The review
Strong contender. That is where Monarch lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to X For Men.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is X For Men's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 76% less than X For Men — the 3rd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: bergamot, lavender and cardamom up top, geranium, nutmeg and cinnamon in the middle, sandalwood, oakmoss and musk underneath — the shape of Clive Christian X For Men.
