A'mmare – Eau de Parfum

Carthusia A'MMARE Eau de Parfum

Unisex niche fragrance | Mediterranean. Luminous. Immersive.

A tribute to Capri's eternal summer

A'MMARE by Carthusia is not simply a fragrance – it is a journey into the sensory heart of the Italian summer, as experienced from the cliffs and coastlines of Capri. This unisex Eau de Parfum, available in 100 ml and 50 ml, is part of the Best Sellers and Italian Summer collections and stands as a vibrant homage to Mediterranean light, coastal breezes, and timeless elegance. A’MMARE is inspired by the marine soul of the island – the salt on the skin, the sway of aromatic herbs in the sun, and the memory of waves against centuries-old stones.

The name “A’MMARE” itself, a Neapolitan play on the word "amare" (to love) and “mare” (the sea), evokes a duality: it is both a declaration of passion and an invocation of the sea’s magnetic pull. This perfume captures that very tension – between serenity and desire, between the rooted and the untamed.

The composition: sun, salt, and sacred herbs

The opening of A’MMARE is dazzlingly fresh and herbaceous, with vibrant bergamot and a rare, piquant rosemary note that conjures sun-warmed rock and the scent of herbs carried on a breeze. This beginning is like stepping into the Mediterranean morning – brisk, crystalline, hopeful.

The heart introduces an invigorating swirl of mint leaves, emblematic of hidden energy and clarity. This green brightness is softened by a whisper of floral nuance – subtle, yet ever-present. As the fragrance unfolds, the scent deepens, just as a shallow tide gives way to deeper waters.

The base notes anchor the composition in a tactile, enveloping warmth: cedarwood and guaiac wood, noble and resinous, entwine with patchouli and musk, creating a sensual, lingering presence on the skin. There is a textural quality here – a physicality that clings like the mineral trace of sea air on sun-dried skin.

A scent born from myth, science and artistry

A’MMARE is a multi-sensory narrative, not only told through smell, but through visual and symbolic design. The flacon, designed by Paola Tassetti, transforms the bottle into a “Viridarium” – a concept rooted in Roman antiquity that refers to sacred garden spaces found in villas and temples, where flora, water and meaning coexist in perfect harmony.

Tassetti’s work fuses biology, botany, anatomy, archaeology and architecture into a layered aesthetic that makes each Carthusia flacon a collectible object. For A’MMARE, marine creatures and sea plants are interlaced, forming an aquatic mandala that reflects the perfume’s soul: wild yet harmonious, fleeting yet unforgettable.

A legacy of craft: Carthusia and the essence of Capri

Founded officially in 1948, Carthusia’s origins trace back to 1380, when the monks of the Carthusian Monastery of San Giacomo created the island’s first perfume by accident – blending local flowers for Queen Joanna of Anjou. That moment led to centuries of perfume history, rooted in the land and culture of Capri.

Today, the brand continues to handcraft each fragrance in small batches, using natural raw materials and techniques that honor tradition while embracing contemporary artistry. A’MMARE embodies this dual spirit: a modern perfume shaped by the timeless landscape and the Mediterranean’s olfactory richness.

For whom is A’MMARE?

This scent is for dreamers with sun in their veins. For travelers who long for barefoot afternoons, stone-paved alleys scented with rosemary, and nights under star-kissed skies. It is for those who carry the sea within them – bold, infinite, ever changing.

Now available at scent amor – for all who love with the sea in their heart.
