About This Perfume
Think Bright bergamot citrus with green herbs and musk: that is Carthusia Numero Uno. It opens with eucalyptus, bergamot and lavender, moves into litsea cubeba, mugwort and rosemary and settles on tree moss, cistus and myrrh. 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 2007.
In the community's experience it lasts through a full day, and projects strongly and fills a room.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike citrus fragrances.
Around $130.
