Quasar Classic

by Paulo Cesar Fonseca

O Boticário Quasar Classic is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1990, created by Paulo Cesar Fonseca. The fragrance opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Lavender, Galbanum, Sage, and Tarragon, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Musk.

Our verdict on Quasar Classic: Favourite

A Brazilian classic that's been watered down over the years. Once a signature scent for many, it now sits as a lighter, more common take on Cool Water, divisive in its performance and uniqueness. Great for a casual spritz, but don't expect fireworks.

About

Quasar Classic opens with a brisk, invigorating burst of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin, making for an undeniable fresh citrus hit. This quickly flows into a green aromatic heart where lavender, galbanum, and sage intertwine, lending a clean, slightly herbal complexity. The dry down is a woody-mossy base of sandalwood, patchouli, and oakmoss, wrapped in a whisper of musk, providing a classic, masculine finish that, while pleasant, fades into subtlety.
