Fiori di Capri

by Laura Bosetti Tonatto

Carthusia Fiori di Capri is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1948, created by Laura Bosetti Tonatto. Fiori di Capri opens with Rose, Orange Blossom, Cyclamen, and Gardenia, settles into a heart of Iris, Violet Leaf, Wild Strawberry, and Pineapple, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Amber, and Labdanum. Carthusia's Fiori di Capri carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This is a divisive one. Many find its rich, vintage floral profile 'old-fashioned' or even 'annoying'; however, for those who appreciate classic complexities, it's a 'masterpiece' and 'heaven-like'. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it scent.

Casual

Its vintage, mature floral character and decent silage make it better suited for evening and formal events, though some find it light enough for casual wear. It's generally too intense for an office setting.

About

Fiori di Capri opens with a dizzying bouquet of white florals - tuberose, gardenia, ylang-ylang, and orange blossom - all brightened by a citrus zest. As it settles, a complex heart of sweet fruits like pineapple and wild strawberry emerges, deepened by honey, iris, and warm spices such as clove and nutmeg, with a hint of contemplative incense. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of earthy patchouli, oakmoss, and sandalwood, softened by amber and musk.
