Umbra, launched by Ramon Monegal in 2010, is an Oriental Woody fragrance that blurs the lines between aromatic freshness and warm spiciness. The composition opens with a bright, fresh-spicy accord before transitioning into a rich blend of woody and mossy notes. This fragrance is anchored by conifer and vanilla, creating a complex interplay of earthy warmth and subtle sweetness. It's neither overtly sweet nor aggressively spicy, making it an intriguing choice for those who appreciate nuanced olfactory experiences.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to capture both the fresh-spicy opening and the warm woody base. This fragrance builds gradually, so it's best worn in layers for a more pronounced effect. It pairs well with cooler weather but can be enjoyed year-round due to its balanced notes.
