Warm, rich, exotic, intense, spicy dramatic notes, often based on amber, vanilla, incense with florid floral top notes. Fresh, floral, sometimes herbal/mossy scents dominated by leafy, grassy, crisp notes. Lemon, bergamot, neroli, petitgrain, tangerine, grapefruit, cedar, syringe and lime. Reviving and refreshing. Rich, dark, smoky, deep, spicy notes usually intensified or contrasted with green, floral or animalic oils. Bouquets of flowers - tuberose, roses, lily, jasmine, lilac, muguet, ylang-ylang, violets, orange blossom etc. Fresh, sweet, feminine. Mostly florals and greens enlivened with notes of soft sweet fruits - peach, apricot, plum, pineapple, prune, and raspberry. Literally "from Cyprus". Longlasting, warm, mossy, soft dark scents. Very sophisticated, urban, couture and elegant. Usually chypres feature sharp, green top notes which soften to bases of oakmoss, amber, leather, vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood. Full-bodied, green, dark, aromatic notes of cedar, sandal, juniper, birchwood, rosewood, ebony, patchouli, oak-moss, lavender, clary sage. Entirely synthetic and quirky modern sub-group which uses a variety of chemicals (e.g. calene) to  introduce a suggestion of the sea, lakes, rivers and streams to the top and middle notes of a perfume. As innovative and ingenious as the introduction of aldehydes in the early 1920's.

Mona di Orio  

Mona di Orio is a classically trained perfumer, having had the great honour, as a young girl, of working alongside the famous Edmond Roudnitska.

Of French/Italian descent and blessed with extraordinary physical beauty. Mona uses all the good things in life as inspiration for her first collection of six fragrances which in their richness, complexity and originality recall the glories of the golden age of perfumery in the 1920's and 30's.

Fascinated by the realm of the senses in all of its glorious richness, the packaging of Mona's perfumes delights the eye.
As a wine connoisseur, she has sealed her bottles with a gilded champagne muselet on the handcrafted caps from the champagne House of Jacquesson.
The boxes are works of art in themselves - birchwood caskets panelled like the walls of the Dubarry's appartment at Versailles in white and pearl gray.
