CARTHUSIA Gelsomini di Capri Eau De Parfum Perfume Fragrance 100 ml

Product Information

Lanvin fragrances are rarely loud or particularly heavy. They still carry the charming personality of the company's founder Jeanne Lanvin as their very own DNA. Skip forward to 1948, and the prior of the Charterhouse discovered the ye olde formula, and sold it to a chemist in Piedmont. This created Cathusia perfume. Whether you believe the tale or not, the more pressing point is the perfume itself: how good is it? But the clarity of Girl of Capri, who is anything but feminine, but who is definitely unisex capable, is a secret tip for you for this summer.

I would gladly take a piece of wood or two in my hand, stroke its water-polished smoothness, and listen to what this wood has to tell. If you’re a hardcore shopper, or if like me, you just fancy a poke around the shops every now and then, you’re in for a treat. Not as "A Girl in Capri", it's too late for that: I'm too old; but as a connoisseur of atmosphere, colours, sounds and wonderful scents. They form a harmonious whole here. Thus, this summer fragrance "A Girl in Capri" is exactly what the name implies: joy of life captured in fragrance with the unmistakable flair of this island. The name may sound like a terrible made-for-television movie shown during the festive period, but rest assured! It’s not actually called Christmas Alley. Phew.Want some more Capri info?

Positano: Lemon goodies Sorrento is a great town for shopping – the tiny streets just off Piazza Tasso are full of small stores and stalls selling all kinds of local products, from enormous fruit and vegetables to artisan gelato – but one of the most common sights you’ll see is a workshop selling the wooden boxes that the town is so well known for. The street is at it’s peak in September and October when stallholders are gearing up for the Christmas period, some carving the figures deep within their stall, but it’s not just confined to winter festivities. If you’re a football/soccer fan, then you’ll definitely want to visit: you’ll never again see such a variety of statuettes and caricatures of footballers. Aside from images of the godlike Maradona (who has his own shrine just around the corner at Bar Nilo), you’ll be spoilt for choice for lovingly created statues of Napoli players, and slightly less-than loving figures of the rival Juventus team. It's pleasant here in the fragrant shade, as the grapefruit trees and their many small blossoms smell pleasantly spicy in the sun: it's a scent that exudes vibrancy and stability. The holiday impression thus drawn in cheerful colors gives pleasure; it shows magnificent nature, laughing people with bright eyes and a sparkling vitality!

Guaranteed Shopping Satisfaction Right, sniffing perfume, but I could not have dreamed of the serious consequences of this fragrance flirtation But I must not; the habitual routine in which everything proceeds, and from which results the serenity and fragrance in the air, would be disturbed.Gelis and Pudelbonzo have already written really nice commis to this fragrance, but I would like to take up the cudgels for him today. If you’d like something a tiny bit smaller, and more likely to survive the journey home, tiles are a good choice. You’ll see plenty of shops selling these, particularly ones depicting the local landscape, or the blue and white Cross of Amalfi. However, my choice was a shop along Via Lorenzo D’Amalfi, which seems to specialise in cat-shaped homewares. And that’s exactly my kind of souvenir!

This has been crushed in the mortar - also for further consumption - so that its strong spicy aroma becomes one with the fresh fruity one of lemons and bergamots.

Sorrento: Inlaid Wooden Boxes and Cameo JewelleryWhat I'm telling you is that "A Girl In Capri" is a summer-sun-sea-holiday pretending beautiful summer scent. I smell lemon, driftwood (woody, a teeny bit musty, like damp wood even) and sea spray with a hint of salt. The grapefruit blossom shows through with a slightly soapy note and very delicate sweetness. I don't detect the musk, even as a powder. I think to myself, he should hold the whole thing together somehow. I was already enthusiastic about other fresh lemon scents in the last years. So Limon Verde from Guerlain was the hammer. The lemon verbena scent of L'Occitane en Provence Verveine is citric beauty to smell, or the special edition of Light Blue Limon C'est with extra lemons was as fresh as if you could sink into it.
