<p>Siesta is a unisex eau de parfum by Ramon Monegal, part of the maison's Spanish Collection, the line through which nose Ramón Monegal Maso pays tribute to the places and moments that define Spanish culture. Here the theme is the Mediterranean afternoon rest: an ode to sensory freedom, both luminous and enveloping at once.</p>
<h2>The Fragrance</h2>
<p>Siesta captures the idea of "dolce far niente": that suspended moment, in the hottest hours of the day, when time slows down and the senses unwind. It isn't a fragrance that shouts its presence, but one that reveals itself slowly, with the same ease as a Spanish afternoon spent in the shade.</p>
<h2>How It Evolves on Skin</h2>
<p>Siesta opens with an accord that is citrusy and sweet at once: cedar and lemon bring the first breath of freshness, quickly softened by honey, which already sets a warmer, more enveloping direction than a classic citrus opening. In the heart the fragrance becomes more composed and luminous, with jasmine and iris intertwining in an elegant floral accord, supported by vetiver, which adds earthy depth without weighing it down. The base is where Siesta reveals its most enveloping character: tonka bean and vanilla build a soft, gourmand foundation, while leather — a nuance found in the base alongside musk — brings a drier, more sensual contrast, keeping the sweetness from ever becoming cloying.</p>
<h2>Who We Recommend Siesta To</h2>
<p>Siesta is perfect for anyone looking for a unisex fragrance that is fresh and enveloping at the same time, suited to everyday wear as well as more curated occasions. Its notable trail and long-lasting persistence make it an ideal choice for those who like to be noticed without overdoing it, in any season of the year.</p>

<h2>Our Opinion</h2>
<p>Siesta is one of those fragrances that surprises with how well it holds up: those trying it for the first time often expect a light citrus scent and instead find themselves with a fragrance that lasts all day and leaves a trail that gets noticed. It's proof that a simple concept like "an afternoon of relaxation" can turn into something far from predictable.</p>
