Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Quercus EDC
A sparkling rush of citrus and green, Quercus is the ultimate crisp-shirt cologne: refined, discreet, and effortlessly uplifting. The longevity is modest, but the clarity and British charm are unmatched.

Our Verdict - 003 French Yuzu EDC
This isn't just a citrus cologne, it's a brisk, eye-opening slap of yuzu and green notes that manages to be both refreshing and sophisticated. A proper mood-lifter, even if it doesn't stick around all day.

Season and Occasion Fit

Quercus

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Brilliantly fresh citrus and green notes make Quercus ideal for spring and summer, where its clean effervescence shines. Its light airy character fades quickly in cold weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Discreet projection and a crisp, uplifting profile make this perfect for office and casual daytime. Its non-intrusive sillage suits sport and active settings, while lacking the gravitas for formal evening.

003 French Yuzu

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Built on citrus, green and white floral - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its light, clean, and energising citrus-green profile makes it perfect for casual wear, office environments, and even a post-gym refresh. The modest longevity and sillage mean it won't offend in professional settings but might not make a statement for formal events or romantic dates.
