Inspiration

The 1681 number is not a coincidence; marks the year in which the prior of the monastery of the Capri Cartuja, based on the botanical knowledge of the monks, laid the foundations of what ever would be Carthusia. This fragrance pays homage to the austere monastic and military environments of the time, capturing the smell of old scrolls, closed gardens and sacred smoke from ceremonies.

What makes this perfume special

• Its spectacular treatment of iris: away from the female cosmetic profile, it makes it dark, dusty and manly.
• The realism of its incense chord, which evokes the silence and majesty of a sacred enclosure.
• It is a rarity in the Italian niche perfumery, demonstrating that the Mediterranean style can also be smoked and melancholy.

Expert tips: the art of perfumer

The "Blooming" of the incense: Smoked notes and sandalwood are released with majesty in contact with body heat, especially in cold environments. During the winter, apply 1681 at the pulse points sheltered by your clothes (like the inside of the chest or the elbows fold). When removing the outer garments, it will only release a burst of incense and iris dust spectacularly intoxicating.

Fixation in noble tissues: The affinity of this fragrance with classical tailoring is insurmountable. Vaporize a leverage mist in the inner lining of a suit, a cold wool or a raincoat will ensure that the most dry, herbal and male facet of the composition lasts intact for a whole week, projecting a luxury unwavering.

Layering opposite: 1681 has a peso and an enviable opacity. If on spring nights you want to lighten your earthy gravity a little, superimpose this fragrance with a perfume of pure lavender or from dominant bergamot. The extra citrus will cut the density of the incense, revealing a much more luminous and ethereal version of the Italian iris.
