‘Rosa Moceniga Elixir Eau de Parfum Concentrée by The Merchant of Venice marks a luxurious return to the house’s signature fragrance, released ten years after the original Rosa Moceniga Eau de Parfum. This exquisite reinterpretation deepens the composition’s floral character, enriching it with more enveloping and opulent notes that elevate its timeless allure. The fragrance invites you on a sensory journey through history and nature, celebrating the rare and storied Moceniga rose. This historic flower, still blooming with wild elegance in the rose gardens of Villa Mocenigo in Alvisopoli, carries a legacy that dates back to the Napoleonic era. It was during this time that Giuseppina Bonaparte introduced Lucietta Mocenigo—wife of Count Alvise Mocenigo—to this precious Chinese rose, forging a botanical connection that continues to inspire. The olfactory experience begins with a vibrant burst of citrus. Blood orange and lemon intertwine with the sweetness of pear, creating a bright and effervescent opening. At its heart, the fragrance unveils a majestic bouquet of roses—Moceniga Rose, Turkish Rose, Communelle Rose, and classic rose—each layer adding depth and sophistication while evoking a sense of beauty and grace. As the scent settles, it reveals a warm and sensual base. Madagascar vanilla lends creamy richness, elegantly blended with soft musk and amber woods. The result is a comforting and captivating dry-down that lingers gently on the skin. Belonging to the Floral/Vanilla/Woody olfactory family, Rosa Moceniga Elixir is a refined tribute to heritage, nature, and the enduring power of a rare and beautiful rose.’ – The Merchant Of Venice
