Perfumers
"Quercus is a fresh citrus and green chypre built around a bright, sparkling opening. Lemon, lime, bergamot, and mandarin create an uplifting introduction with a clean, transparent character. Lily of the valley and jasmine soften the heart, while cardamom adds a restrained fresh-spicy nuance. The drydown shifts toward oakmoss, galbanum, sandalwood, musk, and amber, giving the fragrance an earthy, woody foundation. Despite its classic structure, Quercus remains easy to wear and polished rather than heavy or old-fashioned. Its overall personality is elegant, understated, refreshing, and distinctly mossy-green."
