Mon Égal

I just received this today from Jovoy (after a small snag in US customs). This was totally a blind buy and felt safe because I have several frags from Ramon Monegal that I enjoy. First impression is a blast of fig & coconut, I can smell the sandalwood that is pretty creamy a hint of osmanthus and musk, then a very detectable vanilla. I guess there are red berries and sugar but I can't detect it or any oud. For a blind buy, I am happy with the purchase :)

I'm of the opinion that most of the people who rated this fragrance haven't actually tried it. Most of the things it's compared to are nonsensical. Some clowns just put whatever fig fragrances they knew about et voila, it's like that. It absolutely is a creamy fig with red berries in the opening, then goes vanilla woodsy.

One of my favorite Fruiti and most beautiful scent i’m crazy of it for sweet fruit lovers

This fragrance' sillage is not intimate at all. It's a powerful fragrance (it's been 2 hours since I sprayed it, so I'll update my comment later). It's very sweet and fruity. The fig note is overshadowed by the rest of the fruits. The coconut, and sandalwood are present pretty much all the time, and the vanilla and sugar notes show up very quickly. The moment I felt the fig note the most was at the opening, and I liked the fact that the fig was a little green compared to the red berries. The fragrance turns creamy very quickly as well, with some woody undertones. People who rated this as weak and intimate haven't tried the fragrance yet. Edit: After the 2 hours the sillage becomes more intimate, but since it is strong for 2 hours, I'll rate is as strong sillage. The longevity is definitely moderate, but it stays way longer on your clothes. No oud at all, and the sugary vanilla (as in Bianco Latte) is what is left along with the musk in the last hours.

I tried this today and its an interesting scent. Its great sillage but its too coconuty for me that leans to feminine scent. Not a bad scent but not for me.
