Carthusia - Profumi di Capri Legend has it that in 1380 the father prior of the Carthusian Monastery of St. Giacomo was taken unaware by the news of the arrival of the Queen Giovanna D'Angio' to Capri, and so made a flower arrangement with the most beautiful flowers of the island. The water was not changed for three days and, when the flowers were thrown away, the prior noticed that the water acquired a fragrance unknown to him. He went to the father alchemist who traced the origin of this scent back to the "Garofilium Silvestre Caprese". That water became the first perfume of Capri. Selected stockist of the renowned Carthusia - Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette for him and her.
        FLORIS London, the Art of Fragrance Perfumes are created using a subtle blend of fragrance ingredients, which can loosely be divided into top, middle and base notes. A fragrance will change from when it is first applied, after ten minutes, and then after an hour or more - during this time the different notes which compound to make the perfume come into play. These develop at different rates, with the top notes giving way to the longer lasting middle and base notes to reach the heart of the fragrance. One of the best ways to extend the longevity and increase the intensity of a fragrance is by layering it throughout the bathing and moisturising process - to which Floris products are well suited. John & Duxbury are pleased to be currently the only place in New South Wales to have Floris available - stocking the range of women's and men's fragrances.
