What does Classic Chromite smell like?

It opens with olibanum wood, mandarin orange and green apple, a fresh and fruity start. In the heart, cedarwood and patchouli lay down a woody base. Tonka bean absolute, praliné and ambroxan sweeten and soften the base, while spicy and synthetic tones also show among the accords.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate. They pick fall and spring most often, and it sits more comfortably in leisure, business and daily wear than in the evening or on a night out. Half of the voters call it masculine, and a good share find it modern. Its profile is close to Polo Black and Dior Sauvage Parfum.
