Behind the Fragrance
Carthusia Intenso di Ginestra Eau de Parfum
The Golden Soul of the Mediterranean
Carthusia Intenso di Ginestra captures the radiant beauty of the Mediterranean gorse flower (Ginestra)—a luminous scent that embodies natural warmth and floral sophistication.
The top notes burst with the sparkling freshness of bergamot and mandarin, enhanced by a touch of pink pepper, adding a refined spicy nuance.
At its heart, the gorse flower takes center stage—honeyed, sun-kissed, and intensely Mediterranean. Accentuated by orange blossom and jasmine, this floral bouquet evokes the golden hues of Capri’s summer landscapes.
The base notes add depth and elegance. Amber brings warmth, sandalwood offers a creamy smoothness, and vetiver adds an earthy, grounding finish. The result is a long-lasting, sophisticated fragrance that lingers beautifully on the skin.
Fragrance Notes Overview:
Top Notes: Bergamot, Mandarin, Pink Pepper
Heart Notes: Gorse Flower (Ginestra), Orange Blossom, Jasmine
Base Notes: Amber, Sandalwood, Vetiver

The Story Behind Carthusia
Carthusia is one of the world's oldest niche fragrance houses, deeply connected to the history of Capri, Italy. The brand traces its origins back to 1380, when the Prior of the Certosa di San Giacomo Monastery prepared an extravagant bouquet of Capri’s most fragrant flowers for Queen Giovanna of Naples.
After three days, the water in which the flowers had been placed emitted an extraordinary scent—thus marking the birth of Carthusia’s legendary perfumes.
Today, Carthusia continues this legacy by crafting fragrances entirely by hand, using only the finest natural ingredients. The result is a collection of exclusive niche perfumes that reflect the brand’s deep-rooted artisanal tradition and passion for excellence.
