Launched in 2019 and created by François Demachy, Quercia Eau de Parfum by Acqua di Parma is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that embodies the essence of Italian elegance. The composition begins with bright citrus notes from Calabrian bergamot and lemon, which cut through the warmth of pink pepper and cardamom. As it settles, petitgrain and geranium add a fresh green touch before transitioning into a rich base of cedar, tonka bean, moss, and patchouli. This blend creates an aromatic warmth that is both earthy and sophisticated.

Application Tips
Given its moderate longevity and sillage, two sprays are sufficient to capture the essence of Quercia. The bright top notes fade after an hour or so, making it ideal for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet distinct presence.
