1681

Carthusia 1681 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010. 1681 opens with Rosemary, Coriander, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Lavender, Iris, Pepper, and Neroli, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Musk, Cedar, and Amber. Carthusia's 1681 carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive old soul. Some find 1681 a uniquely refined, effortlessly masculine iris, a step up from the usual suspects. Others, though, get a distinct whiff of vintage lipstick or something a bit too medicinal. Test before you commit, this isn't for everyone.

With its subtle sillage and elegant, somewhat vintage character, 1681 is perfectly suited for more formal settings or professional environments. While some describe it as an excellent day-to-day scent, its old-world charm makes it less ideal for casual wear or sporty activities.

About

Carthusia 1681 opens with a Mediterranean aromatic punch of bergamot, sharp coriander, and a herbal rosemary-thyme blend, giving way to a heart where powdery iris meets peppery intrigue and soothing lavender. The drydown settles into a sophisticated, woody embrace of cedar and sandalwood, softened by amber, vanilla, and a whisper of incense, leaving a clean, antique-like trail.
