Carthusia Fiori di Capri is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1948, created by Laura Bosetti Tonatto. Fiori di Capri opens with Cyclamen, Bergamot, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Wild Strawberry, Iris, and Violet Leaf, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. 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.

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.
