Monom is on DecantGems with 13 samples. A guide by the recorded data, with 8 samples shown.
Monom is on DecantGems with 13 samples. Below are 8 of them, described with the facts we hold and nothing else. The order is not a ranking; it is a way to choose where to begin.
The selection
Monom Oscuro
Monom Oscuro by Monom: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.
Monom Tari'
Monom Tari' by Monom: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.
Monom Brama
Monom Brama is on the list from Monom. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume.
Monom Nardo
Monom Nardo, by Monom, comes without a recorded note list on our pages. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.
Monom Respiro
Monom Respiro by Monom: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. Wear it on more than one day before you make up your mind.
Monom Rosalia
Monom Rosalia by Monom: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.
Monom Mare'
Monom Mare' by Monom: no note list is on record with us, so the sample page sticks to name and house. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.
Monom Sacro
Monom Sacro is on the list from Monom. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
Also in this selection: Monom Florea, Monom Erba, Monom Cloride, Monom Reyna, Monom Irmao.
How to test them
Apply one or two sprays to clean skin, without other scented products nearby. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week.
The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger. Keep short notes per perfume; after a week the choice usually makes itself. A sample is the sensible first step: a perfume on paper and a perfume on skin are rarely the same thing.

Questions
Which sizes do the samples come in?
Every sample comes as 2, 5 or 10 ml in a glass spray vial. The smallest is enough for a first impression, the larger ones for many wearings.
Why do some perfumes show no notes?
Because we only print notes we can trace to a source. Where no note list is on record, the page says so and leaves the judging to your own skin.
What is a decant?
Perfume moved from the original bottle into a smaller vial. Ours are filled by FragranceGems into glass spray vials and labelled by us, so you can wear a perfume before you decide on a bottle.
