Fodor's Expert Review Carthusia

If you're looking for something that's easily portable to take back from Capri, then eau de toilette, potpourri, or perfumed soap might be just the thing. Carthusia has been making perfumes since 1948, but—as they will proudly tell you—the tradition of perfumery on the island stretches back hundreds of years to the days of Queen Giovanna of Anjou. You can see the perfumes being made through a window at the factory, close to the Certosa di San Giacomo.
