Carthusia Uomo - 淡香精 | Carthusia

First spray and I was transported straight to Capri — this is the island in a bottle. The scent lasts a solid eight hours on my skin and the dry-down is even better than the opening. Exactly the kind of sophisticated, Mediterranean feel I was hoping for.

I was a bit hesitant to blind-buy a fragrance from Capri, but this one instantly transports me back to the island with its sunny, coastal feel. The spray is fine and even, and a single application in the morning still has a noticeable presence after a full workday.

The scent lasts well into the evening, which is exactly what I want from an eau de parfum, and it carries that Mediterranean vibe without being too heavy. The bottle itself feels sturdy and looks sharp on the dresser, so presentation matches the juice inside.
