Monaco

very rich, cozy and warm scent long-lasting with strong sillage my favorite winter sweet/vanilla fragrance

I've had this perfume for a few months now and it has a very DISTINCTIVE smell. You should wear it only during the cold weather, never in the summer. This is exclusively a winter or late fall perfume as it warms you up from inside. The longevity and sillage are literally ETERNAL, I can smell it on my clothes even after the washings, so be careful with spritzing too much. One or two sprays are definitely enough for a few days for me personally, I wouldn't spray too much because the smell is very strong. I might even say it is way too strong for me sometimes, it is my second ever perfume and I recently discovered my nose is quite sensitive. Monaco smells like something very hot, like a rich and balsamic bonfire, you can literally smell fire on it. The spiciness is not massive but definitely noticeable to my nose, it is very warm spicy and also has warm sugary and woody notes. The sprayer is adequate, not bad but not very good either. The bottle is nice and compact too, the magnetic cap makes the perfume feel rich and comfy. The red color of the bottle definitely aligns with the smell of a smoky and way too warm evening near a hearth. This smell is strong enough to be considered masculine too, I'd say it is unisex and pretty mature, if you want a younger and more girly perfume Monaco is not for you. The strongest notes are smokiness and spiciness, if you don't smoke (I don't) this may seem overwhelming to you at first so spray it carefully or on clothes only.
