Carthusia Lady

Carthusia Lady

Carthusia Lady is a floral chypre Eau de Parfum built around an opulent bouquet of rose, gardenia and camellia over a mossy, woody base. A bright, gently spicy opening softens into powdery iris and peach before settling into warm sandalwood, patchouli, ambergris and vanilla, giving a classically feminine yet quietly sensual character reminiscent of Italian vintage florals.

Scent Development and Character

Floral chypre with a spicy accent.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Elegant, feminine and somewhat nostalgic, suitable for daytime wear when dressed up, and for evening occasions where a refined floral chypre with moderate presence is desired. Works best in temperate weather rather than heat extremes. Best in spring and autumn; can work in mild winter, may be heavy in very hot summer. Sillage is Moderate sillage with a noticeable but not overpowering trail, more intimate than room-filling. Longevity is Moderate to good longevity for an Eau de Parfum, often quoted around most of a working day on skin.
