HOW IT WEARS
Carthusia Lady is a beautiful Eau de Parfum that will give you around 6 – 8 hours of longevity on the skin. The more obvious opening notes of rose, carnation and bergamot (among its enormous bouquet of others) giving way eventually on the dry down, to a little bit of chypre, soft amber and musk for a sophisticated air of light powder at its end.
LORE LOVES
We love how this fragrance creates an aura of old school charm and classic grace. The harmony between the chypre, amber and myriad of complex florals is a reminiscent nod to the true classics, even if it was created in 2011. An old school classic for the millennium. Like a dust of powder puff in your cosmetic case. Yay!
ABOUT THE BRAND
