The Merchant Of Venice Accordi Di Profumo Review – 2022

Perfume DIY style. The idea has cropped up in several different forms over the years, and the latest contribution to what remains a small field comes from The Merchant Of Venice. They’ve launched eight standalone accords – from bergamot to sandalwood – which they invite potential customers to layer in any way they see fit in order to create unique blends of their own. I reviewed their Accordi range on YouTube the other day. Here’s a link to the video: The Merchant Of Venice Accordi Di Profumo review.

I sometimes advise anyone who watches my Love At First Scent episodes to switch on the live chat, as my viewers often make valuable contributions to the discussion. However, in this case, I’d say reading the chat is a must: the range of views on the appeal, or otherwise, of layering is instructive and thought-provoking. My personal stance on the matter is that if we’re to indulge in this sort of thing then we’re better off doing it not with fully-composed perfumes, but with mono-dimensional fragrances such as the ones we’re being offered here by TMOV. Of course, the success of what we create comes down entirely to the merits of the individual accords in question. So in this case, anything comprised of the bergamot, tuberose, tonka bean or neroli is more likely to hit the spot than a mix containing the saffron or the sandalwood. £60 per bottle to have a bit of a play isn’t cheap, but let’s see how these releases fare. Perhaps there will be enough interested folks out there to make the venture viable.
