Jessica, a Facebook friend, spent two weeks of vacation at the Amalfi Coast at the end of summer and generously provided us with great photos and detailed descriptions of her activities and impressions.
This way, I could also experience this wonderful trip without having to push through the narrow, crowded streets of Portofino and having to tend to my aching little feet by the afternoon. (They were already whining just from looking at the pictures.)
I also enjoyed delightful meals without - how nice! - immediately gaining weight!
And of course, this trip also led to Capri and just as naturally (after all, I met Jessica in the "Eau my Soul" community) to Carthusia.
Informative and beautiful photos from outside and inside the store hinted at sensual enjoyment. I almost want to say: these pictures smelled good!
For me, the fragrances I know from Carthusia symbolize Italian charm; the magic of a southern summer day.
Floral and elegant, expressive yet not intrusive; these fragrances are beautiful and wearable without being spectacular.
"Capri forget me not" joins the ranks; only the scent is less floral, rather fresh and spicy.
Not bright sunny summer yellow, but with pretty green and delicate colorful dots!
The entrance resembles a citrus grove, where citrus freshness and the sweetness of ripe fruits stand harmoniously side by side. A little lime stands out - how could it be otherwise in this region!
Instead of the usual floral heart, "Capri forget me not" relies on spicy herbs: eucalyptus leads the way. At first, it's a bit surprising: this nuance feels foreign.
But the accompanying fragrance notes, especially mint and the not-so-humble violet, then bring the senses back into unclouded summer mood.
In this, we reach a floral and fruity aromatic space; it’s a walk through a southern garden.
Jasmine and hyacinth carry the previous fragrance weave richly and proudly; peach and warm, creamy white vanilla complete this fragrance creation: without pomp and pathos, but skillfully and tastefully.
Thus, Carthusia's "Capri forget me not" is a fresh-spicy companion for the day.
It signals: "I am here!" without being annoying or striving to be in the foreground.
Besides, it is too light anyway - noble-Italian!
Not: "Avanti! Avanti!", but "Piano" and "con calma"!
I will set aside this interesting, because completely different summer scent for the upcoming season. Luckily, I received a generous sample, so that when I want to, I can look at Jessica's photos with a few drops of "Capri forget me not" a little wistfully.
And thus embark on a nostalgic journey of thoughts: I will have the necessary companions by my side.
Until then, it’s: "Capri, non dimenticarmi!"
Very beautifully described, I like this brand and would love to visit the company in Capri someday. Thank you for the lovely journey in difficult times! Unfortunately, I don't know this scent yet.
That's great! Just like you could enjoy the trip without sore feet, we could enjoy the scent without having to buy the bottle. I know for sure I would like that fragrance!
Thanks for sharing your fragrance journey with us. Luckily, we have limitless freedom to travel in our minds! What can a gloomy autumn morning do to us, especially when scents of wanderlust help lift our spirits so beautifully!
Well described and detailed. With the right pictures that create a vacation vibe. Participating in a holiday through photo impressions from the comfort of my sofa is definitely sensible during Corona times. I’d still prefer sore feet, though.
I also like the scent.
Good morning! You're already quite busy. Your comment makes me curious about this scent, but my experiences with fig + eucalyptus and buchu tell me to pass.
You've already given me such beautiful summery pictures on this gloomy autumn morning. Thank you so much for that! And regarding the scent, we'll definitely note it down for next spring/summer. A pleasure to read!
