There’s something undeniably magical about sunset in Monaco—a daily golden performance where the sky meets the sea and elegance lingers in the air. For Princess Grace, the principality was more than home; it was a stage for timeless beauty, quiet romance, and effortless sophistication.

In this golden hour guide, we round up the most enchanting places to watch the sun dip below the horizon in and around Monaco—each with a Grace de Monaco fragrance and styling tip to match the mood. Because when the sea meets the stars, the moment deserves more than just a view—it calls for presence, poise, and scent.

1. The Prince’s Palace Terraces

Perched high above the harbor in the heart of Monaco-Ville, the palace terraces offer sweeping views of Port Hercule and the Riviera beyond. It was here, in her private garden and royal residence, that Princess Grace often found serenity.

Style It Like Grace: A silk ribbon scarf, softly tailored white trousers, and oversized sunglasses channel royal Riviera flair.
Scent Pairing: Ombre Sereine — With warm notes of pinkberry, orris root, Turkish rose, and a dry-down of musk and soft leather, this scent lingers with elegance long after the sun sets.

2. Le Rocher’s Ramparts

The old stone walls of Monaco’s medieval quarter offer one of the most underrated golden hour views—less crowded, more intimate, and full of historic charm.

Style It Like Grace: Lightweight espadrilles, a belted linen dress, and a structured bag for an air of casual sophistication.
Scent Pairing: Promenade Sur Le Rocher — A floral, sun-warmed fragrance featuring rose centifolia, jasmine, freesia, and amber. Ideal for slow strolls along the ancient paths.

3. The Monte Carlo Beach Club

This legendary seaside escape, a favorite of Princess Grace, captures the spirit of Riviera leisure. As the sky turns pink over the Mediterranean, the scent of salt and sun-soaked skin fills the air.

Style It Like Grace: A wide-brim hat, vintage-inspired swimwear, and a breezy cover-up in soft pastels.
Scent Pairing: Danse Étoilée — Sparkling citrus and white florals grounded in warm woods and musk evoke the light, joyful essence of late afternoons by the sea.

4. The Exotic Garden (Jardin Exotique de Monaco)

High above the city, this garden bursts with succulents, rare botanicals, and unobstructed panoramic views. As the sun sets, the landscape takes on a dreamlike glow.

Style It Like Grace: A flowing midi dress in sunset tones, simple gold hoops, and strappy sandals.
Scent Pairing: Promenade Sous Les Étoiles — Deep and sensual, this fragrance blends bergamot, Rose de Mai, oud, and sandalwood. The perfect companion for a moment suspended in time.

5. Larvotto Beach Promenade

A beloved spot for quiet reflection, this recently revitalized stretch of shoreline is ideal for watching the light change over the water while waves gently lap the shore.

Style It Like Grace: Casual sophistication—linen shorts, a relaxed blouse, and Mirabeau sunglasses for a polished, off-duty look.
Scent Pairing: Your signature 7.5ml scent from the Summer Essentials Bundle tucked into a woven tote, so you can reapply with ease as the breeze shifts and the stars come out.
