👃 What Does Quorum Smell Like?

From the very first spray, Quorum makes its presence known.

• The opening is sharp and herbal — think bitter greens, citrus rind, and spices. Artemisia and cumin give it an almost medicinal edge, while lemon and grapefruit cut through with tartness.

• The heart transitions into dry woods and earthy textures. Pine and patchouli dominate here, offering a forest-like masculinity that’s grounded and unapologetically bold.

• In the base, Quorum settles into a warm, leathery dry-down with oakmoss, tobacco, and amber. This stage is smoky, slightly sweet, and rich — the scent of vintage power and elegance.

👔 When to Wear Quorum

Quorum is best worn in cooler months and in specific settings:

• Fall/Winter: Ideal for the earthy, leathery tones

• Evenings: Best suited for after-hours wear, dates, or events

• Confident Occasions: This is a scent for when you want to feel powerful — business meetings, special dinners, or nostalgic nights out

💬 Style Tip: Pair Quorum with classic tailoring, leather jackets, or vintage-inspired menswear.

⏳ Performance

• Longevity: 6–8 hours (even longer on fabric)

• Sillage: Strong in the first few hours — this is not a skin scent

• Projection: Moderate to strong — will be noticed, especially upon first application
