Brocard Status Quo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Status Quo opens with Mandarin, settles into a heart of Leather and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Akigalawood, Immortelle, Patchouli, and Ambergris. Brocard's Status Quo carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a bold, modern leather scent that’s a bit of a chameleon. Some find it rugged and assertive, others discover a subtle, sophisticated charm. It’s certainly got character, which means it might not be for everyone, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore it.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Built on leather, animalic and herbal - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The strong leather and animalic accords, along with potentially good performance (given it's an EDP and the notes), make this less suitable for a confined office environment. It shines on dates and formal occasions where its depth and sophistication can be appreciated without overwhelming.

About

Status Quo kicks off with a zesty mandarin, a surprisingly bright start considering what's to come. Soon, a rich, dark leather accord takes centre stage, softened beautifully by the apricot-tinged floral sweetness of osmanthus. As it settles, an earthy patchouli and the unique, hay-like sweetness of immortelle emerge, all underpinned by a woody, slightly ambergris warmth. It's animalic, a bit spicy, and absolutely commands attention.
