About This Perfume
Caron Farnesiana smells like Powdery violet cream with sweet fruit, vanilla haze. It opens with mimosa, hay and black currant, moves into violet, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley and settles on vanilla, sandalwood and opoponax. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits date nights and nights out. Released in 1947.
Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length.
