By the editors · 2 min readMusk and amber — a pair so common in fragrance architecture they almost disappear into each other — form the entire listed composition here. What distinguishes Il Mercante di Sogni is entirely in the quality and balance of these two materials.
Musks can range from sharp and clean to soft and skin-like; amber from cold resin to warm sweetness. With nothing else in the pyramid to triangulate from, confidence in a precise characterization is limited. What can be said: this will read as warm, close-wearing, and intimate. A fragrance designed to be discovered at skin distance rather than announced from across a room. The name itself — dream merchant — suggests an intentional close-range seduction.
