Description
Santa Maria Novella Quercia Eau de Parfum is a refined woody aromatic fragrance that pays tribute to the strength, longevity, and quiet majesty of the oak tree. Created by the historic Florentine house founded in 1221, this composition reflects centuries of botanical tradition while presenting a modern, minimalist interpretation of natural elegance. Launched in 2024 by Santa Maria Novella, it is designed for both men and women who appreciate grounded, nature-inspired fragrances with clarity, depth, and understated sophistication. Versatile and timeless, it is suitable for all seasons and transitions effortlessly from day to night.
The fragrance opens with a fresh and aromatic note of lavender. This opening is clean, calming, and slightly herbal, offering an immediate sense of balance and serenity. The lavender introduces a gentle brightness that feels both classic and modern, evoking the image of sunlit fields and crisp, open air. It sets a composed and elegant tone that prepares the senses for the deeper, earthier structure of the fragrance.
At the heart of Quercia lies a rich and textured blend of patchouli and vetiver. Patchouli brings an earthy, slightly dark green depth that adds complexity and warmth to the composition. Vetiver contributes a dry, smoky-green freshness with mineral undertones, enhancing the fragrance's natural, grounded character. Together, these notes create a sophisticated woody core that feels both rugged and refined, capturing the essence of forest soil and sun-warmed roots.
As the fragrance settles, it reveals a powerful and enduring base of oak. The oak note is dry, woody, and subtly resinous, evoking the strength and permanence of ancient trees. It provides structure and longevity to the composition, anchoring the aromatic and earthy layers above it. The result is a balanced and harmonious dry-down that feels natural, stable, and quietly commanding, lingering close to the skin with understated elegance.
Santa Maria Novella Quercia Eau de Parfum is a versatile woody aromatic fragrance that embodies purity and strength through simplicity. Its minimalist structure allows each note to shine clearly, making it ideal for those who prefer elegant, nature-driven scents with a timeless character.
