The history of Carthusia perfumes emanates from the monastery of San Giacomo on the island of Capri. Carthusia fragrances continue to be developed from the ancient distillation techniques that were used by the monks in 1380.
The island of Capri in 1681 under the reign of Charles II of Spain and the bishop of Anacapri. Fatalism, battles, attacks within the church ... fear dominates. And yet, in the newly opened Charterhouse, germinate the seeds of a new era ...
Capri, 1380, the Prior of the Carthusian St. James Monastery was caught by a surprise visit of the Queen Joan I Anjou. A welcome bouquet of the most beautiful flowers of the island. As he went to throw them away after 3 days, he noticed the water was perfumed. This emblematic scent was traced back to the wild carnation of Capri the "Garofilium Silvester Caprese".
