Duchessa di Parma Profumo alla Violetta

The violet: symbol of Parma. Duchess Maria Luigia intensely loved this flower because of its color and its intense scent. She personally dedicated herself to its cultivation and helped the friars create a perfume that perfectly reproduced that of violet. After using it for personal use, she released the secret formula for production to a wider audience. It is said that in some letters a painted violet replaced her signature, and that she wanted the uniforms of his valets, the clothes of the courtiers and her own cloaks to be purple. A fragrance that celebrates this creamy, clean and soft flower, with the addition of a velvety and delicate rose, creating something extremely feminine, elegant and simple, with pleasantly vintage scents. Because beauty lies in simplicity. Excellent performance, always usable. “Portrait of Maria Luigia, Duchess of Parma” painted by Giovanni Battista Callegari.
