Mona di Orio "Les Nombres d'Or" ~Ambre, Musc & Cuir: new fragrances

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.

    Everyone has to release sets these days. But if these are inspired by the golden number, why three of them? There's only one golden number...

  2. Ah, phi. I miss the days when I taught in an environment where I could wear a shirt that read (in symbol) "Phi on Pi"... ;)

    I 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 !

  4. F,

    you 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...

  5. S,

    who can argue with that? I would have missed that opportunity too.

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

  6. Anon,

    I don't know how to interpret this. Only Mona could answer your comment.
