Fruity and citrusy balsamic scent
Next to me is a very good fragance. It is true that this is something that i have smelt before, but in parts, although i think the whole fragance is original. The opening remember me to fragances like habit Rouge by Germain and the dry down is more like Eva Kant by o'driu. The smell is intense but is not intrusiva at all so i think that this is really and incredibly versatile. It has a fruity vibe, with some freshness, with the coconut, the Peach, the melón and some citrus notes i think. Then comes a soft rose over balsámic notes like incense and labdanum, with a very subtle oud and leather back. Good for everyday use or even for night time and totally unisex

Next destination Dubai
Now Next to me has moved in next to my other fragrances

I have tested here extensively with a small accident.

When filling a share, I have through circumstances that I do not necessarily want to explain, about 5 ml about thigh and wrist tilted.

I don't know what to say, it's a bummer up to the knees.

But
the scent is really unobtrusive even in large quantities
It's all very gently interwoven.

Complexity through the head-heart-base chords
Scent course is varied. Starts with a fruity opening.
I think I can really perceive the melon with a hint of coconut

After approx. 1h the silage turns into a very delicate cloud. Like after a sandstorm the oud base remains pleasantly directional

Everything becomes a noble rose cream powder of cashmeran and tonka

I think even at 40 degrees in the desert state the scent can be worn without becoming heavy

The whole thing will certainly work even with a few splashes

The only fragrance you'll ever need!!!!
A couple of months ago, I purchased my first Monegal fragrance, "Impossible Iris", which i still consider a great scent. Constantly searching through fragrantica and parfumo.com, i stumbled upon an article that mentioned the new release of a Monegal fragrance, which was "Dubai Next to me". When i first saw the note breakdown, i was instantly convinced that i must own this fragrance. Unfortunately, the only possible way was to get it from Dubai.
I called the sales associate at department stores and boutiques with no help. Finally i was in contact with a friend who travels to Dubai and had asked them when they were coming back to the States. The individual told me April 10th. I explained to him my dilemma with the fragrance, and long and behold, i probably own one if not the only bottle in the States. After 2 months, the day finally came... And gents, this fragrance is beyond description.. It is Unbelievable.. Right off the bat you can smell the peach and the coconut, and the dry down continues with the same notes and some leather and oud.. To die for.....

Next to Me could be my signature scent, such is the quality and versatility. But what I have to highlight is the elegance of this perfume.

A gently leathery, yet rather smooth and creamy/sweet oriental spicy-woody Spring fragrance, balanced by an uplifting spicy-fruity opening.

Citrus-fruity balsámic fragance over a balsámic back mixed with a subtle oud/leather mixture. It has also a delicate flowery vibe. Versatile

Brings many different nuances (floral-fruity, fine-smoky, slightly oudy, sweet etc.) harmonically together. A beautiful Monegal!

It is oudy-fruity-smokey-floral. There is a sweetness in it that makes it unisex but i believe its better for men. Very beautiful scent.
