Chrome Eau de Parfum, Azzaro reinterprets one of its iconic fragrances. When the Chrome fragrance first appeared, in 1996, it brought a wave of freedom and freshness to masculine perfumery. Its success was immediate, but no one yet knew that it would become one of the greatest fragrances for men on the planet.
Loris Azzaro was very close to his grandson. Thus, he did not hesitate to draw on this strong bond and this transmission to create a fragrance named Chrome in 1996. A symbol of unity, authenticity and family bonds, it was then a comforting and very fresh fragrance. In 2022, Chrome Eau de Parfum by Azzaro evolves. Perfumers Nathalie Lorson and Frank Voelkl give it a new, more intense and woody breath. Let us decode together the formula of this masculine fragrance.
Chrome Eau de Parfum by Azzaro, when dawn is deeply refreshing
The top notes of Chrome Eau de Parfum by Azzaro resemble the freshness of the morning air. Thus, like its predecessor, Chrome Eau de Parfum opens with a very vivid sensation. This comes more precisely from green mandarin grown in Italy. Incidentally, it is also a nod to Loris Azzaro's Italian origins. To this is added the very fresh, almost metallic breath of aldehydes. Likewise, to evoke the power of water, aquatic notes have been added to the whole.
Chrome Eau de Parfum by Azzaro, the Provençal warmth of the sun at its zenith
Then, little by little, Chrome Eau de Parfum by Azzaro warms up at its heart. It is overtaken by a much sunnier air. This comes more precisely from Provence, a region in the south of France where lavender grows. For more elegance, this plant is paired with geranium, with its floral, slightly more peppery aura. Eucalyptus, meanwhile, preserves the original freshness of this essence. The result is a fougère accord as refined as it is masculine.
Chrome Eau de Parfum by Azzaro, a fragrance in the image of the woody dusk
Finally, it is in its base that Chrome Eau de Parfum by Azzaro distinguishes itself most clearly from its predecessor. This fragrance becomes far more intense than before. Comforting and Mediterranean, it takes us with it into a pine forest, like the vast stretches of vegetation that so often border the Mediterranean. Here, pine essence gives this fragrance a more resinous quality. This is paired with the drier, more persistent scent of cedar and patchouli. Finally, one last, more reassuring and refined breath of white musks completes this formula.
Azzaro opts for a composition more respectful of the planet
Because consumers increasingly expect brands to protect resources and the environment, Azzaro also places real importance on this aspect. The house is thus working toward a more sustainable luxury, respectful of the planet. Investing in responsible development, the house has carefully selected the raw materials making up Chrome Eau de Parfum by Azzaro. Its green mandarins are harvested in Italy. Its lavender comes from France. Both are sustainably sourced.
