Description
The warm and embracing scents of the Middle East are masterfully expressed in this fragrance through a warm and woody accord. The head note
opens with a combination of red thyme and violet leaves that add a delicate freshness to the overall creation. The golden spice of saffron ignites the heart note and, combined with freesia and the warmth of cedarwood, bursts forth into the vibrant and intense amber, musky, and woody accords of incense, white musk, and leather. This is both an unique and embracing fragrance.
Craquele by The Merchant of Venice is a Leather fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Craquele was launched in 2015. Top notes are red thyme, violet leaf and cypress; middle notes are cedar, freesia and saffron; base notes are incense, white musk and leather.

I’ve wanted to test something from the Merchant of Venice house ever since spotting their gorgeous bottles on Fragrantica, so I was stoked when I got a sample of Craquelé as an extra somewhere. And I have to say I wasn’t disappointed; the first few times I tried it I thought it was nothing special, but it’s a real grower – like any really good perfume, I like it more every time I wear it.
It’s more feminine than masculine, which is a little surprising since leather and woods are the most dominant notes. But both of those are really soft and smooth in this one, and the saffron note lends it a subtle sweetness that goes wonderfully well with the rest of the composition. It’s obviously a high quality creation, elegant but comfortable. This isn’t exactly my usual thing, but I’m definitely enjoying it very much – the proof is that I’ve found myself sniffing my wrists with pleasure quite a lot these last couple of days.
So I like Craquelé very much, and if it was any cheaper, it would be on my wish list in a heartbeat. But at this price I have to be head over heels in love with a fragrance to even consider it, which isn’t the case, so I’ll just add this one to the “glad I got to test it” pile.

incense in this one feels smoky like in smoked cheese.

A very appealing, easy to wear unisex woody, Saffron and leather beauty. These three notes seem to dominate and the fragrance is quite linear on me. I like how the cypress and incense provide an accent to these three notes otherwise it would have been rather flat. I suspect the peppery freesia has a similar function.
Very well blended and smells good quality. I think some fellas might find this a bit too soft and think it’s too feminine. Well, that was my fellas and brothers comment. They both liked it though. I would certainly wear it and the bottle is gorgeous.
