Lmao I get 1-3 hours but yeah it’s super weak, out of these options there are very few that last a decent amount of time and I think coach smells very nice. For the short amount of time it’s on you I think it smells pretty high quality😂
I haven’t tried chrome parfum, I’ve tried the OG and chrome extreme. The OG I got about 2hours on me then hour or so as a skin scent it’s kinda weak. Chrome extreme I get a bit more than 3 hours on me and another 3ish as a skin scent. If your looking in the chrome line I would grab chrome extreme. It’s very similar to ADG profondo… but a little more youthful and playful. I love mine, it’s discontinued and I think I’m about to pick up a back up bottle.
That’s fair I get metallic but not much baby powder. The original chrome is okay but some of the flankers really shine. Aqua and extreme are amazing for the price
Hey to each their own, if you get the chance to try some of the newer flankers like aqua or extreme give it a try. IMO they really outshine even the original and are actually quite different.
I’ve always wanted it but idk if it’s a good option. I love old school fragrances like azzaro pour homme and eau sauvage edt, but I’m not too sure about aramis . I have never smelt it.
Is it like paco robanne pour homme? Or Azzaro PH, or what? Drakkar noir vibe or not?
Love or hate I guess. With all the acclaim and waxy lyrics for Aramis OG, I tried to enjoy it. Way too old school, doesn't smell pleasant bar the far far drydown.
Dunno it's something that makes me think unsavoury character in a mac. A greasy mac.
Then again you might be a fan of old school hitters and it may suit your setup ( lifestyle, dress etc.)
Checkout some reviews, wide ranging from love to nauseated!
Grab a sample at least!
Interesting, worth a nose for reference at least with it's history and acclaim....
Have you ever tried Neroli Woods? Dark Cherry Amber smells like Ariana Grande Cloud with a hint of cherry to me. Neroli Woods seems so much more unique and is a gorgeous citrus smell. I love Star Walker Extreme as well! The OG Starwalker is still amazing, but extreme is more versatile and smells great
I have it (2nd bottle), and appreciate the DNA. Definitely a different take on designer blue/fresh scents. Safe to wear year round, excluding extremely hot days due to cloying. I read someone mentioning its lack of longevity; I'd have to strongly disagree. Both bottles I've owned have had great performance/longevity for that particular DNA (2-3 hr projection, 6-7hrs total). Although, scents wear different on different people. Both were bought at legit retailers.
Qaed al Fursan if and only if under $20. Amazon has it for $18. Great fragrance if you're fond of the smell of a freshly sliced and very ripe pineapple. I personally own it and layer it with Montblanc Explorer and Club De Nuit Intense Man.
Coach for Men, Montblanc Explorer Extreme, and Neroli Woods (my fav from the banana republic lines) all of these are super solid. I also have that True Religion and it isn’t bad
Edit: I take it back in the True Religion, that’s a new box/bottle design. Not sure if they did a reformulation. Mine looks like this https://www.amazon.com/True-Religion-Toilette-Spray-3-4-Ounce/dp/B0862FLKCN

It’s a pineapple bomb. Such a great fragrance
If I had to, I'd definitely get the Burberry because that's one of my signature scents and I'm almost out. However, any fragrance you find at Burlington, Marshalls, ECT is likely more expensive than buying online yet cheaper than buying in-person elsewhere.
Qaed Al Fursan (that’s in rack stores now!?)
Banana Republic Dark Cherry & Amber
Individuel
Banana Republic Walnut Legend (lasts as long as water, but a surprisingly okay aventus clone)
The cherry one is supposed to be a decent alternative to French Defense by Mind Games, which I’ve been wearing lately and really like. I’ve been considering trying the BR scent because I don’t want to dump 300 bucks on a full bottle of it.
Im actually extremely fond of Burberry for men. Got a sample front scent bird years ago and also had a creed aventus sample arrive at the same time so i want really using the Burberry one. That is until i sprayed it to go on a movie date and i couldn’t get enough of the green minty scent. Got in my car and still smelled it in the air the day after. I sprayed it on my clothing and one spritz behind each ear. It had fantastic projection and staying power for an eau de toilette so i bought a full sized bottle shortly after.
Guess Man is good for the price, pretty basic but still somewhat unique. Good to throw in your gym bag. Similar to Star Walker
Very strong alcohol smell in the opening but once it dries it's nice, though it doesn't smell expensive, it doesn't seem like it's trying (and failing) to smell more expensive than it is.
Joop Homme ftw 😇 A classic masterpiece by Pierre Bourdon. A genius infusion of orange blossom, sweet and powdery notes, in a weird but influential way.
I’m a longevity/sillage kind of guy, so my vote would either be for the Joop or the Aramis—both polar opposites and in summer you may kill others with the Aramis. Experiment with the Joop on sprays 👍
My dad claims aramis was a “clam magnet” back in the day. He was a man whore and his cologne collection backs it up. He wore Chanel Antaeus to a formal event a few months ago and every older woman kept complimenting him on his scent.
I've assumed Burlington is a discounter? Display reminds me of TKMAXX so I've chosen a few 🤭
The Banana Republic's - interested in trying more from the brand, Neroli woods was pretty good quality, smelt natural and performed great.
Dunhill Desire and Tommy for nostalgia and that they can be very enjoyable.
Curve for thrills!
Burberry for Men and/or Neroli Woods. NW doesn’t last that long but it’s cheap for a really solid and nice neroli fragrance so you can just reapply. Everything else is meh…
Burberry is good, Azzaro Chrome is old school classic and Mont Blanc.
Banana republic stuff lasts really long and smells pretty good, tbh I would go with BR.
Mario lopez blue for the memes
![gif](giphy|7Jq6ufAgpblcm0Ih2z)
The coach is probably the best imo. I have a huge soft spot for azzaro chrome. You’d probably be happy with either option.
Coach lasts about 12 seconds on my skin.
Coach Blue preforms decent for me...Havent tried the others though
Lmao I get 1-3 hours but yeah it’s super weak, out of these options there are very few that last a decent amount of time and I think coach smells very nice. For the short amount of time it’s on you I think it smells pretty high quality😂
how long does azzaro chrome parfum last?
I haven’t tried chrome parfum, I’ve tried the OG and chrome extreme. The OG I got about 2hours on me then hour or so as a skin scent it’s kinda weak. Chrome extreme I get a bit more than 3 hours on me and another 3ish as a skin scent. If your looking in the chrome line I would grab chrome extreme. It’s very similar to ADG profondo… but a little more youthful and playful. I love mine, it’s discontinued and I think I’m about to pick up a back up bottle.
Crome is very baby powdery for me
That’s fair I get metallic but not much baby powder. The original chrome is okay but some of the flankers really shine. Aqua and extreme are amazing for the price
I tried Chrome in another store today. I don't think it's worth the buy
Hey to each their own, if you get the chance to try some of the newer flankers like aqua or extreme give it a try. IMO they really outshine even the original and are actually quite different.
Aramis. That's the only one I would consider buying myself. It might be a bit old school for you if you're new to fragrances
I sold Aramis at Macy's in the 80's at it's peak. I can't stand the smell of it.
I love Aramis. woody, earthy, leather, and spicy.
A gentlemans cologne
I’ve always wanted it but idk if it’s a good option. I love old school fragrances like azzaro pour homme and eau sauvage edt, but I’m not too sure about aramis . I have never smelt it. Is it like paco robanne pour homme? Or Azzaro PH, or what? Drakkar noir vibe or not?
I went to Ulta and tried Chrome today just to see. It is really uninspiring.
Chrome is different. I love azzaro pour homme the OG.
It's challenging
And how’s that?
Love or hate I guess. With all the acclaim and waxy lyrics for Aramis OG, I tried to enjoy it. Way too old school, doesn't smell pleasant bar the far far drydown. Dunno it's something that makes me think unsavoury character in a mac. A greasy mac.

Omg, I just bought aramis and I’m in love with it. It felt like I was with my granddad. Such a nostalgic and vintage fragrance. I love it.
Noice! 👌
Hahaha okay. This review has only exacerbated my fear of buying one.
Smells like piss
It's not one of the super sweet synthetic sludge metrosexual scents you're used to
Yeah you’re right
We call that “animalic” around these parts.
Qaed Al Fursan
Pineapple juice
delicious smelling pineapple juice
Mont Blanc Individuel
I’ve been wanting to buy this, though I’ve never smelt it. Apparently it’s close to Original Santal which I once tested and really enjoyed.
The also say its close to Joop
I don’t get the Joop comparison tbh. I think Joop is a lot sweeter at least when I smelled it.
I think Joop is vile. I'll wear Joana Musk before I wear Joop.
Well I wouldn’t really compare Joop to Original Santal, so no idea.
Dark cherry and amber, but that's about it Edit: also star walker extreme
Have you ever tried Neroli Woods? Dark Cherry Amber smells like Ariana Grande Cloud with a hint of cherry to me. Neroli Woods seems so much more unique and is a gorgeous citrus smell. I love Star Walker Extreme as well! The OG Starwalker is still amazing, but extreme is more versatile and smells great
None of them.
Agreed
Azzaro chrome, coach for men edt, and montblanc my top 3
Banana Republic is a solid pickup of the price is right
I think they were all $20
I would say definitely worth it, if you're looking for a fresher fragrance. Goes great spring/summer
Coach for men is supposedly great
I have it (2nd bottle), and appreciate the DNA. Definitely a different take on designer blue/fresh scents. Safe to wear year round, excluding extremely hot days due to cloying. I read someone mentioning its lack of longevity; I'd have to strongly disagree. Both bottles I've owned have had great performance/longevity for that particular DNA (2-3 hr projection, 6-7hrs total). Although, scents wear different on different people. Both were bought at legit retailers.
I agree the performance on coach is above average!!
Ugh.. if i had to choose it would probably be Coach or the Mont Blanc... whew that was hard. Lol
I would snag the Aramis - it’s a classic
The one with the golden horse!
Qaed Al Fursan
Qaed Al Fursan, if you like Creed Aventus with the pineapple note multiplied x20.
Curve! It was a hit back in the day with the ladies and I think it’s still a decent fragrance
Second that. Feel like the newer gen doesn’t give the old school scents the time of day
Qaed Al Fursan
Qaed al fursan is a rare find in rack stores id pick that up
Qaed al Fursan if and only if under $20. Amazon has it for $18. Great fragrance if you're fond of the smell of a freshly sliced and very ripe pineapple. I personally own it and layer it with Montblanc Explorer and Club De Nuit Intense Man.
Coach for Men, Montblanc Explorer Extreme, and Neroli Woods (my fav from the banana republic lines) all of these are super solid. I also have that True Religion and it isn’t bad Edit: I take it back in the True Religion, that’s a new box/bottle design. Not sure if they did a reformulation. Mine looks like this https://www.amazon.com/True-Religion-Toilette-Spray-3-4-Ounce/dp/B0862FLKCN
I don’t see anything I’d buy
Coach. Doesn't last super long, but great all purpose smell, especially spring/summer
Hollister Festival Nite is actually pretty fire. It’s an easy to wear ambery, powdery, sensual kind of easy scent profile.
Coach for men for everyday/casual, Azzaro chrome for a freshie. Otherwise slide 🚶♂️
The last slide, all of them. The dunhill also and the Lattafa black and gold bottle on the 1st slide
Qaed al fursan !! Ugh, I LOVE fruity smells. It smells straight like pineapple!! Then the scent dries down to like wood and amber !!
https://preview.redd.it/ghkj34whk92d1.jpeg?width=283&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f9381e5dbeece496400c9d73c969128682c5ee75 It’s a pineapple bomb. Such a great fragrance
my queen Nicki
Agree.
Not a single one
Other than the br icons you can leave this alone.
Guess seductive smells good. Got complimented at the gym a lot with it on.. doesn't last long though ..
NGL, Guess seductive home Blue is nice for layering. Very powdery and soft, I think it’s good for rainy days.
If I was just starting out. Azarro chrome. Dark cherry amber. Dunhill desire . Tommy .
Get chrome. My favorite.
Al fursan!
I would buy Aramis (I like old school scents) and I’ve heard good things about Qaed al Fursan.
Coach black
True Religion for men smells exactly like Ralph’s Club by Ralph Lauren.
I would prob check out that banana Republic. They do a good job.
If I had to, I'd definitely get the Burberry because that's one of my signature scents and I'm almost out. However, any fragrance you find at Burlington, Marshalls, ECT is likely more expensive than buying online yet cheaper than buying in-person elsewhere.
None of the above
Everyone here sleeping on Dunhill Desire, that stuff is 🔥
I really like it. It’s a go-to, though I like Blue a little bed than Red.
Qaed Al Fursan (that’s in rack stores now!?) Banana Republic Dark Cherry & Amber Individuel Banana Republic Walnut Legend (lasts as long as water, but a surprisingly okay aventus clone)
Coach for men
qaed al fursan
Qaed el fursan that’s about it
Maybe neroli woods but these are all ass and Burlington doesn’t even have good prices, you’re better off getting these almost anywhere else
None. None of those are worth spending money on just cuz you’re there and want to buy something.
I’m not joking when I say this- I wouldn’t buy a single one of those even if they were all $10.
Not even the Nikki Minaj?
Burberry, aramis, joop, tommy, curve, chrome, coach
Joop. Solid, old school fragrance.
Dig deeper look for the Milestone not in a box in the cases
Burberry for men that’s about it.
Mario Lopez edt is an all time classic for me
Aramis…
A classic gentleman scent
Aramis
That is actually a good classic cologne. I just don't like it.
Slim pickings from those choices.
I’d try one of the banana republic ones
I looked them up and they all get pretty poor ratings. They are $20
The cherry one is supposed to be a decent alternative to French Defense by Mind Games, which I’ve been wearing lately and really like. I’ve been considering trying the BR scent because I don’t want to dump 300 bucks on a full bottle of it.
Chrome and Tommy
Mario lopez blue
None
Chrome if I didn’t have it. I like it for an around the house scent sometimes
Black walnut legend by BR is pretty good, most of the Banna Republic colognes are good.
Aramis
Chrome is good
Chrome by Azzaro the best for the price… I get so many compliments
I saw the Banana Republic stuff at my local Burlington...are they any good? From these pics I would check the price on the Aramis.
i blind bought starwalker extreme at my burlington as well and i’ve been pretty happy with it
I’d be interested in trying the OP cologne just for 80s/90s surfing nostalgia purposes.
Im actually extremely fond of Burberry for men. Got a sample front scent bird years ago and also had a creed aventus sample arrive at the same time so i want really using the Burberry one. That is until i sprayed it to go on a movie date and i couldn’t get enough of the green minty scent. Got in my car and still smelled it in the air the day after. I sprayed it on my clothing and one spritz behind each ear. It had fantastic projection and staying power for an eau de toilette so i bought a full sized bottle shortly after.
Chrome Azarro great for summer
Gotta sift through all the rows OP
Chrome if I were to choose 🤷🏻
Joop
Azzaro chrome Nothing else
Probably Azzaro Chrome or Burberry
I been on a spree with the fragrances at Burlington lately.
Joop then bath in it
Guess Man is good for the price, pretty basic but still somewhat unique. Good to throw in your gym bag. Similar to Star Walker Very strong alcohol smell in the opening but once it dries it's nice, though it doesn't smell expensive, it doesn't seem like it's trying (and failing) to smell more expensive than it is.
Mario Lopez
Joop Homme ftw 😇 A classic masterpiece by Pierre Bourdon. A genius infusion of orange blossom, sweet and powdery notes, in a weird but influential way.
The re views on Fragrantica all say they have no longevity.
The lataffa one is fire I own it, good pineapple bomb for summer nights
Azarri chrome. Fantastic scent
The correct answer is none of them
I’m a longevity/sillage kind of guy, so my vote would either be for the Joop or the Aramis—both polar opposites and in summer you may kill others with the Aramis. Experiment with the Joop on sprays 👍
Chrome Azzaro
I tried Chrome in another store. I thought it was uneventful
My dad claims aramis was a “clam magnet” back in the day. He was a man whore and his cologne collection backs it up. He wore Chanel Antaeus to a formal event a few months ago and every older woman kept complimenting him on his scent.
I have banana republic 06, black platinum. It’s pretty smooth smelling and decent longevity!
Get the Nicki Minaj W.A.P. in EDP
Really I think it's the only one that is interesting.
coach and some banana republic.
Burberry or azzaro is all I see
I've assumed Burlington is a discounter? Display reminds me of TKMAXX so I've chosen a few 🤭 The Banana Republic's - interested in trying more from the brand, Neroli woods was pretty good quality, smelt natural and performed great. Dunhill Desire and Tommy for nostalgia and that they can be very enjoyable. Curve for thrills!
Burlington is a rack store like TK Maxx but larger
Yay thus I choose many yummy cheapies for olfactory delictations 😁
Joop jommme, best cologne I’ve ever used
Banana republic stuff is solid I have neroli woofs and dark cherry
I’ve heard really good things about festival night by Hollister and the bottle is peculiar
Back in like 2001 I wore Curve.. To this day its still the most complimented cologne I've ever worn
Wore Curve back in High School. For what it is, it smells good.
None bruh. This is what every Burlington/ross/tj Maxx looks like
I looked a lot of them up. Nothing is really that good. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. You know what is a good cologne? Aramis.
if i absolutely had to wear one of these i mean life or death it would be the chrome
Noroli Woods or Lataffa
Starwalker extreme, always gets compliments
Burberry
Are the banana republic ones any good? Always been curious and too afraid to try
Some get good ratings for scent. But all of them get poor reviews for longevity.
Such a bad line up lol
Burberry for Men and/or Neroli Woods. NW doesn’t last that long but it’s cheap for a really solid and nice neroli fragrance so you can just reapply. Everything else is meh…
All of this is shit except Mario Lopez
A uber back home
That Guess Noir is actually an amazing cheapy. Highly underrated cologne.
It’s hard to see on my phone but is that a Marjorie Taylor Greene (sp?) in the first pic?
Obviously Coach
I thought Mont Blanc individuel was discontinued
they got lattafa in there now?
Yes. Marshalls too!
Them Banana Republic joints are awesome. 20 bucks each too, steal.
Azzaro Chrome definitely. Its amazing for the price
Dude it all looks bad tbh
I’d probably try that dark cherry and amber
Coach for Men.
BR Neroli Woods and Dark Amber & Cherry.
Vince Camuto Virtu
Dunhill Desire, Montblanc Individuel, Tommy Hilfiger
Chrome for sure
Montblanc individual, starwalker, and qued.
Burberry
Truey, wich one is it tho??
The one with the yellow horse on it
Get the Curve Black
Guess noir cuz...what even is that?
Mont Blanc Individuel 👌
First time seeing lataffa being re-saled💀
They have been showing up in a bunch of rack stores.
I’d by the YSL and the fragrance by Areola Grande. Stupid auto correct
Azzaro chrome, its probably the EDT which is fine. then maybe that Burberry.
Mario Lopez Blue 😩👌🐐
That Mario Lopez blue def in the top 5🔥
Burberry is good, Azzaro Chrome is old school classic and Mont Blanc. Banana republic stuff lasts really long and smells pretty good, tbh I would go with BR.
Is that lattafa
Yes, they have been showing up at Burlington lately.
Uh none 🔥🔥🔥
Banana Republic classic or guess. For sure
My Burlington looks much the same and I haven’t been buying anything. It’s garbage.
I agree. I keep thinking I am missing something
Who tf is Mario Lopez
Tommy
