Ramon Monegal Umbra Eau de parfum – A Mysterious Journey into Earthy Sophistication

Step into the shadows with Ramon Monegal Umbra, a deeply evocative unisex parfum that explores the hidden corners of nature and identity. Crafted by master perfumer Ramon Monegal, this fragrance from the Spanish niche house is a celebration of raw elegance—a bold interpretation of vetiver, cloaked in woods, moss, spice, and an air of mystique.

At Scents Angel, we proudly present Umbra to fragrance connoisseurs who crave complexity, depth, and character. It’s not a scent for the faint of heart. Umbra is an olfactory statement, rich with earthiness, dry warmth, and a shadowed sensuality that lingers on the skin long after it’s been applied.

🌿 Scent Profile – Earthy, Smoky, and Intriguingly Complex

Top Notes: Spices, Herbal Accords
Heart Notes: Haitian Vetiver, Cedarwood, Sandalwood
Base Notes: Oakmoss, Amber, Labdanum

Umbra opens with a dark and spicy herbal blend that sets the tone—aromatic, slightly medicinal, and beautifully enigmatic. You’re immediately drawn into its earthy world, where spices like clove and coriander hint at ancient apothecaries and wild landscapes.

At the heart of the fragrance is vetiver—specifically Haitian vetiver, known for its smoky, dry character. It’s skillfully paired with cedarwood and sandalwood, which add both structure and softness. The result is a stunning interplay between sharp, smoky edges and warm, creamy undertones.

The base deepens the mystery even further with oakmoss, labdanum, and amber. This trio brings richness and longevity to the fragrance, wrapping the skin in a sultry, grounded trail that feels both rooted and elevated. The oakmoss gives it a forest-like quality, while labdanum and amber offer resinous warmth and sophistication.

🖤 Inspiration – Embracing the Power of Shadows

“Umbra” means “shadow” in Latin—a perfect name for a fragrance that’s not about bright florals or light-hearted citrus, but about the depths of the soul, the mysteries of the forest, and the allure of the unknown.

Ramon Monegal has crafted this scent for those who embrace the subtle power of introspection, earth connection, and quiet confidence. Umbra is moody in the best way—it draws people in, invites curiosity, and leaves a memorable impression. It’s introspective and grounding, yet undeniably sophisticated.

🎯 Ideal For:

• Unisex scent lovers who enjoy earthy, smoky vetiver

• Fall and winter wear, or cool evenings in spring

• Evening occasions, intimate settings, or contemplative moments

• Anyone drawn to complex, non-mainstream fragrances

Umbra suits both men and women equally, yet it doesn’t shy away from character. It pairs beautifully with layers, leather jackets, or tailored wool suits, but it’s also deeply at home with quiet, casual elegance.

This scent is for individuals who appreciate understated boldness, who don’t need their fragrance to shout to be noticed. It’s about mood, mystery, and mastery.

⏳ Longevity, Sillage & Performance

• Longevity: 8–10 hours – The vetiver and mossy base give this scent impressive staying power

• Sillage: Moderate to strong – Creates an alluring trail that doesn't overpower but definitely lingers

• Projection: Moderate – Close enough to be intimate, strong enough to make an impression

Umbra performs beautifully, especially in cooler weather. It clings to fabric and skin in a way that feels sensual and lasting, developing slowly and revealing new facets throughout the day or evening.

🎁 Packaging & Presentation

True to the Ramon Monegal aesthetic, Umbra comes in the brand’s signature inkwell-inspired bottle, symbolizing both storytelling and craftsmanship. The cylindrical design, rich black and gold detailing, and magnetic cap give it a luxurious, timeless look that reflects the sophistication of the scent inside.

The outer case is both protective and elegant—perfect for collectors or gifting to someone who appreciates artisan perfumery.
