As long as you store your perfumes properly having more than one is fine. I got 70+ bottles LOL.

I like Burberry Brit and London but both the longevity kind of bad.

From your collection, I see that u tend to like fresh fruity scents. I recommend Davidoff Silver Shadow Altitude, Solo Loewe, Gucci Pour Homme II, Paul Smith Story and YSL Live Jazz. My suggestions are also fresh smelling but are a little more unique compared to the usual stuff in the market.

Just got and applied Azzaro Chrome. First few things that came to mind were 'Adidas' and 'generic'. We'll see how it progresses.

Chrome's not that bad. It was released in 1996 and wouldn't have survived more than 13 years if it wasn't good. It's more of the opposite for me...when I smell Adidas I think "another Chrome clone". However I do find that Chrome "inspired" a lot of other scents but Chrome's still one of the best in the genre for me.

Go try YSL L'Homme, Gucci Pour Homme II, Versace Pour Homme, Bulgari Aqua and Burberry Brit.

For something a bit more daring try Versace The Dreamer, Dior Homme, YSL Jazz, Dunhill Edition, Aramis and YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme.

nod.gif It began to grow on me. Now i love it, especially its longevity. I don't smell its metallic tone though, it just smells really pleasant, almost baby-like after a long time. Only gripe i had was when i asked my sister bout it, and she said i smell like one of her guy friends. laugh.gif laugh.gif

Anything with similar longevity, jonny?

i'm not jonny but i can answer your question.

Azzaro Pour Homme also has similar longevity if not more, and so does Narisco Rodiguez Pour Homme. Also, do also try Kenzo Power.

Not many fresh type frags can match Chrome. The one I can think of are Versace Pour Homme, Bulgari Aqua, Chanel Allure Homme Sport and Chanel Platinum Egoiste. None of them are very similar to Chrome...hard to find something like chrome with similar longevity. Lots of guys use it and a lot of perfumes copy Chrome so not surprised your sis gave that comment. A lot of my friends can recognize chrome instantly. Chrome for me is a workhorse frag...nothing unique bout it but it lasts a full day on me...and not very expensive too. I kind of regret giving my bottle of Chrome away to my bro cry.gif

Regarding joey's suggestions, I can only agree with Kenzo Power...the rest have just average longevity and are not at all similar to Chrome. Actually even Kenzo Power is very different from Chrome. I do own all 3 frags suggested by Joey LOL.

Are you looking for a frag similar to Chrome with good longevity or just any frag with Chrome's longevity ?

Similar (or better) longevity, but preferably different smell. No point having two bottles doing the same thing for me laugh.gif

Similar longevity in same fresh genre: Versace PH (v.good sillage), Chanel Allure Homme Sport, Bulgari Aqua and Chanel Platinum Egoiste (longest lasting).

Other long lasting frags (diff genres): As mentioned by Joey (except Gucci PH) and I'll add YSL Opium PH, Hermes Terre d'Hermes, Paul Smith London, Dior Fahrenheit, Gucci Envy, Thierry Mugler A*Men and Bogart Pour Homme (one of the most longest frags lasting I've ever sprayed on!).

Longevity and sillage is very subjective and even varies from person to person. But the ones I suggested won't disappoint you. Another thing is it's quite rare for a fresh aquatic (blue) frag to last as long as Chrome. Usually the long lasting ones are overly woody masculine, sweet and spicy or a mix of all 3 or more. Those kind of smells tend not to be up the alley of the average Malaysian and don't fare too well in hot weather.

Despite my indifferent initial opinion of Chrome, now i find it awesome. Its exactly what i'm looking for, sans the generic smell. Your words described it perfectly; its a workhorse fragrance. I'm up for something spicy/woody, as long as it doesn't smell like Arabian Oud. No offense intended to anyone, but that just ain't up my alley.

Is yours the one for men? Just to be clear. Btw, how's the longevity? I'm obsessed over that now, sorry. laugh.gif

If arabian oud aint up your alley then there is a very high chance you will dislike YSL M7. Although not oud dominant, there are prominent hints of oud in M7 (yes Joey I know...but no matter what I still get the oud LOL). But that is what makes M7 do damm unique though.

There are numerous woody/spicy frags...the ones that are easier to pull of on a daily basis are Gucci Pour Homme, Gucci Envy, Cartier Declaration and YSL Opium PH EDT.

Eau de Toilette contains between 5%-15% aromatic oils. Most male fragrances come in EDT concentration.

Eau de Parfum contains between 10%-20% aromatic oils. Some female fragrances come in both EDT and EDP.
