by Mona di Orio
Musc by Mona di Orio is a delicate, soft musk with a powdery, floral, and slightly gourmand character. It opens with a whisper of neroli and heliotrope, evoking a clean, sweet, and subtly feminine aura—often described as reminiscent of fine baby powder, delicate rose, and a smooth tonka bean base. The scent unfolds gently, with a smooth, warm dry down that lingers lightly on the skin. The musk is not animalic or strong; instead, it's a refined, balanced accord that feels polished and restrained, with a subtle almondy sweetness and a soft, soapy quality. It carries a quiet elegance, ideal for casual or formal daytime wear, particularly in spring and autumn. While projections are moderate to intimate, longevity varies—some experience it lasting several hours, while others note it fades quickly, often leaving a faint, soft trail. Its restrained character makes it universally approachable, suitable for those seeking a quietly elegant and understated fragrance that won't overwhelm or stand out too much.
