Inspired by a Piedmontese legend of a giant oak, this cologne seeks to capture its vitality. The central oakmoss sounds great at first with the citrus and aromatic notes, but as it evolves, the florals and citrus fade, revealing an acidic character that attempts to mimic the moss but fails spectacularly: it smells too synthetic and unbalanced. The longevity is good and the trail moderate, but the dry-down is disappointing in quality. Acqua di Parma has done little justice to that Piedmont oak. Rating 3.

There are negative reviews about this fragrance. Taste is very subjective, but to me it seems sublime. It’s harmonious, well-structured, and of high essence quality. It has its own light and I can’t find a similar scent nowadays. On my skin it has good longevity (approx. 8 hours) and moderate sillage. High price but it’s exclusive and distinguished. A woody aroma with sweet spices stands out, very pleasant and subtle. Cedar gives it body and masculinity, while tonka with cardamomo adds exoticism and modernity. From this collection of concentrated colognes, it’s the one I like most alongside Mirra, the latter being darker and more oriental. It goes very well for a date or going out at night. It’s formal for work, suit and tie style, very pleasant and empathetic. A superb perfume, of Italian elegance and seduction. Nocturnal, formal, and brilliant.

Masterpiece, but like the whole range of the brand, little longevity and little projection.
I am a fan of Acqua di Parma and adore their dark line. Faced with the dilemma between Sandalo, Ebano and Quercia, I tested them on my skin to avoid regrets. Sandalo and Quercia made it to the finalists (Ebano did not disgust me), but I chose Quercia. Why? It smells strong, even very strong. The opening is potent with notable freshness, with pepper and cardamomo very present. I apply little of it because it can be overwhelming. Like all in the line, it is elegant and not a popular scent (I would not shout it in a stadium). I know there are days you will not want it, until you hate it, but you return to it for its strong personality. The bottle will last me years; it is not for daily use. My daughters do not prefer it and the eldest only finds it ‘interesting’, not conceiving it for her twenty-year-old friends. In summary, it is a great fragrance, not always easy and sometimes reluctant to accompany your day.
I’m a fan of Acqua di Parma, especially the dark line. Faced with the dilemma between Sandalo, Ebano, and Quercia, I tested them on my skin, having been burned by emotional purchases that turned out to be something else.

I apply little because it can be overwhelming. Like all in the line, it’s elegant, not a popular scent (I couldn’t get it acclaimed in a stadium). And, to be frank, there are days you don’t want it, even until you hate it. But you return to it: what a strong personality. I predict the bottle will last me many years; it’s not for daily use. It’s not my daughters’ favourite; although the eldest finds it “interesting”, they don’t conceive of wearing it on friends of 20 years. In summary, it’s a great fragrance, not always easy and sometimes reluctant to fit the day.
I like it. I wouldn’t say I love it, but its trail isn’t spectacular. It smells quite unsynthetic, which is a plus, but I wouldn’t pay the over 200 dollars it costs here in Mexico. The good of having tried it.

It felt very weak and of poor quality. The typical citrus notes lasted only ten minutes; they were pleasant but neither particularly noteworthy nor realistic. There’s an unconvincing green/mossy note alongside the geranium. Then comes the worst part: the dry-down with tonka and coumarina is overwhelming, leaving a flat, cloyingly sweet, and tiring base. Very ‘generic’. I wasn’t sure if it was an AdP or an Armani Code. The longevity is decent but it clings to the skin almost from the start. Let’s admit it: Acqua di Parma haven’t been a great perfume house. They had some interesting offerings and their moment of ‘hype’ thanks to the tired Hollywood star theme (Ava Gardner, Cary Grant), but little more. Adding the damage (thanks LVMH) to their classic cologne, now almost unrecognisable… this one has disappointed me greatly. I expected something fresher or leaning towards a barbershop vibe, but that tonka threw me off.
Acqua di Parma Colonia Quercia is an excellent quality woody fougère. I saw a review on YouTube and wondered if it was as special; it confirms it. Bergamot, oakmoss, cedar, and tonka bean are the notes that stand out most. The quality of the ingredients is top-notch; it’s worth every penny. Nowadays, nothing compares to it, at least from what I know. Even the oakmoss is slightly superior to that in Chanel’s Antaeus, which I’ve heard about and my father owned years ago. The good: it smells like a damp but sunny forest, with bergamot at the start, followed by alternating cedar and oakmoss. The tonka bean is perceived as a support, without dominating or becoming cloying. It makes you feel like an important man with Italian elegance. The bad: it’s discontinued, although there is an Eau de Parfum version I don’t know about. It’s expensive and requires saving up. Being an Eau de Cologne, the longevity isn’t huge, but it lasts between six and seven hours. If you like oakmoss, it won’t disappoint you, but try it first if you can.
It seemed very weak to me. Of very poor quality. Typical citrus notes that last only 10 minutes, nothing particularly noteworthy or realistic. Pleasant, yes. A green/mossy note is added, not very well achieved, along with geranium. Now comes the worst part: the dry-down with tonka and coumarin in bursts, a flat base, overly sweet and tiring. Very “generic”. I wasn’t sure if it was AdP or Armani Code. The longevity is decent but very skin-scented from the start. Let’s admit it: Acqua di Parma has never been a great perfume house. It had interesting things and its moment of “hype” due to the Hollywood stars issue, but little more. Adding the damage (thanks LVMH) to its classic cologne, now almost unrecognisable… this one disappointed me greatly; I expected something fresher or more barbershop-like, but that tonka threw me off.
Acqua di Parma Colonia Quercia is an excellent quality woody fougère. After watching a review on Christian Parfum’s YouTube channel, I wondered if it lived up to the hype, and it certainly does. The standout notes are bergamot, oakmoss, cedar, and tonka bean. The ingredient quality is first-rate and truly worth every penny. In today’s perfume landscape, nothing I know of compares to it. Even the oakmoss feels slightly superior to that in Chanel’s Antaeus, which I smelled recently and my father owned years ago. The good: it smells like a slightly damp but sunlit forest, with bergamot at the start, followed by cedar and oakmoss alternating in the spotlight after half an hour. Tonka is perceptible but only as a supportive base, never dominating or becoming cloying, creating an interesting and uncommon blend. Without a doubt, it will make you feel like an important man with Italian elegance. The bad: unfortunately, it’s discontinued, though there is an Eau de Parfum version I’m unsure has been reformulated. It’s a bit pricey and requires saving up to afford. As an Eau de Cologne, the longevity isn’t as prominent, lasting around six to seven hours. If you enjoy oakmoss, it won’t disappoint, but it would be wise to try it first.
Very good fragrance. It has that fresh, citrusy opening typical of the brand. After five minutes on the skin, you notice woody notes, oakmoss, and patchouli. The first hour is very pleasant, then it becomes creamy and strangely sweet. It’s elegant, balanced, and of high quality. Projection and longevity are moderate, typical of the brand: noticeable for two hours, then it lingers as a personal bubble for another two hours. In my opinion, it’s very good, in the same category as Leather or Oud. Recommended for daily use, perfect for the office, for men aged 25 and above. Scent 8.5/10, Projection 7/10, Longevity 6/10, Sillage 7/10.
Very good fragrance with that fresh and citrusy opening characteristic of the brand. After five minutes, it settles on the skin revealing woody notes, oakmoss and patchouli. The composition is very pleasant for the first hour, then it becomes creamy and strangely sweet. It is elegant, balanced and of excellent quality. The performance is typical of the brand: moderate projection and longevity. It is strong for the first two hours, then stays in a personal bubble for another two hours before becoming almost invisible. To my taste, it is very good, in the same category as Leather or Oud. Recommended for daily use, perfect for the office, for men from the age of 25. Scent 8.5/10, Projection 7/10, Longevity 6/10, Longevity 7/10.
Does anyone know the difference between Quercia in the black bottle versus the brown one? I own the black and love it, but I’m worried the brown might be something entirely different. Thanks.
Is Laura Biagiotti Roma Uomo your style? It seems like a ‘fougérad’ copy of the classic 1992 Acqua di Parma.
@Crazyolor, if you haven’t tried Leather, you’re missing out on something special.
