A'mmare Eau de Parfum

A'mmare is a multifaceted, yet uncomplicated fragrance that unites the diversity of Capri like no other from the Carthusia perfume house. The citrusy-spicy top note opens with classic Mediterranean aromas of fresh bergamot and aromatic rosemary, contrasted by clear, maritime salt crystals. They lead to the aquatic heart note with the invigorating freshness of green mint leaves, which unfolds on the warm, woody base of cedar and guaiac. A hint of sweet, grounding patchouli and white musk give the unisex fragrance an exotic appeal. The unusual bottle, designed by artist Paola Tassetti, reflects the diversity of the composition and its colorful motifs refer to the botanical richness of the island and the colorful diversity of the Mediterranean.

When Joanna I, Queen of Naples, visited the island of Capri at the end of the 14th century, the prior of the Certosa di San Giacomo had the most beautiful flowers collected for flower arrangements. A few days later, he happened to notice that the water had taken on a pleasant fragrance. A fragrance that one of his confreres used as a model for "Garofilium Silvestre Caprese", the first perfume on the island of Capri. Other perfume formulas followed, but over time the recipes were forgotten - until the Prior of the Charterhouse rediscovered them in 1948 - again by chance. He gave them to a chemist from Piedmont, who then founded a small laboratory called "Carthusia" and reissued the fragrances. The medieval formulas were carefully reworked by a renowned perfumer. The raw materials used are of the highest quality.
