SCENT AVAILABLE ON ORDER
The Lux fragrance is a study of light created by Mona from the most precious ingredients to reflect the intimate mood of a secret passion. It develops harmoniously in the iconic style of light and shadow, so characteristic of this perfumer. Its bright, slightly turbulent beginning gradually warms up and gives way to the captivating sweetness of sensual notes that tightly envelop the skin.
The radiant notes of Sicilian lemon are like champagne bubbles: they rise to the surface with the citrus sweetness of Litsea cubeba and bitter orange petitgrain oil. The joyful top notes descend towards the citrusy-earthy vetiver and transform into a woody, creamy softness. The mythical sandalwood tree from Mysore and spicy cedarwood leave their sensual traces for a long time.
Sicilian lemon, litsea cubeba, bitter orange, Haitian vetiver, cedar wood, sandalwood, musk, amber, Siamese benzoin, Bourbon vanilla.

About the brand Mona di Orio
"One of the most important features of the compositions I create is light. I love playing with scents, just like a painter plays with light and shadow. The top notes are bright and full of radiance, the heart notes are full of reflections, and the base notes are embedded in darkness." - that's how Mona di Orio talked about her philosophy of creating perfumery masterpieces. Her work and thinking about scents were undoubtedly influenced by her classical education, erudition, and over fifteen years of experience with one of the greatest authorities in perfumery, Edmund Roudnitski.
These are scents that cannot be forgotten, let alone imitated or replaced. They are unique, multi-threaded, and full of depth. They show humility towards the raw material and the sense of smell, true passion, and something incredibly rare and difficult to name - perhaps that's why they are so moving.
Mona di Orio passed away suddenly in 2011. Her work is continued by Jeroen Oude Sogtoen.
