Noble Potion

Discovered this in Merchant of Venice store in Venice - elegant, mature, discreet ,still very present, CONFIDENT; makes me feel complete; quite lasting -8-10 hrs; of all the components musk and cedar are staying ; so annoying it's not available in USA; at least, they just made it available on line . Simply fabulous !

Very good and inviting bergamot and musk accord. I like it.

I like this, don't love it. I found a corner that carries The Merchant of Venice products and I was so curious! They are produced by Mavive, which is a well known perfume makers close in Venice and often make low price perfumes for large distribution. The SA was a nice guy who was amused by my passion for perfumes so I could chat with him for a while. I tried many single EdT and then I wanted to try this Noble Potion as I was attracted by notes, especially orange blossom and sandalwood. This is intense and woody. Cedarwood is very noticeable. I like it for its oriental vibe. It's very longlasting on my skin. However... I was not totally hooked because the evolution of NP brought me back to nowadays reality: poor raw material due to scarse availability. Noble Potion was well made, but it falls into the modern woody category more or less like CK Euphoria in the drydown. It's intense but not amplified, it becomes sweetish and harsh woody like so many modern ones. Anyway it's interesting and a good scent. The bottle is better than the picture and looks original. Edit: it growns on me! The more I wear it the more I think it smells similar to Shiseido/SL Feminitè du Bois

I get the comparison to Feminite du Bois.... However on my skin this is ever so slightly more wearable! It’s a cedar violet bomb with a spicy oriental feel! I actually love this! It’s also in the same vein as TF Santal Blush eventually morphing into FdB but very much in it’s own way. And no no no no... It’s not powdery to my nose but more so a musky, woody, slightly floral sweet and spicy scent with fruity nuances. Sexy borderline animalistic without crossing into the BO realm although I do believe this has cumin in it! Bc a big punchy cumin tang in it plays well with the clove and cinnamon! A really gorgeous presentation with a beautiful bottle and the way it was done makes me a happy gal since I can actually wear this gem!

So, I got this as a gift from one of my close friends a long time ago. Little did I know this was a woody violet fragrance but ooh la la.... When I tried it, I was so occupied with the violets and the fruity feel of it. The dry down is a spicy one and I love it. Top notes are Nectarine, Bergamot, Violet and Apple Blossom; middle notes are Cinnamon, Cardamom, Ylang-Ylang, Cloves, Orange Blossom and Jasmine; base notes are Sandalwood, Cedar, Vanilla and Musk. The woodiness in this makes it noticeable and intense. The vibes I get from this are more oriental. The longevity is long-lasting and the silage is good too. Noble portion is mature, elegant and much more confident. Perfect for me :)

I got a sample of this wonderful woody violet fragrance in the flagship store in Venice. Besides violet and violet leaves , I feel something slightly fruity. Which I do not identify as orange . It's more like dried fruit. The dry down is more spicy, and personally I would say I can feel a ginger note, which is not listed here. Noble Potion reminds me of Bois de Violette by Serge Lutens . This is one of my favorites from The Merchant of Venice.

My son purchased this perfume in the Merchant of Venice store in Venice. Every note listed in the design of the perfume technically I would love: Violet, Sicilian Bergamot, Orange Flower, Sandalwood, Cedarwood, and Musk Absolute. However, I am not fond of powdery perfumes and Noble Potion has one of the strongest and lasting "powdery" accords I have tried. The powdery accord overpowers some of my favorite notes. I really wanted to like this perfume. If you like a powdery fragrance, it does last a long time and you may love this one.

This smells soooo woody I can't get past that note, I think it's the cedar & cardamon, definitely for autumn and winter in colder months.

quente, sexy, de odor magistral; o frasco é lindo!!
