Carthusia Intenso di Ginestra is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Antoine Lie and Luca Maffei. Intenso di Ginestra opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Petitgrain, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Broom, Jasmine, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Carthusia's Intenso di Ginestra carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of frag. Some find the jasmine overwhelming and a bit too 'vintage', leaning into granny territory. Others rave about its unique floral composition, calling it 'special' and a must-have for summer. Definitely not a blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Built on white floral, citrus and yellow floral - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

With moderate sillage and longevity, this could work for the office if applied lightly, though its strong white floral character might be too much for some. It truly shines in casual and date settings, particularly during summer, but its 'vintage' leanings might not suit all formal occasions.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a bright, zesty burst of neroli, petitgrain, and lemon, quickly giving way to a rich bouquet of narcotic white florals, dominated by jasmine and a honeyed broom note. The dry down mellows into a creamy blend of vanilla and musk, with a touch of grounding sandalwood. It’s a floral journey with a citrus kick.
