About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Farnesiana by Caron, launched in 1947, is a floral fragrance that opens with mimosa, hay, black currant, and bergamot. The top notes are unusual: the hay adds a dry, grassy quality, while black currant brings a tart fruitiness that contrasts with the powdery mimosa. As it settles, the heart reveals violet, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley, a classic floral trio that is both green and softly sweet. The base of vanilla, sandalwood, opoponax, and musk provides a warm, resinous foundation with a powdery finish.

Collectors will appreciate Farnesiana for its prominent powdery character (100% per the main accords), supported by green and yellow floral facets. This is a fragrance that suits those who enjoy vintage-style powdery florals with a hay-like twist. It is best worn in cooler weather or for formal occasions, and will appeal to collectors of mid-century Caron or classic floral perfumes. The interplay of mimosa and hay gives it a distinctive, rural elegance that is both nostalgic and sophisticated.
