Rococò by The Merchant of Venice is a warm, comforting blend of dry cocoa powder, resinous olibanum incense, and sweet golden benzoin. It opens with a bright flick of bergamot that quickly gives way to a distinctive contrast between airy, smoky frankincense and rich dark chocolate. As it settles on the skin, soft almond-like heliotrope and spicy clove bud soften the bitter edge of the cacao, creating a velvety, buttery dry-down. It feels like wearing a heavy cashmere knit while sitting beside an aromatic fireplace with a cup of spiced dark drinking chocolate. Built for crisp autumn afternoons and freezing winter evenings, this unisex eau de parfum offers an inviting, rich aura that stays cozy without turning syrupy or cloying.

Exalt Nuit opens with a sharp burst of bitter cacao bean and citrusy bergamot, immediately cut through by warm nutmeg and olibanum resin. As the top notes quiet down, green anise and Madagascar pepper add a dry, herbal bite that prevents the rich gourmand notes from turning syrupy. The dry down reveals a heavy base of unburned tobacco leaf and Haitian vetiver. The vetiver brings a damp, rain-soaked earth texture that sits alongside dark cedar wood and warm benzoin resin. It smells dense, smoky, and slightly medicinal, built specifically for cold evening air rather than daytime office wear.
