CHROME COLOGNE SKIN

This original Chrome release is still nice, after all of these years. Again, that seems to change every so often, and the super affordable bottles gets bought up. 2023 Update: I’m seeing bottles in the $35-50 range, right now. It can sell for a higher price at retail stores, but on the online secondary market, you can find really cheap bottles. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I think it is pretty versatile and pleasant, as long as it’s not overused. It is a very inexpensive cologne (usually) and one that smells good and performs well. So, if you want something high end, it’s not this. Also, I wouldn’t call this formal and isn’t really a luxury kind of fragrance.

It doesn’t strike me as a nighttime scent, but it’s so fresh, that it’ll get complements. You can wear this one casually, to school, to work, etc.įor me, I have enjoyed wearing this when it’s warmer outside and I’m just moving about town. It has great versatility for both younger and older men. I think it’s awesome in the summertime, but it isn’t limited by season at all, unlike some other scents. Still a great performance value, for the price.Ĭhrome can easily be worn year round.

I’m not sure how long it continues after that, but sprayed on a t-shirt, Chrome just kept on going.

CHROME COLOGNE SKIN

It’ll go 7-8 hours, off of 2-3 sprays, before become a complete skin scent. Updating this review here in 2020, I still find the longevity to be really good. However, the initial burst, will provide plenty of power. I’d say that the sillage overall, is pretty middle of the pack, once it settles. Chrome does settle down a bit, but it can be overwhelming if too much is used, in the wrong climate. It does seem to be pretty strong right out of the bottle, so there’s no need for more than a couple sprays. How Long Does Chrome Last? How Strong is the Sillage? It isn’t a complex fragrance at all really, just one that is straightforward with a clean, soapy, citrus, masculine aroma. Chrome becomes a clean woody scent, with citrus sitting on top of it, and the floral notes don’t seem as relevant anymore.Ĭhrome is just really vibrant and reminds me of a sunny summer day.

The musk isn’t heavy, but it is noticeable. The notes that emerge during this time, are the various woods, and the musk. I like the dry down period quite a bit, and it does have a metallic vibe to it as the name suggests, but I don’t think it distracts from the overall presentation. Thankfully, they didn’t overload the neroli and jasmine, to make it a bath soap-like scent, those notes are empowered just enough to make Chrome smell great. The first hour or so, is really all about being a citrus/floral fragrance, with a light aquatic and soapy character. It’s similar to that note in Acqua di Gio, but these are ultimately pretty different fragrances.

It has an aquatic-like smell at times, without having any oceanic notes, which is a nice little trick of the mind.Īfter the first few minutes, where neroli is powerful, the rosemary begins to come through with that herbal spiciness. The top is very similar to CK One, that citrus/floral aroma, has lots of overlap with that 1990s showstopper.Ĭhrome always induces thoughts are bright and sunny days, in the summer. Obviously, this flower plays perfectly off of the citrus top, and is joined by a light jasmine note. It is interesting how refreshing and bright this fragrance smells, it feels quite sharp and fresh. The first thing you notice about Chrome is the citrus notes, mainly a blend of lemon and pineapple. “A harmony as pure as metal, a blend of strength and complicity.” Notes include: neroli, lemon, bergamot, rosemary, pineapple, musk, woods, and jasmineīefore we get into my review, let’s see how Azzaro describes it: Fresh, vibrant, aquatic, woody.
