Fiori di Capri, i.e. the flowers of the island, are gathered together in this surprisingly uncomplicated floral fragrance full of Mediterranean warmth despite its olfactory palette, which - rather unusually for an Italian perfume - does without citrus notes. Lily of the valley and small-flowered wild carnations characterize its top notes. Ylang-ylang sets the tone in the heart, while oakmoss, amber and sandalwood notes dominate the base.

When Joanna I, Queen of Naples, visited the island of Capri at the end of the 14th century, the prior of the Certosa di San Giacomo had the most beautiful flowers collected for flower arrangements. A few days later, he happened to notice that the water had taken on a pleasant fragrance. A fragrance that one of his confreres used as a model for "Garofilium Silvestre Caprese", the first perfume on the island of Capri. Other perfume formulas followed, but over time the recipes were forgotten - until the Prior of the Charterhouse rediscovered them in 1948 - again by chance. He gave them to a chemist from Piedmont, who then founded a small laboratory called "Carthusia" and reissued the fragrances. The medieval formulas were carefully reworked by a renowned perfumer. The raw materials used are of the highest quality.

Please note that some perfumes, especially those with yellowish or other colored fragrance oils, may stain light-colored clothing.
