Pros & Cons
- Mouth-wateringly good. Huge hit of chocolatey goodness which is moderately sweet. Feels like black powder yet somehow has a lightness of feel.
- This is perfumery done right. just enough 'stench' to keep it interesting but as little as making it still reachable to most users.
- A top-tier scent all the way. Love this scent.
- Mouth-wateringly good. Huge hit of chocolatey goodness which is moderately sweet.
- This has a wonderful combo of cinnamon gum and floral garland
- Deep, rich, impeccably blended work of art.
- Oud Monarch is an extremely wearable chocolate oud that evokes feelings of comfort and contentment
- The best balance amongst the Bortnikoff Ouds I’ve tried so far.
- The oud, civet, and cacao cause my nose to be in smell death. Not a pleasing smell at all.
- Unfortunately this comes off on my skin just like other Bortnikoff and Maksim ouds, a sweet, balsamic, fermented smell that's very likeable but also completely linear.
- The current formulation smells like a different perfume to the older one. It's not bad, but it's totally different.

- Unfortunately this comes off on my skin just like other Bortnikoff and Maksim ouds, a sweet, balsamic, fermented smell
- Nobody actually likes this, it’s impossible. Nauseating doesn’t begin to explain what this smells like.
- I bought an FB last year, it has a strange rancid aftertaste to it.
