Ramon Monegal

Designer Ramon Monegal was born in 1951 in Barcelona. He is a descendant of the most important family of perfumes in Spain, meaning he is the fourth generation of the founders of the Myrurgia company. A company that was in charge of the Spanish royal family, Vermon became over the years its most important international representative. For Ramon, Myrurgia became a second home and he began his training in it as early as 1972. There he invested himself completely and made close contact with the most essential fragrances like mythical infusions of ambergris, tonka beans, musk, castorium, sivet and iris. His training as a perfumer continued in Geneva with his mentor, Artur Jordi Pey (of Firmenich), then in Grasse with Marcel Carles and finally in Paris with Pierre Bourdon (from Takasago and Fragrance Resources). From the beginning of his career as a name, Ramon Monegal began to develop the concept of the scent image, which he continues to enrich and cultivate even today. His sensitivity, thoroughness and eagerness in preparing his works in all their stages and aspects naturally led him to be involved in the processes of idea, design and communication as well. To acquire expertise in these fields, he completed his studies in architecture at the Barcelona Design Center in 1977. Ramon Monegal created his first fragrance in 1979, a fragrance that blossomed and soon became an almost unexpected success for the Myrurgia House. From that time he took on the creative management of the business for more than 20 years. In 2000, the Fuig Group acquired Myrurgia and was asked to continue to create new and successful fragrances for the group. In 2007 he left his role in the group, and after a period of contemplation and experience, began the project he had always dreamed of: creating his own fragrances and reaching directly to his public and signing his works as a real name, without filters and without mediation. After 40 years in the profession, having become an artisan perfumer, Ramon Monegal's challenge is to reach excellence and pass on his knowledge to the fifth generation. In his view perfume can only rise to the level of artistry when accompanied by complete freedom of the creative mind capable of creating formulas and using proportions of unbridled ingredients, regardless of costs or marketing filters, and artist methods now returning to the forefront of the stage; Ramon Monegal knows this well, and in 2009 he decided to carry out his precious project: to offer an authentic perfume master fragrance collection and open a showroom with his own signature, thus expressing the perfumes of the golden age before the days of mass production. Currently, Ramon has its own workshop that specializes in mixing, condensing, producing and controlling its fragrances; He works with a sense of true freedom, and enjoys the luxuries provided by his abilities to reach art; He sets no limits to his imagination; He uses the noblest and most exclusive essences in the world to convey emotions, and eternal emotions with a Mediterranean passion, as he restores eternal art through nature. It is exciting, seductive and surprising, and creates pleasure, desire and magic, as it deciphers the language of scents. Mastery of raw materials From its inception as a name, Monegal has shown courage, good taste and mastery of the most complicated and expensive raw materials. He had a high sensitivity and thoroughness in preparing his works in all its stages and aspects. It has managed to produce about 45 different fragrances, despite the fact that its fragrance Ramon Monegal is a relatively new brand of fragrances. The earliest edition was created in 2009 and the newest is from 2021. Our attention was caught by the fragrance Next Two which is an amber floral fragrance for women and men. Remains for a long time on the skin and has a pleasant presence.
