In September 2002, for the first time in their history, Carthusia perfumes left the most beautiful of all Italian islands to be presented to the public. Until then, these fragrances had been available exclusively on Capri. But now the time had come to step out into the world, like a gentleman, sober and discreet. The prior of the Certosa di San Giacomo had no idea of this when, in the year of our Lord 1380, he had the most beautiful flowers collected from all over the island for arrangements to be presented to Queen Joanna I of Naples. By chance, after three days, it was discovered that the water had taken on a very special and extraordinary fragrance. The monastery alchemist used this as a model to create ‘Garofilium Silvestre Caprese’, the first perfume from Capri. As history would have it, the old perfume formulas were rediscovered by the prior of the Certosa in 1948, and with the Pope's permission, he presented them to a chemist from Piemont. He immediately began his work in a small laboratory, which he called ‘Carthusia’, meaning ‘Carthusian monastery’. In that laboratory, a magical place rich in aromas and emotions, the fragrances of Carthusia, the fragrances of Capri, are still created today.
The manufacturing processes are the same as those used by the priests: all products are made from the highest quality raw materials, such as rosemary picked on Monte Solaro and wild carnations from Capri, which give these fragrances their inimitable character. Each bottle is filled and packaged by hand, with dedication and experience, just as it was in the past. The medieval formulas have been carefully revised by the renowned perfumer Laura Tonatto from Piemont. The fragrances of Capri are like the island itself: beautiful, noble and elegant. A touch of exclusivity wafts through the air, and during the day the light bathes the island in different colours, completely enchanting the observer. When the red sun sinks into the sea on Capri, the world is in perfect harmony for that moment. Experience this dream with Profumi Carthusia di Capri.
