Strong contender

The review
The Lion'S Club Monarque scores 6.5 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Althaïr.
Armaf Store sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Althaïr's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $60 it costs 79% less than Althaïr.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Armaf Store 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
Parfums de Marly Althaïr is cinnamon, orange blossom and cardamom at first, bourbon vanilla and elemi at its heart and praline, musk and Ambroxan at the end. Armaf Store set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- cinnamon
- orange blossom
- cardamom
Heart
- bourbon vanilla
- elemi
Base
- praline
- musk
- Ambroxan
Cinnamon and cardamom over bourbon vanilla, landing on praline and candied almond — a warm gourmand built for cold weather.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
