Under Charles II of Spain and the Bishop of Anacapri at the time, battles, brutal pirate raids and intrigue within churches hung over European daily life. However, in the just-reopened Carthusian monastry, the seeds of an important new age have been started.
In 1681, shortly after the rebuilding of the monastery, the Carthusian monks of Capri began producing perfumes, which they created using herbs and spices from their local landscape. Artisanal craftsmanship and natural processing play a central role in the fragrances, which until today are based on the flavors and aromas of the island.
1681 is a bottle of citrus woody fragrance. This elegant fougère begins with notes of citrus, bergamot and rosemary, embellished with lavender and black pepper, followed by a contrast of cedar, sandalwood and frankincense. This bottle of classic perfume has become interesting. It is a classic perfume that requires enough appreciation of perfume to understand. It does not project modern style, nor it does not look old-fashioned. 1681 is fascinating with great vibrant character and seducing classic scent.
