What does Monarch smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, though it also wears in summer and winter. It leans towards daily wear, the office and leisure time, and works for evenings too. More than half of voters read it as masculine, with a classic feel.

Pepper, juniper and lemon keep the opening crisp and bright. The heart brings cypress, jasmine and clove, where the green and spicy sides become clearer. In the base, moss, musk, woody and balsamic notes soften it onto a warm footing. Its profile is close to Truefitt & Hill Apsley and Victorinox Swiss Army Forest.
