The review
On paper, Tux for the Monarch is a strong bet if you want Tuxedo for less.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Tuxedo's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $60 it costs 73% less than Tuxedo.
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 lavender and bergamot, turns to orris, vetiver and patchouli, and settles into Tonka Bean, vanilla and woody notes. That is the brief Tux for the Monarch is working from.

Lavender and iris over tonka woods, tailored and softly nocturnal.
