What does Monopteros smell like?

Cardamom, coconut, cucumber, neroli and rose form the core of the scent. Raspberry adds a fruity note, coffee and nutmeg bring a gourmand sweetness, and black pepper lends a spicy edge. Aldehydes give it a bright, synthetic sheen. The overall impression is clean and green, with the sweet and spicy sides kept in the background.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. Votes for feminine and masculine are close, so it reads as truly unisex. Joop! All About Eve (Eau de Parfum) and Cartier Déclaration d'Un Soir have a close profile.
