The legend…
… remembers that in 1380 the father prior of the Certosa di San Giacomo, taken aback by the news of the coming to Capri of the sovereign Giovanna d’Angiò, prepared a collection of the most beautiful flowers on the island; those flowers remained for three days in the same water and when it was time to throw them away the prior realized that the water had acquired a fragrance that was mysterious to him, so that he turned to the religious scholar in alchemy who identified the origin of that perfume in the “Garofilium silvestre caprese “. That water was the first perfume of Capri.

History…
… says that in 1948 the prior of the Certosa found the old perfume formulas, under license from the Pope, revealed them to a Piedmontese chemist who thus created the smallest laboratory in the world calling it “Carthusia” that is “Certosa”.

Today
