About This Perfume
Think fresh citrus and green leaves with clean musk: that is Carthusia Uomo. It opens with green leaves, freesia and lemon, moves into cedarwood, geranium and lily of the valley and settles on oakmoss, white musk and amber. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2004.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: spicy is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $119.

The Brand
Carthusia
Carthusia is an Italian perfume house founded in 1948 on the island of Capri, whose formulas trace back to a Carthusian monastery's flower-distillation tradition. The house name references the monks (Certosini) whose recipes seeded the line. The Carthusia range on Scendira is 24 perfumes, roughly $50 to $173. The Carthusia names that come up most in fragrance communities: Carthusia Terra Mia, Carthusia Mediterraneo and Carthusia A'mmare.
What is in the bottles
On Carthusia Terra Mia (Eau de Parfum, 2017), expect creamy coffee with vanilla, rose, and soft musk; it starts with bergamot and neroli and settles on amberwood, ambroxan and vanilla. Carthusia Mediterraneo (Eau de Parfum, 2003) reads as bright citrus and mint air, with clean white musk, opening on lemon and bergamot and drying down to white musk. Carthusia A'mmare (Eau de Parfum, 2021) is described as briny sea air, rosemary, mint on clean cedar, with salt and rosemary up top and white musk, cedarwood and gaiac wood underneath.
