Myrrh Casati is the debut scent in the new Monogram Collection, created by Melanie Leroux, working according to Jeroen Oude Sogtoen ‘based on the fundaments of Maison Mona di Orio… inspired by art, nature and light.’ It was always going to be difficult to follow in Mona’s footsteps. I don’t think this was really ever Jeroen’s intention. The Monogram Collection will be a school of Monaesque intent, scents exploring her trademark elements of scented chiaroscuro. Her work surveyed the shifting and ambiguous patterns between light and dark and how our senses reacted to these subtle changes. Mona used olfactive effects, aromachemistry and a soulful palette of natural materials to illuminate the essence of floral life and beauty.
