In 1861, once the reconstruction of the Charterhouse was complete, the monks of Capri began to prepare the first perfume essences based on local herbs and spices. Since then, even though much has changed, the fine craft care and rigorous observance of natural methods have remained substantially the same. Carthusia means Charterhouse and Carthusia fragrances are still prepared with the aromas that the island continues to produce.

Using ancient methods of production, each bar is slowly and accurately made to Carthusia’s high stands. The French milling process creates a dense bar of soap that is smooth, lathers well, and is long-lasting. This subtly perfumes your skin with Uomo fragrance and is perfect for layering with hand cream and perfume.

A Carthusia best seller, meant for a man who eschews excess but likes to charm, Carthusia Uomo is quintessential Italian: daring, passionate and always a gentleman. This fresh and elegant scent is reminiscent of the open sea, fresh fruit, good Russian leather, and recently spun cashmere. A perfectly gentle fragrance, dedicated to the discrete and appealing gentleman.
