Azzaro Chrome Extreme Eau De Parfum Spray 100ml

Product Information

Now, this is very much a unique fragrance; however, the only thing that came to mind as a comparison was Clinique Happy for men (I’ve compared one other frag as a vibe, but this really reminded me of it). I’ve always loved that one, but it’s linear, seasonal and has terrible performance. ChromeE is to me possibly like if Happy were reimagined, or an Intense version.. and made with better quality ingredients. I almost hate to mention that comparison but felt compelled to. It’s also way more versatile, and has WAY better performance. Comparing it with the original Eau de Toilette(EDT) version, it has some similarities, but it has more differences. For example, both are fresh aquatic-style fragrances, but with different nuances, while the EDT is citrusy, metallic and musky, the EDP is citrusy, floral, woody and sweeter. This new version of Chrome is a good addition, as it modernizes the classic version, bringing it closer to current versions of blue fragrances.

I wish it were more in-line with that musky aluminum/metallic/dare-I-say CHROME smell of the original. This is a very deep, rich, woody aquatic. I appreciate the pine note a lot. It's not quite "pine" in the Polo Green tradition, but it's a fresh, wet pine. It starts relatively synthetic with citrus from the green mandarin, which i related to the smell to an unripened mandarin, and slowly mellows out of that sharp synthetic associated with the typical generic freshie. It transitioned from zingy aromatic into this smooth and slightly resinous marine scent which smells quite sophisticated. The juniper retains its sweetness while the cashmere really softens out the edges and the amber gives it a resinous quality while maintaining its sea notes from the top to the drydown. Today, I gave it another try, since I bought it and unfortunately, my opinion hasn't changed. One thing I can say about it is, that this fragrance, namely Chrome Extreme is one that I don't like. I used to have all of the Bvlgari Aquas and I can recommend all of them, besides Aqua Amara maybe. Where I live, summers are very hot and humid, so in my environment Aqua Marine works best. I actually really miss it and believe this is a much better option. I had a chance to smell John Varvatos "Artisan Pure" once, and was really impressed about it, so maybe a John Varvatos fragrance could be a good idea. I was also considering a Tommy Bahamas, but have never smelled one of his.Currently in the gym scent line up only because the scent profile is too familiar… not a bad thing. Although similar, it does it well with solid performance. Keeping it at 3-5 sprays MAX for gym wear this one I imagine As for its longevity, with me it remained between 7 and 8 hours, projecting well for the first hour and a half, then its intensity decreases but it leaves a slight aromatic trace. It has a fresh and fruity opening, with mandarin citrus. As the minutes go by, the aroma of lavender increases, giving it a very floral and aromatic characteristic, as well as some amber sweetness. In the drying phase a woody base of pine can be perceived, but it never loses the amber fruity presence. Opening: The opening is a strong synthetic mandarin off the first 10 minutes or so. After that it sweetens up and starts to become a mix of a realistic, bright, mandarin mixed with a sweet and juicy juniper accord right under that. The cashmeran and amber notes are not really felt in the opening. After about 30 minutes it continues to project a juicy mandarin with the cashmeran and salty ocean note resembling AQD Profondo. Opening is 8/10 for the price, mass appealing, unique, and compliment monster after the synthetic quality fades away. Sillage is also pretty "extreme" for the first 30 minutes to an hour.

Very reminiscent to ADG. Great value at discounter price. Nothing wow but I’ll definitely smell good. Id imagine this one will get some compliments for those who care. Phần cổ tay được xịt nước hoa thường có nhiều tác động như lúc rửa tay, đeo vòng, đồng hồ, do đó để đảm bảo mùi hương được duy trì, bạn nên sử dụng nước hoa ở cổ tay ở tần suất nhiều hơn lúc cần thiết. Smell: sweet and fresh. Opens up smelling like melon and cucumber with a bit of orange. Dries down into a fresh aquatic fragrance which has some sharpness similar to YSL Y edp. Has a hint of creaminess but not much, which is a shame. Smells sweet and youthful. Drydown: After about an hour the projection drops off or I have become anosmic. The scent is a warm soapy, oceanic scent. Very realistic and pleasant; the best part of the scent. The amber is rich and smells addicting, while also meshing perfectly with the soapy warm scent of cashmeran. The ocean note becomes deeper as if night has fallen and the scent overall becomes more mature. This scent does perform differently in different temperatures, in colder temps it is a sweeter fruitier scent, while in hot weather it is a sharp masculine aquatic with a fresh oceanic vibe. 10/10First of all it is not harsh with mentioned citruses, it does not give shower gel vibe. It is mild and semi-sweet scent with some delicate "peppery" feeling during first 30 minutes. Regarding notes pyramid I don't know from where does this "peppery" impression come from but it's pleasant. 👍🏼 That’s what makes me sad about this perfume not because of the perfume , because the bad experience There are dozens of fresh green slash blue showergel frags that are light years better. The best in line would be Extreme which is 95% Profondo just without mineral notes and more fruity but the similarities are spot on to the point that in the air, no one will know if you are wearing Profondo or Chrome Extreme.

And they apologized for what happened, told me to keep the bottle plus all what I paid , they gave it to me in my store credit Performance: Sillage/Projection is good for the first hour, after that it becomes more of a skin scent.A great summer and hot weather dumb reach, although I wouldn't wear this to any formal events. Good for casual and work/office environments. Also good for the gym, though it is a bit strong, so I'd go easy on the sprays for indoor situations. Opening: On the opening it is very citrusy, synthetic, and bright. The citrus lasts only a few seconds however. For the first 10 Minutes the scent is very bitter and harsh, but once it starts to dry, it gets much better. Most of the opening is just Bitter though. I am not a big connoisseur of freshly aquatic fragrances, I find most of them very similar to each other, simplistic with overpowering citruses smell but this one is actually surprisingly nice. 😙 Then after a few more minutes, the saltiness & the sweet water notes and the amber eventually come thru. It retains this saltiness & the sweet water notes and amber throughout the rest of its journey, along with a musky, powdery nuance.

It seems that the perfumer(s) of Chrome Extreme didn't dedicate a lot of space in the formula to unnecessary fixatives, opting instead for a higher concentration of high-impact top and middle notes (n.b. Chrome Extreme is of EDP concentration). This is apparent in the fragrance's impressive projection in the initial ~1.5 hrs. Longevity on the other hand is decent on me (~6-7 hrs; improves when applied on clothing), with the last few hours spent close to the skin. Then after a minute, it takes a turn into a bubble gumish area of PR one million territory, but still retains its own identity. If you want the best from Chrome line up get Chrome Aqua for super fresh tingling citrus burst (sporty vibes) or Extreme for sweet and comforting yet fresh with some depth and earthiness (compliment magnet). Both are great value and worth every penny even at higher price.For sure it is not "extreme" in any sense. 🙄 It is decent office smell that all will like. If you are into fragrances and you are proud of your collection you can pass that one but if you are looking for wholesome one-do-all-occasions bottle - give it a try. Regardless, Chrome Extreme is still a great buy. Honestly think it’s a better offering than ADG Profondo.
