Antonio Puig Quorum is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1981, created by Carlos Benaïm, Max Gavarry, and Rosendo Mateu. Quorum opens with Caraway, Bergamot, Lemon, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Pine, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Oakmoss, and Tobacco. Antonio Puig's Quorum carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

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.

About

Quorum opens with a sharp, green citrus burst from grapefruit and lemon, quickly joined by the pungent, aromatic spice of caraway and artemisia. As it settles, a dense forest floor emerges with prominent pine and earthy patchouli, underscored by a dry, almost bitter oakmoss. The base lingers with a rugged, leathery tobacco and a hint of warm amber, evoking a raw, masculine character.
