WoodyWhat does Chrome Summer 2012 smell like?
Its longevity and sillage both sit at a moderate level, though the small number of ratings means this is only a rough guide. It reads as a masculine scent.
Grapefruit brings the freshness up front, and cardamom adds a spicy touch in the heart. In the base, amber and Brazilian rosewood lay down a woody footing, with a synthetic sheen running through the whole. Police To Be (Eau de Toilette) and Nautica Midnight Voyage have a close profile.
