Carthusia Terra Mia ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 10 October 2017 6 Comments

Carthusia Terra Mia

Italian niche brand Carthusia will launch Terra Mia, a new unisex gourmand fragrance.

Here is Bergamot, which with Neroli and Pink Pepper greets lively, almost a song. Or is it the laughter the mask of Pulcinella provokes? Rose and Jasmin fill the air, quick, a hint of a lenient season which here lasts longer than elsewhere. And leaves room for coffee – drunk or ‘suspended’, sospeso – whose aroma surrounds everything and greets the passers-by, often conjuring with the Hazelnut Accord and the Orange Blossom Absolute. They are the merry characters of a certain indulging which springs from tradition and conquers palates and hearts.

It clings to memory through Vanilla and the Amber Woods one can find in places, objects, icons of this land, as seen in the dim light of days filled with sun. These are church and aristocratic mansions’ doors, the furniture of timeless gathering places, the replicas of that popular mask which makes you laugh and cry at the same time, in a whirlwhind of opposite, complementary emotions. [sic!]

Terra Mia was developed by perfumer Luca Maffei. Additional notes feature ambroxan and musk. 

Carthusia Terra Mia will be available in 50 or 100 ml Eau de Parfum or 50 ml Parfum.

    Had a hard time with the copy but love the packaging! I don’t think I’ve tried any Carthusia yet though.

      I don’t understand why brands use what must be machine-translated copy, but clearly they do!

    The notes sound pretty good.

      Hazelnut + coffee + orange blossom sounds really good to me!
