Fragrance Review Chrome by Azzaro

*Owners Choice for August*

Notes:Bergamot, Bigarade, Neroli, Ginger, Ivy, Lichen, Cardamom, Mate, Rosewood, Sandalwood.

Style:A masculine scent; tender and contemporary.

Personally, I love this fragrance. I love everything about this scent. It's very clean, very crisp, slightly "citrusy", but overall a scent that you put on after you get out of the shower and you get all the right looks from the people you're trying to get looks from(if you know what I mean, wink wink!) It complements most deodorants and body sprays. It is what I like to call an "amplifier". That means that whatever fragrances you have on it complements them very well.

Time of Use: All Day
Perfect purpose: All(Gift, personal, romantic)

How to Search on Cityoffragrance.com

In a nutshell, at the top of any page there is a space for any searching. Let's say your searching for Eternity for Men from Calvin Klein. What you do is type in "Eternity" in the search bar or "Calvin Klein". Do not type "Eternity for Men, Calvin Klein". The more simple you can be the greater chance you have of finding what your looking for. Remember the search engine also searches the descriptions of the item and populates the results on those as well.

For example, if your searching for the celebrity Beyonce's fragrance, just type in "Beyonce". The fragrance that will show up are several different types of the Fragrance "True Life", because that is the real name of the fragrance.

Again, type in the name of the perfume only or the brand name and you'll more than likely find what you're looking for.

Happy Hunting,

David Pate

Fragrance Review: Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana


Notes:Sicilian Mandarin, Frozen Grapefruit Peel, Bergamot, Juniper, Rosemary, Szechuan Pepper, Rosewood, Musk Wood, Incense, Oak Moss.
Style:Mysterious. Confident. Sensual.
This is a very light fragrance. Another "work" fragrance. This is a scent that you don't have to worry about being over-powering. It very clean with a "citusy"(I hope that's a word) crispness to it. The grapefruit peel and mandarin really come through. It does have a slight hint of baby powder, but overall a very nice fragrance.
Time of Use: All Day
Perfect purpose: All(Gift, personal, romantic)

Fragrance Review for "Alien by Thierry Mugler"

Notes: Solar Accord, Jasmine Sambac, Green Notes, Cashmeran, Vanilla, Transparent Amber.

If you are looking for something that is mysterious, soothing, and magnetic(*), this is your fragrance. When I tried this fragrance I got a very nice "flowery" feel from it. It smells like it is a more daytime fragrance, but It has a very clean feel to it. It comes off as something that has an all purpose use to it. If you are into florals this is a scent you would enjoy. It does have a little strength to it, so too much of it could be overpowering. When applying this fragrance remember, a little goes a long way.

All in all, I would give this fragrance an overall purpose of:Gift.
Time of day for use: All day(Perfect for work)
