CARTHUSIA Fiori di Capri Solid Perfume
$85.00
Designed to offer a unique and long-lasting olfactory experience, in beeswax and without alcohol, Carthusia's Solid Perfume is ideal even for sensitive skin. Housed in a Zamak metal case with the Carthusia Siren brand symbol inlaid on the front. The pendant shape case is as beautiful as a piece of well made jewellery, and slides open from a magnetic seal. Inside the beautiful box is a small pouch to store the solid perfume and make it an ideal travel companion. Made in Italy.
Fiori de Capri is a Carthusia fragrance like no other. Featuring glorious Mediterranean notes of wild carnation, still picked by hand on Capri’s Mount Solaro, lily of the valley and oak are blended together with the enigmatic aroma of amber and sandalwood to recreate the original Medieval recipe from 1380. Made in Italy.

What is a solid perfume?
Unlike Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette, which have a liquid formula, Solid Perfumes are fragrances in the form of balm or wax. They allow a targeted application of the product, which, warming in contact with the heat of the skin, conforms to it, allowing a subsequent soft and homogeneous release of the fragrance. Typically characterised by small formats, it lasts a very long time: in fact, very little is enough for a long time!
How to use
The solid perfume should be applied to the desired areas, preferably if particularly “hot” (e.g. wrists, crook of the elbow, neck, behind the ears). It should be massaged and patted gently until completely absorbed.
About Carthusia
About Carthusia
Capri, the Italian island of dreams has been an enchanting oasis since Roman times. Its natural beauty, sunny climate and innate glamour are legendary. In 1380 the Father Prior of the Monastery of St. Giacomo made Queen Giovanna D’ Angio’ a flower arrangement with the most beautiful island flowers. The water was not changed for three days, and the Prior noticed that the water had acquired a beautiful fragrance. This became the first perfume of Capri. Forgotten and re-discovered in 1948, the Monastery with permission of the Pope, revealed the recipe to a chemist, who created the smallest fragrance laboratory in the world and called it ‘Carthusia’. Today the perfume tradition continues and limited production ensures the same methods used by the Carthusian monks are respected.
