Description Luscious and radiant, Monserrat blends juicy grapefruit, apricot, and green leaves with an unusual, fresh setting plaster note. It features the earthy notes of carrot seed essential oil and a dash of osmanthus absolute, a flower often used to scent oolong tea.
"Monserrat was the second perfume I ever showed in a gallery. I wanted to revisit the fruity-floral, but in a grown-up way, without any fruit punch or candy notes. I showed it alongside paintings with soft, sun-faded colors. I was inspired by Italian fresco paintings (murals painted directly into wet, setting plaster). The fragrance is named for a paint color with a soft apricot/orange quality. The fragrance uses osmanthus absolute, which has a delightful apricot note but also a very earthy/funky undertone, so it needs to be dosed carefully. That subtle earthiness grounds the fragrance and makes it feel real and human." - Bruno Fazzolari

Kevin ★★★★★

This osmanthus note is beautifully done--not too fruity or syrupy, just a soft, suede-like floral that lasts all day on my skin. The pink grapefruit gives it a nice burst of freshness that keeps it from feeling heavy.

David K. ★★★★★

The green leaves and carrot seed give this a surprisingly earthy opening before the jasmine softens it—feels more like a greenhouse after rain than a typical floral. It lasts about six hours on my skin, which is decent, though I wish the plaster note came through a bit more.

Lily ★★★★★

The pink grapefruit and osmanthus combination is so unique and bright, it feels both fresh and floral without being cloying. I've been wearing it daily and getting compliments on the soft, slightly dusty dry-down from the plaster note.
