Latest Reviews of Chrome Legend

First blue scent I've tried (and I'm new to this) that actually smells aquatic. It's fizzy, salty, breezy and blue. Some apple, some mint, cucumber, tonic, and then a soft honeycomb dry down.
Easy gym scent. Beach, lake, boat, dock, whatever. In spring and summer it's can't miss.
Edit: upon trying and testing a number of other aquatics, I stand by this review. Chrome Legends initial blast is very oceanic, and a good wake up call. It is a little harsh out of the bottle, but it gets better and better as it calms down. The dry down is smooth and pleasant.
I know enough now not to elevate this above Voyage or Cool Water or probably any number of blue juices, but this is still worth having. Especially when you want something less sweet and a little more astringent.

In the drydown a salty undertone emerges, with an aquatic tone attached to it. There is a metallic feel also, also this is counterbalanced later on by a restrained sweetness that is owed to white musks that are added it. The salty and citrus components gradually peter out with time.
The sweet side is further enhanced in the base, when a tonka impression is added, combined with a nonspecific woodsiness.
I get moderate sillage, good projection and six hours of longevity on my skin.
A pleasant scent for cooler summer days, with an interesting conceptualisation of the idea that its name conjures up. The similarities between this creation and Nautica Voyage are obvious. This Azzaro is not bad, but a bit too generic at stages. 2.75/5.

For what its worth, Nautica Voyage is a much superior alternative based on current versions. Seriously, even Aqua Velva Ice Blue smells much nicer for a fraction of the cost. Yes, it's in the same general category as Acqua di Gio, but the difference in quality is about the same as the difference in price.
1.5/5

Fragrance: 5/10
Projection: 7/10
Longevity: 7/10

Performance is really good. Projection is above average for the first 5-6 hours and then the final skin scent phase lasts almost all day.
