Chrome Pure, from Azzaro was released in 2017. The perfumer behind this creation is Jacques Huclier and Olivier Pescheux. It has the top notes of Bergamot and Mandarin Orange, middle notes of Akigalawood, Orange Blossom, and Water, and base notes of Cedarwood, Mate, Musk, and Tonka Bean.
I'm not a big Azzaro Chrome guy, I have owned one of the flankers and on the whole they are good value for money, entry level aquatics. However, I'm not sure about these comparisons, especially to Brit Rhythm and my beloved Eau de Lacoste Blanc. I can sort of see how maybe, I suppose they are in the same style but Chrome Pure is better than Brit and not a patch on Blanc. Chrome Pure opens nicely enough with nice citrus notes and a sort lychee/melony lightness which is very nice, refreshing and all that. Then it's lightly floral, orange blossom is listed in the notes and I'll go along with that although it's not characteristically distinct, it is white floral in nature. There's a summery coolness about this and I'm trying it in winter so it's immediately not appropriate. The drydown is an aquatic/wood/musk, enjoyable but not earth shattering and the performance was okay to quiet. I'm being extra fair to it because I reckon it will be in bargain bins in no time and if you like it might be a nice little summer bargain for someone.
