Carthusia is deeply connected to the island of Capri—where history, landscape and tradition come together. Its origins are rooted in the legend of the monks of the Certosa di Capri, with a heritage that spans centuries, from the time of Queen Giovanna d’Angiò to today. The brand remains in the hands of the Ruocco family, Caprese for generations, who continue to preserve and honour this legacy.
Just steps from the Gardens of Augustus, Carthusia operates what is often described as the smallest fragrance laboratory in the world. For over two decades, the house has focused on expressing the essence of Made in Italy within niche perfumery—combining heritage with a clear, contemporary vision.
Tradition and craftsmanship remain central. Each stage of production is carried out by hand, respecting natural methods and ensuring a high level of care and precision.
At the same time, Carthusia looks outward—sharing the atmosphere of Capri with the world. The scents reflect a place where nature shapes daily life, and where fragrance becomes a quiet expression of Italian style: refined, understated and always in pursuit of balance and quality.
