The Chronic Rouge Extreme

I love this perfume and I think about this perfume frequently even if I'm not reaching for it. On my skin it pulls more strawberry like than raspberry regardless it smells amazing. Byron really does fruit notes right. The melon/pear I think is what gives the raspberry a smooth quality. The ozonic/aquatic touch to this is what really makes it stand out to me. The whipped cream has this touch of vanilla paired with the most non offensive powdery note that just makes this scent so creamy. I cannot detect patchoulli so that is a win for everyone who struggles with that note. Maybe the sandalwood and cinnamon provide the warmth. Okay so enough of my version of the note breakdown... to me this does not smell like Chantilly. This is better blended, higher end and just an overall better delivery of this scent profile. There is a bit of an early 2000s vibe to this perfume but done with lots of class. I see many people have this scent disappear. I dunno, I'd agree that the projection isn't remarkable but I have no issues smelling this on myself for hours. It does borderline a skin scent and even though I'd prefer it to be stronger...this is more of a clean, fresh out of the shower fragrance imo. Appropriate for all seasons, non cloying and raspberry done right. If Byron made an oil, lotion, hair perfume of this scent i would buy it with no hesitation.

At 35 Celcius and a day after i can still smell these waves of Chronic as i am sweating a little bit. Its a more subtle fragrance, i use to overspray but for this fruity-creamy DNA it is beast mode. I would like to know how ir projects to others but i dont really care. Someone described it as intoxicating. Thats true if you like sweet fragrances. This is redfruity, creamy, airy and slightly powdery. An easy grab for the office as it is not offending but it has nothing mysterious in it. I find it more playfull and innocent. This doesnt scream „modern, powerwoman“, has (for me) no sexiness but who cares? 😅

I bought a small sample so I can't really comment on longevity etc after allowing it to sit because it was a 1ml decant, but on first sniff I get a realistic raspberry blast which is super fruity and delicious! Almost smells edible, very gourmand. Then the whipped cream, amber and woody notes come in very soon after and it dries down to a raspberry caramel scent. I do hope once sat for a month or two it gets stronger, but I am still willing to add this to my 'To Buy' list. It really is delicious. I would say this is a summer-scent but could be worn all year round

This is a fruity gourmand with a deep sultry vibe. I get the fruity whipped cream elements in the top notes and the amber and spicy notes add a sexy edge to it. It’s not your typical easy wear fruity fragrance. It’s more of a night out turn heads fragrance. I love to layer it with Beija Flor cream from Sol De Janeiro. That combination is an instant confidence booster for me. Price tag on this one is hefty so I’m holding on to my decant for dear life but I will purchase full bottle when it’s gone.

Someone check my pulse, died and gone to heaven. I thought all Bryon perfumes were dupes but examining “smells like” I don’t see a high priced equivalent. It is fruit 🍉 🍎 🍌 with whipped cream, the Redi cream type with a enough richness to counteract the artificialness of cream in a can. I am testing a sample so I can’t speak to silage or projection but I would not mind an overspray or 10 of this. Full bottle worthy. If you like sweet perfumes this is a terrific blind buy!
