Quorum (1982)
by Antonio Puig

I like Cabochard so I like Quorum... it works for me as a strong woman who doesn' t do florals.

The king of 80's powerhouses? I smell pretty much all the other stuff from the 80's in the this and yet I see that this was possibly realeased first and carried on a tradition of cloning. Dark, earthy, leathery, mossy, heady, sandalwoody... they all mix, well, great together. The sandalwood really shines on my skin and gives way to a leathery moss drydown. For those who enjoy: Pancaldi, Carlo Corinto, Bijan Men, Coveri, Maxims, Krizia Uomo, Armani pour Homme, Aramis, Sung Homme, etc.

As a fan of Fendi's, Aramis, etc......this will not disappoint !!! While too heavy for some, I really like this frag and it is ALOT OF BANG for the buck.

Not for aquatic lovers for sure.

Ditto for all the positive reviews including those which challenge reviewers who heap derision on Quorum.

This cologne is really a kind of Latin Polo (green). Less complex, more raw to be sure, A lesser cologne than Polo? Sure, I'll agree to that since Polo becomes a kind of oriental But this Latin Polo is no pollo (chicken) and will not compensate for one's own personal lack of confidence. Though basically a fan and aware of the freshness becoming spiciness (on the verge of athetic spice?) of this juice, the drydown leads me to use it less these days simply because my own tastes are changing and feel less a need to make a statement.

Let me say: I recommend it one or two shots, especially for expressing an already present sense of attitude.

I can not really say anything about this other than the fact that is a BEAST. Whoa, this is some loud and obnoxious stuff. A somewhat typical patchouli, leather, tobacco and a powdery amber brooding all over the place in megalith proportions type scent - i.e. a pure 80's heaven scent! That being said, I must admit I like it alot, but only for certain occasions. I only wear it with dark turtleneck sweaters in the dead of winter, period. Even then it is a very difficult one to pull off, IMO. Most of the time if this very specific situation arises, I would rather wear the pre-80's Azzaro - it is not so bold and less powdery, but makes a similar statement.

Most certainly a one spray only concoction.

This is by far the best cheap cologne that they make. and it is not cheap by a long shot its a very nice blend of sweet bitter citrus and musk that works well for daily operations. A great retro cologne that was great in the 80's & still great. Big bottles can still be had for under $20
