Farina 1709 - About the house
In the 9th generation
The oldest perfume house in the world
As a pioneer and visionary, Farina 1709 redefined perfumery with his creation, a scent that has accompanied and inspired generations. Our history includes royal houses and visionaries as brand ambassadors from the very beginning.
Italian lifestyle and French refinement - in Cologne since the beginning
Here in Cologne, Farina introduced bergamot to the world of perfumery - it became the basis of his first formula, changing the world of scents. In a city where trade flourished and French was the language of exchange, he shaped a new era of perfumery with his original Eau de Cologne.
To this day, Cologne is our home. Here we combine heritage with cosmopolitanism and history with future - through our fragrances that carry on this tradition.
In the 9th generation - a tradition that lives on.
We, as a family business, still live today what our first generation started over 300 years ago: clear, pure compositions and the finest essences. The care in processing and the knowledge of raw materials shape our work just as they did back then. This tradition obliges us with joy - we preserve it and lead it into the future.
Looking to the future and fresh ideas
Soon Farina 1709 will open the doors to a new experience: Exclusive fragrance seminars where our centuries-old expertise becomes tangible. Here, our guests immerse themselves in the art of perfumery. We reveal the secrets of noble scents – in a place that combines history and innovation.
