The perfume, "Violetta di Parma" owes its very existence to Maria Luigia,(second wife of Napoleon Bonaparte and Duchess of Parma, Piacenza and Guastalla), and her love of this flower.
It was she who encoraged and supported research by the monks at the Monastery of the Annunciata who, after long and patient work, succeeded in obtaining an essence from the flower and its leaves which was identical to that of the violet.
The first bottles of the Violetta di Parma, produced thanks to the alchemic skill of the monks, were made solely for the personal use of the Duchess Maria Luigia.
