Maison Alhambra Monocline 05 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Monocline 05 settles into a heart of Cashmeran. Maison Alhambra's Monocline 05 carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a bit of a pickle - literally. Maison Alhambra's Monocline 05 promised cashmeran cosiness but delivers a divisive gin and tonic vibe with a side of pickle juice. You'll either love its fresh, woody strangeness or wonder why you'd ever want to smell like this. It's cheap enough to experiment, though.

About

Monocline 05 takes the woody core of cashmeran and twists it into something altogether fresher. Expect a blast of gin and tonic, crisp and slightly citric, layered over green, coniferous woods. As it settles, a clean, musky powderiness emerges, occasionally veering into an odd savoury 'pickle' nuance that fascinates and repels in equal measure. It's a scent that keeps you guessing.
