Ramon Monegal Faïsa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Ramón Monegal. Faïsa opens with Anise, Lemon, Ylang-Ylang, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Ramon Monegal's Faïsa carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Faïsa by Ramon Monegal is a divisive beast: some rave about its opulent, smooth saffron-oud, while others recoil from its abrasive, synthetic punch. This isn't a safe blind buy; sample it first if you dare.

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.

Given its strong projection and exceptional longevity, Faïsa is definitely not for the office. It's perfectly suited for dates and formal events where its luxurious, bold presence can shine, but might be too much for casual daytime wear.

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.

About

Faïsa opens with a bold, leathery punch of saffron and ylang-ylang, spiced up with a hint of cinnamon and a surprising citrus zest. Beneath this assertive start, a rich, balsamic oud emerges, intertwined with warm, sugary caramel and vanilla. The dry down settles into a creamy yet intense amber and sandalwood, maintaining a persistent, sweet depth that lingers for ages.
