Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Quorum EDT
A divisive powerhouse from the 80s: for some, it's a timeless, masculine masterpiece; for others, a dated, jarring relic. You either love its rugged, old-school charm or you'll find it utterly unwearable. Not for the faint-hearted or those who follow trends.

Our Verdict - Desire Extreme EDT
This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either love how it swerves the crowd-pleasers with its bold, dark character, or you'll find it an overwhelming, synthetic mess. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you're after something unique and masculine, it could be a winner.

Season and Occasion Fit

Quorum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its powerful, old-school projection and bold aroma, particularly with its tobacco and leather accords, make it less suitable for formal or office settings. However, its 'rugged fresh' and 'outdoorsy' vibe, as noted by reviewers, makes it excellent for casual wear and even outdoor physical activities.

Desire Extreme

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its moderate projection and longevity mean it won't overpower an office, but the darker, more intense leather and spicy accords are better suited for evening and casual wear. The polarizing nature also suggests it's not universally office-safe.
