Flamenco by Ramon Monegal is a bold, unapologetic fruity rose fragrance that opens with a vibrant, sweetly tart burst of raspberry, apple, and violet. The intensity is immediate and pronounced, with a synthetic edge that some describe as nail polish-like or similar to a children's cough syrup—sharp and loud but not offensive to all. Over time, it develops into a rich, jammy rose that is simultaneously sweet and earthy, stabilized by a woody base of cedar, cypress, and pine. The dry-down reveals a powdery, slightly medicinal quality that lingers, with deep amber and musk giving it a quiet sophistication. While the sillage is strong and the longevity unusually long—lasting up to 12 hours on skin—its projection can be overwhelming for the sensitive. Though described as unisex, the perfume leans femininely strong in its character, making it particularly appealing to women or those who enjoy elevated, wearable sweetness without minimal restraint.
