    This smells lovely, but even when I lightly apply it I get a headache. After a couple of aspirin I can understand how this is considered a most comforting scents. Soft, sweet, powdery almonds. It...

    I don't normally think "gourmand" when I think Caron, but after a few moments of the fleshiness of cassie flower, it goes straight to almondy dough. Like it a lot, but there are cheaper versions...

    This is funny that a perfume based on Mimosa can be all about Almonds! I just love it. It yummy yet not too sweet or gourmand in a traditional and boring way. It has a fresh aspect that allows you...

    Farnesiana is the cream of the crop in the world of mimosa soliflores. It is tastefully decadent, like a buttery almond pastry flavoured with flower essences, Farnesiana is more gourmand than...

    What a Caron! Sophisticated and elegant. The best part is the long drydown! Sweet, soft, almondy powder. It's a more mature, classy version of Keiko Mercheri Loukoum. Farnesiana is must less...

    Farnesiana is the scent equivalent of rose tinted glasses: everything feels good, the world is full of pleasurable things to savour and you are a golden princess endowed with the magic touch. Think...

    Farnesiana is not at all what I'd expected. Judging from reviews, I tore open my package, firmly believing I'd find an uber gourmand scent - just one more sophisticated, grown up, and ladylike;...

    If a hug could be bottled, it would be called Farnesiana. A perfectly blended gentle scent. No sharp or discernible notes. It is motherly. It is warm. I can't describe the notes...it's just a soft,...

    This really is the business! Farnesiana is the most beautiful warm, rich, sophisticated perfume - it's a gourmand, but a "grown-up" one! The violet note doesn't last long on me and leads to a...

    This is a superb bitter almond-iris-violet blend, a bit sharp in the beginning, but settling into powdery softness. It's a gorgeous, sophisticated, modern gourmand blend that should please most...

    This review is for the parfum. The start is powdery violets (or some other flower that I’m not really digging) and black tea – the flowers are sweet, the black tea is a little bitter - they...

    The extract is the way to go. I hated the EDP, but I am LOVING the extract. It is a gourmand with an air of sophistication. This is Gluttony wearing a Cartier watch, a Tiffany ring, and a Hermes...

    No need to repeat what has already been said - but WAY too close to cherry cough syrup for me - and I never DID get an almond note... Wanted to like it... thought sure I would .... didn't.

    I just bought the 20 ml bottle for 136 euros in Paris - expensive! But it is a gorgeous scent. On me, it is very, very soft and close to the skin. It is wearable in all seasons, warm weather as...

    Absolutely sublime. This is the stuff - ooooh yeah. The New Look perfume by Caron, created in 1947, and difficult to get hold of these days (Les Senteurs has it for £145 for 50ml), Farnesiana is a...

    Farnesiana parfum is the smell of Mary Cassatt's "Mother's Kiss" or her "Young Mother Sewing." Comforting, soothing, sober, and shot through with the aroma of various blues and pinks, ...

    Farnesiana is a doughy, bitter almond pastry with just enough sweetness to make it "edible" but not so much that it's like rubbing sweet almond extract on your skin. Gourmand but sophisticated. ...
