It’s autumn. Go get this and wear it!
Sure it’s old fashioned. Sure it could use some updating but HOLY COW, this is autumn in a bottle.
I just got back from a long walk, kicking leaves down the street and then raked the yard. I put this on and it’s like I hadn’t come inside yet.
Lemon – Artemesia – Pine – Jasmine – Oakmoss, that’s my journey with Quorum.
I am a little surprised that I don’t get the longevity out of this as the opening might promise, but it’s still good enough for the price. Not sure about other’s experiences, but I don’t get any leather although it’s noted in the pyramid. Fine, I’ve got Aramis for that.
Maybe it’s this day, but good grief this is a perfect fragrance to wear at this time of the year.
Dig-Ing It!
OniMAD – :
Leather, pine, citrus, oil and mandarin are my first guesstimates. Then in my opinion this one settles with that pine-leathery, tobaccy and sandalwood type of mixture, which leaves a pleasant forestlike aftertouch. I remember the odour a little differently when going a couple of years back in time. Doesn’t last ages on my skin and perhaps as time passes the perfume begins to reflect too spicy notes. On the other hand the bottle transforms into something that smells like I want it to. A fine woodsmanlike addition to the collection.
boris246 – :
Bought this as a blind buy. I think it’s merely ok, I don’t love it or dislike it really. At it’s best, it can smell like a pine forest combined with talcom powder drydown. At worst, a pine based cleaner. However, it is not bad, I think it’s generally blended well, but I’d describe this as just “OK” One for the colder weather, and for mature men.
Sergeykin116 – :
It was the first perfume I put as a young man in 1984 was wonderful in the days. I tried to try it from about two years the same fragrance, but it is no longer suitable for these days
sharons – :
I am a very heavy user of old power house fragrances for men; there are 5 scents that are my all time favourites: ARAMIS, QUORUM, BOGART (SIGNATURE), POLO (GREEN) and GIVENCHY GENTLEMAN but when I want to give a brake to my conservative style I wear then AGUA BRAVA, AZZARO, , HALSTON Z14 and BRUMMEL……but ARAMIS, QUORUM and BOGART (SIGNATURE) have been my battle horse since I can remember, it was at the end of 1981 when I bought a 50ml of QUORUM and I was so impressed and pleased of how manly, strong and full of character this fragrance was; so sharp-deep and the scent of tobacco, oakmoss, pine, leather and greens were so intense that you needed just a small amount on the palm of your hand (the fragrances for men those days were splash on eau de toilette, eau de cologne or/and aftershave) so you didn’t need too much of QUORUM as the intensity of this fragrance was so strong to remain on the skin and cloths even to the next day, since then I’ve got hooked to this eau de toilette and for a very long time I used just the aftershave as it seemed to remain very long on my skin then there wasn’t a need for the eau the toilette; I was lucky I found a vintage bottle on Ebay so I had the chance to compare the vintage with the current re-formulation; there’s no doubt that the vintage original formula is much more powerful and full of body than the new version of it, although you can use the new formula and as alternative there’s a box set of eau de toilette and aftershave that comes with “oakmoss” and “tree moss” still in its ingredients that gives to the fragrance a bit of the old smell from the past (you have to check the box to see if those two ingredients are in the formula) as I found 2 of those sets and bought them; it gets closer to the original when “oak moss” is added to the formula, it gives a very deep and manly direction of the fragrance and will make it last for the whole day as I tried myself and found with oakmoss the eau de toilette and aftershave easy gets much bigger longevity and projection.
pity all those manly power house fragrances have been changed to the point of destroying and damaging the character and personality of these pillars of men scents; I had the chance of wearing and enjoying many of those fragrances that came out in the late 60s to middle of 80s when the cologne or aftershave still were in their original version, still some of those fragrances remain close to the original production but if the companies carry on with the reformulation many of those gems will be lost.
maxiprodigital – :
Current formula is seriously horrible. This perfume should be discontinued for good
bio127speagoessenda – :
The new formula smells like sour laundry at the bottom of the clothes hamper. It is a shame. This was a monster and now it is gone. If you have the chance to buy any prior version, it should not be missed.
cax436speagoessenda – :
I am sure that a recent reformulation has finally killed this one completely. My bottle from about 4 years ago was great then I bought two bottles a year ago and it was completely neutered and the smell comes off sour and limp. Disspaointed it was a great 80s scent
BitoSighdiugh – :
I have bottles of the EDT and Aftershave lotion, both around 2 years old. To me the Aftershave lotion is much richer and deeper. The EDT has a slight synthetic edge to my nose. Using both together works well.
УУУУвася – :
I had my first Quorum in the early 90’s and I loved that bitter, piney smell.
Now I’ve acquired what I assume is the latest version of it and I detect no difference and I still like it.
I’m trying to determine what the note in that bitter-sweet opening is but the list, above, isn’t a help.
It reminds me of some flowers my dad had growing by our front porch when I was a little boy. To my mind, at that time, they were nothing more than weeds with orange blossoms.
They had a bitter smell that was unpleasant to my candy-oriented smeller. I remember wondering why they were allowed to grow there; who would want them?
I’ve looked at a lot of flowers and the closest I can get to them is Marigolds but the flowers of my memory were only, perhaps, a half inch in diameter.
This is a keeper in my book.
ladar58 – :
Look at my Fragrantica Wardrobe… I still don’t hesitate to wear this, even in the current formulation. That should speak volumes about this fragrance alone.
anuhaler – :
My dad gifted me his bottle from late 80’s batch .
this is pure love in a bottle very vintage fragrance close to Hugo Boss No.1
mari_90 – :
Hahaa @crowleysviles, great summary! I completely agree. It’s a castrated synthetic dreck. That, plus crap! The Industry has gone from quality to quantity starting some 20 years ago.
Ooh, and don’t forget the idiots association for ruining all fragrances (or IFRA)…
I’m glad I got a big box of pure essential oils including the Mother of them all: oakmoss!
Pure, concentrated, undiluted, thick, beautiful steam-distilled oakmoss oil…
Choke on that, Mr. IFRA man.
Vtg Quorum: 10/10
Current Quorum: 2/10
meraTweri – :
I managed to get hold of a small vintage bottle, the comparison to my 2014 bottle is astonishing. The vintage is refined, smooth, like wearing a quality leather jacket. The new version is like a pretend leather rip off, cheap and synthetic. My last review criticised the fragrance, unfairly, in its original form it’s a classic, the price tells the story of the recent pretender. Cheap.
plw260speagoessenda – :
Can somebody quote me?
But , do the reform bottles show a solitary embossed hexagon, instead of the numbers on bottom of bottle? New formula also added Vegetal Alcohol, which reminded me of lilac aftershave at first but threw off the original notes through drydown enough to where I’ll be enjoying my remaining vintage bottle or 2 left and will not replace further. Unless i run into a vintage somewhere. Other classics in the same league will fill the void all too well..
Classic formula
10/10
New formula
6/10

@Knightofwands. Why they get away with it is depending on two reasons. !/ There is no strong voice of users. 2/ Because of sites like this.
alexklim1983 – :
I’m lucky (old) enough to have experienced these scents in their original form. Sadly this one is not anywhere close to the original. How some of these companies manage to survive butchery and dishonestly on this scale is a mystery to me.
I never use the reformulation card unless I absolutely have to. They really have ruined this, Kouros, Jazz………… – I could go on and on!
mader_8 – :
Damn I think they might have killed quorum , my newest bottle I got (got it early 2018) is much more stupid smelling than the one I had from 2 or 3 years back. It seems like it doesn’t know who it is anymore, there seems to be less of that warm, Spanish,leathery , mossy, shaving cream type smell in it. So what’s left is like very confused and hardly pleasant at all. Malditos bastardos !
dio96 – :
One of my old favourites!!!
I have not wore it since around 1992 so nostalgia got the better of me and bought a bottle in Amazon (100 ml EDT)
Do I like it still?
Yes!
Is it how I remember it?
No!
The original (this is either reformulated or a fake) was an absolute beast performer and used to smell a lot fresher (this is a lot more sweeter) and lasts about 30 to 90 minutes depending on temperature
Do I regret the purchase?
Absolutely not!!
Is this perfume still good?
Definitely!
Is this scent dated?
It is a classic
8/10
PS the original formulation as I remembered reminded me closely of the green Polo of 1978… This one does not
BGA52 – :
Ahh..Sadly writing this review as I expected something else. Usually I like powerhouses and don’t mind perceptions like old men’s scent, outdated etc. But Quorum does not feel like giving any option, it is too bold and powdery to be a selection for anyone under 50. (I regularly use Azzaro PH, Drakkar Noir, Aramis Havana and recently got and liked Zino Davidoff)
It smells very earthy and tobacco gives that natural dirtiness to it. Pine of course easy to detect and oakmoss as well with a base of barbershop powder you get from the start.
The scent itself is not bad at all, just not fitting to my current taste or age. But hey, maybe it will grow on me.
For the price, quality of ingredients, performance, there are no words of course. Deserves an appreciation to say the least.
ali-1998 – :
Blind-bought it thanks to all the superlative comments on Fragrantica and Basenotes. If it hadn’t been so cheap, I would’ve been very disappointed, to say the least, because it literally made me sick. From the cap, the scent seemed actually quite OK, it was soapy, piney, and with some depth. But on my skin, it turned immediately into something horribly rancid and sour. To my nose, Anthracite is a summer breeze compared to Quorum. Tried to wash it off, but this was easier said than done. Post-scrub soapy and piney “underlayer” wasn’t actually bad, so it might be the top and middle notes reacting with my skin in some abominable way.
udusernamef6 – :
At first oakmoss , then tobacco and oakmoss after about 2-3 days powdery beast of a cologne I like it
lxj442Diobtetty – :
Kesinlikle beğendim. Bu kadar kirli ama güzel bir koku pek bulunabilecek bir çalışma değil. Her koleksiyonda bir adet şişesi bulunması gereken gerçek bir güzellik.
Koku ilk 2-3 saat iyi bir yayılıma sahipken ardından tene yakınlaşıyor. Farklı ve etkili bir yapısı var. Tam bir maskülen ve kirli bir koku. Ancak kokudan tiksinemiyorsunuz. Kirli ve hayvansı kokuları seviyorsanız kesinlikle bu koku tam size göre. Ancak denemeden almamak ve kokunun bir genel beğeni kokusu olmadığını belirteyim.
alexbergman – :
This classic perfume would be right at home in Don Corleone’s collection.
Strong, mysterious and elegant. Once the somewhat sharp opening cools down, you will be rewarded with Quorum’s warm embrace. At that moment you realize why this scent still mesmerizes fragrance wearers after more than 3 decades.
In terms of silage/longevity, Quorum puts other designer scents that easily cost 10x more to shame.
Reciverboy – :
They say some fragrances smell like money. This one smells like GREED. It’s Ebeneezer Pour Homme. GORDON GECKO FOR MEN. It’s leery an’ it’s brash an’ it’ll chuck ya down a flight of stairs for stearin’ at it’s woman an’ throw a fifty down after ya for makin’ it’s night more entertainin’. It’s rose with a knuckleduster an’ a five figure lawyer on speed dial to get it out of any sort of trouble it might get into. It’d go Purgin’ if ya let it.
… I like it a lot.
sem.stepanov2011 – :
I would classify this as a “powerhouse” scent from the 80’s. It’s bold, it’s in your face, it’s loud, and it’s a beast.
I get a lot of pine tree and citrus up front, with the oakmoss and leather giving those notes a more grounded and earthy character. At times this fragrance reminds me a lot of Sung Homme in its green/soapy clean presentation, and at other times (especially during and after the dry down) it reminds me of the original Polo with that heavy pine presence.
As you might expect, yes, it projects a long way, and it lasts for a long time. Go easy on the trigger, and save this one for a sophisticated night out with a suit and tie and a glass of scotch.
exratesenmoscu – :
My father, who is now 81, wore this in the 1980s. He loved this stuff and put so much on you could smell him a mile away. My mother became so annoyed she ended up cutting the fragrance with alcohol to stop him. Anyway this can never be a young person’s fragrance to me because it reminds me of my father and it is right in league with “Members Only” jackets.
rimlynin2009 – :
The opening is very different. Smoky damp leather. After 15 minutes the oakmoss rises. I notice a very slight smell of citrus, bitter/sour, more grapefruit than lemon. The citrus mostly crosses your mind as it fades. I did not notice it until it was going away. This is mostly brown and slightly green.
This is masculine. The smell is primal and stirs ancient feelings. Sleeping next to a crackling campfire after tracking mammoths and bison or aurochs. Quorum makes me feel no need for utensils. EATING ROASTED TIGER MEAT FROM MY SPEAR. A real Alpha Male scent. It would make sense if it was called Conan the Barbarian.
Ruccatmutty – :
I give a try Quorum today and surprisingly it doesn’t outdated! A cologne a bit old school with smell of old fashion powdery as background and feeling as same as many 80s men colognes. It open with strong fresh and sharp “pine+bergamot” that so green and become deeper mossy on middle (it smells like anti-bacterial soap). The longevity and projection is good and performance all days long with 3 sprays. Good for a man age over 30+
Meotn473Negeltzex – :
Quorum is the smell of a camp in the woods, preferably on a lake. with mountains.
Incandyabob – :
Quality: 2.5 out of 5 – The scent is OK; it smells good after 6 hours, makes a lasting impression but may be off-putting to many.
Originality: 5 out of 5 – There’s absolutely nothing else I’ve personally smelt like it.
Projection (Sillage): 5 out of 5 – enormous; People smell you from afar. I applied 2 sprays either side of my neck/ears and 2 to the front of my shoulders over my clothes – too much! I would go with 2 to the skin next time.
Longevity: 5 out of 5 – very long-lasting; easily over 9 hours.
Versatility: 2 out of 5 – You can only wear this on specific occasions, and particular times of the day (evening) and year (Autumn/Winter). I would perceive it best for over 40+ males.
Value: 5 out of 5 – If you like it, it’s cheap. I myself would put the £13 (for 100ml) towards something I actually love.
Packaging (Bottling): 3 out of 5 – The bottle and sprayer are functional, but nothing special, aesthetically.
Overall Rating: 2 out of 5 – Mediocre – It’s not bad, it has it’s fans but I’m not one of them. It’s quite nice on the dry-down but it took 6 hours for me to smell something I liked. If I smelt this on someone after they had worn it for that length of time, I would have bought it. The issue is that for 6 hours, you smell so over-the-top. I believe this fragrance can be worn by people without discriminating tastes or fragrance collectors but I can’t see it being for others.
Recommendations: Sample this because it’s lovely and a very different scent after 6 hours but otherwise I can’t recommend it.
HordbaroHot – :
Quorum is pretty rare where I’m from so I’ve always known it to be priced at around USD 50. You can imagine my shock upon seeing it priced way below that figure in discount chemists around Sydney.
Anyway, this perfume has great performance in terms of longevity and sillage. I would have hated it when I was younger, but anyone who’s been around perfumes will be able to appreciate the depth and strength of this one. To me, Quorum communicates maturity, straightforwardness, and – oddly enough – a hidden hobby or interest. It’s a fragrance that lays it all out in the open but gives you a nagging feeling that there’s something else beneath the surface. (That, or I might just be too imaginative. 😉 )
Despite those positive descriptions, I could only rate this as a hard “like”. It’s something I’d wear to give an impression, but not one that I think would represent myself.

2nd Review
I don’t seem to reach for this one as often now. Its strong and pungent. I prefer Aura for casual day use and reach for Tsar for evening use.
Its a good performer but just does not feel right for me now.
INDERYDEP – :
I am not sure, maybe I got a bad batch, but this stuff is horrible. I bought this blind purchase, thought I would like it, a lot of positive reviews, style of cologne I wear. This stuff smells like a dirty nursing home, old and moldy, dirty, with sharp bitter smell to finish it off. My wife thought it was a joke, there was no way a cologne could smell this bad. I sprayed a shirt, two sprays, one on each side, after washing it twice you can still smell it on there a little. I enjoy wearing cologne, have a lot of choices, 150+ I own, there is nothing that comes to close to this horrible smell.
romeo236 – :
I recently began to study men’s classics. Vintages are great, blah blah blah, but reformulations are what’s available to try for free. So I went to Perfumania at the mall. The shop assistant was a perfume goddess who made great recommendations and labeled every tester strip before spraying it. I got the testers and kept them at home for a few hours before triaging them. Everything went in the trash except for the most favorite. Among about 20 other things, I tried the current formulations of:
Azarro pour Homme
Drakkar Noir
Boss #1
Aramis
Paco Rabanne pour Homme
Van Cleef & Arpels Tsar
Geoffrey Beene Gray Flannel
Antonio Puig Quorum
Based on how the drydown smells on the card 24 hours later:
Azarro: unpleasant sharp synthetic wood accord
Drakkar Noir: watery and weak
Boss #1: nice, but nothing special
Aramis: strong oakmoss drydown, but a little grating
Paco Rabanne: delightful and fresh, lightly aromatic and a little flowery
Tsar: unremarkable, meh
Grey Flannel: euw, violets
Quorum: PRETTY MUCH THE BEST THING I’VE EVER SMELLED.
I went to eBay and bought a 1oz splash bottle of Quorum EDT. Some poster said “EDT’s are for girls” right?! ;p It was even cheaper than usual because the box was damaged. What a great surprise that this damaged box has only three ingredients on it! Yay!
This stuff is amazing and it’s my new gender-bender favorite.
Why has nobody discussed the name yet??
Quorum: “the minimum number of members of an assembly or society that must be present at any of its meetings to make the proceedings of that meeting valid.” -Oxford Dictionary
I think this implies that by wearing Quorum, nobody can get anything done without you–you are necessary for the function of the group. Once you show up, problems are out of the way and things start moving along. A powerful position.
tomahawk06 – :
Think barbershop,but with a twist.
Why I say that, isn’t because this stuff is modern smelling, no- I’m saying it because it’s not as much of a powerhouse as some reviewers would have you believe.
So is it potent when it opens? Yes,but there is no offensive note present during any stage. Which gives the illusion of something much tamer.
Its very verdant on 1st application. I think of a fistful of crushed autumn leaves, when first taking it in. Earthy yet a little sweet.
The sweetness is honey, and you just don’t expect to smell it in this 80s icon. It’s there, but playing in the background.
This stuff is amazing. It plays second fiddle to my favourite: Tabac.
And did I mention that this stuff is affordable??
I hope I did.

Having been transported to another dimension, I was glad I had applied Puig Quorum just prior. I found myself upside down in the world where you walk on the sky and look up to the ground. The people in this dimension had just crowned me most eligible inter dimensional traveler of the year Quad 4.D. The women in this dimension found Quorum irresistible on me. Or maybe it was my hairy face, or the way my hair stood up while I walked upside down on the sky. The disco square twirled as we tripped the dark fantastic all day short. Everyone asked me to bring bottles of Quorum back on my next visit. This stuff is out of their world
selt85 – :
Strong fragrance, woody,leathery, tobacco-ish kind of smell. Somewhat similar to YSL Kouras or atleast is of the same bandwagon….100% Masculine fragrance…also for guys above age 30…….Opening is good, middle is ok…drydown is better than both.Overall a nice fragrance…4/5
jelob – :
Very strong, generic and synthetic smell. It is also somewhat pungent and irritates my nostrils. You get what you pay for. I got a new bottle from reputable mortar & brick store, and I had to throw it away! I guess this is the trend for the so called “cheap gems” that so many people like them… It is just not for me !!!

I visited a shop today and saw four 30 ml bottles of this scent displayed. I inspected it and found that this is the vintage formulation. (Made in Spain at the bottom of the bottle.)
This is essentially how male fragrances smelled in the 80’s. Powerful, but not necessarily offensive. In the vein of Polo (original version), sweet, herbal, earthy, tobacco-ish with a touch of suede.
People who have been raised on “clean ” scents (aquatics, mainly citruses) may not like this.It’s complex and definitely a male fragrance.
On my skin it starts with grapefruit, artemisa and bergamot. Oakmoss is definitely in the background, and comes to the fore around 15 minutes onwards. Pine, tobacco, jasmine complement the scent at the heart. The drydown rounds up with amber, patchouli and suede.
I sprayed on my arm and even the couple who were at the same time testing newer fragrances had to look over and ask what the name of the scent is. The female said it’s more suited to a 30’s and above man. Her husband said his boss had a similar smell – probably Polo – successful and confident.
To make the long story short, I bought 2 bottles, (gave one to my son) and 5 hours later am still sniffing my arm as I write this review.
Woody,earthy aromatic. Lasts easily 6 hours with one spray, longer if sprayed on clothes. 8.5/10.
P.S. Spray sparingly. It is strong, and too much induces nausea and might offend those around you.
P.P.S. If you are lucky enough to encounter Alain Delon’s Iquitos, buy it!
It’s may remind you of Quorum, albeit it is more complex and (to my nose) more satisfying.
loammaTiGj – :
I wore this back in the 80’s,
i’d get dressed, check myself out in the mirror, tidy up what needed tidying and then look at my after shave collection.
Then you’d see it, the Quorum bottle.
Dark, silent, so sure of itself.
You look back at yourself in the mirror, you feel ready, you opt for the Quorum because you’ve inadvertently succumbed to its telepathic message.
You open the bottle and the smell would punch you in the face, then you hear it in all its glory,
“I’ll tell you when your ready son, remember that, now slap some on and get amongst them”
With that you left the building like a proper bloke..
In 2017, i get dressed, check myelf out in the mirror, tidy up myself, etc, etc, etc, anyway you get the picture.
If you get home to find your other bottles of A/S or EDT are not in their usual positions, chances are Mr Quorum has been dishing out a few lessons.
For men only
10/10 The old vintage,
I dont do EDT’s, they are for girls.
iPrizrak – :
‘morning men … here’s my QUORUM story which is eerily similar to Wes Clark’s below (3-16-13): Based on reviews I picked-up what is identified as the 2003 version (2003 stamped on bottom of box, long list of ingredients on back of box, thin line under ‘QUORUM,’ volume designation on lower front of bottle … and gold sprayer). I’ve had too many experiences where the original stuff is better and this time is no different. The 2003 felt flat and one-dimensional to me … and lasted (maybe) three hours. Undeterred, I kept looking and found a vintage EDT splash (three-ingredient box, thick line under ‘QUORUM,’ ‘eau de toilette’ in lower case letters, and simply ‘PUIG’ at the front bottom of the bottle).
hey! Hey! HEY! Not just better, but out-of-this-world superior. This is a gorgeous, rich, very traditional scent that I’m really glad to have now. An even newer offering might be an improvement over the 2003, but I recommend seeking out the original. It just smells truer to the inspiration behind Quorum which is now the deepest, darkest, greenest jewel of a men’s scent that I own. I think I remember someone saying this felt like a ‘military’ scent if there is such a thing, and I agree! What comes to mind is Lee Marvin in a dark green, very heavy-wool regulation-issue officer’s uniform … conducting reconnaissance ops behind enemy lines in a stark Czechian forest on a brutally cold ‘n wet Fall morning … as the smoke from battle fire lingers in the distance! A true standard-issue classic.

People will smell this on you on throughout a whole office day. I prefer this over polo. With polo, it’s like smelling the scent of pine in the wind, like when you smell pine coming from a forest behind your house, but with quorum it’s like you’re in the depths of an old pine forest. Heavier, less tobacco/ashtray, a lot of sap, dark fresh.
zasorin79 – :
Quorum is a bare knuckle brawler of a scent! Right out of the atomizer this stuff just comes out swinging!!! Oak moss pine and leather with a hint of tobacco set the tone early for this scent. Quorum is strong, pungent but oh so well blended. This scent gets sexy quick! The sexiness derives from this beautiful leather, tobacco and floral heart (It is warm, musky, and sweet) This fragrance has a real allure, with Quorum there is not one note that dominates, the balance is perfect. The dry down to Quorum is lovely; the tobacco and floral notes settle into a sweet, slightly powdery amber finish. Quorum blew my olfactory doors and really reset my palate if you will. I had to revisit some of the classics on my shelf, like; Kouros and Egoiste. Quorum must not be taken lightly, it is a beast but a classy beast. This scent is for day or night time, but cooler evenings make this scent sing (Fall, Winter, and early Spring). Wear this under a pea coat on a date night stroll to the cinema, when the night air is cool and your lady will need to snuggle in close.
Eden2011 – :
Very manly and uplifting. This is what I want to smell like instead of some inoffensive scents that you can barely pick in this modern world. The current formulation is a perfect clash of clean and gritty elements. You get a monstrous blast of grapefruit in the beginning and after that you’re treated to some amazingly dark, green goodness. The drydown is downright beautiful compared to your basic musky ambery fail that just seems like a shitty leftover. It’s just pure win through and through.
Soulless_God – :
Quorum is a masterpiece without a question. The drydown of this scent is an even bigger masterpiece. Quorum by the way, is not a harsh nor offensive scent AT ALL. Unfortunately some reviews give us an unrealistic picture of this scent. Quorum is one of the most wearable green stuff on the market. Just give it 5 to 10 minutes before you leave the house and it becomes heavenly. There is no one single note that plays out of place, everything is in sync. The greenness is very soft, the leather plays its role decently, tobacco doesnt dominate the other notes, the pine makes sure the whole composition doesnt become too dark or too warm, after 15 minutes, even a clean and soft soapiness starts adding to this really fine orchestra of notes. The dry down of this masterpiece is even brighter and more relaxing than a scent like Paco Rabanne Pour homme which is the embodiment of wet shaving and clean scents. This fragrance has been a dream back in 80s and it never stopped being a dream until today.
By the way, this scent develops a great smell on fabric. The drydown on fabric is a bit different than on skin and its actually fantastic too.
Xeroxhodkz – :
Oh yeah! This is vintage stuff alright, but I like it!
This smell reminds me of my youth back in the ’80s, when I used to hang out with this friend who came from America (I live in Norway).
This smells just like this boy’s house (or maybe his American father?)
Some days I like to alternate with a more serious, masculine scent compared to my many “lightweight” scents in my collection.
I’m glad I found a cheap, but high quality scent amongst my otherwise expensive perfumes.
korshaks – :
I’m no expert on scents or notes or anything like that, but god damn this stuff smells good. Its a great masculine frag from the 80s. A real powerhouse. If you want people to notice you this is what you need to spray on yourself. I got a few compliments from the women at work the other day when I was wearing this. I was expecting to be getting comments from older women (40+) but I also got complements from women in their 20s. Overall a great scent if you like the barber shop type frags.

Quorum has been Reformulated… The New formula can be identified by the brownish PLASTIC Sprayer…..The Old Formula has A Metal sprayer..
The New formula is Literally Unrecognizable!! ..I have worn the old Quorum on and off for years and love this Juice… I really don’t understand why Antonio Puig would do this to their Bread and Butter Scent!?!?!? Really confusing considering it is an inexpensive fragrance to begin with…It’s now only A matter of time before the public catches on and their sales will PLUMIT…Maybe then they will bring back the old formula and fire the CEO who made this BLUNDER!!!!
NO Review for Rating …New Juice isn’t worth the effort…Quorum is official DEAD…RIP……

I’m not a fan of this fragrance for the first 1/2 hour. I find it to be quite aggressive. After that I like it. It has decent performance. A good value.

This is a scent I wear only for my own covetous, personal satisfaction. It impresses none around me, and that impresses me! I’m confident and sure of my path. I have a past, but I don’t hide from it rather, I embrace it. The world’s most interesting man (from the beer commercial) wears this and he recommended it to me.
Quorum, to me, is all about the tobacco. Not the sweet, syrupy pipe tobacco that’s so popular in colognes rather, warm, sunny, earthy Cuban leaf cigar tobacco. It smells like a tobacconist’s humidor, and that’s truly delicious. Every time I wear this, I’m transported back in time to when I smoked Upman Lonsdales.
