Perfumed Dance

Do I forsake Kiss My Name by buying its more sedate cousin, Monbloom? Not in the least. Kiss My Name remains my favorite of the Monegals. It is almost in the category of a white floral drug.

Monbloom, OTOH, said to be inspired by a dancer's sensual and exotic movements, is a limited edition carnal beauty. Its brochure says it is made of Kamataka Tuberose, Sevillan Neroli, Morroco Jasmine, Chinese Osthmanthus, Comores Ylang-ylang, Indian oud, Indonesian Patchouli, Spanish cistus and American cedarwood.

Overlooking the minor fact that one of those stings my eyes a bit, the result is admirable. Cistus labdanum is strong and luxurious, as is the cedar. They become prominent during the drydown. The upshot is a strongly woody white floral, osthmanthus adding openness. It actually does bring to mind the perfumed sweat of a dancer.

After a while, though, the cistus starts bothering my eyes and nose. Not terribly, just noticeably. It may not bother yours at all, so if the notes appeal give this one a try.

I bought it at Neiman's which apparently has a thing now where the first perfume sales clerk can kidnap you and escort you to other counters. Must get out of that next time because I love one-on-one interactions with the sales clerks. My guess is, the Monegal guy didn't like losing all or part of his commission.

A balancing act between beautiful and damn good

The hall is dark, the red velvet curtain rests heavily on the stage, the lights are dimmed, the excited hum of many voices fills the room. But now... the lights go out, dramatic pause, a spotlight comes on! The hall goes quiet, not even a whisper, at most an excited, sharp intake of breath. The glistening white light of the spotlight cuts through the dense darkness and illuminates the soprano of the evening. There she stands, all in white, her dress in a simple cut, but made of wonderfully heavy, dense fabric, almost like marble, the beautiful, heavy dress falls and reflects the light right up to the front row.

A natural, fleshy tuberose, opulent in its authenticity and in no way synthetic.
Nothing "screeches" here, no chewing gum, rather the big and sublimely quiet sister of Lutens' Tubéreuse criminelle. Not a narcotic, not the great seduction (not that I don't like that, I also like the dramatic, diva-like appearance of tuberose). Here, the tuberose is almost buttery and rich at the beginning. Soon it is no longer alone, but still in the foreground. Like a rich bass that floods the room after the first bright chords. Patchouli and oud also flood the stage. The tuberose voice sounds radiantly bright, yet rich, the double bass of the wonderfully dirty-earthy (briefly charmingly stalky) patchouli oud fills the room and balances the tuberose.
Singing and radiant, it wanders over the velvety-black, all-light-consuming labdanum carpet, while the incense stage mist provides the dramatic moments. The solo becomes a duet: osmanthus later provides the light sweetness, an almost fruity-bright apricot note resonates, and the osmanthus even takes on its own parts at times.

The background singers jasmine (surprisingly close to the authentic night-blooming jasmine) and orange blossom fill the scene in a steady and restrained manner.
A wonderful balancing act of the deepest and darkest heaviness and a bright, radiant lightness. Oud, patchouli and labdanum fill the room, tuberose, osmanthus and white blossom radiate, bright incense unites them and prevents the whole thing from wandering into the cuddly, resinous cowshed or soaring into diva-like white blossom heaven. Now and again, fruity notes flash up like a teasing triangle and then disappear again.

Perfectly blended, great gradient. It will always work, both in oppressive heat (in which I am currently testing it extensively) and in fall and winter, when white bloomers need a warming base to prevent them from fizzling out in an instant. Not masculine, not feminine, so perfect for everyone. Glisteningly bright and wonderfully dirty at the same time. Can be worn sparingly in the office, as the sillage is not overwhelming despite its sporty longevity. Generously traced, perfect for an effective appearance. Rarely have I smelled such a beautifully balanced fragrance.
