Carthusia-I Profumi di Capri

Carthusia- The perfumes of Capri is a brand of niche artistic perfumery. Legend has it that in 1380 the prior father of the Certosa di San Giacomo, caught unaware of the news of the arrival of the sovereign Giovanna d'Angiò on Capri, prepared a collection of the most beautiful flowers on the island. Those flowers remained in the same water for three days and at the time of throwing them the prior noticed that the water had acquired a fragrance mysterious to him, so that he turned to the religious scholar in alchemy who identified the origin of that perfume in the "Garofilium silvestre caprese ". That water was the first perfume of Capri.

Only later in 1948 the prior of the Certosa, having found the old perfume formulas, under license from the Pope, revealed them to a Piedmontese chemist who thus created the smallest laboratory in the world by calling it "Carthusia", that is "Certosa". You can find perfumes, household products, body and face care products, candles and room diffusers.
