Penhaligon's understands the emotive power of scent. It can unlock memories and open doors it can stop us in our tracks, lost somewhere for a moment in time. The fragrant adventure began in the Victorian era of decadence and carries us into the future as Penhaligon's strive to create original scents for the discerning eccentrics of today. True modern dandies and bold women who are proud to go their own way. Created in 1996, Quercus declares itself with a light burst of citrus and basil, supported by a heart accord of jasmine, cardamom and muguet that is sweet, spiced and supremely delicate. The greenness of the basil persists into the surprisingly resilient musk and sandalwood base notes. These are warmed through with moss and patchouli to create elegant, strong and uplifting cologne. Named after the Latin for the British Oak, Quercus is a modern and invigorating cologne enjoyed by both men and women. Perfumer: Christian Provenzano.
