The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Ramon Monegal, Next To Me is a complex Oriental Floral fragrance that blends leather and metallic accords with warm spices, oud, and rose. The composition opens with a fresh spicy note that contrasts sharply against the rich, animalic undertones of its base. This juxtaposition creates an intriguing tension between modernity and tradition, making it a scent that feels both familiar and unexpected.
Apply Next To Me sparingly — the metallic and fresh spicy notes are immediate but fleeting. The rich base of amber and animalic accords takes about an hour to fully bloom, so a lighter first pass allows you to enjoy each layer as it unfolds.
