1681 - Eau de Parfum | Carthusia

The scent genuinely lasts through a full workday, which I wasn't expecting from such a light-feeling spray. The first hour is bright and almost salty, then it settles into something soft and warm that I keep catching on my own collar.

I've worn it on both warm evenings and cool mornings, and the way it settles into my skin changes beautifully each time. The lasting power is solid too, still noticeable on my collar after a full work day. It's become my go-to for that island escape feeling without leaving home.

I was hesitant about the price, but the moment I smelled it I understood. It's got this luminous, sun-warmed quality that instantly transports me back to a seaside terrace, and it lasts through a full day of meetings without turning cloying.
