A scent that rewards patience and close attention.
Pafory Advent Calendar 2025 – Day 23

First impression: wow. This is very good. Bold, expressive, instantly skin-grabbing. Also worth saying upfront - the Fragrantica note breakdown doesn’t match either the brand info or what my nose is getting.

Officially, it opens with rosewood, incense, and cumin. On first contact, though, I get something unexpected: a fleeting floral softness, almost tropical, with a hint of coconut and ghostly blossoms that appear and disappear within minutes. Very quickly, the scent clarifies. On skin, it becomes cumin-forward - warm, human - threaded through smooth, polished rosewood, with incense hovering quietly rather than announcing itself. Interestingly, in the air around me, it reads powdery, softly sweet, and floral. On my wrist? Dry spice and wood. Intimate and polished.

The heart is beautifully handled. Jasmine, magnolia, and rose come together effortlessly. The rose isn’t loud or dated - no “old rose” here - but smooth, almost gourmand-leaning, cushioned by powdery magnolia and luminous jasmine. Refined, modern, and effortlessly wearable. A softness you choose to reveal.

The base settles into creamy sandalwood and coconut wrapped in clean musk. Skin-like, comforting, quietly sensual. And despite what some suggest, there’s no leather here for me. Just warmth, creaminess, and the trace of something once close.

Confident. Tactile. Intimate. A scent that rewards patience and close attention.

A despicable tribute to barbarism
An obnoxious tribute to the worst aspect of the Spanish culture: bullfighting. If you ask the brand why they did this homage to such a cruel act, they will try to convince you that you are getting the metaphor wrong, as it's just "a tribute to brave and seductive people".

If you don't get fooled by them, and you take a look at the marketing around the perfume and the imagery, you'll find that indeed this is an obvious tribute to the worst kind of barbarism that most of us Spaniards are ashamed of.

Yeah, bullfighting is condemned by most of the Spanish society. There's no politics here, but it's only a matter of empathy, civic spirit, and not being a complete psychopath against innocent living beings.

As per the perfume itself, another inspiration of Oud Maracujá that is overhyped by the typical Youtube and Instragram influencers. Another bomb of this leathery molecule that can be found already in the base of other well-known and successful perfumes like Ombre Nomade or Oud Maracujá, combined with a fruity note, in this case a somehow odd pear/apple accord.

So, it is not only an awful reference but neither offers anything new to the overcrowded “leatherbomb+fruit” panorama that we already have.

Definitely, Monegal has lost a lot of clients with this release. In my case, I removed every scent from my wishlist, and I'll not spend any Euro on their brand. Olé, Siesta, Flamenco, and other dumb Spanish clichés were OK, I guess, but this has gone too far.

If you don’t care and you like scents like the ones mentioned, I guess you can have it a try.

Don't be scared by the rating.
It's not amazing perfume, but it's not bad.
On my skin, it's too floral, too much unisex.
Solid performance.

Completely terrible synthetic. It makes me feel really nauseous. Also definitely feminine. It has no place in a men's Advent calendar.

Synthetic, piercing, sweet, creamy, floral, leather, spicy, coconut, rosewood. Reminds my girlfriend of lice shampoo. Nasty and brutal H/S.

It's okay - very feminine. Not an unisex scent.

Leather-fruity opening, then it gets sweeter and unfortunately drifts into insignificance. H/S meh.

I immediately thought of Bianci. Flowers encased in wax (the sweetness lasts only briefly) then it gets dirty, animalistic... in an intimate way.

Synthetic sweet pear with kids' gum. Not bad but also not good.

Unpleasantly synthetic fruity scent.
Gets better over time.
More on the feminine side.
