Pascal Morabito is the house behind Grey Quartz EDC. It comes as Eau de Cologne.
The style of Grey Quartz
The strongest accord is ozonic (100%), followed by aquatic and leather. You will probably like it if you enjoy ozonic and aquatic smells and notes like violet leaf and leather. Less obvious notes include tangerine, nutmeg and patchouli. Perfume fans rate it 4.10 out of 5.
Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is summer. It is less suited to fall. Ranked by season: summer, spring, winter and fall. If you need something for fall, Montblanc Explorer Extreme is a better fit. Its fresh smell feels good on warm days.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. Dior Fahrenheit and Montblanc Explorer Extreme last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like leather and vetiver are the part that stays longest on the skin.
