Mona di Orio on latest Les Nombres d'Or scents, and her older collection | News from Pitti Fragranze

Mona di Orio is showcasing the continuation of her Les Nombres dOr collection. - Mona didnt want to do a straight vanilla, so hers tells the story of the travels to Madagascar to obtain the vanilla - guaiacwood is used to represent the wood of the boat, and the fragrance packs a hit of rum to represent what may have been consumed on the journey.

Likewise with her oud, she wanted to avoid adding rose, and went for osmanthus instead. Mona and her business partner Jeroen also gave Basenotes a sneak peek of what may be next in the range, but thats under wraps for now. Her original collection (Carnation, Nuit Noire et al) is being rested while they concentrate on the Les Nombres dOr range, but she insists they will be back with maybe a different presentation.
