Chrome Intense
Azzaro (2015)

Super clean, synthetic opening. Almost like cleaning products. It's not unpleasant though, just aggressive. Plenty of clean musk and florals as it dries down. That's the main thing about the intense version is that some of the sharpness from the original is softened up with white florals. This definitely has the original Chrome DNA. You can smell the original Chrome throughout the development. But this is better, to me.

I would say if you find Chrome a bit harsh, try the Intense flanker. It rounds out nicely after the opening. Because it's so clean, I would say this is a versatile daytime scent.

I get really good projection during the first couple of hours. It settles down after that and just hangs around for most of the day.

Love Chrome Intense! I've always been a fan of the original Chrome, and this one really intensifies the experience. Clean, powerful, fairly stable scent that I would like to add to my arsenal. ;^>

Fir the lovers of original Chrome. This is what an intense version should be: a bolder deeper and more magnanimous version of the original.

CI is all that. The only downside me thinks is that it makes the original Chrome obsolete. After smelling this version I cannot go back to the original.

I now realize the sharp metallic notes in the original Chrome are extremely toned down 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.
