Impossible Iris by Ramón Monegal

A perfume created for a bride...


My devotion for the iris note in perfumery always leads me to discover new perfumes and revisit the classics so here I found a true gem from 1977 that are based around the intriguing and always beautiful iris root note. The composition is utterly special but hat makes this perfume truly unique and even more special is because it's Ramon's first personalized perfume and he made it for the a bride who is his wife today.

Used in perfumery as far back as 1480 to scent linen, orris is a mysterious and irreplaceable ingredient. Harvested from the root of Iris Pallida, orris is nearly odorless until if undergoes a few years of maturation. Once orris is distilled to become orris butter, a semi-solid essential oil, the aroma attracts many in different ways. Depending on how it's interpreted in a perfume, it can smell like anything from sweet to woody to powdery. But indisputably, it's one of the rarest and finest ingredients in the olfactive world.


As per Ramón Monegal,

"I created my first personal perfume in 1977, for which I was going to be my wife on our wedding day. It was a perfume around the iris root, floral and powdered white. Since then the iris has been one of my obsessions. It is the most elegant, beautiful, unclassifiable and expensive ingredient that exists. The root must be dried for three years and then extract its precious essence. But it does not last for what it is worth and to make it last is almost… impossible!"

REVIEW
Impossible Iris is a truly special and important perfume because it's Ramon's first personalized perfume and he made it for the a bride who is his wife today. It represents a flower to love a woman and the iris represent the love here. Since 1977, Impossible Iris evokes pure love and utterly elegance to the wearer thanks to its powdery and aldehydic profile as well as its magical floral bouquet consisting in iris and soapy mimosa with an added fruity twist thanks to a raspberry note that turns green at certain stages paired with a creamy Ylang-Ylang. I love this gorgeous perfume.



Impossible Iris es un perfume realmente especial e importante porque es el primer perfume personalizado de Ramon y lo hizo para la novia que es su esposa a día de hoy. Representa una flor para amar a una mujer y el iris representa el amor aquí. Desde 1977, Impossible Iris evoca amor puro y elegancia absoluta para el usuario gracias a su perfil aldehídico y empolvado, así como a su mágico bouquet floral que consiste en iris y mimosa jabonosa con un toque afrutado adicional gracias a una nota de frambuesa que se vuelve verde en ciertas etapas emparejada con un cremoso Ylang-Ylang. Me encanta este maravilloso perfume.

BLACK by Puredistance Master Perfumes

A breathtakingly elegant, addictive, charming and evocative perfume that is truly memorable THE PERFUME "You are allowed to let your mind and senses fly and paint your own picture based on those lines, colors and textures" BLACK  is an experience in its own, a fragrance that is imposing, but refined and elegant, powerful but delicate, dark but bright, mysterious and sensual, a composition that I can define as a dangerous treat and an olfactory journey through different phases like a book, a movie or a piece of music can do, even a painting where the individual is always subject to its own interpretation and able to feel whatever that paint evokes in its own mind without judging which materials the artist used, which is the formation or references, the inspiration,etc., you are allowed to let your mind and senses fly and paint your own picture based on those lines, colors and textures. NOTES As a consequence of the concept of BLACK (that treasures the beauty of...

MUNLARK ASH BY MIHAN AROMATICS

Imagen
Straight from the heart of a forest in Australia comes Munlark Ash, the latest addition to the Mihan Aromatics portfolio THE PERFUME Munlark Ash is reminiscent of the undeniable beauty of Australia’s bushland and outback. Made with rich spices and woody notes, the parfum’s delicate smokiness alludes to what remains undisturbed, and undiscovered. Alongside cedar wood, black pepper and fir needles, Munlark Ash honours  the Australian Blue Cypress Tree traditionally known as ‘Munlark’ by the Rembarrnga people of the North ern Territory. The parfum celebrates  the complexity of Australia’s flora and fauna, alongside the Indigenous Australians to whom it belongs.   Resinous, cleansing, nostalgic and arboreal Munlark Ash cherishes the nurture provided by Australia’s land and trees, encouraging indulgence in the rejuvenation they offer. To mark the release of Munlark Ash, Mihan Aromatics have collaborated with Heath Wae, a Byron Bay b...

Cafe Tuberosa by Atelier Cologne

Imagen
Hyper realistic fresh coffee beans. One of the best coffee based scents that I've ever smelled Opening with the most realistic coffee note I've ever smelled merged with the typical citrus freshness of Atelier's DNA and heritage thanks to the mandarin and the bergamot. To the hyper realistic fresh coffee beans is added a tuberose that begins being green and becomes juicy and creamy as the time goes by to join a wonderful and syrupy rose, the cocoa and the vanilla, creating a sensual mix that I find super addictive The fragrance ends up resting on a base of cocoa, vanilla with floral nuances and aroma of coffee. This is probably one of the best coffee based scents that I've ever smelled. The longevity is fantastic and the sillage pretty good Once again a fantastic creation by Atelier, Bravo! Notes: Calabrian Bergamot, Sicilian Mandarin, Guatemalan Cardamom, Rose Oil, Indian Tuberose, Coffee, Madagascar Vanilla and Cacao Pod. Apertura con la nota de café mas realista ...
