Carthusia Gelsomini di Capri is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Gelsomini di Capri opens with Jasmine, Geranium, Ylang-Ylang, and Clove, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Rose, Vanilla, and Beeswax. Carthusia's Gelsomini di Capri carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This one is a properly divisive white floral, with some finding it a beautiful, realistic jasmine tea, and others recoiling from its indolic, old-school leanings. You'll either adore its natural intensity or want to scrub it off.

Its potent floral character, described by many as strong and even 'animalic' or 'sweaty', makes it less suitable for office environments where subtlety is key. However, its intensity and unique blend of notes lend themselves well to dates and more formal gatherings, hinting at an alluring, classic elegance. It's too heavy for sport.

About

Gelsomini di Capri opens with a bold flourish of jasmine and ylang-ylang, spiced with a sharp clove, giving it an initial 'peppery' quality. As it settles, orange blossom and a hint of cedar emerge, leading to a base of warm beeswax, a subtle rose, and creamy vanilla. The journey is intensely floral, almost indolic, capturing the essence of white and yellow blooms with an earthy, sweet undertone.
