Monogram Ralph Lauren for men

This is musky, though not super musky. It's certainly got some sweetness but it's not overboard, and it's a little syrupy. It's rather blended, but I'd say there is an animalic/leather aspect, along with patchouli and oakmoss. Florals are also present, and they are heavy/damp, but again, difficult to detect as individual notes (I'd guess powdery iris/orris root, rose, and jasmine,). There seems to be some spice but it's not dry/herbal at all. Not too far from vintage Chaps, though this one is not as leathery and instead is more floral. There is no obvious lavender and this has no fougere element to it. There is a vague note supplying a little "structure" to it, but I can't identify it, though it's not vetiver or a "hard" wood. One thing noteworthy about this fragrance is that is possesses a kind of "cool" quality that prevents it from feeling too heavy and dense; I wish I knew what is was! This is as good as any niche, if this is what you're seeking.
