Ramon Monegal Next To Me is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Next To Me opens with Bergamot, Labdanum, Melon, and Plum, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Pepper, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, Oud, and Tonka Bean. Ramon Monegal's Next To Me carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper head-turner, but definitely sample it first. People are all over the shop with the notes, but everyone agrees it's a bold, rich scent. Some love the opulent leather and oud, others find it just too much.

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.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Next to Me plunges you into a rich, spicy leather heart, immediately commanding attention. There's a warm, almost animalic depth from the saffron and oud, intertwined with a subtle rose that prevents it from becoming too harsh. Underlying everything is a hint of sweetness and a lingering amber warmth that wraps you in a luxurious, sensual embrace.
