A fragrance that tells the story of the present while looking toward the future, with the signature elegance of Carthusia. Basilico transforms tradition into a contemporary olfactory experience, with a fresh, vibrant, and irresistibly modern composition.
The opening is an explosion of energy: Bergamot and Mandarin bring a bright, citrusy touch, while Pink Pepper adds a lively, spicy note—an audacious accent that immediately captures attention. At the heart, the undisputed protagonist is Basil: fresh, green, and incredibly contemporary, it intertwines with the airy lightness of Tea Leaves and the floral delicacy of Jasmine. The base notes wrap the fragrance in a warm and sophisticated trail. Cashmeran, with its soft, woody texture, blends with the earthy depth of Patchouli and the elegant freshness of Vetiver, creating a finish that is both enveloping and dynamic, designed to leave a bold and unmistakable impression.
Basilico is a modern reinterpretation of a classic ingredient—a celebration of a contemporary Mediterranean lifestyle.
Intenso Collection
We are proud to announce the launch of the new Intenso Collection, a project that marks a true revolution in the brand’s paradigm. The collection consists of three exclusive fragrances: Basilico, Ginestra and Mirto—unique olfactory interpretations that celebrate the essence of raw materials and tell stories of authenticity, nature, and innovation.
The fragrances of the Intenso Collection come in a new 50 ml format, with completely redesigned bottles. Characterized by vibrant colors and refined designs, they become visual symbols of the raw materials used, perfectly representing the union of tradition and modernity that has always distinguished Carthusia.
For this project, Carthusia renews its prestigious collaboration with the Italian Master Perfumer Luca Maffei, joined on this occasion by the renowned Parisian partner Antoine Lie. Together, the two noses have created three olfactory compositions that embody a passion for research and artisanal excellence.
Carthusia invites all perfume lovers to discover the world of Intenso, where tradition and innovation meet to offer an extraordinary olfactory experience.
