Fata Morgana or the emperor's new clothes?
Difficult, difficult. It already starts with the packaging: If you expect a noble wooden casket with silky inlay (as pictured above), you will be disappointed. The fragrance currently traded in this country comes in a neat cardboard slipcase. This is not particularly luxurious.
The fragrance also reminds me strongly of X by Clive Christian. "Inspired by..." is the positive interpretation of this fact. One could also say, it is a fairly high-priced clone.
In this respect, one could now also read at the template, if it should be about the description of the fragrance.
In any case, it is easy to see that Geza Schön has done the groundwork. Monarch has this floating transparent beauty and this Fata Morgana-like volatility, which distinguishes many of his works.
I find Monarch to be woody and fresh in a very distinguished and sublime way. That's the positive aspect. The sillage is on skin, textile and paper is, however, modest to unsatisfactory. I do not perceive any development in the course of the fragrance. Thus I have the impression of a molecular fragrance, even if the pyramid claims something else.
And apparently you can such composed fragrances also hardly "turn louder". Presumably, they otherwise lose their magic.
Monarch fascinates me despite these weaknesses nevertheless very much - probably just because he gives himself so unapproachable.
