Fornasetti Immaginazione Extrait de Parfum

Product Information

Immaginazione is the flagship fragrance of Fornasetti’s first-ever Extrait de Parfum collection, launched in late 2023. While Fornasetti has long been a titan of home fragrance, this collection marks their definitive entry into high-concentration personal perfumery.Inspired by the "dreamlike" world of Piero Fornasetti, Immaginazione is an aromatic, woody, and intensely green fragrance that captures the essence of a Mediterranean garden at twilight.The Olfactive Profile: A Botanical DreamThe fragrance is built on the concept of "The Garden of Casa Fornasetti," balancing heritage ingredients with a modern, high-concentration clarity.The Radiant Opening:The scent begins with a sharp, invigorating burst of Lavender and Thyme. This is not a "dry" herbal opening; it is rendered with a moist, green freshness that feels like walking through dew-covered herbs.The Aromatic Heart:As the top notes settle, the "heart" reveals a sophisticated blend of Orris (Iris) and Geranium. The Orris adds a buttery, slightly powdery texture that elevates the herbs into the realm of luxury, while the Geranium keeps the scent vibrant and "cold."The Woody Foundation:The dry down is a sturdy, elegant architecture of Cedarwood, Patchouli, and Sandalwood. A hint of Amber and Oakmoss provides a classic "Chypre" depth, giving the Extrait a timeless, stoic quality that lingers on the skin for over 12 hours.Key CharacteristicsFeatureDetailConcentrationExtrait de ParfumOlfactory FamilyWoody AromaticKey TextureGreen, Buttery (Orris), and EarthyVibeSurreal, Intellectual, and SophisticatedLongevityExceptional (High oil concentration)Artistic PresentationAs with all things Fornasetti, the bottle is as much a piece of art as the fragrance itself:The Vessel: The bottle features the iconic "Tema e Variazioni" motif—specifically the face of opera singer Lina Cavalieri, reimagined in a surrealist style.The Cap: A heavy, gold-toned cap that adds a sense of "Old World" luxury and weight to the vanity.The Material: High-quality glass and porcelain-inspired finishes that reflect the brand's heritage in ceramics.
