Contes de Parfums - Sydney
He sipped fresh pineapple juice as he finished his late breakfast. Beautiful full bloom rose bushes perfumed the pristine terrace. The clear blue sky and bright sun further set the stage as he contemplated and marvelled at the awe-inspiring architectural backdrop of the Sydney Opera House. A visual realisation of an architect’s passion, which soon would combine with his true passion, sailing. He delighted with anticipation of what was to come. Stepping on the sailboat, the wooden deck welcomed him with a familiar humid scent of noble wood, the soothing gentle rocking back and forth as the final preparations were made for this much await experience. He set sail, gaining speed as he passed under the harbour bridge, cutting sharp angles through the sea as the continuous wind filled the magnificent sails, his face sprayed with a constant salty reminder that the sea was ever omni-present in their togetherness. Sydney, a day of great passions.
The perfumer - Ramon Monegal
I am inspired by one of my great passions: sailing! Breeze, sea, sun and blue sky in a unique architectural environment.
Ramon’s passion for sailing is a recollection of Sydney. Citrus notes of bergamot and pineapple perforate the architectural blue skies and bright sun.
