The scent of a woman’s perfume makes a powerful statement about her personality. The delicate and faint aroma should be subtle and pleasing enough causing heads to turn and smiles to form.

Carthusia’s perfumes offer just that. The exquisite perfume captures the magnetic fragrance and beauty of one of the world’s most beautiful isle (Capri) and the flowers which grow there. Beautiful, hypnotic, unforgettable and mythical. The love put into growing a paradise of flowers and gardens is the same love with which each perfume is prepared, filtered and individually packaged by hand.

A fascinating story circulates around the origins of the first perfume to be produced on the island of Capri. Legend has it that back in 1380, an unannounced visit to Capri by Queen Giovanna D’Angio prompted the Father Prior of the Carthusian Monastery of St Giacomo to quickly arrange a large bouquet of flowers in her honor using all the most beautiful island flora.

After three days, the water in which the flowers had been placed had acquired a scent the notes of which were quite unknown to the prior. With the aid of the Father Alchemist he was able to trace the source of the fragrance to the “Garofilium Sivestre Caprese”, which was to become the very first perfume of Capri.

Captivating and appealing to the most sensitive of noses, the classical fragrances of Carthusia are reminiscent of scents rooted in tradition and ancient legends – all made from genuine products of high quality.

New products offered to the Carthusia fragrance base are:

Carthusia solid wax perfume

Carthusia shower gel

Carthusia body lotion

Carthusia solid soap

Carthusia room fragrances

Indulge in the authentic fragrances of this magnificent island and discover something about yourself because, as we know, perfume is meant to enhance your mood and emotions.




No.1 Imperial Jubilee Perfume from Clive Christian

No.1 Imperial Jubilee Perfume - Clive Christian
Clive Christian

To mark sixty remarkable years of British Sovereign Queen Elizabeth II’s reign and in tribute to her Diamond Jubilee year, Clive Christian is releasing a special edition of his No. 1 Perfume called the “Imperial Jubilee.”

Clive Christian is the creator of “No. 1” – the World’s Most Expensive Perfume and their new “Imperial Jubilee” perfume will be special. The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee will be an incredible celebration across England (her anniversary is June 2) since Queen Elizabeth is the longest serving monarch since Queen Victoria in 1897.

Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee is a very rare and special occasion for the British nation and the Commonwealth, will fall on Saturday, June 2, 2012, and will be marked with special services around the country.

The No.1 Imperial Jubilee holds a higher concentration of Perfume Spray, closer to the Pure Perfume concentration, to ensure a richer and even more enduring experience which is fit for a queen.

According to Victoria Christian, Brand Ambassador for Clive Christian Perfumes, “Only one other British Monarch in history, Queen Victoria, has reigned for 60 years or more. The perfumery that my father, Clive, revived was originally acknowledged by Queen Victoria in 1872 when she granted the image of her crown as a mark of British excellence.”

Following the success of the priceless Clive Christian No.1 Imperial Majesty limited edition, the No.1 Imperial Jubilee Special Edition is placed in a red velvet lined presentation case. The bottle bears the image of the red ribbon which holds the official OBE medal granted by Her Majesty the Queen to Clive Christian in her 2012 New Year’s Honours list for his contribution as a Designer to the Luxury Goods Industry.

Only 500 of these limited edition perfumes will be created – 250 for Men and 250 for Woman. The “Imperial Jubilee” perfume will be released in June 2012.

The Clive Christian No. 1 Imperial Jubilee will retail for $1300 (50ml Concentrated Perfume Spray) and will be available at Bergdorf Goodman and select Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus stores nationwide, as well as online at www.neimanmarcus.com.




Clive Christian’s Scent of the Royals

Clive Christian perfume
Clive Christian

Agreed upon by most people who have experienced it, Clive Christian’s perfume “smells expensive,” and they were right.  At over $800 for 1.6oz, Clive Christian’s No. 1 Perfume for men and women definitely uphold the company’s boast, “The world’s most expensive perfume.”

Created without reference to cost, the No. 1 Perfume was created using the finest, most rare, most precious ingredients.  It was even awarded a gold crown of excellence by Queen Victoria.  Continuing the royal theme, the his- and hers- No. 1 Perfume were presented to Prince William and Kate Middleton as a wedding gift.

Its $865 price tag doesn’t seem to diminish the No. 1 Perfume’s popularity or appeal.  Since only 1,000 bottles are released every year, orders for it are limited to six units every 30 days.

Key attributes of the No.1 Perfume for women are serene and sophisticated with Indian jasmine, Tahitian Vanilla and rosa centafolia, associated with Aphrodite, Goddess of art, love, beauty and creativity.  The No.1 Perfume for men demonstrates an understated yet distinctive, ancient Indian Sandalwood and Arabian Jasmine Sambac impart the scent of an accomplished, uncompromising character.

At $310 per bottle, the 1872 Perfume was named as a tribute to the year Queen Victoria granted her crown to the House.  The X Perfume is clearly the most exotic and alluring scent in the perfume line.  It’s made with the notoriously rare Egyptian Jasmine gathered from the banks of the Nile.  It was rumored to have been used by Cleopatra to capture Mark Anthony’s heart.  The C Perfume is one of Clive’s personal favorites, jasmine, rose, and tuberose lend to its rich (pun-intended), romantic scent.

As the official Brand Ambassador for Clive Christian perfumes, Clive’s daughter, Victoria Christian will be touring the world and documenting her insight to the elite world of luxury travel.  She will, of course, also have her Clive Christian perfumes with her.
