Byzantium Saffron by The Merchant of Venice centers on one of perfumery's most precious ingredients—saffron. Released in 2013, this oriental eau de parfum draws inspiration from Greek mythology's tale of Smilax and Crocus, translating ancient romance into a contemporary unisex fragrance. The Italian niche house crafted this scent to showcase saffron's complex, honeyed spice character supported by luxurious supporting notes.

The Merchant of Venice Heritage

Founded in 2013, The Merchant of Venice quickly established itself in the niche fragrance market by releasing 75 fragrances that celebrate Italian artistry and historical inspiration. Their perfumes often reference Venice's role as a historic trading crossroads where East met West, bringing exotic ingredients to European shores. This cultural blending philosophy appears throughout their collection, with Byzantium Saffron exemplifying the fusion of oriental richness with Western refinement.

Scent Architecture

Saffron Dominance

Saffron takes center stage, delivering its distinctive leathery, honeyed spice with metallic undertones. This precious spice provides warmth and exotic character that immediately distinguishes the fragrance. The saffron here reads as authentic and well-executed rather than synthetic or harsh, showcasing quality ingredient sourcing.

Supporting Notes

White suede adds soft, powdery texture with clean leather nuances that complement saffron's leathery facets. Crystal amber contributes resinous golden warmth and sweet depth that enhances longevity. Indonesian patchouli leaf provides earthy, slightly minty darkness that grounds the composition with natural richness. These supporting players create complexity while allowing saffron to remain the star.

Oriental Character

The oriental classification means this fragrance emphasizes warmth, spice, and resinous depth. Byzantium Saffron delivers these characteristics with refinement, creating exotic allure without overwhelming intensity. The composition suits cooler weather and evening wear when warming fragrances feel most appropriate.

Performance Expectations

Eau de parfum concentration ensures robust longevity, typically 8-10 hours on skin with excellent projection during the first several hours. Sillage commands attention without becoming intrusive, creating noticeable presence that suits the luxurious ingredient profile. The 3.4 oz bottle provides standard niche fragrance volume.

Application Strategy

Start with 2-3 sprays given the strong concentration and rich composition. Apply to pulse points and allow 15 minutes for full development. The saffron-amber-patchouli combination intensifies with body heat, so conservative initial application prevents overwhelming.

Ideal Scenarios

  • Evening occasions and special events
  • Fall and winter when spicy oriental scents excel
  • Both women and men appreciating exotic niche fragrances
  • Those seeking saffron-forward compositions
  • Collectors of Italian niche perfumery

Byzantium Saffron by The Merchant of Venice represents serious niche perfumery that prioritizes ingredient quality and artistic vision over mass appeal.

You will not regret buying this blanket!
Color: Aqua, Size: Queen/King Size - 80" X 90"
I was actually looking for a cotton blanket to add to my bed for fall and winter. Then I came across THIS one. It happens to be the exact shade of (“seaglass” or teal or aqua or whatever you choose to call it) blue green that I am currently redoing my bedroom in. It was a teense more than I’d planned to spend on this project. But I was in a splurgey mood so I went for it. I can honesty say that I’d happily pay twice as much. It’s much more beautiful and much more insanely soft than it looks in the pictures. While I don’t know how the blanket feels about me, I can assure you that I am madly in love with this gorgeous thing! I can’t wait for it to cool off in Southern California so I can roll myself up in it. Maybe I’ll crank the A/C down to 50 degrees and pretend there are more than two seasons (summer and late summer) in California. Anyway, this would make a great gift. It would make a great gift for yourself. Self care is important! Spoil yourself! You, at the very least, deserve a cozy cuddly blanket. I’m certain that this luxurious blanket will cure insomnia. Maybe even depression. I’ve owned it for like 2 hours and I have a whole new outlook on life! I feel pampered, spoiled, like queen of the world, maybe even like Cleopatra! I think that it should be obvious by now that I’m giving this furry looking blanket two thumbs way way up! Sometimes I order things from Amazon and by the time they arrive Ive already forgotten about them. I was anxiously awaiting my blanket friends arrival and I was prepared to be very meh. Not this time! Nope! Best purchase ever! I know what I’m getting everyone for Christmas! Buy several for future use. This blanket has made me deliriously happy! Update: After owning this blanket for, like, a while, I still love it. Shockingly it washes up beautifully! A word of advice. Fabric softener is a big no no. It gets the fur gummy and feeling like unwashed hair after a month. I imagine. I’ve personally never gone with unwashed hair for more than a day or two. It is at its fluffy and soft best when you use one of those new Downey rinses instead. That seems to remove all residue and it comes out feeling even better than brand new. A word of warning. Do not picnic on this blanket. The fur will encase and preserve your crumbs better than Tupperware. You may find a lost treasure that you don’t actually want in there. Best used for sleeping only.

So soft and pretty Looks great!
Color: Aqua, Size: Throw Size - 50" X 60", Color: Aqua, Size: Throw Size - 50" X 60"
This blanket is wonderful. I'm not sure if it will last or wash well but it's amazing right now. I was looking for something that had a sort of aqua color that would go with my new sheets that are aqua but still blend with my comforter which has more blue tones in it. This worked great as far as the color. I took some pictures and my dog is in them because as soon as I put it on the bed she jumped up and was like "oh thanks Mom ...I love this" That is how soft and luxurious this feels. Others said theirs was shedding. I took mine out of the bag and shook and no shedding. I did have trouble getting it out of the plastic and cut a few pieces with the scissors but once I got it started I just pulled to rip the plastic. I took one pic so you could see the back. I would say it's like a fuzzy microfiber and the color is identical. It's just te right thickness. I love the design. It's warm to lay under but also has a warm look. It was a good value at just under $30. I know some people said it did not wash well but I'll be super careful when I wash it and even though it says hang dry I might tumble on a very low or cool dryer so that it does not mat. If it's a disaster I'll come back to report but prob wont wash it for a few months. Oh and no weird smells out of the bag so that was a plus for me since I have chemical sensitivities.

Lovely Fluffy Faux Fur Blanket
Color: White, Size: Throw Size - 50" X 60"
Lovely, very soft & lightweight. It is a bit thin causing me to worry it might not be overly warm or durable, yet is just what I was searching for to do a photo project. Thanks!
