Description
Azzaro launches a new version of the men’s fragrance Azzaro Chrome Intense just before the summer of 2015. AZZARO CHROME INTENSE arrives after Azzaro Chrome United edition introduced in 2013. Azzaro Chrome Limited Edition 2015 which arrives as a limited summer edition for 2015 (and looking at the notes, seems the closest to the original ingredients) takes the same flacon form as the original edition of Chrome from 1996. The new fragrance, besides a more intense composition, is also characterized by a darker color of liquid.
AZZARO CHROME INTENSE opens with a citrusy union of bergamot and grapefruit, creating sparkling chords embellished with tart ginger and hedione molecule. The heart develops notes of ozone, jasmine water and lichen, while the base is created of precious wood, mate, amber and musk.
Fragrance Azzaro Chrome Intense arrives as a 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

here is little to say about the magnificent Chrome. Fragrance low cost among the most popular. Beautiful and superior quality in this intense version. Fragrance that keeps the DNA of the original almost unchanged. Freshness at the top! After all, Chrome has made the story of Azzaro!

This fragrance I did not like at all. It’s smells very cheap. But i would not say that it smells terrible as I did with le beau male. Chrome intense right off the bat that harsh note some refer to it as .. is actually ginger is very pronounced in the top notes. I find this very very soapy with bright notes in it that I also think don’t mix well And actually reminds me of kind of very generic bar of hotel soap … and not like a luxury bar of soap that some pradas invoke. I am not a fan of this fragrance. To me it’s just not a enjoyable smell that I would go out of my way to smell like. Azzaro Chrome pure on the other hand I absolutely love. It’s also slightly soapy… but it’s also a peppery watery aquatic. I highly recommend trying Chrome pure.

What an awesome fragrance! I’m so glad I got my hands on this.

Chrome Intense is a pleasant warm weather daytime scent, very light and creamy with very harsh opening. After some time it becomes almost the same with one of my old Dzintars scents. I must smell them again to find which exactly. So this is not a new smell for me. I’ll update with more info.

This scent is wondeful. For those who have smelt Creed’s Tabarome, the opening of this fragrance smells similar to that Creed. Perhaps it might be from the ginger and bergamot which give it that similar vibe. This one performs very well on the skin. I sprayed this yesterday evening, and I was able to detect on my skin still when I woke up this morning. I’d say more than moderate/moderate performance with this one. I lived off a sample of this scent for about a year, and while I like it, my personal opinion is that I would not consider buying this. It’s a scent you could live without owning, but for those looking for a fresh scent, or perhaps only wear a fresh-type of scent, then you would like this. Quite linear once the top notes settle. Otherwise, a great release!

This is transparent and creamy and gives you a light and tingly vibe. I love chrome and I think this flanker is fantastic. Still has the chrome DNA with a really nice updated vibe. Yeah its synthetic as all hell, but it is done great. I would wear this all the way through fall honestly, although its definitely a warm weather fragrance. I think it would just work better in cooler weather and then the OG chrome is fresher and lighter for extreme heat. I love it

A classy clean long lasting summer scent.9/10

I could of sworn juniper berry was listed as a note for this fragrance. It has a cloying pine blast. Most chrome siblings are much better than this with chrome United being one of my favorites.
vluylka – :
While it’s intense it’s good. The problem is that the intensity is only there for the first 20-30 minutes, when all participants – the citrus, the spices, the sense of cleaning products (shampoo, window cleaner, toilet fresheners etc) – are pumping with life and vigor.
Then it becomes a metallic woody scent, not unpleasant, but boring.

Azzaro chrome intense reminds me of a a cheap woody air freshener, similar to the smell during/after sharpening a pencil. Perfect as a room scent but not on a person. The original is 100x better, definitely try before you buy
slamjack – :
I now realize the sharp metallic notes in the original Chrome are extremely turned up here, it takes everything from the original and gives it a lot of subtle power and projection. Much more so. First spray is a blast of fruit, I get the grapefruit and ginger immediately. Love the ozone in there. This gives it amazing projection and smells so clean, not too soapy. 15-20 minutes later it mellows a bit into a clean woodsy smell, with just the slightest tinge of metallic notes. It lasts all day long and sillage is awesome. 6 months in, I can say that I prefer this over original Chrome. In fact I burned through a 100ml bottle already. Thank goodness I found some 100ml testers on the cheap. Top five fragrance for me right now.

Don’t think it a bad fragrance it’s a average scent and gets compliments
Andy80 – :
I tried this just yesterday. I have a 1.5mL sample and it is definitely different. Now, I haven’t smelt the original but I do like this scent. While wearing it on my neck, I got an icy feel from it. Maybe that is the iced mint which I find pleasant. Longevity seemed to last all day. Not something I’d buy a full bottle of, but I always appreciate samples to wear and try out.

i really wanted azzaro chrome and i ended up buying this as it was readily available in my zone. i thought it would be very strong and long lasting, its exactly opposite, opening is beautiful soapy fresh, floral and clean laundry, but within ten minutes the top is gone and its very close to the skin.others can smell it on you but you cant, for the price point, id say its not bad, i have much better acquatics, but i love this bright darkish blue juice, the bottle and metallic stem.the cap is the cheapest of all my bottles. i dont hate it, i like it but dont LOVE it. its a day to day summer freshie, good for gym and sports or outdoor activities, if you can reapply, you can make yourself smell great whole day. definitely a day time scent. if you are traveling to a humid country or there is spring also , this should be alright.no guilt over spraying 🙂

Before putting all biases aside I have to tell you I think of Azzaro Chrome as a “Target Cologne” or “Walmart Cologne”….
Now, not that I think it’s a bad scent, it’s just something I associate with those stores.
Having that said, I will put my biases aside and say at first spray, this caught my attention. I didn’t expect much seeing as the original Chrome was good, but gave me a weird metallic vibe.
The first thing I noticed was how strong this juice is. Easily twice as strong as the original. This would be VERY easy to over-spray.
The scent: Very similar to the original Chrome, but this is better overall. As I said before, the original gave me a weird metallic vibe…This one does not. Honestly, the best way I can put it is, just imagine the original Chrome doubled in strength and having the metallic note removed.
Is it similar to the original? Yes.
Is it different than the original? Yes.
Is it synthetic? Yes.
Does it smell good? Yes.
Overall: 7/10
Longevity: 10/10
Sillage: 9/10
***I will eventually buy this. I will not pay full price ($87). I know for a fact this will be online in no time for under $50. Its just the way it goes.

I was shocked by how good this smelled. It really smells nothing like the original, so i don’t get all the comments about the two smelling similar. It smells like what Lacoste essential was meant to smell like. Almost identical but way stronger, and a little bit spicier. worth a blind buy IMO.
barkas – :
I am using it, but nobody got surprised, I will use as a normal fragance, but What can I do? I am feel great with Chrome original, I will try Chrome United maybe I will get better results with it.
handsome – :
This thing smells as cheap as anything in the world. Don’t ever blind buy it, try it at store and ONLY BUY IT if you really likes it to maximum
fbd260Negeltzex – :
I’ve tested this just yesterday and thought is was not to bad. It feels les synthetic then the original. Very minty en bergamot, thought I smelled some faint violet in the back.
What I find strange is the list of notes??? I had a sample of this given to mee just some weeks ago! The sample card clearly states: SICILIAN BERGAMOT, CARDAMON, ICED MINT, HAITIAN VETIVER!
I do smell these things, not the notes listed above! Has this bin reformulated or is this a different fragrance? I’m confused
People dissing on it because it smell’s synthetic I think is a bit funny, for a frangrence that is made whit aldehydes en other stuff. Ofcourse it is synthetic 😀 And it doesn’t pretend to be otherwise 😀
busus – :
Awful, synthetic piece of crap. is very much like Lacoste Essential; that same soapy, grassy, plastic aroma that i hate.
Not much more to say about this.
50/100
RIYL: Lacoste Essential.
slav82_10 – :
Synthetic bomb as most of the Azzaros.
You wont find it annoying if you’re OK with generic shampoo, hair spray or detergents, oh and car freshers! Chrome intense is similar but only cost more!
Good for you Azzaro, my top 1 house which I’ll never trust and revisit! Undefeatable!

I always thought Azzaro Chrome smelled very nice and pleasant despite it being quite synthetic.. This Chrome Intense is exactly what the name says it is! This fragrance is Chrome amped up to the maximum! I sprayed some on a tester strip and this is just my first impression.. Chrome Intense opens up super fresh and ozonic with a noticeable citrus and ginger.. Right away this fragrance is noticeable as “Chrome”.. Once the citrus fades a bit the strong floral notes come to the forefront.. Chrome Intense stays very fresh all the way from the opening to the fresh clean musk in the drydown.. The signature metallic vibe from the original is still there.. This fragrance smells a whole lot like Chrome just much more potent and a bit deeper.. If you like Chrome but wish it had stronger performance than this is for you! Yes this scent is synthetic but I think it is a well done intense flanker of the original Chrome.. I am sure it will be a love or hate fragrance just as the original Chrome is but I suggest you give it a try..
Agegoglallosy – :
The scent is awful. The topnotes particularly. It seems like a window cleaner. The original is much better!!
spartakinna – :
The same …stronger
Urballyantene – :
This is available at Macy’s in the U.S. presently.
matyshevskiy – :
I thought I read this was being released in early Summer (June). What is the latest on when this will be available in the U.S.?
vlad311 – :
Azzaro products are really commendable
look at the bottle.. it looks like a crome bolt is drilled inside the juice of bottle n the colour of the juice has intensified .
waiting to rock this.
celpancelialk – :
I love the limited editions, because i don’t like the original, is too strong for me, i can imagine this, just one spray on my skin, and i will get a headache. But i will try it.
fgc899speagoessenda – :
GREAT……..someone has already hit it HEAVY for sillage…..n whoever did this i bet havent even smelled it yet.such people r ruining it for fragrantica n for fragranticans….THUMBS UP if u feel these people should be hanged….
relroyforex – :
Hmmm.. The bottle reminds me a bit of last year’s Chrome United, but this sounds interesting.. I have worn Chrome in the past and enjoyed it.. Hopefully the Intense will be a nice addition to the line..
