Violetta di Parma was originally created for Napoleon’s wife, the Duchess of Parma, who established her residence in one of the most elegant Italian cities, Parma, in the mid of the 1800’s.
The Duchess created lush botanical gardens within her palace and started cultivating the precious Parma violets and distilling their fragrant essence with the help of local monks. Violetta di Parma was encapsulated as the Duchess’ first signature scent.
In 1870, Borsari – the legendary perfume laboratory based in Parma, Italy - obtained the secret formulas from the monastery and brought Violetta di Parma to a widespread audience. The perfume success was immediate and by word of mouth Violetta di Parma became the first ever Italian perfume to be recognized internationally.
Today Violetta di Parma remains true to its origins and production continues with the same traditional methods as in the past. The sweet and delicate Parma violets are still cultivated in Italy and the essence is distilled by Borsari 1870 to create a legendary classic scent.
