The fine oak
Colonia Quercia - a cologne enriched with oak, oak wood, oak leaves. My expectation for this fragrance lies somewhere in the wood sector. Not heavy, depressing, dark wood, however, but oak. Bright, clear, pure
And Colonia Quercia does not disappoint me. Typical of the brand is a fresh start for practically all Acqua di Parma's. What I smell, apart from the ever-present citrus notes, is a surprisingly good portion of bergamot, which is not at all dominant but rather resonant. Wood? At least at the beginning I don't notice any of that. Less than an hour later, the fragrance has undergone a very fine transformation. The bergamot is only faintly perceptible and makes room for wooden tones. And this in a very successful way, because the lemon gives the whole ensemble a nice freshness. Another hour later, the fragrance develops one step further. The overall impression becomes a bit drier, I suspect that this is due to the increased influence of wood. And towards the end, in my case in about 7-8 hours, the dryness turns into a soft creaminess, before Quercia finally says goodbye.
What gets stuck. A fine fragrance, not for everyone and not for every day. From the brown Acqua di Parma series I find this one the most successful. Because it is incredibly independent and unmistakable. Who does it suit? Normally I find fragrances more for younger or older people, this one suits everyone, no matter what age. Season? Well, in my opinion it's a bit too full for summer, too warm. Quercia is at its best on cooler days in spring or autumn, it ennobles every outfit in winter as well. The flacon is in AdP style, as I said in this brown tone that identifies the series, no visual excitement, but okay to look at.
Shelf life and sillage are ok, although the sillage could be a bit stronger for my taste.
A fine fragrance that subtly supports its wearer's appearance without disrespectfully knocking everything else off left and right. Not mainstream, not even a special offer. But mMn worth every cent.
