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  <<   Jabu

Jabu   (Meaning 'Joy' in the kalanga dialect of Swaziland)
Mona has created this scent as a joyful remembrance of the ORANGEBABIES, the Dutch charity which supports mothers and children with HIV.

Mona's vibrant new scent is a joyful, vivid, vibrant salute to the balmy winds and flowers of Africa. It tells a tale of distant lands, exotic travel, promise and excitement - soft as the southern wind.

The warm intoxicating scent of ylang ylang enhanced with bitter orange and orange flowers melts into a heart of santal amyris and damask rose. The fragrant, gourmand base incorporated plum, myrrh, benzoin and honey. Like Livingstone, Mona's heart plainly lies in Africa. 		Jabu
