About this deal

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. 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.

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. 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. When first applied, that zesty, juicy mandarin and almost a hint top note of mint come thru. Beautiful and stunning. Generally speaking, from now on I've decided to only buy better quality, since I usually use two spray max and a bottle of perfume lasts me a long time. On my list is Chanel Paris-Edimbourg and Armani Vetiver d'hiver. I only have 2 other Azzaro juices. The OG Chrome & United. Extreme has a similarity to the original in it's freshness and nothing in common with United as that's a more sweet woods and Tonka based elixer. Azzaro managed to take Extreme and put a subtle but, unique twist with the green citrus & marine note on top and the mids yet managed to make the woods & amber work very well and nicely balanced throughout the compositions life. Not groundbreaking and yes, there is a bit of the ambroxan in there but, it's not as prominent or in your face as others.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 have had Chrome on my sink counter since 1997. I was really sad when the original Chrome lost it's whole staying power; it would be GONE in about an hour. Totally GONE. 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. In the end does it smell good? Absolutely. Does it have the ooomph that the name implies? Definitely. Of the three that I own, this is hands down the best of the trio by a large margin. In my teenage years I used to wear Axe Phoenix, and this one kind of reminds me of that scent, but a very high quality Axe Phoenix. Don't get me wrong, it's not a synthetic smelling Axe like fragrance; it is a great quality smelling perfume.

First 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. 👍🏼 This will easily be one of my more frequent reaches. It is amazing. There is a true transition with the top-middle-bass notes, and each one is fantastic.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.

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. Performance: Sillage/Projection is good for the first hour, after that it becomes more of a skin scent.

I got this fragrance early on in my journey, and my only regret is that I got a 50ml and not a full size. I love it. Being insanely hot where I live during the summer, freshies often fizzle out early. Not this. This is refreshing, pushes, and has decent longevity for a citrus, summer frag.
