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 herbal-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.

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.
