What do reviewers say about Quorum and Chaps?

The cumin opening isn't for everyone. That's the point. It announces this isn't a soft choice or a quiet one. The leather-tobacco drydown is where Quorum earns its reputation, warm, confident.Quorum

There's something unapologetically 1979 about this. Chaps commits, to lavender, to moss, to leather that actually smells like leather. It's a fragrance that doesn't hedge its bets.Chaps
