Playfully Sophisticated Solid Perfume

There’s something about solid perfume that makes it feel much more youthful than its liquid counterparts. Perhaps it’s the portability and lip-balm look that give it a casual feel. But if there has ever been a truly sophisticated solid perfume, it’s Fiori di Capri by Carthusia.

Everything about this handcrafted fragrance emotes Italian refinement, with a combination of countryside and cosmopolitan appeal. Botanical through and through, with an amber base, Fiori di Capri is a soft, cloudy combination of wild carnation, lily of the valley, oak, peach and ylang ylang. The blend is inspired by a Medieval recipe, and the result is a mysterious melange suitable for any grown-up.

And yet, in balm form, it feels simple, playful and girlish. Delightfully, the dichotomy of its aroma and presentation make it all the more intriguing, giving any wearer an enigmatic air that enhances the various facets of her personality.
