Monarch Homme

Smells very fresh and more of an aromatic smell than anything Gotten quite a few compliments which surprised me because it is so cheap

Perhaps one of the best value fragrances out there. If not, then the best.

Monarch smells pretty green and blue for a fragrance with such brown notes. I mean literally look at the note breakdown it's pictures of almost all brown stuff. Anyway when I smell it I smell turquoise 😂. No seriously this is a woody fresh fragrance that reminds you of something you've smelled a million times, but can't quite put your fingers on what it smells like. I'd say it smells like a cross between Cool Water and Hugo, or maybe a much lighter, less chemical like version of Giorgio Wings for men. Bottom line it smells good, lasts at least 8 hours, and projects moderately for 6 hours off skin. It's a decent buy, but redundant for most enthusiasts.

I'm really surprised to see this and other fragrances like it have made it on to Fragrantica finally! Although not my favorite scent being the opening is heavy on the ambergris/Inky notes it's pretty good especially at thr price point.

Cheap with good, nice & fresh top notes. However, It quickly becomes this weird chemically mess of a fragrance, like something a cheap hotel lobby or public bathroom. Maybe wins award for best start to worst finish in my collection. Inexpensive enough to give a spin, I've seen it at plenty of "rack" stores for well under 20 bucks, but I have no other recommendation on this vile stuff.
