What devastating news. Mona di Orio was such a talented, beautiful woman and too young to die!
I'm so saddened by this loss to perfume community and to those close to her.

Still in shock here. She was my favorite perfumer. It is so hard to use the term "was" in that sentence. Just a complete and total world loss of such a wonderful woman with a true gift. So very, very sad. :-(

OMG, such a tragedy. I was just about to start sampling her stuff. I guess the best way we can remember her, is to remember the wonderful perfumes she has created. R.I.P.

Just watched an interview with her on you tube, what a vital creative woman, in it she said she had so many more fragrances to create yet and she looked forward to being an 'old lady' with lots of perfume creations and also to sharing her knowledge with others. Very very sad to lose her.
