“Clean, fresh, and honest — a three-dollar-bill handshake of a fragrance.”

Azzaro Chrome EDT
citrus
aromatic
woody

Released in 1996, Azzaro Chrome is a widely worn fresh citrus-aromatic of the late 1990s. Gerard Haury opens it on lemon, rosemary and neroli over a floral heart and an oakmoss base. Citrus and aromatic accords lead, with woody and fresh-spicy facets. Azzaro added Chrome Intense in 2015. A summer daytime scent, with spring close behind.
