Olivier Durbano Pink Quartz is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Olivier Durbano. Pink Quartz opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Ginger, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Rosewood, Rose, and Palmarosa, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, Clean Musk, and Benzoin. Olivier Durbano's Pink Quartz carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Divisive yet intriguing, Pink Quartz is for those who dare to venture beyond the usual. It's a shapeshifter, a complex rose scent that some find captivatingly elegant, while others are left wanting more oomph for their buck.

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:
Spring Fall

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

With its long-lasting performance and strong sillage, this scent is perhaps too prominent for a conservative office, yet it's refined enough for formal events. Its unusual character makes it a standout choice for dates, offering a sophisticated edge that is not overtly casual.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Pink Quartz opens with a bright, almost sharp, burst of bergamot and grapefruit, swiftly spiced by ginger and saffron. The heart unfolds into a sophisticated rose, not a sweet, jammy one, but a drier, more ethereal bloom, supported by the woody nuances of rosewood. As it settles, a clean musk emerges, mingling with warm amber and benzoin, rounded off by an earthy patchouli and the balsamic depth of myrrh.
