Chrome Fragrance Reviews

Smellzgood

Chrome is a nice fragrance! When I wear it, I'm reminded of Grey Flannel, Mania, and CK One. It is truly the best of all three of these fragrances in one clean, light package. The top notes are Citrus ( neroli, bergamot, and pineapple) with a rosemary/lavender infusion. Middle notes are Grey Flannel-esque: geranium, cyclamen, oak moss, and a slight nutty coriander. In the base notes, oak moss continues and adds sandalwood, tonka bean, musk, and lingering cedar. Possibly a bit too light in the end and longevity is questionable. I enjoy wearing Chrome.

Tested it recently. Good longevity but so linear. Stays the same way while on your skin. Decent scent but too boring.

Azzaro Chrome was my last regular fragrance before I stopped using them altogether nearly 15 years ago. Now that I am getting back into fragrances again, I am looking for new and different scents. I can remember there being a refreshing scent which drew me to Chrome originally and I may give it another try down the road. Was pleasantly surprised to see it is so highly regarded after all these years.

A good scent for summer, but NEVER use for winter and/or cold nights. Smells like cold, metallic Rockstar energy drink when misused in the winter. Otherwise a decent scent for hot summer days.

A light, lovely, breezy scent which does not last very long..

I applied 6 heavy sprays

0-30 secs - Nothing

30 Secs - 1 hour. 1.5 foot projection. Very light hearted and nice, however not very complex - If someone put this juice into a Lynx/Axe bottle then I would think it would be seen as too basic a frag and yet another scent from that company.

1 hour - 3 hour - 1 foot projection. Pretty much same scent but subtle changes see it become more complex and richer, yet still supremely light hearted. It is very nice and cool and I feel relaxed, energised and dare I say...trendy?

3 hours -4.5 hours. 3 inch projection. Same great scent, linear

4.5 hours - 5.5 hours. No projection, drydown equally as nice

Shame it does not last longer. Could be used as a sporty frag as many sport events dont last more than say 4 hours??

I like it. At first i did not like the opening t...but it grew on me. I understand colognes have to mix when released from the bottle, and it mixes nicely to a fruity (but not too fruity) clean (overly used term IMO) with a hint of bitter-sweet aroma. I bought a tiny bottle because i did not have faith in the cologne, but i'm glad i did.

Finally i must say i am sooo pickey when it comes to colognes, i smell and re-smell and apply and re-apply

Overall it is my 6th favorite cologne
Grade: B

before i bought my 1st chrome azzaro, i visited almost all the websites i can get, readin' their comments and comments. That didn't satisfy me, so i went to various local shops and malls to ask even more information about this. It took me sometime to finally purchase and man, im tellin' you this... this one is amazing! all those time for searching, queries and doubts were paid off! whew!

Not a big fan, good citrus, for the price it is at, its a good gym/workout frag. Longevity is decent on skin and super on clothes. I wouldn't prefer it as a proper summer scent as I have better lemons in my roster. But all-in-all a good fragrance for workout, gym or any high schooler or newbie.

A light, clean, simple, fresh fragrance. Reminds me a lot of Byblos Uomo 2001. Staying power and sillage are only moderate. Chrome is inoffensive and quite pleasant. Nice fresh summery scent from Azzaro.

My bf wore this exclusively when we first met.

I love this fragrance it is fresh and clean and just yummy!

He has expanded his horizons now to include things like L’Homme Cologne Gingembre Yves Saint Laurent

and lacoste essential (which i bought for him because I love)

but he still wears it from time to time and it is still a really solid scent.

Great for summer!

I wore the fuck out of Chrome in high school, and I don't regret it one bit.

As an 18 year old whose roster has gone on to include Patou Pour Homme, Yohji Homme, Green Irish Tweed, Eau Sauvage, Monsieur de Givenchy, Jubilation XXV, and a flurry of other scents, I can say with confidence that Chrome is a wonderful masculine that still smells great. It may not be the most interesting scent, but it's clean and pleasant and it lasts a good while. I would say it's a bit stronger and more masculine than cK one.

Don't be ashamed to wear Chrome - it's good stuff, and luckily Azzaro hasn't screwed it up yet.

Never got around to this frag when it first came out but recently I had a opening in my cologne roster so I decided to recruit it. I've worn it every other day for month and it's not bad. Very fresh frag sprays on with strong lemon and pineapple. I detect the oak moss in the mid notes and strong cedar in the dry down that is suppose to imitate a metallic like smell if their is such a thing, but it has a soapy ting throughout the start to finish. My lady grab me by the waste and burried her head in my chest to smell it so that's a plus to me. It's long lasting but projection is not very loud. Over all it does what it's suppose to do, and a fair price for doing it. I say this one is a diffinate try.

This one is a love and hate for me. I used this back in my first year of college and actually went through a whole bottle. At the time I really enjoyed it, as I received many compliments from the ladies, but now when I smell it, there's something about it that turns me off. I really have to be in the mood to wear this one and its not often I do.

When you first spray this, the top notes are very fresh, citrusy, and light with a hint of a metallic note and as it dries down, that metallic note becomes more prominant blended with light woody undertones. Projection is good for about 2-3 hours and then it really sticks to the skin for about another few hours. I get about 4-6 hours with this fragrance on a good day but longevity is a bit spotty.

My manager at work wears this and he's probably in his late 40's but I feel like shaking him and giving him a complete fragrance overhaul! Something more mature and sophisticated, but then again he drives a Harley to work! Which brings me to my next point, any male 25+ need not wear this, it's too playful and immature of a scent so I recommend this to a younger crowd for sure. Anywho, "CHROME" is just what this fragrance resembles, at least with the prominant metallic note so the name says it all!

Soapy smell, reminds me of typical masculine colognes, anticeptic, citrus. Retains its strength throughout the day. Has a kind of clean power to it which isn’t unpleasant, but not very warm or welcoming.

Chrome was a cologne that I never paid attention to because I thought it was "cheap, generic" but I decided to buy it. I'd never smelled it, rather I bought it because it was a cologne I'd like according to the type of colognes I have. I can't get enough of this. I absolutely LOVE it. It's clean, fresh, light, surprisingly lasting and has instantly become a favorite of mine. My name is Mike and I APPROVE this review!

It's ok. It is very clean. Something for a very hot day ... the crispness lasts and sort of keeps me cool. Right off the start I was reminded of something metal, like METAL Paco Rabanne or SILVER FACTORY Bond No. 9.
It is a very simple cologne.
If I want something more for the girls, then WASHINGTON SQUARE from Bond No. 9 is what I would reach for, and get a clean-cut effect from that, too.
However, there is nothing not-to-like about CHROME.

citrus + musk + miscellaneous notes in the background It is really an aromatic citrus from the 1990s and its pretty dated now since there are so many more scents in this category that smell and last much better than this.

When a customer comes to me asking about something that is simply clean, not sweet, not overly fresh...just clean...I show them Chrome. I have a bottle. I love it for what it is, but it's more of a body freshener than it is a cologne. I call it the king grandaddy of all the clean scents.

This scent is fresh and aromatic, very far from his grandfather Azzaro pour homme.This is a water that can be worn at all times, but in any event always makes you feel right, it is delicate, discreet, romantic and color brings serenity and self-esteem is really good.

I don't know why but, I found this seriously similar to CK One! (Look at the notes they are similar too)

Anybody agree?
And I'm a little disappointed with this, it's just very safe, similar to some other fragrances...Just a blur! And it seems light and doesn't last on my skin as well :(

Back to that day on perfume store, I should buy Chrome Sport instead of this...

This is a very nice summer fragrance. Longevity on me is about 5-6 hours. The jasmine note is a very interesting note and adds a nice balance away from the "metallic" smell. I would say this is definitely a guy cologne, as I have been complimented by guys when I wear this more than women

Chrome is a brilliantly executed conceptual fragrance that suffers from having one fatal flaw - the wrong concept.

Yes, it smells like clean metal, but why exactly would anyone want to smell like clean metal? I don't often approach my wardrobe wishing to smell like R2D2 after a bath. It's kind of a nonstarter as far as I'm concerned.

Then again, it has its following, and I guess the gentle fruit and ozonic elements give it some much-needed panache. As '90s as it is, I don't smell Chrome and find myself time traveling. It seems to stand obscurely amidst a legion of similar offerings for men. Safe enough for the office, but I can think of a hundred other things that smell better.

This scent evokes a metallic zest to me, which is similar to how stainless steal would be, but with a soapy kicker! I love this bad boy, and I would say wear in late spring and all summer long. I would say this is a hold on scent until you try it out on you, which is the most important person. By the way, I own the 6.8 oz bottle of this, for good measure!

After much hesitation, I bought a tester of this some time ago. It's not that there is a problem with this, just that I tend to gravitate towards 'powerhouse fragrances'. I find it quite hard to identify individual notes in Chrome, however, I can give a general impression...

It is a crisp scent in which there is a subtle hint of citrus. There is an underlying woodiness which reminds me somewhat of a really subdued version of Oxygene by Lanvin (probably the cedar). I'm actually sniffing and typing and as it is evolving on my skin (about 30 minutes after applying) I detect the jasmine. The jasmine is not overpowering (which is really good, because any more would make it too feminine). This is a great summer fragrance, which lasts surprisingly well, though is really close to the skin for most of its life.

Lemon+coriander+oakmoss = metal!
This is very interesting fragrance. As the most people voted, it is made for the daily use even thought it can be worn during the night.
Opening of the perfume is citrusy with slight touch of wood. The heart of the perfume smells on a metal which is very unique! The heart is fresh and long lasting. After the metal note it develops into soft base with smell of warm wood (that is sandalwood). All in all, interesting fragrance with average projection and good longivity.
But who wants to smell on the most expensive ice cold metal, it should consider of buying Comme des Garcons Standard which is stronger, "colder" and without soft base!

I have two 100ml bottles of Chrome, a 30ml bottle and six 20ml travel edition bottles. I like Chrome a lot.

I discovered back in 2005 while doing the tourist thing of walking around a lot in hot European weather, that Chrome was the only scent that just kept on keeping me fresh when all my other scents either conked out, or got washed away in perspiration.

Back home in Australia I came across the 20ml travel edition bottles, and I have used up two of the eight in my subsequent vacations.

Most criticism of Chrome comes from the fact that it is a fairly linear scent, as it stays pretty much the same from start to finish. Since I prefer to smell fresh from the start to finish of the day, I don't see much validity in the criticism. Others have criticised Chrome for being metallic, aquatic, citrus etc, which to my mind has as much validity as criticising a floral scent for having florals in it.

I did later find other scents that kept me fresh in my travels - Diesel Plus Plus and Dali's Laguna - but for the hottest days, I always returned to Chrome.

It is instantly recognisable and has excellent projection. And I still marvel at how they managed to get a metallic smell into a scent - since metals don't really emit an odor.

Renato

I dont see what's so special about it. I'm gobsmacked by the rave reviews Chrome is getting because all I get is a metallic, aqua smell.
When I saw it a decided that "I'll try that one today" I wasn't expecting much at all, but I was still disappointed even further.

I bought this years ago when I was very young and I was obsessed with fresh smelling fragrances. Now I just cannot wear it anymore. It smells good and I like it but not on me, it's just way too fresh. Something changed in me a few years ago and I have moved on to more woodsy fragrances. I still have it and every now and then I spray it in my room and it smells good, just not on me.

My first reaction to the adverts shown above was: what the hell is this one trying to be? A fragrance for the whole (male) family?

But in fact, that makes perfectly sense when you consider the unremarkable, say-nothing scent that this one actually is. As about as useful as a suit for everyone - grandaddy, daddy and son. Huh? Throw it in the bin NOW!

I showered and put on one of my favorite scents Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea (yes, I'm female), but unfortunately it has no staying power and faded to nothing within under 2 hours. Feeling in a very citrus aromatic mood, I hunted through my cabinet to either reapply the GT or look for another that would last longer... spotted my hubby's Chrome.

One hearty spray and I'm feeling like an Oriental water nymph; Queen of the koi pond. I think it's the jasmine/bergamot/coriander/rosewood that hits this Asian girl on all the right notes and is almost airy and mystical, but enlightening on me... hard to describe. Unconventional use but I'm loving it and may just have to steal it from my man -- that's as long as he likes it on me.

By the way, it smells great on my man: a nice combination of warm and aquatic, fresh but with depth. Sexy and smart without being sleazy or overly complicated.

** Update: He says he doesn't want me to use it anymore as he'd rather I'd smell like a girl =)

I can't help but feel clean when I wear this. To me, it is a spring/summer scent. The longevity is crazy! I don't understand how a drugstore scent can destroy the longevity on much more expensive designer colognes!

Best if you don't overspray this one! My only issue with it is that after I wear it for a day, I don't have the desire to reach for it again any time soon. It is like Indian food. Once every 2 months is adequate.

On my skin:
Top: Soapy, aquatic scent for 1-4 hours, by far one of the longest top note for an aquatic on my skin.

Middle: Aquatic and fresh-citrus like scent, with a little woody scent creeping at the bottom. I have this for like 3-4 hours after the top note mark.

Base: synthetic-like scent, mixing the top and base note together 1-2 hours mark after middle notes.

For some reason, I hate this fragrance; it smells generic, and boring. But for sure it is a complement getter, many has mistaken this for CK One, but I am okay with it, this proves that a cheapy scent is on par with CK =).

All rounder scent, you can use it anytime, anywhere, but not at clubs, superb scent under the sun. People won't get offended, but people won't really care much for this scent, unless they are curious.

This is a BUY for aquatic lovers, and a PASS for aquatic haters. HAHA!

The country I am in has no 4 seasons, so it is either hot or cold weather. This is all rounder, it projects under the sun, and it sits quietly under the cold, air-conditioned place, but people will scent you.

My rating (base on 5 stars)

Scent: 1 (one fact: aquatics are unique for people who is a fan of aquatic, but for general people, not many can different-shape which is which).

Sillage: 3 (a whiff under cold weathers, a beast under the sun).

Time length: 5 (the only aquatic that sits on my skin for 8 hours++ sweet~~).

Occasion: 3 (school scent, Office scent, pina-colada with girls on the beach scent, you can use it for dates, but it will not leave much of an impression).

Overall base on mathematics: 3/5

Not bad for a cheapy, this is a dark horse for sure.

I've had a love/hate process with this one. At the beginning i couldn't smell it. Too sweet and intoxicating. A year after, i gave it a second chance, and now i really like it. Yes, it's very sharp in the first 5 minutes, but then it becomes a very comforting fragrance, that really makes me feel good all day long. I find it simillar to CK One, but this one is much more masculine.

Azzaro Chrome as the name suggests can be described only by 1 word:-METALLIC!!!
Opens with a burst of lemon accord, but has a metallic tune in it, which becomes more and more prominent as the citrus notes sublime.


Now about my opinion, I have got lots and lots of compliments wearing this perfume, but to me it's not a great one!! It's synthetic. N yup it has some detergent like smell!!! Moreover the jasmine notes in the middle is quite sharp, n sometimes it gives me a headache. Longevity is excellent, it's almost 8 hours on my skin!!So to me, it's just a clean one...not something extraordinary!!!

Chrome is a true classic clean mens fragrance. It is nothing like your run-of-the-mill citrus aromatics. It is sweet(just enough) and it is aromatic and fresh, but it outshines(like its namesake) most of the others in this family...

I must admit when I look up a fragrance I am interested in I want to see the "notes" for it. This is the only fragrance so far that has had different notes listed on 3 different on-line communities and one very reputable retail site. Quite perplexed I got in touch with Azzaro Paris and they said this is what the PR says: Citron, Bigarade(bitter orange),mandarin, grapefruit and bergamot in the top; a heart"like the ocean", greens, ginger and an "adventurous spirit". No base notes or drydown was given...hmmm, I thought if this is what the distributor says why is everyone and their brother saying it has some of these plus everything from ivy/lichen to mate (tea from South America) to rosewood and gardenia?! And I believe that since no clear, concise pyramid was offered the answer is in the nose (and impressions) of the smeller. So, I decided to spray it on paper and see just what is going on...

On the initial spray it releases a citrus melange that just sparkles. I detect bergamot, lemon, some orange alongside greens(petit grain) and very transparent florals(neroli,jasmine, maybe cyclamen?).As it moves toward the heart soft watery spices appear(cardamom, corriander) and there is a light zesty ginger accord for sure.There is a whiff of something slightly musky in there too,perhaps the moss beginning to emerge in the base. I get no pineapple unless it is just sweetening the fresh, zesty citruses.I do get a metallic feel from this one but nothing like the "frosted metal" scent of NOW. The drydown is a fine blend of light woods(sandal, rosewood, maybe cedar), musk and only a hint of tonka bean, if any at all(this could be the musky green scent between the heart and base). The mate tea is a definite posibility because that IS in Polo Explorer and I notice similar greens in both of these. Let's face it regardless of what the Industry says is in it or WE think is in it, this fragrance is simply beautiful (the way a man is beautiful yet still manly and sexy)and is still racking up sales 11 years later. "Notes" are really, I've been told, just scents the compounds in the juice resemble or remind our brains of, still it is nice to think they are really in there...at the risk sounding cliche, Chrome really does shine...and, like its namesake shows no signs of tarnish.

Sillage; good
Longevity: very good
Overall: 4/5

Ultimately all reviews are personal opinions and this one is mine. But you gotta think after 11 years on the market you see a college boy buying a 3.4 oz bottle in a superstore somebody did something right. This fragrance is reminiscient of youth and was actually inspired by Loris Azzaro's weekends with his grandson and things that are passed down from father to son. So whether your 18 or 81 if you want a crisp, clean, sexy scent reach for this...

Hi.

I absolutely LOVED this scent.why?Because CHROME is everything i want from Citrus Aromatic and one of the most fresh fragrances in my collection.

At first spray is so fresh,strong and cold.i found lemon and pineapple always makes it a nice combination the girls love it.in my mind this fragrance house seems a quite little treasure trove of olfactory!

CHROME is great for daytimes/spring and for wearning with casual.much better than the CHROME LEGEND and longevity is +6 hours on my skin.it is great to buy if you want CITRUS,CLEAN and FRESH fragrance as the price is convenient too.

7.5/10

Clean and woody musk scent that is the first fragrance I wore when I was 16. I remember when it came out. This got me into fragrances. Not sweet, just clean and soapy smell. Great for casual wear.Good longevity and projection.

Smells very clean and like citrus. Kinda has a soapy dry down. Does not last long on my skin but lasts a long time on my clothing. Kinda reminds me of Esteé Lauder Pleasures when it drys.

I agree that this is a very sexy scent on a man...not sexy in an obtrusive, animalic way (which can be offputting to many sensitive noses!) but sexy in a way that makes you want to just snuggle and stay close to him because he makes you feel safe, secure and all woozy on the inside :)

It may not be a 'macho' scent...but it is definitely the kind of scent you want to bury your nose into :) so fresh, clean, crisp, so uncomplicated and unpretentious...yet so indescribably amazing and understatedly erotic somehow, in a way I just can't explain...

Oh yes, and it IS masculine, and not feminine or even unisex at all. It is masculine without being dirty or aggressive...it is masculine while still being dignified and responsible...it is soft and gentle without being metrosexual or androgynous...it is strong and confident without being brutish...it is cool calm and collected, but with an inner will of pure steel only befitting a real man.

It evokes feelings of trust and comfort and all things nice...I love this on a man...just love, love, love.....this is definitely a scent for the 'perfect husband' or the 'perfect boyfriend' ;)

Well even if he isn't perfect, he can atleast smell like he is with this fragrance :p

This really is a super-versatile, gentleman scent, suitable for men of all ages I'd say...because you're never too young or too old to smell like a gentleman :) Highly recommended!!

A very nice and truly "FRESH" fragrance, How fresh it is? It is fresher than the Bvlgari Aqva Marine minus the fishy smell, Freshness last longer than Davidoff Cool Water minus the strong powderish scent! And much better than the over popular CK One!

It start with very nice citrusy aquatic scent, then transform to very nice subtle floral + musky scent and last with a very soft woody scent! I give 9/10 for such cool fresh fragrance, totally chill you out during hot sunny day or clubbing in the summer nite!

Lasting power more than 5 hours, very good for a fresh scent line! with very mild floral hints towards the end! Amazingly seductive!

Must have it if you like refreshing fragrance with a hint of floral and aquatic! Which is perfect for hot summer or tropical country!

Update: This juice save me from melting in a superb hot sunny day! The sharp metalic scent does give me extra boost and energy to get the heat off! Try it guys!

Chrome is the best fragrance my husband owns, it's refreshing citrus and crisp freshness is a treat to the female senses. I love to smell this on him. I had no idea that there were so many florals in this fragrance. This is a very sexy scent for a man without being hyper masculine or heavy. I really like to smell this one.

A very sophisticated citrus fragrance, indeed. It is like a more "educated" CK One, with more masculine notes and more expensive-smelling. Definitely this is suitable for both casual wear, everyday wear, but would not put you in a ridiculous situation at a wedding, too. Timeless, very well blended, it does have some metallic notes, but considering the name, maybe this is the idea. However, it is better than Echo by Davidoff, another metallic scent. A mate from college told me that she finds Chrome more sexy than the "feminine" Acqua di Gio pour Homme. Those were here words, not mine. The lasting power is very good and the sillage is excellent.

have to say that the citrus is kinda outdated, scents are now more FRESH medleys with other notes and some depth but probably will be a classic with some people

I really enjoy this fresh citrus fragrance. It's very simple and has universal appeal in terms of a nice smell, and probably why it's so damn popular. It's very similar to CK One, but Chrome's a bit more masculine than CK One. Not sure if you'll stand out of the crowd wearing this, but it's fun to wear!

Good scent. Longevity is beyond 4 hours. Sillage is average. However, the citrus is a bit sharp. Actually I'm not very fond of wearing Chrome on a hot day afternoon. I like wearing Chrome on a cool breezy noon after the summer rains pours. Ahhh the scent trails lingers and melts my heart.

From the myriad of men fresh and sportive fragrances this one is apart, as it skips the agressive dry down. Maybe this is due to vetiver missing. It is the masculine correspondent of perfumes evoking beach lotion. Sunny and delicate, like the sea water drops on the body.

Chrome is completely the antithesis of the kind of fragrances I buy or wear. I hate trendy, "fresh", "blue" or "sports" fragrances. However, I like Chrome. Yes, it has almost no detectable natural materials, yes it kind of smells like shampoo, and yes, it's blue. But Chrome is a very cheerful and uplifting fragrance, especially in warm weather. Forget about how critics pan it, how it smells synthetic and how it smells a lot like the clone juice that keeps being stocked in the department stores, and just enjoy it for what it is - a light, easy fragrance to wear. For me, those qualities are almost always the death knell for me, but Chrome, for some reason I can't put my finger on, appeals to me and allows me to set it apart from the rest of the crap that passes for "fine fragrance" in the mainstream fragrance market. No, it will never replace Eau Sauvage, Equipage, Yatagan or Kouros for me, but Chrome (like Old Spice) is just a nice easy fragrance to throw on when I just want something simple.

Chrome absolutely didn't work on me. It must be one that is very different depending on the wearer. On me it had an awful metallic smell. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to wash off either. I had to wait until it wore off, and my wife didn't want to come near me.

Very pleasant, completely non-offensive. Fresh sporty+herbs+woods that are well combined but not of note. It's a huge seller at the shop, with mass appeal. My hairdresser wears it, and swears it is a "chick magnet".

I like to write a little a review about this beautiful man fragrance.

For me is the symbol of freshness. Every time after the shower I spray it myself with a little bit of Chrome. For me is the supreme feeling of freshness,cold but in the same time aromatic. It reminds me of my childhood, after a cold rain in mountains when the sun rays and warms all the aromatic herbs. Every time I wore it i feel amaizing...and I am a woman.

Woody-fresh fragrance all the way. A true hit. At the opening it has a very fresh, almost metallic scent, but goes away quick as the middle notes come & i start to feel the "green" notes. At the end it's all wood... If u love woody scents, u'll love this one. It's clean, fresh & comfy, but being a bit sweet & classy i like to wear it on evenings.
Also the base scent last about 12 hours on me.
