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.
  
Fragrance  << Mona di Orio - Les Nombres d'Or  <<   Amyitis

Amyitis   The 5th dazzling creation from Mona di Orio is a symphony of delicate green notes evoking the leafy morning freshness of one of the wonders of the Ancient World, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. His queen, Amyitis, being homesick for the green freshness of her mountain home, the Great King of Babylon ordered the construction of towering parterres watered by cool fountains and streams. This story inspired Mona to create her most exquisite scent using crisp oak moss, galbanum, vetiver, jasmine and savory; but behind these leafy notes we catch a glimpse of the scented queen herself, standing in the shade emitting a faint but delicious aura of sweet incense, precious woods and amber.
