Monarch

by Hany Hafez

Alexandria Fragrances Monarch is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Hany Hafez. Monarch opens with Pineapple, Rhubarb, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Iris, Jasmine, and Pimiento, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Vetiver, Oakmoss, and Cedar. Alexandria Fragrances's Monarch carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly regal scent that screams authority and luxury. It's potent, sophisticated, and a real head-turner, though its intensity might not be for everyone. If you want to smell like money and gravitas, this is your jam.

Given its strong projection and longevity, Monarch is less suitable for office environments where subtlety is key. It excels in formal settings and on dates, where its sophisticated and bold character can truly shine. Some found it versatile enough for daily wear, but its potency leans more towards special occasions.

About

Monarch opens with a bright, fruity burst of pineapple and bergamot, given an unusual tart edge by rhubarb. This invigorating start swiftly transitions into a sophisticated heart where powdery iris and warm pimiento intermingle, lending a masculine floral character. The true depth arrives in the base, a rich tapestry of woody cedar, earthy vetiver and oakmoss, wrapped in the balsamic sweetness of amber, vanilla, and styrax, all spiced with a touch of cinnamon. It's complex, evolving, and undeniably opulent from start to finish.
