Monarque

@Parhamvali I own Liquid Brun and have the original PDM decant and also have Art of Nature 2 and The Lion Club decant, I think liquid brun is more masculine and harsher than all of them, but also it's more linear that you must not over spray or it get cloying, but it project and last the longest ( yes even more than the OG). the art of nature 2 is closer to the original PDM Althair DNA but the mix is not as good as the OG but have more depth than LB, but it is not long lasting like liquid brun. I just got the lion club decant and I think it have better mix and more depth than Art of nature 2, it also last very long and projects like liquid brun, it's not on soft side like the art of nature version, it's more balanced version of that, the mix is also better but still not as great quality as the OG. If you ask me this is a better dupe that Art of nature 2 and have better mix and depth quality than Liquid Brun so I think it worth buying if you are into sweet unisex DNA.

Having bought this fragrance two days ago , i will only do a short review until i mature it leave it to rest it just came from airport to magasin, from magasin to delivery center then to my home. Anyways this as already people noticed from notes this is Pdm althair but for me a tiny bit more gourmand then the original, vanilla is dominant here spices werent really there , but you could feel it their addition just not prominent Quality is really Amazing armaf improuved them selfs much by this new releases , performance is amazing , for longevity it sticked on ly skin for 12 hours and projection average but for a good amont of time it was pumping Il all cases a really great fragrance and if you like althair or just wanna preserve the of juice you wont be dissapointed.

I’ve smelled the OG Al thair, Liquid brun, vanilla dunes and honestly this one’s a stunner. Just got mine today and on initial spray it find it’s heavy on the citrus and has almost a leather vibe that lasts 5-10mins. Then goes to the heart which is pure ambroxan, cinnamon and praline. The dry down is a sweet vanillic, candied almonds / praline, tonka masterpiece with some smoky oud lingering. You get the orange blossom throughout the experience. This is 10/10 Quality: refined and superior Longevity: 6-8 hrs Sillage: good 8/10 On my skin, I find it leans more *FEMININE* than Al thair so ladies if you wanted an alternative; this and vanilla dunes would be it! ***Will update in a few weeks of macération.

I sprayed at 10 pm. After a shower, I still could smell it IN THE AIR at 9 am tomorrow, outperformed the other I sprayed in the morning. Beast mode - kind of Khamrah's beast mode. The opening is full of cinnamon which I quite not enjoy. But in the drydown, vanilla is well done - more refined version of Mercedes Club Black. It screams yummy, sexy, addicted. I can say it worth more than the price. Perfect for cooler days and intimate occasions. Safe blind buy if you're into this kind of scent. Maybe I will try Liquid Brun to choose which one to buy a full bottle.

I own this, together with both versions of Liquid Brun (LB). Monarque, together with the Limited Edition LB, would be what most would consider to be "more versatile, friendlier compositions". The original Liquid Brun is dustier, spicier, and in my humble view, of a more distinguished character. All 3 are beautiful fragrances in their own right, as is PdM Althair. Monarque in particular settles into a gorgeous candied-almond dry-down. I enjoy this genre, so I'm happy with all 3 in my collection.

Just an unbelievable value. A gorgeous scent, so similar to Althaïr but a little sweeter and with 3x the performance. A single spray of this is *strong*. My Althaïr becomes tough to detect at about 4 hours, Monarque easily goes 12. The bottle belt is a disaster, and the chrome will show every fingerprint, but I still cannot recommend this cologne highly enough.

Sweet, Warm, Spicy. Cinnamon and Vanilla with Tonka, definitely get the praline on the dry down and you can tell it has cardamom in it, makes my nose scrunch up on every spray, luckily it quickly tones down. I'm not really a fan of Althair DNA in general but I feel like this is a pretty nice recreation of it. 7/10

The scent is 11/10 But the sprayer and bottle are sh1t! Dont get fooled by pictures. In real the bottle feels cheap and is for no reason big. This is a known armaf problem...but of all of the clones this one is the best. Has the same exact notes, this stuff is toooo goood, no wonder its hard to find

Just got this for Christmas and was excited to discover that when this dries down it smells like a spicier, (just a touch,) beast version of Karma by Lush. I've always loved the Karma soap but not the frag, for some unknown reason to me, so this is my new favorite frag right now.

Absolutely amazing long lasting beast scent, Armaf knocked this one out of the park 🔥🔥🔥 Better than liquid brun in so many ways Longevity and projection been the main, so good...creamy gourmand and the closest to PDM Althair I've tried

I have 5 middle eastern dupes and this is easily the most complimented one. Very similar to the OG. Can’t go wrong for the price

Beast mode! Althair DNA on steroids Big W from armaf and bottle is fire as well

Well, let's start from here, this perfume is considered a copy of Althair by Perfume De Marley. Another perfume that is considered similar to Althair is Liquid Brown by French Avenue. In my opinion, the smell of this perfume is not comparable to Liquid Brown at all. Liquid Brown has an almond scent that most people may not like this particular almond scent, and because of similarity to almond note, wherever you search for perfumes similar to Althair on the internet; the first option you will see is Liquid Brown. But Monarque by Armaf company fortunately does not have that almond scent and in my opinion it is much more fragrant and cinnamon with vanilla has created a beautiful gourmand perfume that is structurally much more similar to Althair and is gourmand-like; but Liquid Brown is not gourmand-like. If you like gourmands and sweet cinnamon-based fragrances, don't hesitate to buy this one. Your heart will beat with joy when you smell it my cinnamon lovers! خوب بیایید از اینجا شروع کنیم که این عطر رو کپی عطر آلتایر پرفیوم دی مارلی میدونند. من به شباهت این عطر با آلتایر از برند مارلی در حال حاضر کاری ندارم و تمرکزم بر روی خود رایحه هست. یکی دیگر از عطرهایی که شبیه به آلتایر میدانند عطر لیکویید براون از شرکت فرنچ اوونیو هست. ا از نظر من بوی این عطر اصلا قابل مقایسه با لیکویید براوون نیست. لیکویید براوون یک ته بوی بادامی داره که شاید اکثر افراد از این بوی خاص بادامی خوششون نیاد و همین مورد بادام هم هست که در اینترنت هر جا که شما بدنبال عطرهای مشابه آلتایر بگردید؛ اولین گزینه ای که خواهید دید؛ همین لیکویید براوون هست.ا ولی عطر مونارک از شرکت آرماف خوشبختانه اون ته بوی بادامی رو نداره و از نظر من خیلی خوشبو تر هست و دارچین در کنار وانیل یک عطر گورماند زیبا رو درست کرده که شباهت ساختاری اش به عطر آلتایر خیلی بیشتره و گورماند مانند هست؛ ولی لیکویید براون گورماند مانند نیست اگه عطرهای خوراکی مانند و شیرین بر پایه ی دارچین رو دوست دارید؛ در خرید این عطر شک نکنید. با بو کردن این عطر؛ ضربان قلبتون از خوشحالی به تپش خواهد افتاد.ا

Monarque Armaf, dupe for PdM Althaïr. If this is how Althair smells like, it's either you like it or hate it But I know I don't think I will be a fan of Althair. I didn't bother to get a decant of Althair and was aiming for a bottle of the much raved about liquid brun to try, just that I felt the DNA and notes wasn't really my type of scent profile, if it was I would have easily blind bought the og tester at a very very good price. Basically at the opening it's an orangey light vanilla with spices, not that it smells bad or no good but to me it's like a light version 🪓 Axe oil or fragranced medical oil with orange vanilla favors. Yes medical oil, medicinal oil orange vanilla flavor. Weird but it smells like that to me. So why should I spent hundreds on such a scent dna to smell like that? Perhaps the cinnamon was obvious but still...I rather wear something better with vanilla.... Btw I bought all 3 Lions Club. Feroce as a Haltane dupe was good. Don't mind keeping that. Gonna try Rugir next. The Bottle and presentation is nice but I hate that belt, that clumsiness to spray properly, I rather they fit it with a simple PdM lookalike cap and make it simple. Also the bottle is such a fingerprint magnet. This will be a once in a long long time wear for me so .. So yea end of story. No Athalair for me.

Disclaimer: Tester strip review Testing Lions Club Monarque and Stronger With You Intensely at the same time, Monarque is impressing me. Previously SWY has been one of my favourite sweet, gourmand and warm fragrances, but comparing it now to Monarque, Armaf has made a more sophisticated scent. They are both in the same corner of the fragrance world, occupying that friendly, sweet, amber, cinnamon and vanilla space. Lions Club feels slightly more mature and sophisticated, where SWY feels almost more juvenile in comparison. Comparing both on the strip, Lions club keeps drawing me back in, SWY has faded much faster. Based on this, Monarque seems to be better value, more mature, stronger projection, longer lasting on the strip. I'll be replacing SWY with Monarque as that sweet, colder weather date night comfy sort of scent.

I’ve tried Liquid Brun Historic Sahara Vanilla Dunes Art Of Nature II and Monarque. None of them impressed me as much as Monarque. It’s amazing, with a balanced, gentle, and pleasant vibe that feels so relaxing. The others have this but miss that, while Monarque is the most balanced and pleasing to my nose, probably because it’s the least spicy of the bunch. The scent is very smooth, lasts a long time over 10 hours on skin and gives off a calm, peaceful feeling. Among the trio of Rugir, Feroce, and Monarque, I think Monarque stands out by far. Its scent is unique, smooth, and the most worth buying. 2nd is Liquid Brun btw

It doesn’t have any bad smell at all. The scent is really nice. It smells more feminine than masculine. It has medium longevity on clothes. It’s on the same level as the original version. But overall, Liquid Brown is much, much better — especially after it has macerated (settled). 6/10

absolutely very bad performing fragrance, scent profile is good but projection and sillage is almost nothing at all day indoors

unfortunately so long lasting, makes me nauseous bro my brother wears it

It must suck paying 250 euro for the original when this exists. Better than liquid brun (higher quality smelling and closer to original). It also has better longevity than both Althair and the other clones (Liquid Brun and Art of Nature 2). This is from a sample so I can’t comment on bottle, but who really cares that much about bottles. To the guy below who wants to buy French Avenue because their bottles are better, you do you but that’s really stupid when the scent itself is insanely good.

I tried at a store recently an it's a beast mode on paper it lasted until next day and is a room filler, this was the strongest out of the whole lion's club line this is also 1:1 as althair and liquid brun on this one the orange blossom and the bergamot are the most present but once it dries down the vanilla comes off smells good, sweet and smooth, last for around 8-10 hours on skin. I would say even longer than liquid brun.

If you are a fragrant lover you can bet you already have something similar to this. Try before or you risk to throw away money. If you are a casual user of fragrance you might like this if you are after a very sweet scent. Mercedes Black smells similar but I prefer it to this.

Its good very good but not to justify the price tag of over £40, at least not as longbas liquid brun exists for half the price providing superior experience in performance over all. Armaf needs to calm their prices down.

Not a dupe fan, saw this one at a store and tested it, smells nothing like Althair, smells more like dusty "sculpture" instead! if you like althair save up and buy it.

@Ambergriz. What is armafs clone of Scandal Absolute???? I gotta get me some of that 🤘

@ProudGirlDadXs2 It's called Armaf King.

Awesome scent. Definitely worth a look.
