What do reviewers say about Chrome and The Essence Intense?
Chrome doesn't want to be the loudest person in the room. That's not a flaw, it's the whole point. Built for the office, the commute, the afternoon meeting that runs long.Chrome
The opening reads fruity, almost sweet, that's the blueberry. Then the vetiver and black pepper arrive and the whole thing goes cool, dry, masculine. It's the kind of fragrance that shifts tone.The Essence Intense
