Quercus Eau de Cologne
A bright citrus-green Eau de Cologne with a clean, elegant lift: lemon, mandarin, and basil lead into soft lily of the valley and jasmine, then dry down to oakmoss, amber, and patchouli.
Scent Development and Character
Quercus opens in a brisk citrus-green style: lemon and mandarin give a bright, clean lift, while basil adds an aromatic edge. The heart softens into lily of the valley and jasmine with a cool cardamom thread, and the base settles into oakmoss, amber, and patchouli for a dry, grounded finish.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
Best suited to daytime wear and warm weather, especially office, casual, or travel settings where a light, polished scent is preferred. Its restrained projection makes it easy to wear close to others. Best in spring and summer, with some early autumn use. Sillage is Soft to moderate; noticeable nearby without strong room-filling projection. Longevity is Moderate-short; typically around 3 to 4 hours on skin for an Eau de Cologne style.
