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.
