Truly beautifully made
The Monarch is a really beautiful winter fragrance. Apparently, it seems to work much better or differently on my skin than other perfumers here in the community. It lasts for around 24 hours on my skin - that's really strong! The sillage is also more than successful so far.
In the top note, I honestly miss the fruit aromas listed in the fragrance pyramid. These are at best very hidden in the background. It immediately smells very spicy, balsamic, dark, oriental, peppery, resinous and slightly smoky with notes of labdanum, cinnamon, cardamom and black tea. I also detect a certain sweetness. The heart note takes a floral turn. Here I can smell rose water, lily of the valley, narcissus, freesia and a hint of jasmine blossom. The base also has a lot to offer. It has a woody scent of oud and cedar wood. Incense underlines the smokiness from the top note. It smells strongly of leather but also earthy of oakmoss and patchouli. Over time, it becomes sweeter again with scents of ambergris, tonka beans and bourbon vanilla.
Quite a lot going on, isn't it? But the Monarch also surprised me very much and can be called an insider tip. Thanks to Nick for the bottling.
