Even though created in 1947, Farnesiana still remains without many parallels on the market. For while the mimosa may be 
highly prized among florists for the fresh and happy touches it brings to the most simple bouquet, only few noses have risked making it into a perfume.

To recreate its duvet-like qualities, Michel Morsetti, who took over and drew from the notes of Ernest Daltroff after his death in 1941, made use of an astonishingly modern smell: sweet acacia, a lesser-known variety of mimosa.

Knowledgeably combined with the latter, it brings an almost gustatory sweetness to the fragrance.

Sweet acacia or “Acaciosa Fanesiana”, to give it its Latin name, also inspired the name of this perfume by evoking Rome’s Farnese Palace and the art of sweet, refined, Mediterranean living.
