“Like ambrosia, with profound respect and imbued with personal experiences, I have interpreted without copying a composition inspired by the values of the ingredients of some of the irreplaceable works from the golden era of perfume. Olfactory metaphors, messages and images that revealed a unique inspiration and an incontrovertible seal forged in the Monegal perfumery. My homage: Fiesta.
I was dreaming of the ancestral rite of love, imagining an in nite romance between the majesty of the sun and weather-beaten bull’s hide, my land. My feelings were flowing in a learned language in the milieu of amber values, of a family heritage of perfume and inserted into a flamenco dance of red rose petals. Enchanting love, bewitching vanilla fire and balsamic smoke, uncontrolled passion, red on black. Sparks flew, fireworks, yellow incandescent shapes, the whites of pure light in the blues of a calm sea. It’s the fiesta, our fiesta, the coming together of perfume and art offered to those who made it possible and those who will make it memorable.”

The inkwell
Inspiration, quality and features.
The main source of inspiration for Ramón Monegal, apart from nature, is literature —from the wealth of prose to the succinctness of poetry. He turns words into notes, phrases into chords, stories into compositions, and the ink, the ethyl-lyrical component and of all events, into imagined perfume.
In tribute to his source of inspiration and making use of the most luxurious materials, the perfumer has designed an inkwell, lovingly referred to as Mon encrier, as an iconic perfume recipient, an object of desire, a single bottle that houses all of the soul and essence of his work.
Sticking to his principles that involved using the best materials, he chose semiautomatic handmade glass that allowed him to produce a flacon with a unique body, feel and presence; bakelite —a formaldehyde resin that was widely used in perfumery in the mid-twentieth century and he wanted to recover for its valuable characteristics of feel, sound and neutrality— for the lid and the presentation box; and, finally, bonding together glass and bakelite, a crimp made of zamak, an alloy that combines zinc, aluminium, magnesium and copper, and gives the flacon an unmistakably rich feel and sound.
