Carthusia 2015 EDP
Essence of the Park
by Luca Maffei
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 fresh-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.What our verdicts mean →

Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Best Occasions
Its fresh, clean, and herbal nature makes it excellent for casual wear or the office, as it's generally light. Longevity can be an issue for some, potentially reducing its impact for longer date nights or formal events, though its refreshing quality makes it suitable for sport.
