Ramon Monegal Dry Wood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Ramón Monegal. Dry Wood settles into a heart of Citron, Woody Notes, Amber, and Cedar. Ramon Monegal's Dry Wood carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Dry Wood is a fiercely divisive beast; you'll either find it a bold, sophisticated statement or an unwearable assault on your senses. It's an unapologetic, hyper-masculine woody aromatic that commands attention, for better or worse.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Formal

Its potent projection and extreme longevity make it a difficult wear for casual or office settings, where it could easily overwhelm. However, its strong, formal character lends itself well to formal occasions or a powerful statement date, provided the wearer embraces its intensity.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bay laurel Laurus Nobilis Leaf Oil from Bay Leaf
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a sharp, almost biting citron, swiftly followed by a robust herbaceous blend of bay leaf and thyme, grounded by a powerful pepper kick. The heart reveals a dense, dry woody core of cedar and sandalwood, softened slightly by cashmeran, before settling into a tenacious base of oakmoss and warm amber. This is not a gentle stroll through the woods, but a purposeful stride through ancient timber.
