Acqua di Parma Quercia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Quercia opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Petitgrain, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Cedar, Geranium, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Tonka Bean. Acqua di Parma's Quercia carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Quercia is a divisive one: a modern take on an old-school masculine fougère that swings from gorgeous complexity to synthetic mess, depending on who you ask. When it hits right, it's a classy, sensual head-turner, but the dry-down can be a gamble.

About

Imagine a brisk walk through an ancient oak forest, dappled light piercing through the canopy. Quercia opens with a zesty burst of bergamot and lemon, sharpened by pink pepper. As it settles, warm cardamom and sturdy cedar emerge, softened by geranium. The base grounds you with earthy patchouli and rich, sweet tonka bean, enveloped by a deep, resonant oakmoss.
