What does Monarch / Essential Blend smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few voters have rated them, so treat those figures as tentative. Voters pick it most for leisure and daily wear, and a fair number also suggest it for business and evening.

Lavender opens it with a fresh, herbal edge. At the heart, ylang-ylang, rose and geranium form a floral core, softened by spicy, creamy and sweet touches. Patchouli settles underneath as a woody, earthy base. Its profile is close to Czech & Speake Rose and Spiritual Sky (FR) Patchouli Rose.
