What does Monarchy smell like?

It opens fresh with bergamot and lemon grass. The heart is floral, built on rose, lavender, geranium and clover, softened by cashmere and lily of the valley. The base of musk, sandalwood, vanilla and amber leaves a powdery, creamy sweetness, with woody and spicy touches.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Voters favour spring, fall and summer, and see it for leisure, daily wear and the office. Most read it as masculine, though a feminine side shows.
