There does seem to be a *lot* of scents in the initial lineup, and that is a bit of a "yellow flag"... That said, most of them do sound very interesting, so maybe that is a good thing? I'll give these all a sniff in time for sure. Thanks for the heads' up Alfa!

Hello everyone! I am also exploring this line. I have some more information;

The Perfumer;

"Ramón Monegal is a very recognized Spanish perfumer, with an experience over 35 years. He was the owner and the Creative Director of Myrurgia, the greatest Spanish fragrance company over many years. In 2000, Myrurgia was sold to Puig Group (Carolina Herrera, Nina Ricci, Prada...)
In 2009, and tired of commercial perfumery, Ramón decided it was the time to do what he could never do: to create his own brand, with all his passion, love and experience, without any kind of limitations to create exactly that he wants, using the most exclusive, rare and expensive raw materials. The consequence is a very special, exceptional and original collection composed of 14 fragrances, including several exclusive Oud woods, an impressing amber, an incredible Iris, roses, tuberous, tonka bean, cotton, leathery notes….

The 50 ml is our icon and international image. We named it “Inkwell”, because with every fragrance you can write a single and beautiful history, and it has been 100% designed by Mr. Monegal, using the best materials as semiautomatic glass, zamak and baquelite."




I hope that is helpful. Also I have some samples that I can share. I'll start a share thread soon, after I come back from holiday. Keep an eye out!!

Meantime, as Alfarom said, Aus Liebe Zum Duft/First in Fragrance have them.

PS: The "Inkwell" bottle is really special, beautifully designed, lovely materials, great quality and with a lovely heft to it. It comes in a Bakelite Cannister. It is really a lovely object. Very desirable actually. It leans to the masculine I think. I am sure that the boys will love it!! And the girls too!!
post #13 of 189
Sounds very very interesting.

Now the main Q is, will it be a watered down version of what it could've been like say Memo or Esteban or will it be intense like Serge Lutens and o'Drui!?

Grazie Mille alfarom and Foustie!
post #14 of 189
Yes, thanks!

I would love a full-series sample pack - I would buy that blind.
post #15 of 189
I contacted with Monegal´s boutique four months ago and they had kindly send me free samples from all his fragrances except Kiss my name (you can see the photo in February 2011 purchases thread). I know that nowadays they´re preparing a samples program to sell it.

My general opinion is that Ramon Monegal have good fragrances, but compared with another niche scents its needs to have "something more". I suppose this "something more" will come with the experience, after all this house have only 5 or 6 years of life.

Respect to the fragrances, the ones that have a unique smell and I like the most are Lovely Day, Black Suit and Impossible Iris. However, as the entire collection, they need more longevity and projection (I think longevity is more important). Umbra smells similar to Terre d´Hermés (a friend of mine found similarities with Red Vetiver too) and if you take Montale´s Blue Amber and delete the bergamot, you´ll have some similar to Ambra di Luna (amber here is very potent).

Thanks for your thoughts CG. Have you tried their leathers?
post #17 of 189
Some more - i think very interesting - information about Ramon Monegal:
"Ramón Monegal is part of the history of Barcelona and one of Spain’s most important perfumers and is the fourth generation of the family that founded Myrurgia S.A. Ramón trained between 1972 and 1976 in “maison Myrurgia”, in Geneva with his mentor Maitre Parfumeur Arturo Jordi Pey (Firmenich), then in Grasse with M. P. Marcel Carles (Roure Bertrand and Argeville) and finally in Paris with M. P. Pierre Bourdon (Takasago and Fragrances Resources) and M. P. Max Gavarry (I.F.F.). In 1979 he created his first successful perfume, Alada, at Myrurgia, which went on to be a market leader for many years..." ((c) ausliebezumduft.de)

I own "Umbra" and all I can say is: this is potent stuff! I cannot complain about bad longevity and sillage at all - this lasts on me for many hours! Sprayed the first time I also had the impression the fragrance would smell like a mix between Montale's Red Vetyver and Chopard's Noble Vetiver. But being happy to smell slight similarities we must not forget that these are completely different fragrances! At least once it settled down there are not really many similarities left.
So instead building up prejudices against a new brand without reason (I know it's a lot of fun doing that ) better just check this fragrances out with an open mind.

Our first mini review is in!!

Entre Naranjos;

Naranjos. What an appropriate introduction to a Spanish line! It opens with Neroli, Orange, Petigrain. The overall effect is of the most uplifting neroli, clean and clear as crystal. There is a hint of orange there, and that wonderful slightly woody/herbal quality of petigrain. It is very light. Lovers of traditional Eau De Cologne will really appreciate this.

Then it unexpectedly develops into a very soft skin scent. I liked that actually. The Eau de Cologne opening then a twist. Ambergris they say? Well I don't know, but to me an ambery phase which retains some orange and then the slightest hint of patchouli. Delightful!

I am going to say something about projection and longevity in relation to this fragrance in particular. This fragrance is feather light and after a fleeting opening it wears very, very close to the skin. At first I thought that this meant that it lacked something but I have tried it a few times now and I have completely changed my mind. You know you cant judge everything with the same yardstick. It is not a powerhouse fragrance and it is not meant to be. It is a whisper of a thing, as light as a breeze. Sometimes it is better to whisper than to shout, and I think that this is actually the essence of this fragrance. It is elegant and very discreet. It would make a beautiful addition to ones wardrobe for those times when a beautiful cologne is just the thing for that moment.

It is completely androgynous.

Yes, Alfarom, I´ve tried their leathers. Give me some few hours to test it again because I don´t remember exactly how it were.

The only feel I can remember is about Cuirelle. It was a sweet leather (The sweet feeling was over the leather note) wich results me a little strange contrast. As I said, give me some few hours.

Fantastic review Foustie. Very intelligent and professional approach, seriously. I completely agree with you that every fragrance should be properly contextualized. You can't expect every composition to be a powerhouse. Stuff like Aprees L'Ondee, Bel Respiro or Jardins De Kerylos are amazing in their fragility...I guess you know what I mean...

Great review Foustie. I also agree wholeheartedly with your assessment that "sometimes it is better to whisper than shout." I think that is overlooked quite frequently.

Hiya! You are so right! I was thinking of Cuirelle as a soft leather then when I read your comments I looked at it again and you are right. It does have a lovely soft quality but it is also has a sweetness. Sweet skin on skin, very sensual.

I´m glad you like Cuirelle, Foustie. I have the misfortune of the Monegal´s patchouly gives me a headache (as Mon Pachouly do too) and that´s a note at least as present as leather on this fragrance. I still waiting your opinions about another Monegal´s fragrances when you try it.

Some comments about The Collection;

I am still getting to know my samples. (I'm not fast). But I think that I am getting some overall impressions of the collection. The words that keep popping into my head are, chic, and refined, but I wouldn't want you to think that this means that they are very "serious" or humourless. Quite the contrary in my view. I think that there is actually quite a bit of fun in this range too! Whether that was Mr Monegal's intention, or whether he would agree or disagree with that view I wouldn't know, but that is how I find them.

The range is diverse. But there is also a definate signature, a deftness of hand, an elegant restraint, in my humble opinion. There is also a really interesting aspect that I am discovering, and it will be great when you all have the chance to try them and hopefully we can chat about this; it is about the treatment of the basenotes. Lets say in the use of the patchouli, and the oud, which are usually very dense. Here they are not, so that, for example the Agar Musk has butch smoky, creosote notes but it wears with a sort of transparency.

See you later..

welcome back Foustie

I've rapidly tested Umbra on my skin today. First impression is that the fragrance is good. I don't get the comparison with Terre D'Hermes. To me Umbra is a dry, kinda sweet-balmy, woody-mossy vetiver. Closer in concept to Fat Electrician, Vetiver Oriental or even Vetiver Tonka but very different in the execution which result somewhat more "classic" (expecially during the drydown). Fans of old-school restrained mascluines should check this one out.

To be completely honest, it actually opens with a modern accord of green fresh vetiver and pepper to then quickly evolve into a sweeter woody-mossy balsamic drydown that's definitely more old-fashioned.
post #41 of 189
Impossible Iris;

I am absolutley blown away by this one! Now I do like Iris anyway and I have a few, but this is incredible. Iris and Raspberry!! What do we think about that? Let me try to tell you about it.

To try to describe it for you, I compared it to several other Iris fragrances. So, the opening of Impossible Iris sits quite closely to Heeley's Iris De Nuit in terms of tonality. It is an airy Iris, not rooty. There the similarity ends as the Heeley quickly becomes violets and musk and the Monegal veers off in a different direction altogether. It develops a "fruity" quality. Now I don't mean generic fuity, not at all. When I was "playing" with Impossible Iris at first I kept thinking, "what is that" and all of a sudden I realised that it was raspberry! Looking at the published list of notes, there it is! Frambois. The raspberry note is a standout feature, a delightful surprise.

Impossible Iris is well named. It is Iris all right but it is never rooty or earthy. It continues to climb the scales in fact. The development holds interest. In the mid development the ylang perhaps contributes to the fruity facets of this fragrance. The Jasmine is not at all dominant, not obvious to me in fact, so it plays more of a supporting role. There is a richness in the mid development which perhaps edges Impossible Iris further away from the Heeley and a little closer to Malle's Iris Poudre (minus the poudre!). I must stress that Impossible Iris is not at all powdery but at that stage it is as rich, rounded, and interesting as Iris Poudre. There is cassie in Impossible Iris. Is this what coaxes the Iris into warmer, friendlier, more approachable territory? This Iris is not aloof. Beautiful yes, very, but not vain.

To me the fragrance continues to reach clearer, higher notes in development. Then we have a persistent drydown, cedar and is there some vetiver too? Actually, I pick up a dry, ghostly breeze of wood at various stages in the development of Impossible Iris.

Impossible Iris is full of wonderful contradictions. It is airy yet has body, it is juicy yet dry, clear yet rich, it is friendlier than many Iris fragrances, but still sophisticated. It has fun! It strikes me as the most beautifully composed fragrance, the whole, well....shines.

Today, for me, it is Iris, Raspberry, and wood. Fabulous.

Sillage is good. Longevity is excellent. I applied some at bed time last night and I woke up to it this morning.

The Iris is one of the standouts of this collection for me. It strikes me as a fresh and new interpretation. I am having this one!

CardaGiorgio. I think that you said that the Iris was one of your favourites. Are my impressions anything like yours? Or different. Please let us know.

Terrific review Foustie.
post #43 of 189
Amazing review, Foustie. I must to confess that Imposible Iris is in my opinion one of the best smells from Monegal´s line because I only perceive the iris surrounded by another notes that I´ve not been able to describe. Now, after reading your review, I realized that maybe you´re right.

I can´t say that I perceive the same like you, because you´ve perceived more notes than me. Basically, our opinions are equal.

My FB of Impossible Iris arrived from Aus Liebe Zum Duft yesterday! The Bakelite cannister is a great feature, and also very practical as it protects the fragrance from light. The "Inkwell" bottle is really impressive. A lovely thing to handle. Do you like it?

(Grrrr, still haven't worked out how to make pics bigger here, just click on them!!)

Foustie, I love it. I own a full bottle of Agar Musk and I guess I know what you're talking about. I'm currently trying to get rid of a terrible cold so I can finally give a proper wear to my Monegal samples. I've recently tried Entre Naranjos which actually quite impressed me for its understated beauty. Very elegant as opposed to "in-your-face", easy to wear and with what I start to recognize as the house signature: a brilliant juxtaposition between modern accords (and materials) and an overall "old-world" vibe. I still have to exactly catch what gives me this impression but, it's definitely compelling.

hello everyone, today I tried White Musk...a two liner review...

What starts with a blast of sharp gardenia and sweet vanilla, soon morphes into a very elegant yet understated clean musk with woody/resiny undertones. Definitely modern, easy to wear and smooth. Simple and light yet somewhat distinctive. If you like white musks, this is well worth checking out.

Perfectly unisex.

Morning A! Hmmm, that is interesting. White Musk is probably my least favourite of the line. I didn't find it particulary interesting or engaging, but to be fair it is really not my thing. I did also think think that it is a bit expensive for it's type. Hmmm, but I had another try after reading your comments, and yeah, I saw the opening in a different light, but the whole..... maybe....not sure....maybe.... not sure..... nope. Not for me anyway, but each to their own..

I really needed to hold on the off-putting opening notes but, after that, it is a nice close to the skin white musk. It isn't my thing either (not at all), but for people who's into clean musks, I think it can represent a valid option. That been said, yes, I agree it's a bit overpriced for this type of fragrance.
