This perfume reminds me of the woman I loved most in college; it wasn’t Cool Water. It reminds me of my most revolutionary moments; this is a revolutionary perfume. Now I’m more focused and I buy perfumes with casino winnings. The notes I sense come as Pine, Grapefruit, Incense (sandalwood), and a citrusy, soapy base. I’m using it for work and I like how it combines with the smell of the empanada I’m eating for breakfast with coffee. It’s a very personal moment. The issue I had was with the deodorant, which didn’t work well in my armpit, but it’s good for aromatizing clothes before going out; it’s a good idea to buy the pack. With Cool Water, they are two great fighters in my collection. 8/10
His Majesty QUORUM: this perfume is a precious gem. The longer time passes, the more its value increases. A delicacy that never goes out of style. It has a mix of tones, ufff, with a heavenly sandalwood. Recommended a million times over. This is a perfume that cannot be missing; without it, the world feels incomplete.
It’s a sharp and stately aroma, quite vintage. Smells heavily of moss with old, wet wood, green pine, sharp tobacco, and a touch of amber. Personally, it’s a scent I’ve heard from my father, a smell I never fully liked because it was too heavy, and he used it during hot seasons; certainly, this should be worn in cold weather and autumn since it’s a very aggressive scent. I bought it for $12, which was a great price for me since the aroma quality is undeniable; that’s what you pay for. I also bought it because I liked the scent of the classic Polo, the green bottle, and they said this smelled very similar. I ended up disappointed; they don’t resemble each other much, maybe 20% at most. The Polo scent is softer, creamier, and more refined; it’s not as sharp and aggressive as this. I’m seriously thinking about gifting it to my father, but I have to admit the aroma has something I don’t quite know but I like a bit; maybe in the future I’ll like it much more. For now, meh…
This is a perfumery classic; you have to like vintage and have personality to wear it today. Smells like soap or shaving foam with sharp notes of cypress and a fairly animalic dry down.
I used to avoid this fragrance due to the bad impression I had from negative reviews, but I decided to buy it blindly. What a surprise… I found something sublime, a very intense aroma of pine, spices, and soap. The dry down is very pleasant. Performance ranges from moderate to long-lasting. If you want to smell very masculine and original, like few or no one else in your circle, this is the fragrance. You’ll enjoy it once you find the taste, and you’ll realize why it’s still on the market since 1981.
Classic aroma, economical, but if applied excessively, it becomes unbearable. So watch out, folks.
A perfumery classic; you need personality to wear it these days. Very mature. Given the price, it feels indispensable, at least to have it in your collection.
Nothing about this fragrance smells like anything I’ve ever smelled before. It’s impossible to describe its greatness. It’s not one of those that touches my heart by reminding me of my father, uncle, grandfather, or best friend; they used Brummel, Otelo, Varón Dandy, and Massimo Dutti. Me and Quorum have only known each other for ten years. When I put it on, I enter another world, deeper and full of charms than the one we live in. Quorum is a work of art, from yesterday, today, and forever. Period.
What I notice most is the pine, as other comments say. You need personality to wear it, especially if you’re young, because there’s still the stigma of equating this style with old age since they were the pioneers of vintage scents. It reminds me of my great-grandfather, rest in peace, and I enjoy spraying it occasionally. Obviously, it’s not my signature scent, but mostly, when it’s autumn or winter, I put on a suede or leather jacket, slip it on, and I feel like I can take on the world, feeling like a man.
This fragrance is pure class. If you want to turn heads and leave people intrigued, wear it. It’s vintage, sure, but the rose scent never goes out of style, right? If a scent is good today, it will always be good, unless you have a personal issue with it.
No notes, no performance, or anything. This is a trip back in time, the dessert your grandmother used to make that’s no longer here, or the fragrance your dad used in an era that’s no longer here. It touches my emotions. I love having it, spraying myself, and it’s because… besides, it smells good. Vintage, green, citrus, very aromatic, at the same time refreshing. It’s a fragrance to own and use occasionally to enjoy. And that’s it. And the price, a laugh. Awesome.
I tested it at a perfumery. I didn’t like the opening: dense and aged smell. I declined the purchase. When I got home, I continued my routine and at night I rubbed my forearm across my face; the scent returned, different. It smelled like leather, woody, with exquisite citrus reminiscence. I had to go back with my tail between my legs to buy it. I love it. A fragrance that gives you security.
The first 30 minutes you have to be careful that a cat approaches and confuses you with its litter box. Then it transforms into your grandfather’s aftershave lotion. If you want a fragrance totally devoid of compliments, go for it.
I don’t have it in my vintage collection, but I’ve tested it a lot at a perfumer friend’s house. Curiously, he despises vintage aromas except this one, which he says he likes a lot. He’s not wrong: for someone who likes to smell classic without beating around the bush, Quorum is an excellent option, cheaper than Polo Green. I notice similarities except it doesn’t have that prominent tobacco note of the Ralph Lauren. A real gentleman’s perfume.
If they ask me how a men’s perfume should be, my answer is “it should be like Quorum.” My fascination with fougères and vintages led me to buy it, and I exceeded my expectations. A timeless fragrance, impossible not to like. Citrus, green opening, drying down on skin with delicious tobacco combined with leather. There’s no more to it. It’s a perfume that makes you reconsider that you were born in the wrong era, but luckily you’re alive to enjoy it.
This is the one responsible for me starting to appreciate fragrances; it was the first that got me a compliment. A person I barely knew approached and praised the aroma. I made it my signature for several years. Although due to age and my job I now use others, I have a reserve of Quorum in my collection that I love in its opening and how it matures with the hours. Besides, it brings back good memories.
Dear friends, I’ve had over 40 perfumes of all kinds, olfactive families, and price ranges. I just say that Quorum is in my top 3. The magic is in its dry-down when others smell it. That’s when you realize how pleasant and masculine it is. I’ve had two bottles and I’m going for a third at 36 years old. In Chile, the price is spectacular, $15-16. Greetings.
I won’t go into emotional details or historical associations. This is MALE BEAUTY. Absolute sexuality and class. No matter how cheap it is, it’s a TOTEM created by undisputed masters working for PUIG. This house, with its flaws, is a world reference. I don’t work for them, but they earned their prestige by launching marvels like this. There are very few fragrances so well-constructed. Quorum is always there. It’s a classic fougere example. It belongs to another era and smells classic. What? It’s one of the few perfectly recognizable perfumes: “That smells like Quorum.” Is that a higher praise? Regardless of purchasing power, if you’re a sincere lover of perfumery, Quorum is essential. I’ll always have a bottle in reserve. Soapy, green, affordable fougères of this quality, I only know two others: Jaguar for Men and Gray Flannel. Whoever doesn’t appreciate Quorum is a nouveau riche snob or an uneducated person. It’s an ABSOLUTE green and exciting scent. I remember a nearly fatal kick years ago of uncontrollable emotions. Today it’s not as potent or long-lasting, but it’s almost the same. If it’s a reminiscence, it’s very well executed. Perfume culture. Something you must know.
I bought it blind without fear because of the price… if you want to try something niche-level at a Mercadona price, give this a shot. I’m not sure if I’ll wear it, but I’m intrigued. Even if reformulated, it smells like the original, just less invasive. The opening is sharp and projects due to its uniqueness. It’s aggressive, with an animalic touch reminiscent of a horse stable; the leather and other notes approach the smell of manure, but not repulsively. It smells like a Mediterranean forest, animal, dehesa. Everything softens down to a soapy, gentle scent. It’s hard to pull off because it smells like older people, which is why many don’t like it… But the fault isn’t the scent; if Lenny Kravitz or Johnny Depp wore it, it would be a masterpiece. For the price, you should own it even if you don’t use it; it has quality and originality.
It’s a potent vintage scent, hard to integrate into today’s world. Upon arrival, I was surprised: the opening is very aggressive, almost like a stable, nothing like the dry-down. As a perfume novice, I had to try it. It smells like pine, herbal, and has that animalic note that’s tough to get used to, though it softens as it dries. In short, it’s very strong, reminds me of my dad and his fragrances.
I love talking about fragrances; it’s a beautiful universe. But this time, I won’t ramble, except with passion. Quorum: that budget cologne from the past, classic, Spanish to the core, and very popular across all of Hispanoamerica, something exaggerated and necessarily exaggerated to be itself and to be so flavorful that you’d dare to spray it on yourself as if you were about to immolate yourself with fuel and a lighter, which, as a child, made me smell bad, but rather smell like a man. Beloved Quorum, beloved times. Full identity.
IT IS THE INSPIRATION FOR QUERCIA BY ACQUA DI PARMA.
I’m almost finished, and when I bought it, I had to turn around to check that no one was following me out of the perfume shop and asking for the rest of the money (this is worth more than it costs). I wanted the smell of Christmas pine trees, so I started using it in the cold, but I had to let it rest. Although my taste for it made me use it again in the heat; above 30 degrees, it turns sour on my skin and releases a note like pink pepper (which I like). I don’t know what else to say; I don’t want to convince anyone of how good it is, because we know perfumery is an art, and we also know art is subjective. I love it.
Very strong at first, even unpleasant due to the tobacco and leather, but once it settles, the aroma improves. It’s quite masculine; at 24, I like wearing it for the personality it adds. A well-defined masculinity, although it is old and suits men over 50 better. But I think with confidence, it can be worn in certain environments where it might be well-received. It doesn’t project much, and it doesn’t last long in summer, so it’s not cloying; now I’ll have to try it in winter.
Those are ‘vintage’ scents that I don’t dislike, but they’re perfumes for older people, don’t overthink it: perfume for people over 65, basically pine scent. Cool Water and even Drakkar Noir are better options.
You have to distinguish between the formulations. Here, they’re almost two different scents. I’m only talking about the last two. The old one has ‘Puig’ on the box; the new one doesn’t. The second-to-last is wild, green, soapy, and loaded with oakmoss, something that’s disappeared from perfumery. Is it a quality drop, or was that the cornerstone? It takes personality and a tolerant partner to handle five sprays; you need a strong stomach not to get overwhelmed. What power! After a citrus flash, it’s a lush forest with shrubs, flowers, mud, and holm oaks. Then it gets classically old-school in a good way: very soapy and resinous. I love it. It could be a cousin to Badedas soap or Magno Negro. It makes me want to wear it on cold days, not necessarily cloudy ones. The feeling of a clear winter walk with this is unique. Then there’s the latest version, the easiest to find. What surprised me most: it’s a very pleasant, wearable cologne for almost anyone and in any situation. It smells citrusy, green, and has everything else but lightened up. Did someone say ‘untamed’? Definitely not. It’s like going from three to two dimensions, or listening to heavy metal without the bass, without the oakmoss. I still find it beautiful and interesting… if it were a different fragrance. It’s a bad joke that it keeps the same name. Do you know the band Dover? Exactly that. Those of you who owned previous versions might think I’m comparing copy to copy of a copy. That’s just how it is; with these bulls, you have to plow the field. I bought the old version after already having half of the new one; although I feel I’ve upgraded, I still enjoy the ‘wet dog’ vibe in the heat. Very bad, Puig, or whoever reformulated it. There’s more difference between these two than between Prada L’Homme and L’Homme Intense.
I’ll be objective. Let’s be realistic: it doesn’t perform the same as it did 20 years ago; it’s been reformulated with different ingredients to be more wearable today. The opening is powerful, but it dries down well; it’s a dirty, sexy, very masculine leather scent. Perfect for cool climates and formal or casual wear. But obviously, not for kids. Give it a try and let us know your thoughts.
Quorum by Antonio Puig. After reading that it was reformulated, I remembered my adolescence when this wasn’t for young people, but my mom insisted on giving me adult perfumes smelling of tobacco, leather, and wood: Paco Rabanne, Agua Brava, Armani, Carolina Herrera, etc. Quorum was no exception: an explosive opening of wood and leather that seemed to invade the room. Once it dried down, patchouli and grapefruit emerged, with 6 hours of projection and a trail reaching two meters. It’s for adult men, spicy aromas from the 70s and 80s. Not suitable for spring or summer. Like Agua Brava, it’s excellent for the price. Rating: 7/10.
I have no idea how I lived so many years without knowing this gem! I stumbled upon it while searching for current vintage scents like Azzaro, Lapidus, Lagerfeld, Kouros, or One Man Show, which bring back childhood memories. I went to Primor and almost didn’t buy it because of the ridiculous price of 11 euros, thinking the quality would be terrible, but I was wrong. What a marvel! It reminds me of YSL Kouros and Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, but with a citrus top and an animalic castoreum base. Am I the only one who smells castoreum on this? I’m surprised it’s not listed in the notes, though I think Wiki Parfum does mention it. It’s a classic scent from the past at a ridiculous price.
Well, I got this as a gift yesterday—that belated Christmas present—and I must admit, I was dying to try this legend. It smells like nothing I’ve ever smelled before, but it reminds me of Ted Lapidus Pour Homme and Azzaro Pour Homme. To me, it’s way too mature; easy for someone over 60. My partner said it smelled like his grandfather, so I’ll have to wait 40 years to wear it. It lasts well and projects well. I recommend it for those who’ve reached that age or are looking for vintage vibes, and the quality/price is pretty good: 7/10.
QUORUM: THE ECHO OF THE 80S AMONG CYPRESSES AND TOBACCO. In the 80s, a man could walk into a room and leave behind an imposing trail of Quorum, that perfume that today seems to bottle lazy summer afternoons among cypresses and worn-tile pools. Dark green, bitter, like the reflection of a forest at dusk, its sober bottle is faithful to an era where scents were punchy, firm, almost rough. With notes of dry leather, smoked tobacco, and a herbal touch evoking the freshness of Pravia Hay soap, Quorum captures the nostalgia of those unhurried afternoons, where skin smelled of chlorine and the air of lavender and oak moss. A rough, dense aroma that doesn’t ask for permission, but claims space, like the shadows of cypresses as evening falls. Today, Quorum remains there, unaltered, like an echo of classic masculinity that refuses to fade away.
My grandfather gave it to me when I was 12 years old; I was the most radioactive kid in town.
I won’t lie to you, this is one of the most difficult perfumes I’ve ever tried. What a beast. The opening is literally wild. My first thought was to hallucinate that this is how the entrance to a dragon’s lair would smell. There’s a citrus note that lasts a mere breath before giving way to the monster, which takes presence in an overwhelming way, without warning, like a predator. When it settles, it calms down a bit. Towards the end, where the beast has marked its territory, it rests on ferns that withstand its dreamlike breath. Among the plants, pine stands out, taking the spotlight alongside the animal accord, enveloping the experience. We’re facing a hidden prehistoric world, sheltered from extinctions, on a wooded terrain open to the sun but enclosed by rock, dense with its secretions. I value and enjoy it, but it’s impossible to recommend. There’s no way to buy it blindly. It’s a mythical beast, a legendary creature from another era, the skin Hercules would wear after taming the beast.
Exquisite perfume with its own character and personality.
I usually wear it after shaving or when going to the barbershop, which is why I associate it so strongly with those places. Just close your eyes and you feel yourself in an old-school barbershop, smoking, chatting, and waiting your turn calmly. Quorum smells exactly like that: tradition, classic masculinity, and mature elegance. It’s a mature perfume, yes, it may remind you of the scent of ‘a gentleman,’ but of an elegant one, with presence and history. It’s not easy for the young, but collectors understand its value: it transports you to another era. I love wearing it at home after shaving to travel back to that memory. Should I recommend it? Yes, especially for the price. It’s a different olfactory experience from trendy sweet perfumes. Is it for everyone? No. It’s difficult, the typical ‘grandpa perfume,’ but not due to a bad smell, rather because it belongs to another era. Advice: try it on your skin and don’t just rely on reviews. Let it speak for itself.
A perfumed with character and personality. For men who wear leather jackets, not oversized sweaters. It has weight and density; it makes an impression. I recommend it for going out on the street, not for offices or enclosed spaces, as it can be overwhelming.
A classic, notable, solemn, and respectable perfume. Today I remember it as the office worker in downtown Santiago from the 80s, since it was very commonly worn by adult men of that era during my childhood.
I don’t know this perfume; I’ve never tried it. I came out of curiosity after reading a comment online: ‘My grandfather wore this and took his pants down in front of three ladies, one of whom was my grandmother, and he had another family and a mistress.’
You wouldn’t wear this today to pick up a date. As things are: it’s an old-school fougère, potent, and full of personality.
I refuse to follow the crowd. Quorum is a masterpiece. If you want to amplify a vintage style, love classic masculine archetypes, and hate ‘trying too hard’ elegance, this fragrance is for you. It smells totally like the 80s without falling into the ‘old man’ cliché; it has a supersoapy opening that lasts until nearly the end before settling into a musky, animalic drydown that isn’t even repulsive. If I had to compare it to characters, it would be Steve from Stranger Things or Dean Winchester from Supernatural: maximally masculine, but with emotional stability and care, not chaos. It moves step by step, not seeking the instant stimulation of mediocre modern fragrances. If you’re looking for ‘dad vibes’ or something cool with zero effort, Quorum doesn’t fail.
