I created my first personalised 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!
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.
