"Not long ago, a perfume connoisseur threw down a gauntlet to me. He asked, 'Why don't you combine two of your favorite scents, woods and flowers, to create a new and original fragrance?' I accepted the challenge. I chose the rose, the most mythical flower in the history of perfumery, and imagined its tenderness and romanticism combined with the strength and solemnity of oud to compose a unique hand-in-hand fragrance." - Ramon Monegal
