No interest

smelled yesterday on a work colleague, I thought it was Paco Rabanne invictus.

a perfume to favor in summer to feel fresh.

personally I don't like invictus so I don't like this one, this smell is too common, too prone to becoming banal and boring.

what is the point of copying a smell from another brand? yet another perfume made in a hurry to meet specifications

And not just for summer!

Because the grassy pine forest suits every season. Of course, in summer the meadows are the greenest and numerous herbs are in their prime. For example, sage with its finely bitter-fresh green and aromatic scent. Bergamot evokes the freshness of spring, of bright mornings after a cool night. And the pleasantly mild days when everything begins to turn green.
In autumn, pistachios ripen, scoring with their slightly sweet-nutty aromas. Winter approaches, when damp fog rises and plays around the treetops of firs and other conifers, coaxing out their green resinous scents.
Close by is a larger lake, sometimes a rough wind sweeps across it, carrying fine strands of water ashore. Other times, the sun shines brightly on it, evaporating some lake water, whose moisture hangs cool in the air. And at another time, it rains heavily, mixing its surface with thick droplets. In any case, it then smells slightly "aquatic," but always a bit differently. In my opinion, all of this is beautifully and vividly captured in this lovely perfume. Not just another X-th flanker of a flanker, but a standalone scent.

Quest for Blue - Tannen galore

Is this the final form of Chrome? After several flankers that have taken different directions, I was curious to see how this final form would manifest and which variant it would take as a basis.

It has become "Chrome (Eau de Parfum) | Azzaro." The influence clearly leans towards the green/woody direction. You can also slightly detect the berry note from "Chrome Extrême | Azzaro."

The opening is fresh, but very quickly the main part with the fir and generally woody sweet tones comes in. There is relatively little aquatic and citrus here. Overall, it is very powerful, deep, and strong in aroma. Definitely not a 0815 shower gel or freshie.

In the end, there is too little of the core DNA present; instead, aspects are emphasized that are good but do not capture the essence of Chrome for me. From a design perspective, it is definitely a perfume and a good scent. However, it is not a blind buy just because you like Chrome; it is too woody for that.

Longevity and sillage are quite decent, not as bad for me as described below.

The story with the skin...

I always find it fascinating how differently scents can develop from skin to skin and how they are perceived. Chrome Parfum is a prime example of this:
Out of curiosity, I took a look at the other reviews and statements here: dark, woody, earthy, similar to Chrome Eau de Toilette, not similar to Chrome Eau de Toilette, to name just a few. In any case, it is completely different from my perception.

On my skin, the scent starts off indefinably fresh. I can't pull out a clear note for the life of me. Towards the drydown, the scent becomes airier and more synthetic. A slight mix of lavender and sage also comes through. At this stage, Chrome Parfum could also be a distant relative of Y (2022) Eau de Toilette. Even though I'm not a huge fan of this fragrance, so far I found the composition bearable. But then it got worse. Suddenly, Chrome drifts towards Adidas IceDive deodorant. Fresh, synthetic - or the perfect recipe for a headache. It only lasts about an hour, but it's still really hard for me to tolerate. Chrome Parfum is then not as overwhelming, but unfortunately not much remains, and the scent increasingly fades, with individual notes lost in the synthetic jungle.

I have the original Chrome Eau de Toilette and in my opinion, Chrome Parfum has little to nothing to do with it. On my skin, neither the characteristic metallic note nor the citrus of the EdT comes through. For me, the scent does not feel like a flanker of Chrome Eau de Toilette; it fits best into the YSL Y family.

The performance is unfortunately also meh. The sillage is very close to the body; at times, it was hard for me to even perceive the scent. Particularly disappointing is the longevity. From a perfume, I would really expect more than 5 hours, which is already a generous estimate.

All in all, I have to say that I really hoped for more. Chrome Parfum is, for me, quite unexciting, somewhat trivial, and very weak on the skin. Whether it's my skin that is doing the scent a disservice here - I don't know. What a shame!
