Prepare to be whelmed. Not overwhelmed, not underwhelmed, just whelmed.
What can I say about Aqua Quorum? It’s fresh, has solid projection and longevity – especially on clothes – it’s neither gonna impress or offend anyone and it’s cheap as fuck.
This is probably mostly a fragrance for people who aren’t big fans of fresh scents, and just need something to get them through the summer. Especially those who aren’t big fans of citrus scents (the grapefruit is noticeable, but it isn’t sour and the juice doesn’t give a very citrusy impression), and for people who don’t like the melon notes that infest a lot of aquatics out there.
I’m a big fan of original Quorum, and I can tell you: If you’re considering buying this, because you think it’s going to be a summer version of that, don’t. It is most definitely not. Or do, it costs next to nothing, and you are probably not going to hate it.
The only interesting thing I cna say about Aqua Quorúm is, that the leather can be brought out if you wear it in conjunction with a leather based deodorant – like Ferrari Uomo for example. Then it suddenly becomes a fresh scent with a noticeable leather accord – and a quite nice one at that – which is quite interesting. If that sounds like something you might enjoy, go for it.
If you wan’t a blind reach for the summer, go for it.
If you wan’t something that doesn’t change one iota during the day, go for it.
If you wan’t a complex aquatic that’s going to turn heads, give it a pass.
And if you want something that’s going to look pretty in your collection, give it a pass as well – that lid is even more hideous in real life than it looks in the pictures.

60% Polo Sport
40% Eternity for Men.
Later in the drydown it becomes 40/60 the other way!
Wanted to like it but I didn’t. Not horrendous, but not for me!
roman_58 – :
I own a vintage bottle with a little juice left and i just purchased 2 new bottles in hopes to revisit the memories from Junior High back in ‘96. The smell of the new bottle is roughly 90% compared to the old one except as it dries down the new one tends to be linear while the vintage eludes complexity and depth, i suspect this is another classic case of reformulation (oakmoss). Same case as my old CH 212 vs new Ch 212 Nyc! Overall I’m still happy with this scent it puts me in a good mood.. nostalgia!
joker36 – :
What the..!!! Did I just got a better performing brother of Polo Sport? I need to give it some time but from initial sprays side by side, wow!
Aqua Quorum indeed smells like Polo Sport a lot! I have used Polo Sport both during original formulation and then the reformulation. I recently got again the original Cosmair bottle of Polo Sport. I also owned Calvin Klein Eternity, which I totally get how people may find certain notes similar.
Opening: I think here it’s the hardest to make a distinction between AQ and PS. They both open zesty fresh blast with citruses and levander. The prominent mint note in PS makes the only difference.
Mid: In 5 minutes, their directions start to differ slightly. Aqua Quorum keeps its simplicity, getting a wee bit warmer, rounded probably leather and amber playing a role here. The ginger, rose and artemisia in Polo Sport (hard to detect when smelled alone but easy while comparing to Aqua Quorum) gives a slight sourish note to the scent. I think at this point I am impressed by Aqua Quorum (keeping in mind as the underdog), it’s sweeter and warmer, and believing this could be where people get CK Eternity vibes. Funny enough, I even get hints of A&F Fierce somewhere here…Maybe Versace’s Dylan Blue too…Hidden in the deep, I get Cool Water notes at the same time.
Drydown: Is similar to midnotes in AQ, linear. All notes are now settled down but it still feels like a perfect blend of Cool Water, Dylan Blue, A&F Fierce and CK Eternity. THere’s nothing sour, sharp, dirty – it’s just warm and fresh, very clean. Polo Sport on the other hand, dries down woodier, muskier and that sourish note still lingering, I believe it’s still rose, rosewood and the artemisia note (like licorice, anise)! I never noticed this until comparing with another fragrance like AQ. Very interesting experience. At this point I can’t say they are similar anymore, but still comparable.
Overall, do not buy Aqua Quorum with hopes to get Polo Sport for cheaper. They are very similar in the opening, but then not so much which is the bigger portion of the journey. Polo Sport is simply way too complex and makes Aqua Quorum very linear in comparison.
If you need to make a choice, even though Polo Sport would be “my” first choice (as I have emotional bonds, being my first ever fragrance) I say go for Aqua Quorum. You can’t get this for this price out of anything else.

Personally I think anyone who thinks this smells like Cool Water’s ‘ad their brains scrambled. And I ain’t sayin’ that because I hate Cool Water. I love Cool Water, this just don’t smell like it. I DO get the Polo Sport comparisons, but call me a philistine, I like this cheap shit I bought from the weird pharmacy next to the good pharmacy better. I normally don’t get on with freshies. I own ‘em, an’ I wear ‘em, but I’m one of those blokes constantly chompin’ at the bit for it to get colder so I can wear me more dense and interestin’ stuff. This is a freshie that don’t bore me to tears, which straight away gets it ten house points. It opens like an over-chlorinated outdoor swimmin’ pool, which I know don’t sound appealin’ but it evokes properly vivid an’ specific scent memories out of me. Good ones. They make me smile. This thing makes me smile. As it dried down it goes to a weirdly dark place for a warm weather frag because of the oakmoss an’ leather, which gives it a bit more of a hairy-chestedness than a lot of the stuff it’d be shelved next to. I ain’t Basic an’ I don’t need to smell like I’ve wrestled a bear at every moment to feel like a man but the fact that this even looks in that direction sets it apart in its genre.
It might not smell like a typical freshie but you pretty much are gettin’ standard freshie performance from it. Five-six hours before it’s a skin scent an’ about ninety minutes hard projection before it starts drawin’ in. On me it stays a skin scent for a good long while though, an’ it’s a nice one. A good “Arms Round Each Other” skin scent if not a cuddle one because leather just don’t lend itself to that, at least not off me.
Cost me £11.95. For that price it’s astonishin’, an’ if you’re like me an’ you like the IDEA of smellin’ nice and appropriate when it’s hotter but most of your options make you wanna cry, grab it an’ keep it at arm’s reach.
krivcovsanek – :
Super close to polo sport and I have still have an old bottle of that almost empty. It’s like a very fresh smelling masculine crisp sporty soap I love it 8.5 out of 10.

Well well well, what a nice surprise this is. I stumbled across this on sale at a drugstore (how bad can it be), and posh that I normally am, I didn’t want to buy a cheap Puig cologne. What if somebody would recognise this? Although, if they would recognise this, they …….. But because it was so cheap, and the blue and yellow bottle suggested something fresh which I could use during the first heatwave in Holland this year, I bought it anyway. And I’m so so so very glad I did. Fresh, uplifting, great sillage and projection, smells much more expensive than it actually is. For day or night, going out, work or sports, multi useable. Very pleasant, summary smell, comparable to Cool Water and Polo Sport. This will be in my favourite top 10 for sure. Try it, buy it, blind buy it: no regrets, I’m sure!
Deroxkftfr – :
Proto-aquatics huh. Really not sure who made this scent but he deserves a pioneer badge of sorts. Similiar to Cool Water in a way but with none of that ambery sweet hijinks, further enhancing the feeling of freshness. The lavender here has a liquoricy bent and it adds to the composition. Great Quorum for beginners and an absolute steal when it comes to the price. Can’t go wrong with this line.
KiberYozhik – :
grapefruit a bit and lavender a lot.love it! smells a lot like blue bottle bod spray.i am not disappointed.now i can get that cut diamond bottle feel in my hand all year round.quorum original and aqua quorum.
valelele – :
Beautiful summer spring fragrance citrus sweet amazing value and quality you simply can’t go wrong with aqua quorum it’s my favourite from the puig collection the quality is better than. Many higher priced fragrances.
gospugg – :
On me Aqua Quorum is clean, fresh and crisp. It does have similarities to Polo Sport, but to me Aqua Quorum is more mature and masculine than PS. I usually do 3-4 sprays and I get great longevity. Also the sprayer on this is excellent! For the price, quality and performance it is well worth it to have a bottle in your collection and rotation.
macaulaytippins – :
Powerful and beautiful range of perfume!
Unique character, but not old-fashioned!
Aquas nature allows any age …..
I must say that the head of the ticket and up to match the Polo Sport fragrance of 1-2 hours !!!
And I am very glad of this, because I can not be another fragrance that resembles the Polo Sport on l !!!!
The funds are a little different, but when you look at the ingredients shows that the PS woody base, while Aqua Quorum skin stem – based musky me!
Both are fresh, sporty fragrance is really blue atmosphere unique and recognizable ..
Both fragrances market in 1994, in addition to the blue bottle is really the same !!
But the Aqua Quorum is much cheaper but high-quality !!!
It may be synthetic, you might not America … so what?
Antonio Puig has been plenty of evidence of the perfume industry and not at all “small name” in the market! A great deal !!!
jcdnhomep – :
Aqua Quorum is a fresh safe scent and that is one of its strengths in my humble opinion.
Begins with a citrus and Lavender blast (as chopshop states, the sprayer is fantastic) and helps keep the wearer cool throughout the day.
Gets compared to Cool Water and Eternity a lot, I can say from someone who uses Cool Water quite often that it is quite different to those fragrances, it feels more like a sporty fragrance. Is it classy? No, it’s for a guy looking to blend in, go about his business while smelling Clean.
Great summer scent, because of the Lavender it can be refreshing to wear at night too.
As with all Puig products very reasonably priced and good value.
chernov2000 – :
One of my all time favourites. It was accessible and classy at a time when I needed something cheap. One of the first Aqua fragrances I was aware of, and I still have a handy 100ml bottle lurking at the back… It’s so tall!
It’s neither the most refined, nor sophisticated but it smells wonderful and has been around for a majority of my life and I’m glad it has!
Medium in longevity and projection but big on class and distinction.
беляш – :
If you’re looking for a well-executed, easy-wearing ’90s sport scent, then Aqua Quorum is a safe bet. It’s not as ubiquitous as CK Eternity or Cool Water, but shares the same overall vibe, despite being somewhat different in execution. Arguably it’s the best of the three.
The opening is an intense, sharp burst of lavender and citrus. It has an almost synthetic tang to it. Only the casual nose will be reminded of a cheap supermarket deodorant, however – Aqua Quorum is made from quality ingredients. The overall effect is bracing and invigorating, although if you don’t like lavender, stay away – Aqua Quorum has it in spades.
After about 10 minutes the sharpness starts to fade away and a much more calming, soapy herbal scent emerges. This is where Aqua Quorum ceases being a generic aquatic scent and transforms into a clean, well-balanced aromatic fougere. I find it reminiscent of vintage CK Eternity. The dry down leads to smooth amber and oakmoss notes.
Projection is fair for a sport scent, and longevity is surprisingly good. It lasts about four to six hours on my skin, but for the last few hours it is very much a skin scent. Excellent for warm weather and safe enough for casual or office wear.
The bottle is stunning. Another reviewer compared it to “Art Deco retro-futurism” and I couldn’t agree more.
For the price, this is incredible value. Is it a truly great scent? No, and many may find it too generic. But for a low-cost sample of the invigorating sports scents of the ’90s, you can’t go wrong.
Unrerodooli – :
I agree with Shamu, to me Aqua Quorum smells like a cheapened version of Polo Sport with a splash of Calvin Klein Eternity in. It’s not bad for a casual aquatic but there are others like Bvlgari Aqua, Nautica Voyage, and even Polo Sport that I like better.
SOVESTLYV – :
★★★★
All I was looking for was an easy to purchase substitute to my beloved Polo Sport (since the current formula lacks the depth of the original and I don’t intend browsing ebay for it)
Aqua Quorum has a very similar aura that is masculine, sporty and summery while it still manages to smell less synthetic than other offerings of a similar kind.
Manly scent with a bright ozonic grapefruit opening slowly turning to a herbal fresh freesia and lavender beauty, making it a great fresh fougère that represents an aquatic idea without being aquatic. The drydown is mossy and ambery and ends everything beautifully.
Similar in vein with Guy Laroche’s Horizon, but not as bold and definitely more sporty.
Longevity is 6-7 with good projection in warmer days.
100% satisfied with the value for money, Aqua Quorum is here to stay!
*TIP: Apply the classic EU version of Nivea Cream (blue tin) on your body and layer it with this… Two words – Summer Lush.
ddr606speagoessenda – :
Aqua quorum was a great experience for me, I learned that I should never blind buy again.
dervish94 – :
Why is usable Aqua Quorum situations ? simple: in the gym, to go to the beach or pool , casual situations in spring and summer … Aqua Quorum has its moments and is ideal nostalgic and charming.
For price worthwhile if a sports and fresh fragrance will.
bjy161Bessinepome – :
Don’t let the Quorum name fool you. Unless you really like Cool Water with extra lavender and laundry soap, this is just going to take up space on the shelf. Not as much lavender as, say, Giorgio Wings, which is really pukey, but a lot of lavender. I can’t see any situation where I would want to smell like this. It’s like a room deodorizer being sold as a cologne. No thanks.
TorThyday – :
Nice and very pleasant fragrance. Very similar to Polo Sport and Joop! Jump. Doesnt project that well on me and becomes a skin scent quite quickly. Still would recommend it if it can be found cheaply. Very good Summer scent.
Zuboff – :
This is a secret weapon- an incredible scent with minimal investment. Honestly, if you were to stockpile bottles of Aqua Quorum in your closet, I would never judge you. Being a fresher, more potent Cool Water/Polo Sport concoction, it’s hard to go wrong. Has Acqua Di Gio’s projection range (decent moderate). Original smelling? Maybe not. Fresh and near impossible to dislike? Absolutely. Ugly bottle, cheaper than fill dirt at Home Depot, and zero pretension. But when the ladies and gentlemen in your vicinity smell it on you, you’ll notice them treating you a little bit nicer. How can you not be happier after smelling such a relaxing scent? Unlike other colognes in the price range (I’m looking at you, Old Spice Wolfthorn), it competes well with more expensive favorites in regards to longevity. Plus, the base notes are actually pleasant. And with a less than $15 price tag, there is zero guilt upon heavier application. If you only wanted one cologne bottle and didn’t want to spend a lot of money, how could you go wrong with this?
afonasiy79 – :
There are already some great reviews in the lineup for this fragrance. I’d just like to add that value wise, this is a monster. AQ can hold its own with any aquatic. The sprayer on this thing is a behemoth and I love it. It does reel in the compliments.
WLad2205 – :
Its smells very sweet and spicy. The citrus and floral notes is mostly what my nose pick up. Not sure why its dubbed AQUA since it doesn’t feel very aquatic to me especially or it only feels slightly aquatic due to the lavender freshness. Its a decent fragrance, I’d give it…
6/10 for longevity
9/10 for sillage
7/10 for scent.
fode-se – :
Not great but not bad. For the first 15 minutes it reminded me of Axe Phoenix but then it seemed to soften up. I got it at Target for about $10 and feel I got my money’s worth. Pretty casual scent.
annabanana – :
There’s something nostalgic about this that I just love. Yes, I get the Polo Sport comparisons, but AQ has a vibe of its own. I never wore it in the nineties, but it reminds me of the summer of ’92. Sunshine, waterslides, Ray-Bans, and girls. Seriously so good. This is the dumbest review I’ve ever written.
larafushka91 – :
I own an old bottle of Aqua Quorum and in my opinion if you smell something synthetic . It is not like Cool Water , but if Polo Sport. It reminds me also Bvlgari Aqua but less fine and subtle .
It has a slightly salty and floral scent.
It is a suitable scent for sports , beach or a day at the pool.
The length in my is long ( very long on clothing ) and potent enough to be an ” aquatic ” perfume sillage . Nothing fancy or thin in this scent , slightly synthetic but very good for its price (beware sprays , an excess can become overwhelming and even offensive )
My overall rating is 7/10 .
Svetlanciks – :
I have been revisiting some of my favorites from the 90s. This was one of them.
Still very good. I agree with many prior reviews. Longevity is moderate plus. This is one of those EDT’s where sillage is not powerhouse, but more powerful than you realize … easy does it on the sprayer.
I am not 100% certain but this may possibly have been reformulated. It could just be the passing of years, but my nose remembers more “aquatic accord” than the batch I recently bought – yet even back when it was introduced, I never would have said it was similar to Cool Water.
Now: what I get on my skin is a predominantly vanilla/minty essence with an undercurrent of aquatic citrus. And that is perfectly fine too. It is still uniquely what I remember Aqua Quorum being. It is just that the equalizer seems to have some different settings.
AQ is nicely blended; never overpowering (unless you get carried away with applying it); and versatile without being boring. Worth a try, especially for the price.
Long live the house of Puig.
mnasik2010 – :
A bright opening. A bit synthetic: a harsh citrus and strange florals. A vaguely menthol ambience at the beginning too? Something about it is making me think of a bathroom cleaner. Give it a moment though, and it really gets it on. The citrus and floral notes don’t hang around for me, and in no time have essentially departed. What emerges from this is a slightly soapy, and altogether drier scent.
Less like Cool Water; more like Guy Laroche Horizon. But much nicer than Horizon, I think. Aqua Quorum truly has a very nice drydown of leather, amber and oak moss. The trouble for me is that too many aquatics smell like antiperspirants. I’m not saying AQ does. It emphatically doesn’t. Just that it is a danger that goes with wearing them.
The opening doesn’t do it for me (at all). The drydown however does. I won’t wear this, mostly because other styles of fragrance are my preference. But if I was to share a car with someone wearing AQ it wouldn’t pose a problem.
Available at throwaway prices too. Perfect warm weather equipment.
Tiskzh – :
I actually had meant to buy Quorum Silver, which I may still try to get my hands on, but this stuff is at least serviceable. It smells cheap but not bad. It’s an OK sweet aquatic, sort of reminding me of Polo Blue but with more sweet, floral top notes rather than the dry cucumber. It has a moderate amount of the fruity (apple?) component of Eternity or the old Nautica Competition, and initially this gets more intense as it progresses. The fruitiness almost reminds me of the shampoo-like components of Grabazzi or Horizon, which is a minor annoyance, but I don’t find it to stick out as obtrusively as in those two. It’s a bit metallic, but not as much as a lot of sweet aquatics or herbals/aromatics on the men’s market. It ends up quite a bit soapier at the end, which I’m OK with, and keeps up its strength pretty well.
a-lek-s – :
I just purchased this cologne based on what I read here about reviews that it smelled exactly like polo sport and its true. This is BETTER than polo sport as polo completeley evaporates into thin air and this performs like a beast. One spray and thats all you need. Two and your pushing it. This is a true blue aquatic that has become my signature summer scent. Go out and buy it you will not regret it
MefBadiaimpep – :
Aqua Quorum has no resemblance to the original Quorum at all. AQ smells clean, fresh, a little fruity, and somewhat sweet… really brings back memories of Polo Sport. The main difference besides the cheap price is that Aqua Quorum performs way better.
In the midst of freshness, there’s a non-persistent sour note that doesn’t quite belong, but it is just brief. Some elements of Cool Water could be detected when the initial sharpness settles. In some reviews, AQ was even compared to Wings, but the latter is too sharp and highly synthetic, whereas AQ is softer, gentler, more natural, and smells ten times better off of skin.
Aqua Quorum is lively, casual, sporty, and versatile. A very pleasant scent to refresh with after a workout. Truly enjoyable and very easy to like. Blind-bought and will reorder again.
rimcici – :
Smells sharp, cheap, artificial and generic. Very boring and unoriginal stuff from the 90’s. Reminds me a cheap Adidas or Puma stick deodorant. Such a sporty mess! Longevity is about two hours. I will not buy it again.
Bessenera – :
Nice Aquatic but a little heavy on the cardamon. It does have similarities to Polo Sport. As far as 90’s aquatics go this is a nice non-cloying alternative to many of the usual suspects. For me there is something like a fresh bread dough in the dry-down – due to the cardamom note – slightly strange but somehow it works.
In my opinion this is an aquatic meant to be worn in cool weather but if your looking for a lone aquatic to wear this summer (because you don’t own one) and you don’t want to pay more than 15-20 bucks (because aquatics aren’t your favorite thing) it can still work for you.
Not overwhelmingly synthetic smelling – a gentle aqua with a subtle masculine moss & powdered dry-down. Let’s face it you don’t hear aquatic and fougere thrown out together that often so if you’re into unusual aquatic fragrances it’s worth a try. Surprising considering the low price.
effoviforpomy – :
Aqua Quorum is the Amanda Donohoe of fresh/aquatic fougeres, and wearing it immediately transports me to that little movie she made with Oliver Reed, where she trots around in the buff for no discernible reason. Yes, it’s that beautiful, and yes, it smells that wild and free. You don’t come across ostensibly “hum-drum” fragrances like this very often, I can assure you.
While I’m not on board with Cool Water comparisons, I see some resemblance between Aqua Quorum and Polo Sport, and feel that running out of one is adequately offset by having the other on hand. Aqua Quorum is, in no uncertain terms, a brilliant fragrance. When people slam the nineties and aquatics, it pays to remember that the aquatic genre, like all genres, bears some beautiful products, and this is one of them. I smell a bit of Calone in here, and another “fresh” aroma chemical that lends the composition a shimmery, wet, sweet aspect that smells at once salty and fruity. True to its namesake, A.Q. has a light sprinkling of pine needles and precious woods, with the greener notes sparkling through the breezy top accord of lavender, grapefruit, and freesia, and the “blond woods” in the base yielding a transparent cedar note, presaging Quorum Silver, to come eleven years after.
I like that they shaved a little piece from the original fragrance and inserted it into this summery fougere, and I like even more that it never devolves into a flat, gummy, synthetic washout, like so many of its peers. Aqua Quorum starts out smelling great, and ends up smelling great. Quality of ingredients is astonishingly high, given the price-point. Two thumbs, and two big toes, way, way, way up.
pimon – :
this smells nothing like coolwater. the only similarities is the colour of the bottle good luck. i have owned three bottles of this and two bottles of coolwater. coolwater is heavy in the vilet and woody and sea notes this is more of a floral citruss with a bit of aquatic feel. still a good scent but don’t buy this thinking it will smell like coolwater.
Glulsesaump – :
BBBB (Big Bottle Bought Blind)@ V (Valero (gas station)).
Quorum is in my top 5 and Quorum Silver my top 10. In my search for something appropriate to the heat and humidity of South Texas I decided to stay brand-loyal. My preference is very much contrary to most aquatics, though I’m trying… I just find them too feminine for me. AQ is, as instantjim states, less synthetic, more natural… there is even a slightly “off/vinegar” hint to the grapefruit that blends with the geranium. Much better fruit effect than the artificial melon in most “fresh” aquatics.
Unfortunately it only lasts 4 hours on my skin. However, it is positively tenacious on fabric and retains much of its citrus opening.
My quest is over. Between AQ and a Bvlgari or two I’m set for days too hot for my usual masculine bombs.

Cerdgo – :
I bought this blind a few years ago and never regretted it! To me it’s not an aquatic per se but more a ‘fresh aromatic fougere’ which can be used all year around actually but does best during warmer summer days as it’s very refreshing!
It belongs to the same genre as eg. Cool water, Eternity and Polo Sport and it has a little of all these frags combined and costs like 1/3 of the price of the others. It’s is compared mainly to Polo Sport, but AQ has no seaweed note.
It starts heavy and sharp and a little ‘alcoholic’ with lavender and flowers surrounded by grapefruit. The base of amber, leather and oakmoss do give a very masculine and spicy edge to this very fresh fragrance like the drydown of Cool Water has as well. This is far better than most aquatics thrown at the market last 15 years, especially looking at the price! It lasts for like 8 hours even and has above average sillage.
It’s versatile and 100% masculine! The only drawback I can think of is that it’s not that original as it seems it has copied and combined some of the best accords of Cool water, Eternity and Polo Sport together to create AQ but I don’t care. Note that this frag is nothing similar to it’s green brother Quorum!
Thumbs way up! Rated: 8/10

summer days, endless sun mornings…soaking…time for Aqua Quorum if you want to feel fresh and confortable…and the bottle, our blue sea and yellow sun alltogether
serj33 – :
@Zenith: Got to disagree with you there. The deep blue bottle and sunshine yellow top are fresh, cool & sporty. Love ’em!
@Murysusanto: New bottles of AQ are still widely available (in the UK at least) at bargain basement prices and smell just as good as ever!
HEWilliam – :
Surprisingly good, considering I can’t stand the original Quorum. Fairly fresh, but not light like a lot of modern mens fresh fragrances.
Also it has to be mentioned: The bottle. Ugliest thing I have ever seen. It looks like it uses 5 1/4 inch floppy disks and wears parachute pants
alisher130686 – :
Good stuff in the 90’s. Whatever is left on the market now probably ruined already although still left unopened but the juice reacts to aging. Unfortunately I wish there’s a decanter for outdated frag so you can have it like the original on the year produced!
Well it’s not…
I’m missing the aquatic notes, it’s one of the best then.
RIDAKO2 – :
Out of the bottle… Polo Sport 101%.
Dry down, it does start to change. It leans more towards Cool Water. This ones a no brainer. Cheap enough that you can walk past Polo Sport/Coolwater for AQ instead, and not regret the purchase. Definately an “every day” scent. Perfect for summer.
One of my workhorse scents, along with Eternity Aqua, Eternity Summer circa 2012, and TB Very Cool, when the heat is on.
olegua55 – :
For me, this fragrance is pretty decent. I have never smelled polo sport but own both wings and cool water and I see the comparisons with both. AQ is nothing special or original, but for the price is a solid cologne. It starts off very synthetic and strong but after about 5-10 minutes smooths out and smells fresh and quite lovely. On me, it doesnt last very long (about 3-4 hours) but again, for the price, it’s not a big deal.

Aqua Quorum = Polo Sports by Ralph Lauren 75% & Davidoff Cool Water 25% with lots of mint. This what it smells. This one is great summer scent. Projection is light but people can smell u, The projection stays 3 to 4 hrs. The longevity is 6 to 7 hrs. If u like polo sports with mint touch , this one is lighter version of it. Worth trying.

OK aquatic, polo sport is much better and refined. it was a blind buy, because i love polo sport. After all just a boring aquatic. Smells cheap

Yes definitely a fruity aquatic and a nice fresh summery ozonic scent. Longevity and sillage very good. Reminds me of Wings by GBH, but Wings has the edge on AQ. This is an inexpensive fragrance but it’s great.

Thank God this underrated bargain fragrance has finally made an overdue and welcome appearance on this site.
In my opinion, AQ does pretty much anything that Cool Water or Aqua Di Gio can do, yet is nowhere near as well known as either. In other words: it’s near on perfect :))
v41078015 – :
This is a sport fragrance, and though I normally can’t stand sport fragrances, this is a good one. It smells almost identical to Polo Sport, only without the pineapple.
I like Aqua Quorum because it smells so bright and cheerful, and it never fails to lift the spirits. It smells pretty generic (i.e., “fresh”), but the zing of the lavender and citrus is hard to resist. It has a good drydown, which is aromatic and spicy, and manages to maintain the freshness you get in the beginning.
Aqua Quorum gets its freshness from the lavender, geranium and herbal notes, not from chemicals, and I like that. It also projects very well and lasts a long time, always a plus.
Aqua Quorum isn’t a great scent because it smells so much like other sport fragrances, but it’s done well and smells good. The price can’t be beat either.
MY RATING: 7/10

This has been likened to Cool Water by some people I have read and I can understand why, but I don’t totally agree. Both are fresh fougere fragrances, but there is a difference. Aqua Quorum is better. The difference between Cool Water and Aqua Quorum is most pronounced early on: Cool Water smells much more synthetic, while A Q smells natural and quite clearly fougere-ish. It is much smoother than Coolwater and at least to me more leafy/floral vibe wit
