Does it smell like this in the streets of the Monegasques?
Monaco - Playground of the beautiful and wealthy, the jet set, party lions, show-offs, and numerous tax exiles is the namesake for this LR fragrance. The bar of expectation is set dizzyingly high. However, I have no idea what the designation Classics is all about. One could almost infer that the fragrances from this line have existed at LR before and had to be revived due to high demand.
So at least that’s the theory.
In practice, Monaco initially exudes a pastry-like sweetness reminiscent of candied fruits and heaps of marzipan. But the ingredients still seem quite raw here, and one can sense that it needs to develop further.
After a while, Monaco takes on a character that reminds one of a lovely nutty cake with almond slivers and cocoa powder. For a brief moment, it even forms a nice round gourmand-like overnote. But right after that, unfortunately, it collapses back into itself and consists only of a dull powdery sweet mass until it gradually crumbles away. It could have been something, but instead, it leaves a rather strange artificial aftertaste.
However, I wonder, what does this have to do with the fragrance pyramid?
And above all, what does this have to do with Monaco?
And where does the designation Classics come from?
And why doesn’t our planet have the shape of a carrot?
And …
Ultimately, only the chemistry lab and the marketing department of LR or a higher power can answer these questions.
