Ramon Monegal

 Seduction, passion and strength.

I have submerged myself in an art known for its great emotional intensity and which comes from something rooted in my cultural origins, flamenco. Distinguished by its wild gestures, ferocious foot stamping, profound laments and guitar flourishes. Flamenco, my olfactory manifesto to the Andalusian character tattooed with fire on the soul of Spain. Intoxicating emotion expressed in song, guitar and dancing which, under the spell of the Alhambra, transcends in perfume: salty tears, like the southern dew, a fan of orange flower petals, rose and jasmine, interwoven with sandal and cedar wood with a base of voluptuous nectar of saffron stamens, amber and musk. Flamenco is a profound and passionate art… it’s a unique state of mind. It’s my forbidden hypnotic fruit!

Instant of euphoria, moment of maximum fulfillment ... powerful emotional state!

My caprice.
One of the nicest things we can enjoy in Spain in March, is the flowering of over a million cherry trees on the valle del Jerte, painting a sea of white flowers of sublime scent that will turn into the fruit of desire: cherries. Impossible to resist the temptation to interpret it, impossible to resist the temptation to wrap it in musk.

Classification: Musky-fruity-floral.

Part of the Spanish collection
Ode to the sun, ode to life, ode to joy. The Sun, adored as a deity with supernatural powers in many great cultures. Source of life, symbol of happiness that emits the light that illuminates us. I have taken up the challenge of creating an olfactory image of a burst of sunlight from which creative energy flows. The light FAÍSA, a fantasy in the form of an optimistic fable, a counterpoint to the present grey moment, a manifesto on Happiness’ transformational and energizing current. Where there is sun, there is life and where there is life, there is joy!

At dawn, when the darkness begins to fade with the incipient light and the warmth of the sun gains intensity, the silhouette of the wild rose is blurred against the light. The dew that wets its petals evaporates in the heat of the sun’s rays and creates an aura around it that moves capriciously in the morning breeze. The curiosity inherent in my profession pushes me to approach and savor this queen just when she wakes up and her scent is unique. My instinct guides me to the moment when the queen’s heart is uncovered to enter, between dew and gloom, to steal her reason for being.

Fragrance Notes: 

• Top notes: Indian ginger, Spanish saffron, Cashmeran, Magnolia grandiflora
• Heart Notes: Rose damask, Pink pepper reunion, Virginian Cedarwood, Frankincense Somalia

My indulgence. 

Exuberant, opulent and seductive. A festive, lively statement.
My revenge. At the beginning of my training, the first classic accord I had to learn and replicate, without much luck, was the legendary floral tuberose with jasmine and orange blossom. I've now been able to regain that satisfying experience and to interpret the myth, reformulate the accord fragrance with my learned language.+

Fragrance Notes: 

Indian tuberose absolute, iris on cedarwood, Egyptian jasmine absolute, Tunisian neroli and Tolu balsam.

Classification: Floral rich tuberose.

"They say that with five notes you get the lightness of a perfume, but I wanted to double the bet. And, defying the canons of perfumery, I asked freshness for intensity. So I fleshed out the classic bergamot and lime accords with balsamite and neroli, giving them the intensity of oak moss and amberwood. Because more is always more." - Ramon Monegal.

My provocation.

Categorical and provocative. Cunning seduction, impulse of freedom.

Inspired by the raw smell of patchouli leaves that I discovered with hippies in the sixties on the island of Ibiza and represented the first olfactory image that defined an attitude: provocation and freedom. Mon patchouly has become sophisticated, enriched with poetic sunsets on the sea watched from the Café del Mar; it is addictive and captivating for its power to convince and seduce everyone around.

Fragrance Notes: 

Indonesian patchouli, Yugoslavian oak moss absolute, Somalian frankincense, geranium bourbon, Egyptian jasmine absolute and amber.

Classification: Mossy wood crisp watery.

I imagined wild Oud wood, with birch leaves and osmanthus flowers, planted on a damp earth of musk, nourished with chocolate savia and strongly sustained by vetiver roots. Its soul seems like the most powerful wood that has ever existed and seems capable of being the protagonist in any story. Legendary fable, myth of seduction, chimera and reality. Quintessence of Oud!

I created my first personalized perfume in 1977 for my bride to wear on our wedding day. It was a white powdery floral fragrance based on the iris root. Since then, iris has been one of my obsessions. It is the most unclassifiable, elegant, beautiful, expensive ingredient. The root must be dried for three years before its precious essence can be extracted. But it does not last as much as it costs and making it last is almost… impossible!
