Salle Privée Monochrome is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Tanja Deurloo. Monochrome opens with Clove and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Vetiver and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Leather and Cedar. Salle Privée's Monochrome carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Monochrome is a refined, albeit divisive creation. Some find it a sophisticated and exclusive choice for special events, whereas others are left feeling short-changed by its fleeting performance and perceived lack of originality at this price point. A quiet charmer for some, an overpriced imposter for others.

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.

About

Monochrome takes you on a journey through a fresh, green landscape. It opens with an intriguing sharp, almost metallic green galbanum and a spicy hint of clove. This evolves into an aromatic heart of vetiver and rosemary, bringing an earthy cleanliness. The drydown settles into the dependable embrace of cedar and a supple leather, rounding out a serene and contemplative fragrance.
