Chrome Legend Azzaro for men

Overall I think I like this but it is hard work initially. I've tried it many times to try and get my nose around it.
The first 90 minutes or so are not very nice. It is crisply citrus and clean smelling but unpleasantly chemical. It is almost a metallic note - a tangy, bitter sharpness. Like some solvents smell. And it smells very strong.

After 90 minutes it softens but is still synthetic. It is fresher and more natural with some woodiness/muskiness.

After 3 or 4 hours it is at its best. It gets a spicier, darker edge and seems to fit together better rather than being dominated by the synthetic/chemical notes.

This is massive on sillage with better than average longevity. A good citrus summer scent.

The big downside is that chemical/synthetic quality which persists throughout but is almost unbearable early on. Not sure I'm willing to put up with the first few hours to get to the 4 or 5 hours that I enjoy.

I don't get the apple notes at any point - maybe it gets hidden in the chemical note.
Don't blind buy this one.

Excellent scent, strong when you first spray it but when it settles down it's awesome. I just got into the whole scent world and imeediately fell in love with this fragrance. brilliant for its value for money as well.

great one for daily use,not like the original,fresh and sweet scent with very good longevity.love it.

Superb......... Very Nice........ Long Lasting........ The Best Perfume... Very Good Smell...... Everyone can smell u in the crowed...... Please get it......

I was impressed once I smelled this Chrome version. It does not smell like the original. You smell the apple, it is fruity but masculine on the same side but the most of this perfume, is the dry down. The dry down is fantastic, the smell of apple influenced by the tea, resin and woods make it very nice. I suggest this to everyone, it is a good try. Another one nice perfume with apple is the Silver Black, again from Azzaro. I have silver black but never got Chrome legend, it didnt happen so far but is one that i will definitely buy soon. Try both! both are nice but I think I prefer Chrome Legend....In a side with the top sillage monsters, this perfume was mentioned in the top ten, together with joop Homme, A Men, Opium pour homme parfum, 1 million etc. A must try, all weather perfume.

Clean, crisp and very long lasting. Sillage is too good...a monster u can say..A true Legend...a masterpiece...

Just received Chrone Legend today. When I was at dinner, 2 people asked me what scent I was wearing. I am not an expert on scent, however I can say that this combination is really amazing for me. Growing up in the 80s with Polo (green), Eternity and Escape, I can confidently say that this is a fresh, long lasting intriguing EDT, that after 1 day I love.

This one was my very first high price purchase, aside form the obvious cheap ones I have like old spice, gravity, etc. I tried about 4 fragrances at the pharmacy and this one by far outdid the 3 others I had on my arm, and my wife agreed too.
To me its a perfect summer night scent, for a semi special occasion, or everday use. Its really a great one. I projects ok and last ok considering fresh scents don't usually last or project that well.
An alternative would be Versace pour homme, which is better, and less synthetic but projects a bit less.
9/10 for me
I have tried regular Chrome, and this one is just bad for me, sort of reminded me of windex with citrus, no depth whatsoever, chrome legend does have a lot more depth and balanced sweetness. a must try

to my nose I get the coconut aroma , icy and quite a refreshing scent . clean and suitable for day wear . poor longevity and projection tho , but I like it close to my skin .

VERY COOL...its longivity exccellent...smells fruity will mark it9/10....

Azzaro Chrome Legend gives you great value for the money.
Very clean and nice fragrance which is totally inoffensive. Anyone from the age of 5 and up :P can wear this.
Projection and longevity are superb. For me, and I have dry skin, one spray on the chest lasts a whole day and is clearly smellable until late at night.

Very fresh and long lasting scent. Best for late spring/summer. My rating: 9/10.
یک عطر تابستانه بسیار دلنشین و خوشبو
برای آقایان بین 20تا35 سال ایده ال است

Let me put this way: If this was my first fragrance I would have given up wearing perfumes once and for all.

Anyway, it seems to satisfy lots of people. I DO NOT recommend a blind buy!

Nasty. Just nasty. It took Dawn soap, baby wipes, and FINALLY....Irish Spring Aloe to get this slithering mess scrubbed off of me. It produced an instant headache that pierced my skull all the way through. I get no fresh, no fruity, no cooool.... I get a razor sharp rendition of CK Eternity (women). I'm shutting up now as there is nothing good about this juice. Chemical, cold, painful & boring.

Hello all,

I received a sample of Chrome Legend along with a purchase a few years ago. It was ABSOLUTELY amazing. I had never really been a big fan of the original Chrome (though it has grown on me) and thought that they finally got it right with this one. Mind you, I am still speaking of the sample (decant). I liked it so much that we went back to the store and picked up a few more samples (cheap skates, I know). So here I am, a few years later and I finally made the purchase. I don't know WTF is going on here, but I am pissed! My 4.2 oz bottle smells NOTHING like I remember! Well maybe a little. However, I am getting WAAAYYYY more cedar than I remember and MUCH LESS citrus!! It smells like Polo original (gag!) mixed with musk and a little apple. This can't be normal! Someone, please help me! Let me know if I have done something wrong here!

P.S. - I definitely tested on my skin first and bought it at the same place.

just got this scent today and i dont like the smell, it cause me nausea, i'd better give this to my father, smell like for oldies!

It's own unique scent stands alone saying, "I'm Azzaro Chrome Legend" Strong, Loud, and Bright. Seems like a fun fragrance. Kind of peppery. Not that fruity. I get a little green apple. It's tonka bean, amber sweet. The lite musk, oakmoss, tea, cedar round it out. It's a lot stronger and different than most of what I own. I just don't know when the right time to wear it will ever be.

I read somewhere that women like to use this as well, so I went to test it in a perfume shop and came home with a blotter on which the fragrance lasted very long. The smell indeed turned pleasant and delicately sweet, so I decided to buy it and I am so happy to own it.

It is so refreshing and optimistic - the fruits are not cloying, and the otherwise hated green tea note seems to work here just fine. I get the cedar, but no vetiver (which is a pity, but still, I cannot complain as the overall effect is wonderful).
I have to admit that there is a tinge of the classic masculine cologne aura in the fragrance, yet the fruits and the oakmoss make it a true unisex perfume by today's standards, with the delicate and summery sweetness.

This is going to be my "go to" summer or holiday scent - it might be a very good idea to take just one bottle of Chrome Legend and share it with my husband during a vacation trip.
Excellent longevity and constant refreshment guaranteed.
Simply fantastic!

Very fresh and long lasting scent. Best for late spring/summer. My rating: 7/10.

Nice scent but I got bored with it pretty quickly. It is similar to Chrome but smells like butter was added to it. Sounds weird, but that's what I get. I think there are so many more interesting scents to wear.

6/10

I bought this not long after I bought the original Chrome. In my opinion it is superior to the original. It is definitely more sweet but not overly sweet. The fruit is very attractive - the apple and bitter orange blend very well. It is a very 'refreshing' scent - a bit like a jug full of some cold watery beverage containing twists of citrus on a hot summer day.

Chrome Legend lasts longer and projects further than Chrome. Add a little Hugo Boss or Davidoff Echo to the original Chrome and you'd probably have something like Legend.

Got a sample of it and i must say that i love it gonna get it very soon!!!

I'm not overly fond of Chrome Legend.

I don't like it much for the first two hours, but after that it settles down to an unusual and interesting woody scent.

Regards,
Renato

i bought this today at Ross for 19.99. but only cuz of the name and i must say.... ill give it a 3 out of 5. its not a must have. its fresh, citrus...but its a tad bit too strong. not as in its loud but its something in it, maybe the musk in the first hour makes it where u can barley smell the citrus and freshness.... if u can get through the first hour. its a good cologne then

I was so impressed by this cologne! It was last year(2010) when I first heard about it. I was an exchange student in the USA. I am from Bulgaria. And a friend of mine, who is Arabic told me about it. It was his cologne. I didn't find it that good back then. Yesterday I went to a local shop for colognes and perfumes and I sniffed it. I had enough money in my pocket so I got the 40ml bottle. It smells soooo good! This reminds me of summer days, when walking near the sea, shopping or just chilling. This is a great cologne and ladies here in Bulgaria love it during the summer. It works great if you are going out at 6pm till around 9pm when the sun goes down. You have to get another one after 9 because this one is not for night use. It has good longevity for its price.(6 hours on my skin with 4 sprays). 2 on my neck and 2 on my wrists.

Whenever I wear this scent I think of beach, beach, beach. Very good scent for very hot weather, chiefly here in Rio. It's a pitty I've been told by the salesperson that Chrome Legend hasn't been produced any longer. I consider it stronger than the original Chrome.

not my type but still like wearing in hot days,some times ;;)
6/10

The fragrance in this olfactory never really get me all excited. When I come across this Azzaro Legend at $15, I give it a shot and see what's up. Well, sadly I am still not so thrilled even with the magic touch from Azzaro.

the scent is pretty obvious as it's very fruity, sweet, and aromatic. To me, it smells kinda like artificial fruity apple drink mix for a cheap party. It's fresh with a sweet mouth watering feel. Then it gets kinda mossy, but the strangely mix of sweetness is still present. I put a blame on the tonka bean. It gives the scent something unnatural like using Stevia instead of pure cane sugar.

Azzaro Legend is not a bad scent. It should appeal to many perfumees out there, but look away for those who don't care for sweet fruity scent.

Update: The flimsy plastic top just came apart. It's disappointing.

I was gifted the shower gel for this scent by my best girl at my fave frag counter. I knew about it, but thought 'Oh, another aquatic, JOY!' (smirk), but after smelling and trying the bath gel, I changed my opinion entirely...

This has a nautical air to it, but is not your typical aquatic. It begins with a bright blend of granny smith apple, bigarade and "calone"-watery, sour and bitter blend into something...dare I say it?..FRESH! It has hints of spice and the pleasing aroma of tea, blended with south american mate'. These notes combine so clearly and cleanly you really get the feel of water and wind from it but it does not last long enough to be boring. The heart is a 'foamy' mix of sea spray saltiness, mossy green and clear musk tinged with an almost anisey feel, only much cooler and smoother. The drydown has vetiver's grassy rootlike scent combined with some cedar and just enough tonka to add gentle richness. I do like the original a great deal but I think I like this one more, in the summer months anyway. It is much smoother than Chrome and adds a fruity twist that is refreshing and not cloying or feminine. Legend is a flanker, yes, but it is just different enough from the original to warrant having-especially if you enjoy really fresh scents...and I do.

Sillage: good
Longevity: okay
Overall: 4.25/5

The idea behind CL was something a man could pass to his son and him to his son. The ad shows grandfather, father and son on the water in a sailboat, smiling in the summer sun...and to an extent it's true-this kind of scent never really goes out of style. Light, fresh, clean with a bit of spice, greens and woodiness...but here it's done just right...

This really is an excellent fragrance that reminds you what a wonderful ingredient ambergris can be in men's fragrances. I think this is on par with Azzaro Pour Homme as this house's best men's fragrance. I particularly love its classiness and versatility - day or night, casual or smart, etc. Yes, it is a bit sweet-sour but in an attractively intriguing way IMAO and has the ability to polarise opinions (a good point in my book). It's distinctive enough to use as a signature fragrance (a "buttery breeze" as I've seen it described somewhere - LOL) and lasts a long time with very good sillage. Wonderful bottle too and good value for money as it is 125mls as opposed to the usual 100mls and is reasonably priced. It's linear (so what when it smells this good?). I've tried hard to find something to criticise here but have failed woefully - doh!. Simply brilliant.

This is a solid fragance in some points. You can identify a touch of the original chrome, some metallic-green notes are there but with legend that touch is hidden by an oceanic-fruity angle. Longevity and sillage are powerful but not agressive.finally is a great fragance, i agree is nothing new but in some elements you can put legend in a great place. very manly, fresh in other kind of freshness, versatile; you can wear it in many moments/situations and you feel right with this fragance, surely you have compliments wearing LEGEND.

Hi.

Chrome legend is modern and fruity.strong opening.my friends asked what i was wearning and told me i smelled so fresh and young!

but nothing special for me middle/base notes are much more better than top notes.the longevity is very good on my skin and quite good for hot days summer.
anyway i prefer original version!

6.5/10

Well, after using this for a time, I think there's some changes on my mind about this fragrance!

First, I have been thought this is one of the best scents that I own. But now, I'm not so sure about that anymore...

I agree with Periquito89 and Scenturian, there's something strange about it. It happens sometime, seems like a gas station.
Yeah, it is! And it's really creepy. Even one time, I almost felt nausea!
It's strange, isn't it?

Is that beacause of the weather? Because when i bought this, it's cold! But now it's April, much hotter!

Not liked too much at first time, but after sometimes wearin it, i changed my mind! Very fresh and long lasting, amazing smell. Here in brazilian hot weather for me is perfect :::)))))))

I bought this today, it's even better than the original! My god it's amazinggggggg! Both apple and tea - my favourite notes - are here.
It's just like a fresh cup of apple tea! Love it! :x
But I doubt this scent is quite similar to Lacoste Essential, but sweeter!

i thought about buying this..i have the original chrome which is great scent...

long lasting scent...i will buy this in the future and give it a try

its hard to come behind a classic,much less use the same name,but these guys did an outstanding job with this one.2 THUMBS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see there's mixed feelings about Chrome Legend, and the only thing I can say is that I wear this cologne and get nothing but compliments. Women love this scent but the only thing is not compatible with all skin type. The best advice I can give you is ask the salesperson if the scent smells good on you or bring a lady friend with you.

Better on the paper than on my skin. When I saw the review "it definitely smells like a gas station, benzine", by scenturian, very different from the others, I read it with reservations. But there is something like that, a strong and sharp or metallic accord, not so pleasant, at least when smelled close to the skin. No, thank you.

A male friend of mine wears this on a daily basis and I must say that it's quite pleasant.

This is my first introduction to Azzaro fragrances and so far I'm liking them. Chrome Legend is a quite a fresh and crisp, almost marine like scent. The apple, tea and bitter orange notes give this fragrance an interestingly sharp yet clean quality in the opening.

The apple is the dominant note from beginning to end which makes this scent rather fruity yet masculine at the same time. Initially the scent starts out sweet and light, however seconds later the scent becomes a rich and refreshing blend with subtle hints of vetiver and woodsy notes in the drydown.

Chrome Legend has fabulous lasting strength and sillage, so be careful when applying. I recommend this cologne as a nice choice for wear this coming Spring/Summer.

SUPER SEXY FOR ALL PPL long all day an so unigue perfume

a sharper version of chrome IMO i don't see the diffrence in scents they are virtually IDENTICAL and it really is not that extrarodinary

it starts out with a fresh very citrus blast at first its little dark but after some time it will make everybady fresh.The longevity is very good.very good to use in summer condition,nice cologne i like it

If you like fresh and very fruity scents this one is made for you. For me it's a unisex fragrance. In a word: inoffensive.

P.S. Nice bottle.

It definitely smells like a gas station, benzine.
I wasnt able 2smell anything else. What causes this i dont know, maybe bitter orange. However i m not a fan of the original it smells much much more better than this.

This fragrange is wonderful. The longevity is very good; not close to skin. You can smell it all the day. Apple note can be realized easily. The bottle is fantastic.

smells fatastic!
i bought this for my boyfriend and i hope he likes it..i think it smells so fresh and more mature than the original Chrome..i love it :)

very very nice perfume i take it yestardy so strong and fresh

FRESH, FRUITY & COOL!

Azzaro Chrome Legend is a perfect wear for summer days and recommended for day time. The fragrance design gives a feel to remember one’s college / teen life. I have also used Azzaro Chrome frequently in Past and in my opinion it has its own class and is not quite resembled with the other. ACL is more fruity more fresh and remains fruity even at its dry-down while AC is more citric less fruity with woody dry-down.

Casual but I classified it as Romantic / Casual and she loves it!

This is a bit sweet, and completely unisex. Nice notes, but with a flimsy base. Very metrosexual.

I like Chrome Legend better than "Chrome". Chrome smelled great, but didn't last. After about 1-2 hours, it was pretty much over. Chrome Legend has legs! It starts out fresh and citrus and hangs in there for a good 5 hours! It is soft and fresh, yet has enough manliness to it. I did have to put on just a little more than "normal", so I would not go light on this one. I think this is an EXCELLENT spring or summer cologne for guys. A nice citrus/aquatic smell. Personally though, I think I prefer Zegna Z over Chrome Legend. Zegna Z has a little more staying power and is a tad stronger/manlier, whereas Chrome Legend may be a tad "weak" after several hours and would be just a little more than a fresh deodorant.
