CARTHUSIA Perfume Intenso di Basilico
$275.00
A fragrance that tells the story of the present while looking toward the future, with the signature elegance of Carthusia. Intenso di Basilico transforms tradition into a contemporary olfactory experience, with a fresh, vibrant, and irresistibly modern composition.
The opening is an explosion of energy: bergamot and mandarin bring a bright, citrusy touch, while pink pepper adds a lively, spicy note—an audacious accent that immediately captures attention. At the heart, the undisputed protagonist is basil: fresh, green, and incredibly contemporary, it intertwines with the airy lightness of tea leaves and the floral delicacy of jasmine. The base notes wrap the fragrance in a warm and sophisticated trail. cashmeran, with its soft, woody texture, blends with the earthy depth of patchouli and the elegant freshness of vetiver, creating a finish that is both enveloping and dynamic, designed to leave a bold and unmistakable impression. Intenso di Basilico is a modern reinterpretation of a classic ingredient—a celebration of a contemporary Mediterranean lifestyle. Made in Italy.

About Carthusia
About Carthusia
Capri, the Italian island of dreams has been an enchanting oasis since Roman times. Its natural beauty, sunny climate and innate glamour are legendary. In 1380 the Father Prior of the Monastery of St. Giacomo made Queen Giovanna D’ Angio’ a flower arrangement with the most beautiful island flowers. The water was not changed for three days, and the Prior noticed that the water had acquired a beautiful fragrance. This became the first perfume of Capri. Forgotten and re-discovered in 1948, the Monastery with permission of the Pope, revealed the recipe to a chemist, who created the smallest fragrance laboratory in the world and called it ‘Carthusia’. Today the perfume tradition continues and limited production ensures the same methods used by the Carthusian monks are respected.
