Chrome

I was surprised to find this on sale in a huge fragrance shop in London's Westfield. Even better, it was on offer at more than 50% off and there was a tester available. I sprayed the back of my hand and had a sniff. To my surprise it not only smelt pretty acceptable but reminded me of something I knew well – it's pretty close to Uomo by Ermenegildo Zegna. It's similarly floral with aquatic notes. At the price on offer it was too good a deal to pass up on. Recommended as a perfect 'work day' scent if you can pick it up on offer.

An excellent fougere. Well-done Yardley!

Got it cheap. Generic fresh fragrance, no wow factor, largely based around lavander note. Very dilute and takes several applications. Starts fresh (light zing of bergamot, lightly Aquatic freshness, no apple)-lavandery and shortly moves to peppery-lavander(no rose, this is dry crisp smell of furn/green coriander). As lavander fades away, all is left lightly musky , thinly ambery smell with traces of furn greenery. This is very safe morning fragrance. It does not have longevity, nor projection. By lunch time, it will be gone. Did not work for me, majorly because of lavander and weak basenotes, not a fan of furn/coriander either

Nothing original, but a pleasant and totally safe scent. After a while it becomes a nice, close-to-skin aquatic. For the outlet price I paid for it, definitely worth buying.

Oh ! How is it possible that Azzaro doesn't sue them for using the name Chrome ? Maybe they don't read Fragrantica at Azzaro ?
