ChypreWhat does The Monarch smell like?
The citrus freshness comes from bergamot, lemon and lime, while juniper, thyme and lavender add a green, spicy edge. Oakmoss, cedar and patchouli form a woody, earthy backbone, with amber and tonka bean softening the edges.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and business are the most named occasions. Most see it as masculine in character. Roja Parfums Oligarch and Avapari Blue Lime have a close profile.
