Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

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 Mamluk.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Mamluk's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $122 per 100ml it costs 69% less than Mamluk — the cheapest of 1 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: davana, magnolia and bergamot up top, rose, honey and ylang-ylang in the middle, oud, amber and sandalwood underneath — the shape of Xerjoff Mamluk.
