Regatta

I've never smelled CK1 or the original Chrome,but this does remind me of a more powdery version of Aqua Di Gio with a more up front aquatic note. If anything out of the Azzaro line that this reminds me of its Solarissimo Marettimo,but again this one is more powdery and the neroli note is doing a lot of the heavy lifting. It really shines in the heat,but this might be one of the few aquatics that could do well in the spring/fall Just 10 sprays and I got about 8 hours and for a fresh aquatic that's fantastic. I find this one is slightly more unisex so it could be pulled off by a lady.

It is OG chrome and CK1 combined and last over 8 hours on me with 6-7 sprays. Love it

#update. I've been wearing this more and more recently and it's probably better than my original review. I'm getting a good day 8 hours performance on it, and therefore I think it lasts longer than the CKone I was comparing it to, and it's cheaper. It smells very clean and fresh, definitely masculine and grown up and more soapy tea than sweet and fruity. I originally said get Armaf Oddessy Aqua instead if you wanted a clean long lasting freshie. I've changed my mind, get both! This has definitely grown on me. Decent cheapie, safe reliable clean fresh and herbal bath soak type scent, hint possibly of a green tea vibe. It's incredibly similar to CK1, and that's it's problem. This is slightly cheaper but CK1 isn't exactly expensive, so this doesn't make sense over the original, unless you can get the for a killer deal? It could be an alternative option, but there would be little point having both in your collection. This is decent, it won't offend, it's versatile and it you want something affordable for a quick zap, this does the trick. Again though, for just a few £ more, something like the armaf oddessy line is available. If you're looking for affordable options that deliver amazing bang for buck, id probably go there honestly. Something like oddesy aqua would be better than this one and it's only a bit more money.

Honestly I mainly bought this because of how appealing the beautiful bottle looks - silly, I know. Thankfully this smells exactly how it looks. I agree completely with the "CK One + marine" comments. It's definitely quite simplistic; airy lemon with a musky, marine body, accentuated by ginger and cedar. It's so casual and light-hearted; not one for any sort of formal situation. You can only critique simple freshies to a certain point, but this feels l like a very good one. The longevity seems decent too - it leaves a sweet citrusy cleanliness on your skin for hours. I'm looking forward to spraying it liberally on hot days for the rest of this summer. The more I've worn it, the more I see a Nautica Voyage element to it; it doesn't quite have the cucumber/calone of Voyage, but does bring a similar fruity marine feel. EDIT: I did wear this on a sunny holiday, for two weeks straight and yeah I need a break from it now - it's bland simplicity began to grate on me after a while! I guess I need to use scents like this as refreshing palate cleansers, not daily wears.

I like this one better then Riviera... Sure it feels like a combination of a few well known fragrances mentioned above... But it does find a way to “do it’s own thing” as well. I like (as lucasgeton mentions) how the opening is very fresh and bright.. somewhat similar to Yef, Chrome, etc... But has a warm semi-powdery dry down. Reminds me slightly of another great summer cheapie, Salvatore Ferragamo F Free Time... Ginger, Cardamom, Musk, Cedar... For the price ($15 rack stores / 90ml) it’s a solid summer pick up. In its price range... it’s nice. If you come across F Free Time... Grab that too.
