What does Monarque smell like?

It opens with cinnamon, cardamom and bergamot, a spicy and slightly bright start softened by orange blossom. Vanilla and elemi resin carry the heart. In the base, praliné, caramelized almond and tonka bean add sweetness, while gaiac wood and musk give it a woody, powdery, creamy footing.

Its sillage is rated good, and most voters find it leaves a strong trail, though the number of votes is small. The sweet, oriental build suits cooler weather and evenings. It is classed as a men's fragrance. Parfums de Marly Althaïr and French Avenue Liquid Brun have a close profile.
