The review
On paper, The Monarch is a strong bet if you want Oligarch for less.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Oligarch's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $176 per 100ml it costs 84% less than Oligarch — the 4th cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand 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
The original opens on lemon, bergamot and lime, turns to orange blossom, jasmine and apple, and settles into oakmoss, patchouli and mate. That is the brief The Monarch is working from.
Top
- lemon
- bergamot
- lime
Heart
- orange blossom
- jasmine
- apple
Base
- oakmoss
- patchouli
- mate
For the one who commands quiet power, a crisp citrus-and-green chypre of vetiver and oakmoss projecting effortless, mineral-clean authority.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 5 twins of Roja Parfums Oligarch we can price, The Monarch is number 4 on price per 100ml.
