Carthusia Lady

Carthusia Carthusia Lady is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. Carthusia Lady opens with Rose, Lily Of The Valley, Jasmine, and Lilac, settles into a heart of Iris, Peach, Violet Leaf, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Tolu Balsam. Carthusia's Carthusia Lady carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This perfume is a time capsule, embodying a classic, complex floral chypre style that feels far older than its 2011 launch. It's a love-it-or-find-it-odd scent, depending on your appreciation for old-school perfumery, and performs best in cooler weather.

About

Carthusia Lady opens with a rich, ethereal bouquet of mixed florals - rose, lily of the valley, and jasmine intertwine with the unique facets of cyclamen and lilac, brightened by a hint of bergamot. As it settles, an elegant powdery iris emerges, complemented by sweet peach and a warm, surprisingly present clove and carnation spice. The dry down is a sophisticated embrace of earthy oakmoss, patchouli, and sandalwood, softened by musk and a whisper of vanilla, creating a subtle yet lasting impression of timeless floral warmth.
