Lux
Mona di Orio · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2004
≈ $195 · 100ml · approx. retail
One of the house's three launch fragrances, conceived as Mona di Orio's personal study on light rather than luxury (the name means 'light'). Bright Sicilian lemon and petitgrain sit over a warm, vanillic amber base of benzoin and musk, in her signature layered 'chiaroscuro' construction.
