Carthusia — 1681
Inspiration
1681 captures the solemn elegance of old Capri: sun falling on stone, polished wood warmed by incense, and the crisp snap of Mediterranean herbs carried in from the sea. It opens with a brisk, almost classical brightness—mandarin and bergamot lit by rosemary, red thyme and coriander—before a cultured heart unfolds: neroli and petitgrain with lavender and a refined iris nuance. As the light fades, the scene turns contemplative; sandalwood and cedar lend structure while incense breathes depth, cushioned by amber, vanilla and musk. The result feels gentlemanly yet modern: clean lines, quiet power, enduring grace.
