The Winner of Mona Di Orio 3.3 oz EDP Les Nombres di Orio Oud Perfume
Les Nombres D’Or Oud is my favorite fragrance of 2011, so far. If you had told me that my favorite fragrance this year would be an oud-based fragrance I would’ve thought it unlikely
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it once again, “It ain’t the ingredient, it’s the artist.” Brava Mona di Orio you are proof positive I am right.

Les Nombres D’Or Oud is my favorite fragrance of 2011, so far 3.3 oz EDP $520 draw!!
