Via Camerelle Carthusia for women

I don't undertand why this fragrance is feminine, for me smells a man aftershave, is very pleasant and green, but I gave it to my husband and he loves it.

Clean and citrus. I am back in Italy when I wear this one. Easy on the nose. Would be great for daytime.

Via Camerelle is interesting in the sense that it's a citrus scent which leans more towards a bitter and green side.

I find this scent very unisex and I think it's great for Summer, particularly when on a vacation. This perfume is rather distinctive and in some ways, herbaceous.

The herbs and citrus thankfully blend well, creating a very unique and pleasing scent. It's quite concentrated with an odd dampness which dominates in the heart and the drydown.

Although bitter scents aren't really my cup of tea, I enjoy smelling Via Camerelle, probably more so on a tester card or someone else's skin other than my own.

The drydown was actually quite salty to my nose, it also reminded me of the scent of dry cat food. I must add that I like both of these smells, so it wasn't as repulsive as the description makes it appear to be.

Via Camerelle is not my favourite from Carthusia as I like their much sweeter, more feminine offerings, however there is nothing unpleasant about this little gem. In all honesty, this is the most unique from the six I've tried.

Tested out the EDT. This is a beautiful citrus/floral aromatic.

The opening has a lovely spicy citrus opening which is fleeting. The soft floral middle notes open delicately to bridge the citrus notes with the warm woodsy musk finish.

This is a scent that stays close to the skin and would be perfect for a nice spring/summer day or in an office setting.

Smell of sunny citruses, bitter herbst and salty amber - interesting, but the staying power doesn't impress :( Three, maybe four hours, that's all.
