Carthusia Essence of the Park is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Luca Maffei. Essence of the Park opens with Sea Water, Bergamot, Lemon, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Neroli, Geranium, Magnolia, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Carthusia's Essence of the Park carries a Favourite verdict, a herbal-led wear.

This isn't just a perfume; it's a green, herbaceous daydream. While some find it a bit too intimate or sharp, most love its unique, refreshing, and surprisingly complex take on nature. Don't let the name fool you, this is a truly unisex scent.

About

Essence of the Park opens with an invigorating, almost mojito-like burst of fresh citrus and bright artemisia, tinged with a subtly minty and aromatic spice. As it settles, the initial greenness mellows into a beautiful blend of sweet honeysuckle and delicate white florals, hinting at a sun-dappled meadow. The dry-down often reveals a warm, almost woody earthiness, grounding the fresh notes with a surprising depth that lingers beautifully.
