What does Quercia smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter and summer further behind. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Voters read it as somewhat more masculine, though some call it classic and others modern.

Lavender opens it fresh and green. In the heart, patchouli and vetiver add an earthy, spicy depth. Oak wood settles into the base as a dry, woody floor, while the floral and powdery facets stay in the background and soften the whole.
