Carthusia 1681 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010. 1681 opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Coriander, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Petitgrain, Neroli, Iris, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. 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.

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.
