About

Monarch opens with a bright, zesty burst of mandarin and bergamot, given a subtle kick by pink pepper. As it settles, a clean, gentle floral heart of lily of the valley emerges, softened by the inclusion of pear tree wood and a warm amber glow. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of musky ambergris, providing a smooth, long-lasting finish that feels both modern and classy.
