Acqua Di Gio by Armani is a classic scent that many people own, so you may not stand out as being unique if you choose to wear it. It’s been around for a long long time. However, that being said, it is a fragrance that smells great and fresh, with a prominent melon opening note that gives it a light, summery vibe. I’m a huge fan of melon notes so to me this is a fantastic fragrance. I would recommend one of the flankers like Profumo if you want a twist that differentiates your cologne while maintaining the same DNA. Objectively it’s a fantastic fragrance, it’s just too common. There’s a very good chance that you’ve smelled it before. I’ve heard that it’s the best selling fragrance of all time. I don’t know if that’s true but I can believe it. The scent is definitely ... MoreAcqua Di Gio by Armani is a classic scent that many people own, so you may not stand out as being unique if you choose to wear it.

Acqua Di Gio EDT has a whopping 22 notes listed yet it's the simplest scent I've smelled. It's also voted the most popular Cologne ever made so you know it's not bad. This cologne can be worn anytime, anywhere and is an extremely inoffensive and crowd pleasing scent. Probably the best scent you could wear working with people in close spaces(Ex. Server, waitress, salesmen,ECT). You will draw in complement but it's almost impossible to hate. It's the type of scent that if you don't like it you don't mind it. Fresh, bright, citrusy, and aquatic notes are what stand out to make this cologne extremely inoffensive. I'd recommended this if you get you hands on a sample and enjoy it, but it suffers from reformation and longevity problems so make sure it goes with you skin ... MoreAcqua Di Gio EDT has a whopping 22 notes listed yet it's the simplest scent I've smelled.

Timeless, Iconic, A classic masterpiece If you have even a remote interest in Men’s fragrance, you must have heard of it, smelled it and most probably tried it. There is a reason its still one of the best sellers at all retails 27 years after its release and the most sold Men’s fragrance of all time. There is no denying the godly freshness and cleanliness this fragrance has you feeling. That lemon lime neroli blast in the opening is incredibly pleasing. The sea notes, the beautiful freesia, that very subtle woody dry down, it's all blended so well to make the ultimate casual fragrance, and I still get compliments when I wear it. In an era of gourmand and sweet fragrances, ADG still stands the test of time. What exactly makes a fragrance outdated? I still see vintage ... MoreTimeless, Iconic, A classic masterpiece If you have even a remote interest in Men’s fragrance, you must have heard of it, smelled it and most probably tried it.

I can’t compare it to the older batches since i was not old enough to own it when it came out. I’ve heard that it doesn’t perform as good as it used to but i still smell it 6-7 hours after spraying on me and for a clean aquatic freshie, that’s quite something.

Aqua di Gio Parfum is new for me...

I am a long time user of Aqua Di Gio Eau de Toilette that my wife enjoys the fragrance and purchases for me. I have always had a tremendous amount of favorable comments from strangers, in Malls, Grocery Store, basically everywhere. This is her first purchase of this for me, last month, mainly because the ease of refilling the bottle! And after reading the fragrance before hand seemed to be basically the same as de Toilette. However, I have worn this out and around for a couple of weeks, and realized not only has no one mentioned my cologne, even my wife asked me if I had used it a couple of hours after I had used it! So I do want to say, I don't ever use but one spray on each side of my neck! I certainly never want to wreak of ANY Cologne! I haven't tried two sprays ... MoreI am a long time user of Aqua Di Gio Eau de Toilette that my wife enjoys the fragrance and purchases for me.

But I may end up going back to the de toilette after another month? This de Parfum is Pricier but may have been weekend by other ingredients??? This is my honest experience. I also always purchase from this Website of Dillard's, great price great fragrances.

Blunter and cheaper than the original

I’ve been using the OG Acqua Di Gio for over 20 years (yikes lol) because this really hot guy in school wore it, so, obviously, and have only rarely experimented with anything else. Most colognes and fragrances in general gross me out or give me a headache; this is the only one I’ve ever felt is refreshing and enlivening.This new eau de parfum version falls into the category of “doing too much” for me. It’s much heavier and more in your face, as is typical of this fragrance category, and it lacks the lightness and buoyancy of the original. Bluntly, it smells like a drug store or big box knock off. It doesn’t smell high end. It’s not vile, but it’s not a turn on (I think we all agree the original is kind of an aphrodisiac.)I have been curious about the other new ... MoreI’ve been using the OG Acqua Di Gio for over 20 years (yikes lol) because this really hot guy in school wore it, so, obviously, and have only rarely experimented with anything else.

Excellently Made! Delivers Compliments!

Cologne and fragrance in general is one of those things that can be very polarizing. I have personally used cologne that turned heads from complete strangers in a good way and received compliments.When I tried Acqua di Gio Eau de Toilette, I knew this classic was going to remain one of the best! I love the different overtones and undertones that this cologne gives. The overtone is a citrus tangerine scent, the core of it is subtle flowery rosemary, and the undertone is patchouli. This gives off a subtle sense of masculine confidence that isn't encroaching on a false sense of bravado but more of a reflection of one's comfort in own skin.When I wore it to the office, my colleagues complimented me on the new scent and dare I say, hit on me.

Sensual allure

I had the pleasure of experiencing the captivating scent of Acqua di Gio Parfum on my partner, and I must say, it left a lasting impression. From the moment he walked into the room, I was immediately drawn to the alluring fragrance that surrounded him.The initial burst of freshness was invigorating and uplifting. The combination of citrus notes created a vibrant and energetic aura that perfectly complemented his presence. It was like a breath of fresh air, reminiscent of a sunny day by the ocean.As the fragrance settled, the heart notes emerged, revealing a beautiful blend of herbs and spices. The aromatic nuances like sage added an enticing herbal element, while the subtle hints of spices added depth and complexity. It was a captivating fusion that enhanced his ... MoreI had the pleasure of experiencing the captivating scent of Acqua di Gio Parfum on my partner, and I must say, it left a lasting impression.

Smells like Bobby Darin singing Beyond The Sea

The bottle is sleek and square exuding the timeless quality the fragrance launched in 1996. Ever since, Acqua Di Gio has turned into a classic scent for any man.I jumped out of the morning shower and felt the slight texture of the frosted glass as my fingers wrapped around the squared off sides of the 20ml bottle. My bathroom lights from above refract through the glass and create an aquatic aura calculating the notes trapped within the frosted prison.I press to release the juice and saturate my pulse points. Instantly, I forget that I am in my Oregon bathroom and see myself walking through groves of Orange during the time of their life when their blossoms release essence in the soft air currents. Ocean water in the distance crash upon beach rocks and create a ... MoreThe bottle is sleek and square exuding the timeless quality the fragrance launched in 1996.

Instantly, I forget that I am in my Oregon bathroom and see myself walking through groves of Orange during the time of their life when their blossoms release essence in the soft air currents. Ocean water in the distance crash upon beach rocks and create a magical ozonic atmosphere that is cool, refreshing and briny.I smell lemon at the top mixed with orange and jasmine, I am welcomed and kissed with a Mediterranean semblance. Acqua Di Gio then turns into a luxury vacation and notes of hyacinth, rosemary, sage and Calone make part of the heart. A spiciness of nutmeg and coriander is tempered by the base of delicious rich resinous cedar, amber, oakmoss and white musk.Acqua Di Gio exudes strength, positivity, energy and confidence. Even though this fragrance is marketed towards men, I know of several women who have clutched this as their signature daily.Acqua Dio Gio 20ml bottle is currently going for $35 on the Giorgio Armani website and would make a great travel and work bottle for on the go. I believe this is a great price to try this iconic fragrance and have actually purchase a larger 200ml bottle that I was able to engrave though Armani. Scent lasts around 5 - 7 hours and anytime someone passes by, they ask what I am wearing.I would recommend this quintessential fragrance to anyone despite its popularity.

While similar to Profondo, still a must-own

I been eyeing for a few weeks now, and checking the US site for it's release almost daily, so on Tuesday I ordered a bottle of it with overnight shipping. It arrived today.Therefore, this is a very early first impression of the scent. I've been wearing it all day, and as with any scent, the opening is certainly what predominates my senses at the moment.For me, I think it would be fair and accurate to describe this is as "the EDT with the addition of that salty, minerally deep-marine accord which heavily characterizes Profondo".It also features (at least in the open) a soapy quality that is absent in the EDT but can be found in Profondo, which leaves me to believe it is the Lavender at work. This soapy quality is not dominant or overwhelming, it's just ... MoreI been eyeing for a few weeks now, and checking the US site for it's release almost daily, so on Tuesday I ordered a bottle of it with overnight shipping.

This soapy quality is not dominant or overwhelming, it's just there.It definitely out-performs it's older brother EDT, significantly.Acqua di Gio EDP is a happy middle ground between the EDT and Profondo, combining the fruity-water-on-the-breeze magic of the original with the depth, punch, and soapiness on offer from Profondo.Looking at the comparisons, I think this is much closer to Profondo than it is Essenza or Profumo, by a long shot. Essenza actually has a good bit of what eventually became Profumo somewhere in it's DNA. Where I described this as a happy middle-ground between EDT and Profondo, Essenza was the happy-middle ground between EDT and Profumo.This release has very, very little in common with either of those, and what it does have in common with them is more about the DNA of the EDT which is present in both.That's not a bad thing either, as I think Profumo does perfectly what it set out to do, and should be left in it's lane. We don't need a re-release of Profumo which does the job less-well than it did.Furthermore, to address a question I am quite sure sits at the forefront of many people's mind; this is not a replacement for the EDT, but it's a really good release and a good addition to the line.I think those who will be most pleased with this release will be those who REALLY liked Profondo - but wished it had skewed slightly more towards the root DNA of the EDT than it did.I'll probably add an updated review later as I get some more time with it. For now though, I do recommend it.
