Carthusia’s celebrated Terra Mia Eau de Parfum is a deliciously gourmand scent with a gentle bouquet of white flowers to add an extra hit of creamy warmth. Terra Mia finds its ultimate expression in the tradition of a land rich in sun. In Terra Mia the sweetness of coffee is combined with Hazelnut, Vanilla, Neroli, Pink Pepper and Amber Woods to create delectable memories of Capri. Velvety sweet notes mingle with earthy richness to create a wonderful ode to the land of Capri. As Terra Mia translates to ‘my land’, this fragrance is grounded in earthly delights.
The Neapolitan artist Lello Esposito designed for Carthusia an exclusive Pulcinella (classical character) that gives a new face to the packaging and expression of this original fragrance.

HOW IT WEARS
Terra Mia is an Eau de Parfum that will most certainly give the wearer 6 – 8 hours worth of longevity on the skin (more if you’re lucky). The riches of warm, earthy spice, coffee, hazelnut and woods here combine heartily with a touch of sweet white florals, enveloping you invitingly the entirety of it’s wear, from opening to ultimate and delicious end.
LORE LOVES
We love the way this fragrance immediately whisks you away to an exotic European café. Terra Mia means my land in Italian, so it’s not really a stretch to be transported to such a place upon first whiff of this glorious gourmande. A destination rich in robust aromas, where coffee and café treats mingle with the delicate note of warmly sunned, white floral air. Sweet, deep and vibrant. Delizioso!
