Azzaro Chrome Acqua Review + Contemporary Aquatic Draw

A big thumbs up from Sebastian

Some designer fragrances are standards, but can fall out of favor. Our friends and fathers wore them and perhaps we did as well. In 1996 Azzaro Chrome was a favorite of many men, until they fell out of love with aquatics, thinking they weren’t contemporary anymore. Azzaro has been the base of many flankers over the years, but Azzaro Chrome Acqua is the fragrance to own if you want to rediscover modern aquatics. Azzaro Chrome Acqua is a great place to renew your excitement for a category that can be a miss… smelling like Calone rather than cologne. Crispy , crunchy fruit notes add a crunchy spin and aromatic basil gives the newest Chrome a nice balance between land and sea. Perfumer is Jean Christophe Herault (who is the nose for many of the Les Exceptions for MUGLER) –  Michelyn Camen, Editor in Chief

    Sebastian review was short but sweet. He mentioned how citrusy this fragrance is which is the reason I’m interested in the giveaway. I enjoy citrus fragrances. Hope I win this it sound like is a really nice spring, summer fragrance. 

  • Christie says:

    I always enjoy Sebastian's reviews. I like the way he uses descriptive words to help you imagine the scent.  I'm not familiar with this Azzaro fragrance but I do like Azzaro Wanted By NIght.   

  • Chuck Goodpaster says:

    You had me at citrus and vetiver!!!  Love trying new scents and Sebastian always brings them.  I have Azzarro Pure and really like it.  

  • Just Add Light says:

    Cool new plugin!  Had no idea that Azzaro was releasing this one since there's very little info available, but I'm glad Sebastian had the opportunity to review it.  Just from the notes, it looked like an iteration of Paco Rabanne's famous Invictus Aqua, but when Sebastian described the opening as "crunchy" that went right out the window.  Plus with that veitver in the base, I'm so glad he enjoyed the balance between intense freshness and earthy groundedness.  Pleasantly surprised with the positive feedback considering it's a flanker of one of the most inexpensive and popular designer fragrances in history, but kudos to Azzaro for a quality release!  Favourite from the brand is still the original Pour Homme but I'm excited to give this one a try!  Love the lighting in the video too!  NC

    I noticed this new release the other day on the Macy's website  and was hoping to hear a review.   I am glad Sebastian reviewed this as I appreciate the insight he provides into fragrances.   Thank you.

  • Courtney Palmer says:

    Great review short and to to the point. Really makes me interested in trying this frangrance

  • David Sanchez says:

    I really-really enjoy your videos and by the way you describe the scent, I would love to have it in my collection!! 🙂 (thank you for the consideration)

  • Bill says:

    Sebastian always gives a great review . He tells me everything I need to know when considering a purchase, without spending all day doing it.  I'm loving the citrus fragrances coming into spring . This really is a dream prize for me.

  • Ilffpm says:

    I've always liked Sebastian reviews, they are knowledgeable without being over bearing. Found some great colognes as a result. Looking forward to having the chance to try chrome aqua! 🙂

  • NiceVULady says:

    Always like the detail in Sebastian's reviews.  Haven't used any of the Azzaro products myself.  I love the citrus element, so this may be something that I'll try.  Thanks for the review and the draw.  I'm in the USA

  • cdb73110 says:

    Always pleasant watching your videos. My interest has been piqued by this new fragrance. I like the citrus, fruity combo with the not over whelming marine note. Sound like this may be a winner of a fragrance. I have enjoyed Chrome United and it really garners great compliments. In the USA. Thanks for an informative review and draw. 

  • gtabasso says:

    I like the fact that a Mugler parfumuer worked on this. I have only tried Wanted from this house, which I like but don't love.I'm in USA. I need more freshies and aquatics to try. I love vetiver.

  • thethe says:

    I never fell out of love with aquatics, only expanded my taste and branched out a bit.

    Having said this the review is very inspiring and am excited to experience this (since it’s received with such high praise.) 

     

  • Robin says:

    Sounds like a fragrance my brother would love. I would like to submit for the tester bottle. Clearwater Florida USA. Love Sebastian’s reviews. Thank you for your honest opinion always! 

  • cobra10a says:

    Sebastian never disappoints, his knack for detail is unmatched.   Always loved the original, went through multiple bottles over the years.  Very refreshing and does attract compliments.    This one sounds like a sharper version.  Must try. 

  • Robin Brennan says:

    Sounds like a fragrance my brother would love. I would like to submit for the tester bottle of the new chrome scent. I have no experience with this fragrance. Very excited since Sebastian loves it. I am in Clearwater Florida USA. Thank you to Sabastion for his honest opinion always.

  • Michael says:

    Sebastian, great review of Azzaro Chrome Aqua.  I own the Original Azzaro Chrome, but I don't own any of the other flankers.  This fragrance sounds like a good balance between the fresh notes, aquatic notes, and the green of the vetiver.  I would be interested in trying this fragrance out.  Thank you always for the great content.

  • Bubeto_GG says:

    Strong grapefruit punch , green apple , spicy  – nice start + herbal and aromatic and a bit woody with vetiver in the base = nice summer every day fragrance.

    Personally i do not own Azzaro fragrances , but my father owns and loves original Crome and Chrome Legend , and my husband owns Amber Fever , and i love it on him.Amber Fever to me it's the best Azzaro i know.

    Thank you for the opportunity .

    I trust Sebastian's reviews and there isn't anything specific that I like more than the other, he just covers on every aspect of the scent. I like the way he breakdowns the notes and how they are blended together, which gives me info on what to expect from the cologne. And, I haven't been disappointed with any of my purchases based on his reviews. I own Chrome Legend, wanted, wanted by night. I would definitely love to try this one with spring fast approaching

  • dealripper says:

    I like Sebastian's reviews for various many reasons like the scent description, notes breakdown, just like his style of reviewing. I have made a few blind buys based on his reviews and haven't  been disappointed with any of  them. My favorite from Azzaro are Wanted and Wanted by night. I also have a vintage bottle of Chrome Legend that I like a lot too.

  • Lesley says:

    Nice review of Chrome Acqua by Sebastian. I am one of those who isn’t a fan of aquatics but would like to try this 

  • Hasib says:

    Enjoyed the review by Sebastian. Saw that he enjoys this fragrance and I would like to get a chance to check it out. Sounds like a good warm/hot day fragrance. Don’t own any Azzaro. Thanks for the giveaway, U.S

  • middleagedandmixed says:

    Sebastian describes this fragrance as crunchy, herbal and zingy. I'm in! I've only smelled Wanted by Night by Azzaro but would love to try more. Thanks from the U.S.

  • Gig84 says:

    If Mr. Jara is genuinely impressed by Chrome Acqua the fragrance must be a good one. One of those happy , and uplifting summer fragrances you tend to overspray. 2 Azzaro fragrances I really like – Pour Homme Intense , and Wanted by Night. Thx to all involved in this giveaway. USA 

  • Onyinye says:

    I’m not familiar with Azzaro Chrome Acqua  but thanks to Sebastian’s review I’ve come to know about them. His reviews are always full of interesting information and I love how he breaks down the notes and further explains them and how they smell. 

  • Scented_him says:

    I personally enjoyed this video because I love azzaro fragrances I have never tried this one before but it sounds amazing Iike  Sebastian said it’s like the sea I’m actually on cruise in the islands as I’m writing this and from what I’ve heard it puts me in that place citrus,marine ,notes woods , vetiver  I currently own the original crome which I still love for warmer weather also azzaro wanted I love and wanted by night would really love to have this in my collection for the spring summer thanks again Sebastian for the great video

  • cwoody says:

    I always appreciete Sebastian's honest opinions and flawless reviews! He's a favorite of mine. I've never tried Azzaro Chrome Aqua but I enjoy Azarro Wanted and Azarro Chrome Pure from time to time. However, Aqua sounds like a summer gem! Thanks for the opportunity!

  • drewactor says:

    I have never tried Azzaro but I have been looking for a good aquatic scent.  Like Sebastian I find these very hit or miss but this one, from the review, sounds like a nice balance between fresh and aquaitc which makes me want to give it a try. Thanks!

  • Matthew says:

    I've never owned any Azzaro Chrome colognes but this one looks pretty good. I mostly live in a hot climate so I think this one would really work with that. I love the bottle also. It reminds me of Miami Vice for some reason! Thanks Sebastian!

  • Caliwas says:

    I love Sebastian review as he explains this fresh aquatic fragrance with amazing details. He always is able to explain the note composition so that I can almost smell it if I close my eyes and imagine the scent. Love it! I live in CA, USA.

  • doveskylark says:

    I have always stayed away from aquatics, but the zinginess and crispness from the grapefruit sound refreshng and a big change from most aquatics. I find anything with grapefruit to be uplifting, and being uplifted is something I need right now. I live in  the USA.

     

  • WaltherP99 says:

    It's rare for Sebastian to really like a designer , especially if there's marine notes . Should be a nice casual summer fragrance , or even office scent. Wanted by Night is the one Azzaro i like the most . Sure i follow @cafleurebon and @lookfeelsmellgreat on Instagram.I also follow @azzaro

  • TerryH says:

    This sounds great. Like Sebastian, I too am growing to enjoy aquatics more, and this one sounds like it has a nice thickness and more depth than the norm. Please enter me for the giveaway!

  • Dhruba Dasgupta says:

    Sebastian really make the crispness of the fruits make this intruiguing. I don't enjoy the original due to the metallic nature, but enjoyed the pure version. Cannot wait to smell this one

  • Elmer Smith says:

    Great Review and spot on description of this Soring/Summer Fragrance! I recently received a sample with a purchase and put it on prior to watching the revue it’s still drying down but the projection is vivid but not offensive I love it and it’s in the starting Line Up!
