Ramon Monegal Oud on Fire Review (Ramon Monegal) 2017 + Desert Rose Draw

Ramon Monegal Oud on Fire review

I dream of fire

These dreams that tie two hearts that will never die

Near the flames

This desert rose

Whose shadow bears the secret promise

This desert flower

No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this” -Sting featuring Cheb Mami from his album Brand New Day (1999)

If Ramon Monegal Oud on Fire was a piece of music, it would be Sting’s Desert Rose. If it were a place, it would be The Gobi Desert. If it were a colour, it would be burnished bronze verging on tarry, charred crimson – as fiery as Dante’s Inferno….

Oud, a raw material prized for centuries for its unique olfactive profile – simultaneously pungent yet very pleasing, evocative of warm, smoky notes with tinges of dampened wood. Although subtly nuanced with touches of floral and fruit tones, its predominant scent is musky and sensual. The complex and exquisite fragrance of oud is a precious, rare and intriguing gift of nature, evoking the feeling of opulence, luxury and supreme comfort. Historians trace the use of oud back to ancient times and incontrovertible evidence lies within the scriptures of various ancient cultures. The Prophet Muhammad held the tradition of fumigation with agarwood, which is a practice that continues in the Muslim world to this day. The Holy Prophet referred to agarwood as a distinct item found in Paradise. In Hebrew tradition, The Song of Songs describes oud as a form of incense, and King Solomon as “coming up from the desert like a column of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and incense.”

Spanish niche house of  Ramon Monegal masterfully showcases the note of oud in their Don’t Touch My Ouds line of 4 Extrait de Parfums launched in 2017, by Perfumer Ramon Monegal. An array of finest, precious raw materials are added to each composition to act as a backing vocals to the lead singer of the fragrances – the enigmatic and mysterious oud. Measured with precision and skill, they support the oud, elevating its olfactive profile but never overshadowing it. Despite many fragrance critics proclaiming oud passé; when it is used with such skill that Señor Monegal possesses, it is still, very much, a material-du-jour.

First spray of Ramon Monegal Oud on Fire sweeps you into a sensuous whirlwind of an enchanted and mysterious tale of the scorched winds of  Gobi Desert; its vastness, the limitless expanse of star-studded skies and undulating sand dunes, the oasis breeze traversing horizon as subtle tendrils of the finest Cambodian oud smoke cast its calming, mesmerizing spell – whispering the fables untold of its mystique. Rich opulence of oud weaves its way through the layers of the fragrance, like a hazy desert mirage unfolding before your eyes, painted in rich burnished bronze shades; cashmeran tendrils swirling around golden amberwood, cedar trees swaying gently in the warm breeze; suave rose cushions scattered around, lustrous and velvety; their reddening glow inviting the travelers to stop and enjoy a well-deserved rest at Caravanserai after long travels through the Silk Road. A gentle warmth of burning oud chips and curls of exotic cinnamon flavored shisha smoke lingers in the air of an ochre summer night sky, creating sensual and welcoming ambience.

Ramon Monegal Oud on Fire presents a dual textural feel, bone dry and silky smooth at once. Beyond the intoxicating, black pepper-spiked luscious rose and bright geranium opening touches, in its heart lurks the green shadows of textured, earthy patchouli and animalistic curlicues of oud smoke dancing seductively on the skin; merging with the whispered allure of tonka bean. A hypnotic tale woven out of precious woods, spinning around the velvety, sensuous rose floralcy generously flecked with cinnamon and fiery black pepper bite; it achieves olfactive synergy releasing a pulsating pungency – brooding and hauntingly beautiful, a rich tapestry of fascinating depths, a jeweled veil draping over ones’ warm, nocturnal desert wind kissed skin.

A scented desert dream.

Yo soy un sueño, un imposible,

vano fantasma de niebla y luz;

soy incorpórea, soy intangible;

no puedo amarte.

¡Oh, ven, ven tú!”

“I am a dream, an impossibility, empty phantom of mist and light; I am incorporeal, intangible I am; I cannot love. Oh, come, come you!” -19th Century Spanish poet G.A. Bécquer

Notes: Patchouli, Oud, Amberwood, Cinnamon, Fir Balsam, Black Pepper, Rose, Cashmeran, Tonka Bean, Geranium, Cedar

    The gobi desert vastness, I liked the description of the desert, since I live in the American southwest, this empty spaces speak a lot sometimes and the descriptions say its true, Señor monegal artistry is well known like for example “entre naranjos”
    Las Vegas nv

  • What a beautiful review! I feel transported to the middle of the blazing desert, mysterious and devilish. Stunning interpretation of the fragrance. Brava!

  • redwheelbarrow says:

    Interesting description of the fragrance being bone dry and silky smooth at the same time. I’m loving the notes in this one and sounds dark and luxurious. I also love the scene you have described of the Gobi desert. I’ve yet to try this house and am continually reminded that I should do so soon. Thank for the draw. I’m in the US.

  • I love scents that evoke the desert (Tauer’s LADDM may be my single favorite niche scent). So that drew me to this review. This perfume sounds completely different, but also lovely. I’m in Oklahoma, USA. Thanks, as always, for the draw!

  • joshuabrian says:

    I enjoyed the descriptiveness of the review quite a lot. Thanks for the draw! I’m from Indiana, USA

  • Danu Seith-Fyr says:

    Gorgeous words to invoke the caress of desert winds and uninterrupted skies, wisps of aromatic wood smoke and spent fires carried on opulent breezes. I so loved this voyage, Thank you Neringa. Truly fascinating. I live in SW France.

  • Julesinrose says:

    I enjoyed the entire review! How could I not when Neringa was writing about all my favorite notes and doing so in rather a rapturous way?! ! I will never tired of oud. Saying it could be passé is like saying any other note could be. I don’t have a favorite Ramon Monegal fragrance but I would imagine it would be one of the ouds as I am such a fan of the note. In the US

  • Neringa painted a lovely picture of Ramon Monegal Oud on Fire in this well-written review. I love oud in all its forms, and the combination of rose, geranium, patchouli, cinnamon, cedar, tonka beans with oud ensure that Ramon Monegal Oud on Fire is a heavenly perfume. I have not tried any Ramon Monegal perfumes, yet, but want to, some day. The imagery of travelers on the Silk Road on their long journeys through a dry, hot desert, then coming to rest at a caravanserai, with comforting smells of Oud and herbs and spices and flowers and incense floating by, is so beautiful. I want to try Ramon Monegal Oud on Fire now. Thanks for the review and a generous draw. Writing from the USA.

  • Ramon Monegal’s fragrances are definitely in ky collection. One of my favs is Flamenco. Since I’m a fan of unisex fragrances, Oud on Fire sounds perfect. I adore smokey scents. Thanks for the opportunity to sniff! Mich USA

  • Much more than a review, it’s a realistic but poetic portraial of desert, the feeling of Oud on Fire may heat up our imagination!Thanks from EU

  • Take me to the desert! I am ready to travel far away and experience this lovely scent. Oud, cinnamon, tonka! I’m ready. In Maryland.

  • Andrei Artimon says:

    Realy intriguing review , transports me to the vastenss of the desert all alone . Really love the house , own like 3-4 of they re offerings . Would love to be on the winning end of this one .

    New york , usa .

  • Laurentiu says:

    I have tested a few from the house of Ramon Monegal, and I like how mister Monegal harmoniously manages to combine both natural and synthetic ingredients, and he is among the few in the industry to admit that a certain amount of syntethic ingredients are required in order to have a beautiful and complex composition! Kudos to him for being honest!
    The notes in Oud on Fire are right up my alley! I think this would be an instant love to me.
    Thanks for the draw! I am in the EU.

  • ElenaChiss says:

    Very beautiful put – If Ramon Monegal Oud on Fire was a piece of music, it would be Sting’s Desert Rose. If it were a place, it would be The Gobi Desert. If it were a colour, it would be burnished bronze verging on tarry, charred crimson – as fiery as Dante’s Inferno…

    I did not try this one, but now I wish, after reading this review!

    Thank you very much!
    Europe

  • Lesley Hendrickson says:

    Balsam, Black Pepper, Rose, Geranium, Cedar this sounds so pleasant! My fiancé and o could share this and both be happy!

  • My favorite from this house is Cuirelle, and if there is any resemblance between Cuirelle and Oud On Fire, even the tiniest one, then I am sold, as Cuirelle is one of the most interesting scents I have tested lately, and I think that Ramon Monegal has many hidden gems, not only Cuirelle.
    Thanks for the review, and also for the draw!

  • Beautiful review of an apparently beautiful perfume. As always I love the photography and poetry included….all this plus various artwork and the reviewers words make for such enjoyable reading, inspiring me to try different scents. I love Oudh and spice! Thank you for the chance, I am in the US.

  • Dubaiscents says:

    I feel lucky to have been able to try these three scents in the UAE because they all really are unique takes on Oud. Ocean Oud was maybe a little too difficult for my nose but I loved Oud on Fire and soul of Oud. This review reminded me of how I hope using oud in scents never gets old because there really are so many unique ways to utilize this amazing note. My favorite Ramon Monegal scent is Dubai Next to Me. Thank you for this draw. US

  • The review reminded me of my own travel along the silk road and of the extremely arid streches of land in eestern Uzbekistan. I’loved to try to recreate it via Ramon Monegal perfume as well.
    I’m in EU

  • Neringa described this fragrance in such a captivating, passionate way, with a selection of words and images which truly transported me to a dry, scorching hot desert, full of stories and vibrating with energy.
    Oud on Fire seems to be able to express that perfectly in an olfactory way, combining all these warm-spicy-enveloping notes with oud, an oriental note par excellence.
    My favorite Ramon Monegal fragrance is Flamenco.
    I am in the EU.
    Thanks!

  • I really liked Neringa´s review! Oud is not my favorite note but I understand the fascination about that for centuries when , as she says, evokes “the feeling of opulence, luxury and supreme comfort”. Perfumer Ramon Monegal is a master, very skilled, and seems that the oud in his hands (4 different extraits) brings out all the nuances of its olfactive profile. “Oud on fire” evoke in Neringa The Gobi dessert with opulents waves of rich oud in a dual textural feel, dry and silky. I love the opening : black pepper, rose and geranium that gives the floor to patchouli and oud. I love Flamenco, a saffrony leather and Mon Patchouly where he uses the geranium as he uses again in”Oud on fire”. I live in Spain, EU. Bravo Ramón!

  • Nom de Guerre says:

    From Neringa’s review I’m gettings some LADDM vibes and that’s a good thing 🙂 Thank you for the poetic review. The bottle design has always intrigued me although I don’t yet own any fragrances by Ramon Monegal. Greetings from Riga, Latvia.

  • Christos GX says:

    Great review,i enjoyed a lot the “comparison” with music song, color and with a place.Also,the part of the poem was realy nice pf gustavo becquer.My favorite ramon monegal fragrance is still Flamenco.I live in Greece Eu.

  • Looking at the notes, I have the feeling that Oud On Fire would be perfect to be a signature scent. At least for me and that’s the impression I get after reading the review. Thank you! Europe

  • This sounds very sexy/romantic, luxurious, and pleasurable, like an impossibly luxe desert trip. I haven’t tried any of Ramon Monegal scents, either from his brand or others for which he has “nosed.” (USA)

  • patrick_348 says:

    I liked Neringa’s connecting the scent of Oud on Fire to a culture and a location and the visual imagery associated with them. The description of how the supporting notes complement the dominant oud was precise and engaging. I have read about Ramon Monegal fragrances, but have never experienced one. I live in the US, in North Carolina.

  • This description was beautifully written. Ramon Monegal’s Oud on Fire sounds very well balanced and the bottles are spectacular! Having never tried anything from Ramon Monegal, I would be thrilled to try what seems to be a unique take on oud. I loved hearing about the historical uses of oud. It seems very seductive. Thanks for the picturesque review, Neringa. In the USA.

  • Based on the description and the development of the fragrance along with the notes I believe I would like this offering. I have enjoyed from the house Cherry Musk. US

  • aurora_ru says:

    I enjoyed reading the description of the notes and synergy they are evoquing: “it achieves olfactive synergy releasing a pulsating pungency – brooding and hauntingly beautiful, a rich tapestry of fascinating depths, a jeweled veil draping over ones’ warm, nocturnal desert wind kissed skin.”
    All my favorite notes in one bottle and I always like the scents related with fire. So i would like to take part, thank you!

  • NituNicolae says:

    Just the name “Oud on Fire” gives me chills. Great review, hope i have a chance to try this one! I live in Romania

  • intrigued about the dual texture feel Neringa is talking about, woods, rose and spices – wish I could translate these into smell, in the absence of the fragrance.
    i’m in europe.

  • I appreciate discovering this fragrance. I’ve only heard of fragrance house/perfumer Ramon Monegal; I’d like to try all of his fragrance releases. The list of notes for this one seems very appealing to me. I’ve been becoming more familiar with oud and black pepper in fragrances recently. Neringa’s description of this fragrance causes me to want to own this fragrance. I live in MD., U.S.A.

  • Camelcutza says:

    What an amazing review
    I loved it since the beginning because I adore Sting’s Desert Rose.
    I live in Romania, Europe.

  • wildevoodoo says:

    I have never before had the fortune to try a Ramon Monegal perfume, but the description of this one sounds lovely. I’m intrigued in particular by the concept of the dual texture- a fragrance at once silky smooth and bone dry. I’ve got to get my nose on this. Additionally, I understand why people say oud is somewhat passé since it’s been around for awhile, but in my experience it hasn’t really gone anywhere. I am in the US!

  • A complete review that also came with great information and a little history lesson about oud! I know that Ramon Monegal has some oud offerings in his collection, but I have not tried them. Instead I have tested others with my favorite being Flamenco.

    Thank you!!

  • booknotes says:

    I love the description of the texture— bone dry and silky! This perfume sounds captivating. I live in New York.

  • I’m in USA and enjoy Monegal’s frags a lot. Flamenco is my fave. I want a full bottle. I am a poet and loved being exposed to a Spanish poet that I had never read as well as a perfume I have not tried. Thanks!

  • Fragrance Capital says:

    Gorgeous review to feel the caress of the desert vibe and blue skies, wisps of aromatic wood smoke, and spent fires carried on opulent breezes. Thank you Neringa for your wonderful presentation. I like it very much. I live in Europe.

  • wandering_nose says:

    Thank you, Neringa, for bringing this amazing piece of work that Oud on Fire is, to the wider attention, and presenting it in such a masterful way! I cannot imagine anything about the perfume could possibly be more beautiful: the concept, the bottle, the notes, the imagery evoked by the scent with all the deep-hued, atmospheric colors. All hypnotic, alluring, irresistible – pure feast for the soul and the senses. I do not have a favorite Ramon Monegal scent as of yet and I would love to try Oud on Fire. Based in Ireland, EU

  • GennyLeigh says:

    I like the dry wood vibe of desert scents. The black pepper and cinnamon seems like it would give the woods and resins a nice kick. The rose and geranium give it a brightness and sweetness smoothed out by the cashmeran. Current favorite Ramon Monegal is Impossible Iris. Commenting from MD, USA.

  • I really enjoyed the comparison of this fragrance to the Gobi Desert: it’s inevitably dry but the fine sand is reminiscent of impalpable silk. I would love to see how the rose is combined with the spices, oud, and woody notes. I haven’t had a chance to try the fragrances from this line yet. In the US.

  • Bryant Worley says:

    I loved how Neringa made the fragrance live: “First spray of Ramon Monegal Oud on Fire sweeps you into a sensuous whirlwind of an enchanted and mysterious tale of the scorched winds of Gobi Desert; its vastness, the limitless expanse of star-studded skies and undulating sand dunes, the oasis breeze traversing horizon as subtle tendrils of the finest Cambodian oud smoke cast its calming, mesmerizing spell – whispering the fables untold of its mystique. Rich opulence of oud weaves its way through the layers of the fragrance, like a hazy desert mirage unfolding before your eyes, painted in rich burnished bronze shades; cashmeran tendrils swirling around golden amberwood, cedar trees swaying gently in the warm breeze; suave rose cushions scattered around, lustrous and velvety; their reddening glow inviting the travelers to stop and enjoy a well-deserved rest at Caravanserai after long travels through the Silk Road. A gentle warmth of burninoud chips and curls of exotic cinnamon flavored shisha smoke lingers in the air of an ochre summer night sky, creating sensual and welcoming ambience.” And I can’t wait for those tendrils to envelop me.

    I have not tried any Monegals yet, but besides this one, I want to try Flamenco and La Isla Blanca, etc.

    I live in Waldorf, MD, USA.

  • Ramon Monegal! The house has been on my exploratory list for 2021. After having completely lost the sense of smell at the beginning of April, I was on a fragrance break till the middle of May. Since I have been regaining the ability to perceive the smell in the last couple of weeks, I revisited and rearranged the list, but Monegal stays on the top. My taste for fragrances has always been leaning towards powerful rose and oud fragrances, but the love for the bold combinations has been heightened lately.
    I enjoyed Neringa’s review as a whole. From reading about the historical and religious importance of oud to the vivid description of being catapulted into the mistic, opulent and horizonless scent scape.
    I reside in Slovenia (EU).

  • Martin Ford says:

    I like how passionate and emotional the review/reviewer is.
    It must be a real stunner this fragrance.

    I’m from Italy.

  • Amanda32828 says:

    Another beautiful review by Neringa. The Spanish poem by Becquer is just a fantastic plus, a plus somewhat mysterious, alluring and dark. Now to me the poem and the fragrance are forever intertwined.
    I haven’t had the pleasure of owning anything from Monagal yet, But I know that soon I’ll. Thank you for another great review, commenting from Orlando, Fl.

  • NickKnack says:

    I love how the review covered the texture of this and would love to try. Netringa depicting this as a flowing desert air was excellent and the only other Ramon Monegal I have tried is #laislablanca which was terrific!
    NY USA

  • USA
    Louisiana

    I like how it is described as a polished fragrance with cinnamon, polished rose , geranium, pepper, and earthy patchouli.
    All the in all this sounds like a well rounded rose and Oud fragrance. Definitely like to be the lucky verified reader to win this fragrance. Sounds like a very luxurious fragrance.

    Thanks for opportunity

  • I like how Ramon Monegal Oud on Fire is able to present a dual textural feel, bone dry and silky smooth at once. A perfume of contrasts. Reading the review and knowing that I am a person who enjoys a good oud, I am sure I will enjoy Oud on Fire as well.
    Europe
    Thanks!

  • kramerongo says:

    I enjoyed the review about oud and rose combined , as always put Rose on anything you will get beautyful fragrance. I love to test it. I am in Sweden EU

  • Wow, this one sounds so mesmerizing. Dry yet smooth with a promise of the lusciousness and rewards awaiting at the end of the journey. Neringa did such a good job of conveying the development and promise of this fragrance. I don’t have a favorite Ramon Monegal perfume because I haven’t tried anything from the house yet, but his fragrances look so beautiful. I live in the USA. Thanks for the giveaway!

  • petergigov says:

    Rich , truly opulent, and mysterious , Oud on Fire we need to meet 🙂
    Cherry Musk is my favorite one from the house. Compliments are important to me, and if you’re like me, Cherry Musk will get you noticed , smelling amazing of course.
    Exciting giveaway, USA
    Regards

  • I did not test anything from Ramon Monegal, but it would be a great start to begin with Oud on Fire. This fragrance is hot!
    Thanks!

  • Amr Yahia says:

    Oud is very well-known among the Arabs and has a high resinating smell that bursts, just like water when it splashes on Rocky sea-shores. My personal favorite, EU

  • wallygator88 says:

    Thank you for the beautiful review Neringa!

    What is unique with this fragrance, as your review highlights is the use of Amberwood and Fir Balsam, to create that feeling of vast openness in the blazing landscape of the desert.

    I unfortunately have not smelt any fragrances from this house before.

    Cheers from WI, USA

  • Sting, a poem ancient uses of oud and it was also a wonderful graphics. I agree that oud is really universal now
    Lovely review
    I bought Faisa and it’s great
    USA

  • Mid. February I’ve smelled a few new (to me) Ramon Monegal fragrances , and I have to say Cherry Musk , and Impossible Iris are both impressive.
    Still I prefer Flamenco, jammy sweet , almost gourmand I own, with over 10 hours of lasting power.
    Oud on Fire is very different to the 3 I’ve mentioned, it’s lustrous , woody , smoky and spicy . Colder weather fragrance made well.
    Thanks to Neringa Svobutaite , and Ramon Monegal
    USA

  • Michael Prince says:

    What I enjoyed about Neringa’s review of Ramon Monegal Oud on Fire is learning about the Ramon Monegal Oud line of fragrances using the highest quality fragrances. I liked learning more about Oud and the significance of it to different cultures and religions. I loved the review itself of this sounding like the best Oud Rose combination fragrance on the market. My favorite Ramon Monegal fragrance is Flamenco. I am from Ohio, USA.

  • The whole note list makes me think that Oud on Fire is a really well-done, textbook take on oud. Everything is polished, and from start to finish there is a keen attention given to all the details. I am really curious about this one, also because this house is still an enigma to my nose. Thank you.

    I have never tried anything from Ramon Monegal but I would love to try some of his fragrances. Even more so after reading this beautiful and evocative review…I love deserts, they seem empty and lifeless but if you look well you will find life, the dunes themselves are never still and change continuously, and the nights offer a spectacular view of the stars. I would love to try Ramon Monegal’s Ouds, as it is a very complex and interesting material that never ceases to surprise me! Greetings from Italy

  • Uncle1979 says:

    I don’t know about the Gobi Desert, but Oud on Fire with its incense, black pepper and cedar, is dark artistic fragrance I’ll be happy to wear in the winter.
    I happen to have one Ramon Monegal bottle called Bravo. Smells like a hookah to me , I love it.
    Appreciate Neringa review, and the giveaway campaign
    On my 3-4 weeks long vacation in Spain

  • Bubeto_GG says:

    Oud on Fire hmmmm…
    Muled wine , crackling open fireplace, bouquet of roses , burning incense , and my husband and I enjoying our time alone , is what I’m thinking right now.
    To me the best Ramon Monegal fragrance is Mon Patchouly . Small decant is in my possession , top quality creamy floriental , with incense nuances. Performance is awesome.
    Thanks a lot

  • Interesting new fragragrance from Ramon Mineral and very vivid, great ,descriptive review.
    I enjoyed the most this part of Neringa’s review:”A hypnotic tale woven out of precious woods, spinning around the velvety, sensuous rose floralcy generously flecked with cinnamon and fiery black pepper bite; it achieves olfactive synergy releasing a pulsating pungency – brooding and hauntingly beautiful, a rich tapestry of fascinating depths, a jeweled veil draping over ones’ warm, nocturnal desert wind kissed skin.”
    USA

  • I liked how Neringa’s review evoked the desert in a very sensual way. Oud is a very powerful scent, and using the best raw materials is a must. Ramon Monegal Oud on Fire sounds like a winner. I live in the USA.

  • WaltherP99 says:

    The whole “Don’t Touch My Oud” collection is good, not just Oud on Fire , the latter is eclectic churchy incense. To me it smells very close to how Orthodox church smells during service. Such types of fragrances i were when I want to be alone, for example with some nice book in my hand.
    Ramon Monegal is going forward, a lot of their latest offerings i like a lot. Cherry Musk for years was my favorite one from the house, now it’s not even in my top 5. If I have to rate my favorite Ramon Monegal fragrances:
    1. Flamenco
    2. Olé
    3. Faisa
    Thanks for the opportunity.
    I already follow @cafleurebon @life_through_her_lens @ramonmonegal on Instagram , I also follow @lauramonegal
    USA only , hopefully not for long

  • Oud on Fire is provocative, powerful and almost bohemian. Burnt wood chips , aromatic smoke, patchouli leaves and rose petals, fragrance that warms you from inside.
    One of my favorite fragrances is Impossible Iris – Ramon Monegal. Modern sweet fruity-floral .
    Thanks for the draw
    USA, and Germany from time to time
