Carthusia Perfumes of Capri

Carthusia is a brand of fragrances and other personal and home care products born on the splendid island of Capri. The entire line features the colours, smells and names of this marvellous land. Carthusia products, from fragrances and room perfumers to soaps and body and hand creams, are enriched with natural extracts of the highest quality. Discover the history and the world of Carthusia.

 

Carthusia Fragrances: The History

The history of Carthusia began in 1948 when the story goes that a local prior found some old perfume formulas inside the Certosa and decided, under licence from the Pope, to reveal them to a Piedmontese chemist: he created the smallest fragrance laboratory in the world, naming it “Carthusia” (Certosa). From that small and precious testament of “recipes” and ancient knowledge was thus born Carthusia, which today has given life to a vast range of fragrances, and unique olfactory accords that embody the soul of Capri perfumes. Every day Carthusia seeks to trap the unique emotion that only the island of Capri can give, the one that makes the heartbeat, and the stomach vibrate and horizons open, through the rich aromas of this land. Each Carthusia fragrance evokes the paradisiacal setting of Capri with its breathtaking views, white houses scattered in the flourishing vegetation dotted with bougainvillaea, roses and cyclamens, the blue sky as a backdrop and the immense blue overwhelming.

Finally, there is a really interesting legend about this Made in Italy brand: in 1380, before the Certosa di San Giacomo, taken aback by the news that Queen Giovanna d'Angi&ograve had come to Capri, prepared a collection of the island's most beautiful flowers. Those flowers remained in the same water for three days and when it was time to throw them out, the prior realised that the water had acquired a fragrance that was mysterious to him. He turned, therefore, to a brother erudite in alchemy, who identified the origin of that perfume in the "Garofilium silvestre caprese". That water was Capri's first perfume.

 

Carthusia Fragrances

Carthusia fragrances are born from the abundance of Capri nature: lemons, mandarins, orange blossom, bergamot, cyclamen, jasmine, lily, fruity notes and many other scents. The perfume Via Camerelle Eau de Parfum is undoubtedly one of the brand's most sought-after fragrances, thanks to its intense, citrusy composition that brings to mind the sea breeze and the essence of the flowers that surround one of the most famous streets on the island of Capri. Via Camerelle EDP takes the mind on a trip down the most surprising street on the island, where every tourist gets lost admiring the splendid shop windows of the most prestigious brands, luxury hotels and villas embellished with precious coloured majolica. Fiori di Capri Eau de Parfum, on the other hand, tells of another facet of the Carthusia universe, taking us back to the marvels of this island: the sun, the crystal-clear sky, the essence of flowers and the freshness of citrus fruits are concentrated in this Eau de parfum with a noble and delicate soul. The perfume Tuberosa EDP by Carthusia features the noble and charismatic flower of the same name in a creamy and enveloping interpretation. The sunny carnality of Ylang-Ylang surrounds it, before making it vibrate with Elemi and Cinnamon, and tinged with Plum. In the wake, deep, material notes of Vetiver, Vanilla, Ambroxan and Musk. If you love Carthusia perfumes, you can't miss one of the line's best sellers: A’mmare Eau de Parfum is a luminous and aromatic fragrance, evoking that carefree summer lightness that only the crystalline horizon of the sea and the taste of salt can evoke. Among Carthusia's best-selling perfumes, A’mmare is certainly one of the most popular with our customers.
