Classic in a modern outfit

Now I have actually read through all the statements to Quercia and am actually the only one with my association to this beautiful perfume from Acqua di Parma. My husband wears Quercia today already the second day and the fragrance suits him great. We both like it. This Italian oak reminds me of a fragrance I know very well. Then last night, the long-awaited eureka. Tabac is what I first think of when I think of Quercia. Now please don't be alarmed. It's not a fragrance twin at all, but that aura that surrounds Mr. Polly when he wears Quercia, I know it too well.

When I was a teenager, Tabac was sometimes in high demand among young gentlemen. Probably one or the other imitated his father or grandfather who had already worn this fragrance. Others reached for this classic because it is still reasonably priced today. Mr. Polly's grandfather had also worn Tabac since it came on the market. And I can't help but think of a very nice older gentleman I know from a riding stable when I think of Tabac.

Looking at the scents of both perfumes, I'm not surprised why I find them similar. We have 2x bergamot and petitgrain in the opening as well as rose geranium in the heart and also 2x a concise oakmoss note. Therefore, my nose (and Mr. Polly's as well) draws certain parallels. Now, of course, Tabac is a classic from 1959, while Quercia was launched in EdP concentration only two years ago. And yes, those differences do show up olfactorily.

Already in my statement about Quercia I let it be known that this mossy Italian is an absolutely modern fragrance. It gets that modern edge from a lush addition of cardamom (a note I tend to go weak over, especially on men), a dash of tonka sweetness in the base, and patchouli. Tabac, on the other hand, features a concise lavender note and also neroli, something we don't find here. The clay note blends in very nicely with Quercia. At no time does the fragrance develop sweet or even sultry overtones, which I like very much. Probably because the sweet tonka bean has found the right counterparts here with earthy patchouli and of course the powerful mossy base.

An all-around beautiful, fresh, traditional fragrance that has been given a wonderfully modern twist, I think. In the radiation, he is very well perceivable, but completely without nerve potential, but with wonderful understatement. At the same time it can score with a very good durability. Clearly a recommendation - for young and old, of course!

Many thanks to Medianus76 for the sample.

Italy holiday

Every year I spend a short holiday in the south of Italy,
with the family of Don Alfredo,
a cherished habit.
Already my parents were friends with his family
and we played as children until the hot sun gave way to a balmy evening.
Meanwhile Don Alfredo is in his early 40s, an attractive man Stable as an oak, he is now the head of the family.
His warm, brown eyes flash cheekily as he takes me in his arms to greet me.
On his cheeks I smell the finest cream made from olives from our own harvest.
As always, Don Alfredo is perfectly dressed.
He leads me into the backyard of his palazzo The tangy scent of ripe citrus fruits blends with Alfredo's herbal and masculine scent.
At the tables his wife, beautiful, in a white pantsuit is waiting She welcomes me, like the rest of the family, a huge family,
related to each other over many corners.
There is a lot of activity,
all talking at once, shouting at each other across the table.
Don Alfredo and I sit in the still warm moss and talk about old times.
Life is good, it's a holiday I'll be staying another week
and then until next year.

Quercia - The Oak

The venerable gnarled oak. It has been standing on the light-flooded hill in the shimmering summer mixed forest for centuries. It has seen a lot over the years, and time has left its mark. Deep furrows in the solid bark, the trunk hollowed out by other creatures. Yet the strong branches are broadly branched, and the root system leans deep into the earth.
Its resilience has made it what it is today. Mystical and mysterious, it is considered the king of the forests. Since time immemorial, she has been attributed to the supreme deities, embodying strength, power and constancy in full drives
Many legendary tales entwine around her figure, and her heroic appearance has always drawn people to her in the forest!
The oak symbolizes a strong and self-sufficient resting place...

*

*
Quercia also embodies a beautiful haven of calm for me. A fragrance that bears the name of such a stately tree, that wants to mean something. However, Quercia is certainly not to be equated with a classic forest fragrance. Rather not at all! Nevertheless, a closer look for me can very well build an olfactory bridge to the oak...

The fresh and citrusy reception reveals a consensual presence. Authentic is the prelude, just as an oak just. No sooner have I made myself comfortable under the treetop, joins this wonderful, soft spicy veil of Quercia. It gives the fragrance lasting space and the necessary depth. The wood of the tree lives, it breathes, which is expressed by the superbly balanced tart, slightly edgy woodiness. Coupled with a mordant sweetness, the impression is of a tree in bloom. Certainly plays here the tonka bean as well as the cardamom a few bars with.
The ancient trunk is covered with oak moss, which gives the fragrance this very special and magical aura. Oak moss always breathes a subtle and inconspicuous magic into the fragrances, and awakens the green spirit of the forest, so to speak...

Thus, the fragrance is able to create in a light-footed and elegant way, through individual aromas an interlocking fragrance panorama. He acts at no time artificial or even intrusive. The durability and sillage are appropriate, several hours the fragrance is a pleasant companion in pretty much all situations. Uncomplicated, pleasing and yet unique and special!

Shinrin-yoku stands for the Japanese "art" or therapy of "forest bathing". The stay under large old trees or the stay in forests leads according to these considerations to more well-being and strengthening of the immune system! In this respect, this would be a perfect occasion to enjoy Quercia, and relax under an old oak tree.
Voilá - the reference to fragrance and tree would thus be established.

Italian elegant lightness

Hello, this is the first comment I write on Parfumo. I'm not the great writer and I can't break down a perfume into its individual fragrances. But I think to judge a fragrance that almost anyone can do.
When I was on holiday in Tuscany a year ago I spent a beautiful day in Florence. While crossing the famous Ponte Vecchio, a man and his wife, at least 10 years younger than me, met me. Both top dressed and looking very nice. As they passed by me I suddenly smelled a fragrance that I have never smelled in this way before.
A certain freshness paired with a subtle sweetness
And something slightly woody. But so perfectly matched that the fragrance really fascinated me. Somehow mysterious, interesting and attractive.
I didn't know which one it was, but it didn't matter This means for me that it can be worn by both men and women.
Back in Germany, I immediately set out in search of this fragrance. Sniffed my way through all the perfumeries without success. During this time I bought other great fragrances like Tom Ford's Oud Wood and Creed Aventus A week ago I went to a new perfumery. It had reopened and had as one of its niche brands Acqua di Parma. I smelled my way through every bottle. And then I held the Acqua di Parma Quercia bottle in my hands. 100 cc's of fine black. Quercia means oak in Italian. I gave myself two sprays for a sample and waited a few moments and smelled it. And the first thought was Florence... Pointe Vecchio... The couple. Elegant ..Mysterious ..Sexy and attractive. Bull's-eye.
Immediately taken 100 ml for 205 Euro. A smaller bottle is not available from Quercia. Now I have it.

Sillage super. Is perceived positively by others.
And the durability is absolutely super. Lasts up to 8 hours.
I can only recommend this fragrance of lightness mysterious and slightly sweet woody scents may only recommend..
I would never make a blind buy at 200 euros anyway. But the scent is definitely worth it.
Thank Florence.

My Italian Tailor Made Spray On Suit

When I applied the fragrance for the first time, the parcel carrier had just caught me on the way to the sport. So once briefly sprayed on and off.
My first impression was: Uff the initial Zitrik meets me full and is not yet unnaturally pungent. But then comes after a short time the tart wood with a subtle and subliminal sweetness. It really smells like freshly cut wood to me and yet is pleasantly wearable. Quercia gives me a feeling like only an Italian tailored suit gives you, it has no stiff shoulders but a flowing silhouette. You don't need to wear oxfords with it, a loafer fits just as well. I think it also suits someone in their mid-20s.
And yet I have at sports so no Italian tailor-made suit on, rather the opposite.
During the training meets me again and again a scent surge and the goes me no longer from the nose.
Afterwards, off into the shower. But even then I still have Quercia in the nose. So it has already passed the endurance test of sweat and the subsequent shower.
Later I sit down at the desk and smell Quercia again and again. It is now 8 hours since the application passed. So slowly I have the feeling that I'm imagining it.
Towards afternoon my girlfriend comes home. She also perceives the scent when hugging. But now Quercia is close to the body, it rises but still from time to time in the nose. I still smell it as I lie in bed 12 hours after the first spritz.

After extensive testing, I have found that the scent lingers in my clothes for weeks. In addition, as long as you apply it fresh and then sit in the car, it is still clearly noticeable the next day.

The fragrance is certainly not for everyone, but who is looking for an Italian fragrance that is unique and perhaps wants a woody-fresh fragrance times, Quercia must try.
My signature fragrance he is definitely!
