MAISON ASRAR Monarch is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Monarch opens with Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Peach, settles into a heart of Milk, Jasmine, and Coconut, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Heliotrope. MAISON ASRAR's Monarch carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper gourmand, a spicy peach cobbler without the crust. It’s got a bit of an animalic edge that some pick up on, so it might not be for everyone, but for those who get it, it's a cosy, intriguing wear.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its warm spicy and lactonic accords lean into autumn and winter daytime or evening settings, making it good for dates and casual wear. The unique animalic undertone might be too distracting for a formal office setting, but it's acceptable for a sophisticated formal event.

About

Monarch opens with a warm, inviting blend of spicy cardamom and cinnamon, lifted by the juicy sweetness of peach. As it settles, a creamy lactonic heart emerges, with delicate jasmine and tropical coconut adding a unique softness. The base unfurls into a musky, powdery finish, with heliotrope providing an almond-like nuance and patchouli grounding the composition with an earthy touch. It's a comforting yet exotic journey.
