Fragrance information:

Quercus Penhaligon's arrived in 1996 — and it was immediately clear this one was here to stay. By character, a masculine fragrance drawing from the chypre family. The talent of Christian Provenzano is written all over this bottle. The fragrance belongs to the ambery, citrus, and whiteflower groups. A fragrance from the Gentlemen's Fragrances collection, in eau de cologne.

Country of origin — the United Kingdom: no wonder the fragrance turned out this refined. Quercus Penhaligon's unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The olfactory structure of Quercus is shaped as an expressive line of development, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Penhaligon's is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de Cologne supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.

From the first breath you detect invigorating sunny first notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Lime and Mandarin. Exactly these 4 notes build a burst of citrus freshness that gives the fragrance a clear opening statement.

When the opening settles you notice Cardamom, Jasmine and Lily of the Valley carrying a creamy tuberose direction.

The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Musc and Wood with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Amber and Spicy add depth to the backdrop.

At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Ambery, Citrus, Whiteflower and Spicy. It also reaches into Green, Earthy / Mossy, Wood and Musk.

Overall Quercus reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best judged through real development.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Very high (more than 12 hours)
5
Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Very conspicuous
5
Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
