Mona di Orio, the author behind an eclectic and quirky collection of individual scents, among which the stellar, intimate Carnation, is launching a new trio of fragrances centered on three emblematic notes: amber, musk and leather. Mona di Orio was inspired by a mathematical concept, the Golden Rule, for her new creations, saying following the rules of proportion was result in a harmonious melody and naming the collection Les Nombres d'Or (Golden Numbers). The notes for the new Les Nombres d' Or Ambre, Musc and Cuir are as follows:
AMBRE – Les Nombres d’Or: Atlas cedar, Comores Ylang ylang concrete, benzoin, Tolu balsam, Madagascar vanilla absolute.
MUSC – Les Nombres d’Or: Neroli, angelica, rose, heliotrope, Tonka bean absolute, musk.
CUIR – Les Nombres d’Or: Cardamom, artemisia, leather, cade oil, opoponax, castoreum.

ReplyDeleteAh, phi. I miss the days when I taught in an environment where I could wear a shirt that read (in symbol) "Phi on Pi"... ;)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if perhaps the variations on Phi are meant to reflect each main element expressed through the Golden Number? Though I admit it does beg the question Fernando poses.
Right, why three "nombres d'or" ? There is only one....or may be Mona di Orio is looking for it !

ReplyDeleteyou got a good point! I believe she wants to show that the application of the golden number could produce infinite artworks of great value? A theory...

Yup, there is some trouble with explaining it. I hope she will tell us more in the near future.
