Quorum is a powerful, earthy fougère that defines masculinity with a bold, vintage flair. Its opening is assertive and green, with sharp citrus, caraway, and artemisia notes that create an almost confrontational freshness. The scent evolves into a rich blend of oakmoss, leather, tobacco, and pine, delivering a deeply masculine, dry, and aromatic presence. While the initial spray can feel overwhelming and synthetic, it settles into a softer, soapy, and earthy drydown that feels both refined and grounded. The fragrance commands attention without resorting to sweetness or lightness—its strength lies in its authenticity and character. It is not a versatile, everyday scent; it suits colder months and intellectual, mature men who appreciate craftsmanship and mood. Its performance is moderate to long, with sillage that is strong at first but diminishes over time. The low price point makes it a standout value, though some newer versions reportedly underperform compared to vintage life, especially in longevity and projection.
