Oiro by Mona di Orio

*****
Year: 2007

Notes: tangerine, spices, sweet pea, ylang-ylang, jasmine, heliotrope, frankincense, Atlas cedar, vetiver, immortelle, amber, musk

Comment: Oiro is part of the Signature Collection

Oiro is both a luxurious and opulent floral-oriental, based on the golden age of perfumery. It's dense, intensely aldehydic and doesn't pussyfoot around, with an indolic jasmine accord that isn't as sickeningly vicious as Nuit Noire's skanky demeanour (but almost comes close).

Yet that acute and nauseating signature wax note still prevails, as the composition descends into a soapy floral and animalic mess. With very good projection, one couldn't scrub off this abomination fast enough.
