Kiss My Name
by Ramon Monegal
Kiss My Name by Ramon Monegal is a richly layered white floral that centers on tuberose, jasmine, neroli, and iris, creating a lush, opulent character that many describe as exuberant, elegant, and classically feminine. The opening features a bright, greenish tuberose with a metallic freshness, balanced by subtle citrusy-nectar notes and a delicate balsamic warmth from tolu balsam. The heart unfolds with a harmonious floral bouquet, where tuberose and jasmine dominate with a naturalistic authenticity, while iris adds a powdery, dry elegance. In the dry-down, the fragrance softens into a sweet, musky, and slightly woody base with a powdery, ambery complexity that lingers beautifully. While some find it elongated and linear, others appreciate its strong presence and lasting freshness. The perfume performs exceptionally well in cool weather and makes a bold, memorable impression even with minimal application. Its sillage is substantial, often described as surprisingly strong for an EDP, and lasts through the night with a layered, nuanced character that evolves subtly wearing it.
