“You still don’t know me, and I already fascinate you. You haven’t even seen me, but you know you’re attracted to me. I master the art of subtlety, and I catch with my determination and talent. You haven’t met anyone like me. I’m 100% charisma.” -Quote from Ramon Monegal on Invisible But Cool.

Who doesn’t want to be invisible but cool? The idea of blending in but having the aura of someone unforgettable is certainly attractive to me. As such Ramon Monegal Invisible But Cool certainly piqued my interest. Invisible But Cool is one of three new perfumes in his Kaleidoscopic Collection which express his imagination through different lenses. This year has seen a shift from the overtly dense and in your face ‘crowd pleasing’ fragrances to a more ‘refined’ target orientated number of releases which are focused on creating a lasting imprint on our memories. The idea of creating fantasy and intrigue via perfume is something we can relate to and here Ramon Monegal has taken his heritage and knowledge of fragrance to present us with a scent which is thoroughly modern but uses tried and tested ingredients to pronounced effect.

“Perfume precedes presence and lingers on in absence.” –Ramon Monegal

Ramon Monegal Invisible But Cool has three key elements which make it an unusual perfume for the summer; projection, sillage and longevity. It fills the air with a crisp fresh vibe which is the perfect for hot and humid days teamed up with a cotton shirt, jeans and ice white kicks. This perfume speaks clean, modern and dignified. One can imagine it playing the role of a cool breeze blowing against the sail of a yacht on the Mediterranean coastline. Everything about this fragrance speaks out for one to chill and relax. Invisible But Cool brings a likeable fruity nuance yet keeps things refined rather than overblown and loud.

The opening is crystalline, sparkling, and the combination of bergamot, sweet orange and coriander gives the sense of a shimmer on the sea. The heart of Invisible But Cool is where things become remarkably interesting. From reading the notes, we may think that the fusion of jasmine, neroli and violet might take a sultry or indolic shift. However, these notes are used to amplify the slight powdery and subtle sweetness of the perfume as opposed to bringing through strong sensual aspects. The base of sandalwood, mate and oakmoss pushes the woody and earthy nuances to the fore and the use of mate in particular highlights the crisp and almost herbaceous tonality of Invisible But Cool. The result is a perfume which is easy to wear and suitable for nearly everyone.

So why is it a special fragrance? Although it clearly has a commercial appeal, Ramon Monegal Invisible But Cool has two advantages; clean subtlety – what I mean by this is that there is no overdose of aroma chemicals. Huge longevity – I sprayed in the morning on leaving my home and when I returned late at night to my surprise the scent still lingered in the air. From a selfish perspective the compliment factor is high, people around me mentioned how good I smelled and that I got it right in terms of presentation. This makes Invisible But Cool a clear go to for this time of the year when one wants to keep things easy going but when you still want to get noticed.
