Ramon Monegal Soul Of Oud is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Ramón Monegal. Soul Of Oud opens with Dark Chocolate, Nutmeg, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Cedar, Oud, and Birch, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Vetiver. Ramon Monegal's Soul Of Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Soul of Oud is a divisive beast: some rave about its smooth, sweet oud and chocolate; others are left underwhelmed by a perceived lack of authentic oud. Many find the retail price a rip-off, but at a discount, it's a solid, wearable 'Western oud' contender.

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.

About

Opens with a rich, woody blast of oud, quickly softened by a surprising hint of dark chocolate and the fruity apricot nuances of osmanthus. As it settles, rose and birch add a touch of sophistication, leading to a smooth, earthy dry-down of amber, musk, and vetiver. It’s a complex journey from bold wood to a sweet, lingering warmth.
