My olfactory language is largely based on essences extracted from wood. Of these the most rare and solemn is Indian agarwood —also known as oud, its Arabic name. A unique, powerful and almost magical scent with a great tradition in Arab culture. Given my penchant from the culture of Al-Andalus, I decided I should compose my own interpretation of this unique ingredient with a Western Mediterranean twist using also leather and musk.
The Monegal legacy: Guardians of the perfumier’s art since 1916. A history embracing five generations and 100 years of unique creations that envelop the five senses. Ramon Monegal, master perfumier and internationally recognised Nez, was a pioneer in developing the concept of the olfactory image, managing to evoke images through fragrances. Like a piece of music, Monegal perfume “the scent precedes and remains in absence”. As artists of the eighth art, our passion is creating perfumes with a Mediterranean soul that transport us to faraway lands, sublime moments and unforgettable memories.
