Each pick includes the important differences, tradeoffs and our bottom-line verdict.
Blast From the Past starts with bright citrus and sharp herbs, then settles toward a leathery, mossy base. It has a more forceful presence than the Chanel; extended wear can reach 10+ hours.
The closer interpretation for someone who enjoys Antaeus’s herbs, leather and moss with a stronger presence.
The opening is rougher and more citrus-heavy, while the middle can feel greener and less rosy. Antaeus has a smoother, warmer resinous character. The resemblance is strongest once DUA settles.
Quorum opens with bitter herbs and citrus before pine, patchouli and tobacco take over. Leather and moss give the finish its dry, earthy weight.
A good alternative for the green, leathery mood when pine and tobacco appeal more than rose.
Quorum puts more emphasis on pine, tobacco and dry moss. It has less of Antaeus’s dark rose and rounded resinous warmth, so it works as a broader alternative rather than a direct clone.
Resemblance estimates weigh the opening, heart and drydown at 30%, 40% and 30%. The reference is Antaeus EDT; DUA’s inspiration is the vintage formulation. DUA’s 10+ hours reflects an extended wearing, rather than a minimum for every wearer. Quorum’s estimated wear is 7–8 hours.
Blast From the Past is the closer route to Antaeus’s herbal, leathery character. Its sharper citrus and greener middle make way for a more familiar mossy base. Choose Quorum when you want drier pine, tobacco and leather. Antaeus itself keeps the smoother balance of dark rose, warm resin and animalic depth.

The original Quorum Eau de Toilette, separate from Quorum Silver and Aqua Quorum.
Both are herbal. DUA starts with a sharper citrus-and-herb combination, while Quorum takes a bitter, pine-led direction.
DUA gives the closer Antaeus-style leathery drydown. Quorum pairs its leather with drier pine, tobacco and moss.
Neither follows a sugary vanilla style. The emphasis is herbs, leather, woods and moss, with warmer resin in the Antaeus direction.
