What Does Azzaro Chrome Extreme EDP Smell Like?
Bright and awakening sea notes lead the opening with salty aquatic undertones. It has a very realistic, airy ocean vibe, similar to being at a beach and taking a deep breath.
Within a few minutes is the addition of a zesty orange note that adds a citric and fruity sweetness. Combined with the aquatics is a refreshing blend of citrus and aquatics.
The further the scent develops, the more interesting it gets. Juicy Juniper adds in the mid and completely changes the scent profile. It has a fresh, “juicy” aroma that pairs well with the orange note.
However, its most prominent accent is a pine-type accord.
This is where a heavy dose of aromatics comes from. It is never dirty or earthy, just fresh and slightly woody. Juniper weakens the strength of the aquatics in the base.
As the dry-down develops, the void is filled by the warmth and depth of an amber accord.

Performance
The performance is slightly above average. It lasts seven hours on the skin with average projection. It pushes out a couple of feet the first few hours before receding.
The wearability is limited as well. Chrome Extreme is exclusively for spring and summer wear. Despite its woody and amber base, it doesn’t have the depth for cooler temperatures.
And occasions, all. An easy to wear fragrance that is more than citruses and aquatics but also nothing too overwhelming.
This brings me to its last few performance points. The best aspect of the scent is that it’s easy to wear. This is a perfect choice if you’re in a rush and need to spray and go.
The mass appeal and likability are just as good. There’s nothing about Chrome Extreme EDP that makes it off-putting. You won’t be an attention magnet, but you’ll definitely have an attractive scent.
Azzaro Chrome Extreme EDP Clones
Azzaro Chrome Extreme EDP has no clones but is closely related to Acqua di Gio Profondo. Both have aromatics, aquatics, and citruses. However, to my nose, Profondo is slightly more fresh and marine.
Final Words
Azzaro Chrome Extreme is worth it. It is one of my favorite affordable summer fragrances. When I think of summer, I think of refreshing and oceanic. That’s exactly what you’ll get here.
If you’ve been following Besuited Aroma’s YouTube or website for a while, you’ll probably know I don’t enjoy the original Azzaro Chrome. Chrome Extreme is on a completely different level; the smell and quality are better.
This normally retails north of $100. However, on discounters, you can get it for $40 – $50. Which is a much better price point for the performance and smell you get.
After you try Azzaro Chrome Extreme EDP, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
