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. This perfume is dedicated to the goddess "Io" for which the Roman emperor Tiberius founded the most beautiful villa of Capri in the first century of our era. This fragrance is intense, sophisticated and modern, it combines the exhilarating notes of tea leaves with the sweet notes of wild fig.

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".
