabesque. I must confess I blind bought this fragrance because it was on a huge sale on Maxaroma and because of the hype. While I find the fragrance interesting, I love Arabesque more. I am reading the reviews here, and I am surprised that I am an exception and do not get the Praline, toffee sweetness described, to my nose this is a woody spicy (saffron patchouli) scent. On my skin the performance is average 4 hours skin scent.

As I mentioned this is an interesting fragrance which I like and I will macerate it for a month and hopefully it will develop to a more deeper profile. I will come back with an update.

Truly unisex praline & oud combo.
A perfume rich in spices and oud that could hold its head up high alongside all the other awesome Arabic perfumes I've had the privilege of sampling. The praline is deep, not sweet at all and it mixes really well with the oud. The presence of the praline makes it truly unisex, a perfume that a woman as well as a man can pull off. The projection is not over the top, with two sprays you can still wear this to the office, but two days later, I can still feel this going strong on my clothes.

Un parfum bogat in mirodenii si oud care poate fi purtat cu mândrie de orice Arab, cot la cot cu tot ce am mirosit prin excursiile mele prin Orientul Mijlociu, proiectat in stânga si-n dreapta de your average Joe Arab. Pralina e adâncă, nu are o dulceață înăbușitoare a la BR540, un alt amestec de care mă lovesc la fiecare metru pătrat in aceasta regiune a lumii. Desi notele afișate aici ar sugera ceva feminin, mie mi-se pare undeva mai la mijloc, de-a dreptul unisex. Proiecția este destul de modestă: doua sprayuri generoase pe brat, si totuși mă încadrez in ceea ce aș considera bun simt. Longevitatea este ce il face deosebit: doua zile și încă il simt destul de bățos si asertiv pe haine, inshallah!

Better And Cheaper Haltane
This really is a price performance beast! Yes, It's not the most unique scent profile but it has been executed to perfection. It's an Oud&Praline focused scent from the start to the very end. I see comparisons to Side Effect or Bouquet Ideale but I really don't see it. For me, This is Haltane but more for a Date Night. Definetly recommend this fragrance!! beginner and pocket friendly.

I get compliments on this all the time. Rich, luxe, gourmand. Spice and oud. Caramel.

Too bad, praline and vanilla overpower the scent.
A bit more spice would have been enough.
Half as sweet would have sufficed.

Delicious without being gourmand, warm, soft & complex. Perfect balance between vanilla & spicy wood notes. Refined and exquisite!

Feeling good, cuddly, and a bit sexy. I was skeptical about Praline, but they must mean the magazine ;) Nice spice in the base.

The feminine oud from "Bewitching Yasmine" and Babycat's sweetness,
a typical sweet-spicy-oriental scent that feels so familiar to me...
