This classic, fresh, almost maritime eau de parfum is a multi-faceted composition that combines citrus and floral notes with woody and oriental hints. The top note is characterized by lemon, bergamot, freesia and green leaves. It gives way to a heart note dominated by lily of the valley, jasmine, geranium, cedarwood and patchouli, while sandalwood, oakmoss, amber and musk emerge in the base note of the light fragrance.

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.
