What do reviewers say about Quercus and Reserve Collection: Italian Cypress?
The opening citrus is sharp. Some people want that brightness to last all day. It doesn't. And honestly? That's the point. The drydown is where Quercus becomes itself, warm, mossy, close.Quercus
The mint and galbanum opening isn't gentle. Some people hit that first 20 minutes and bail. But if the green, herbaceous character clicks, it becomes a signature.Reserve Collection: Italian Cypress
