Calvin Klein CK One 109Azzaro Chrome 60
What wearers say
“#20 in my "Tour de Fragrance"This scent is so weak out of the bottle it's barely noticeable, and even at 12 sprays the scent doesn't last an hour and the sillage is about a centimeter. It went straight in the garbage. I bought everything Cuba Paris makes just to see if any scent at those price points is worth having. Cuba Blue is definitely not worth even the small amount of money it costs.”
“This is CK One and/or Azzaro Chrome with the "Cuban-ade" accord of vanilla-musk floating distantly in the background. Surprisingly long-lasting.If the sound of this appeals to you, it is more than worth a blind buy. Nicely done for the price of admission.”
“Adding to the Azzaro Chrome comparisons. They really are very similar. I would get this over Chrome for the price, considering they’re both nothing special, just a nice fresh summer day cologne.”
