Karen Walker Monumental 50ml

The first men's fragrance from karen walker is a classical oriental spicy eau de perfume with the compelling, sensual energy of unexpected modern elements. invigorating top notes of chili pepper leaf, pink peppercorn and juicy, thirst-quenching pomegranate vibrate like atoms against an intensely masculine smoky base of bourbon vetiver and woody amber, coalescing with the heady exoticism of patchouli and complex floral heart notes of peony, lavender and geranium essence. “monumental came out of a desire to find a new template for masculinity, to create a modern, confident men's scent,” karen walker says, “there's something so deliciously rakish and edgy about this fragrance. i wanted it to be subversive and yet classic at the same time.” french perfumier veronique nyberg stepped up once more to collaborate with karen on her first-ever men's eau de perfume. she describes her experience in creating monumental saying “it was like sculpting granite. there was a sense of permanence and heritage in what i was doing and yet i felt revelation too, because the man who wears monumental understands traditions but is never bound by them.”
