Farnesiana
feminine
Created by Michel Morsetti
Farnesiana by Caron is a Floral fragrance for women. Farnesiana was launched in 1947. The nose behind this fragrance is Michel Morsetti. Top notes are Mimosa, Hay, Black Currant and Bergamot; middle notes are Violet, Jasmine and Lily-of-the-Valley; base notes are Vanilla, Sandalwood, Opoponax and Musk. Though mimosa is highly appreciated by florists for its fresh cheerful touch, very few perfumers- except Caron’s- have ever dared to take the risk of building a perfume around it. Overwhelming shades of sweet mimosa, floral and fruity blackcurrant.
