description
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. Fiori di Capri : the real smell of the Italian island of Capri. Mediterranean notes of wild carnation found on Mount Solaro. The lily of the valley and oak mixed with the aroma of amber and sandalwood to recreate the medieval recipe of Father Prieur of the Chartreuse de St Jacques who composed the first perfume of the island for the sovereign Jeanne d'Anjou.

Carthusia

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".
