“The Sun, adored as a deity with supernatural powers in many great cultures. Source of life, symbol of happiness that emits the light that illuminates us. I have taken up the challenge of creating an olfactory image of a burst of sunlight from which creative energy flows…Where there is sun, there is life and where there is life, there is joy!” – Ramon Monegal

“The essences are each a separate glass

Through which the sun of being’s light is passed.

Each tinted fragment sparkles in the sun

A thousand colors but the light is one.” – Jami, 15th century

The essences, notes and accords used to create Ramon Monegal Fäisa remind me of crackling, dry summer days, bright flower filled meadows, wide pastures and waves of energizing heat reflecting off glittering strands. Light upon light – healing rays are absorbed into flowers and resins, released, distilled and fashioned into perfume.

Fäisa dawns as a mélange of saffron, lemon and sandalwood, an almost metallic, tart glitter that suffuses the wearer (and those within at least six feet) with a sunny, reassuring luminescence. The fragrance rises and diffuses into an easy wearing, balanced oud laced with Ylang-Ylang. Anise melds with mimosa creating a powdery aura, bordering on the medicinal, blooming into a noontide of roses, raspberries and jasmine. The sillage remains as spectacular as the sun, waxing even warmer as Fäisa matures into an afternoon of golden amber, vanilla and mimosa.

The heart of Ramon Monegal Fäisa is as long lived and as brilliant as a mid-summer’s day, settling at last into a fragrant sunset of caramel, tonka and rays of honeyed mimosa. When Old Sol rises again, the scent of Fäisa is there to greet me, lingering close to my skin and clinging sweetly to yesterday’s clothing.

Notes: Lemon, saffron, anise, cinnamon, ylang-ylang, mimosa, jasmine, rose, raspberry, oud, amber, vanilla, tonka, caramel and sandalwood.
