Jean Marie Farina Extra Vieille

Roger & Gallet Jean Marie Farina Extra Vieille is a Cologne launched in 1806. Jean Marie Farina Extra Vieille opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose, Neroli, Petitgrain, and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Myrtle, Sandalwood, and Musk. Roger & Gallet's Jean Marie Farina Extra Vieille carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This is a truly classic cologne, fresh and invigorating. Don't expect it to last longer than a cuppa, but for a quick burst of uplifting citrus, it’s spot on. Ideal for hot days or as a 'refresher' but be warned - the staying power is notoriously brief.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its extremely light nature and poor longevity make it unsuitable for situations needing sustained presence like dates or formal events. However, its fresh, clean citrus and aromatic profile make it perfect for casual wear, office environments where strong scents are inappropriate, and for refreshing spritzes during sport or hot weather.

About

Jean Marie Farina Extra Vieille bursts open with a vibrant, zesty medley of bergamot, lemon, orange, and mandarin, instantly awakening the senses. This bright citrus quickly intertwines with a cool, aromatic heart of rosemary, neroli, and petitgrain, offering a green, herbaceous counterpoint. As it settles, a whisper of cedar, vetiver, and a hint of spicy clove provides a clean, understated woody dry down, creating an elegant, albeit fleeting, freshness.
