Armani Beauty - Acqua di Giò - Parfum - Cologne for Men - Fresh & Woody Men’s Fragrance - Bergamot, Ginger, Marine, Geranium, Rosemary, Clary Sage, Patchouli, Incense Notes

Acqua di Gio Parfum is basically the spiritual successor to the discontinued Acqua di Gio Profumo, and that’s the most important thing to know going in. If you loved Profumo, this is the closest modern replacement in the lineup. The opening keeps the familiar Acqua di Gio DNA. You still get that fresh marine citrus brightness, but it feels deeper and more refined than the original EDT. It smells clean and recognizable right away. As it settles, the Profumo comparison becomes obvious. The mid introduces aromatics and that signature incense note, which gives it the darker, more mature character people loved about Profumo. This is what separates it from the lighter Acqua di Gio flankers. The drydown leans into incense, patchouli, and smooth woods, creating a clean but slightly smoky base. It keeps the freshness of the original DNA while adding depth and maturity, which is exactly what made Profumo so popular. In terms of similarity, this is very close to Profumo overall. Most people will find: - nearly identical vibe in the air - slightly smoother and more modern blending - a touch less smokiness compared to older Profumo batches It doesn’t feel like a completely new fragrance. It feels like a refined continuation of that darker Acqua di Gio style. Performance is solid for a fresh-leaning scent. It lasts noticeably longer than the original EDT and sits in that reliable all-day designer range. Not nuclear, but very wearable and consistent. Stylistically, this is extremely versatile. It works for daily wear, office settings, nights out, and year-round use. It carries a more mature and polished vibe than most aquatic fragrances without becoming heavy. Overall, Acqua di Gio Parfum succeeds because it delivers what people were hoping for. It keeps the DNA of the beloved Profumo alive in a slightly smoother, modernized form. If you were a Profumo fan or want a darker, more refined Acqua di Gio, this is the one that makes the most sense.

I hear about too many knock-offs coming out of Amazon. I assure you this is the real deal! If you want Aqua di Gio, this is where to order. It's also cheaper than any other depth. store I looked into. The big bottle of cologne was only $100. You can go cheaper but the cologne is strong when you put it on but as it wears, it has a fantastic scent that lasts all day!

I've been a big fan of Acqua di Gio. After learning about fragrance strengths and realizing AdG came in eau de parfum, I wanted to give it a shot. Skip to the last paragraph for summary :) Colognes come in various strengths, starting with eau Fraiche as the weakest (1-3% perfume oils), followed by eau de cologne (2-5% oils), eau de toilette (5-15% oils), eau de parfum (15-20% oils), and parfum sitting on the top (20-40% oils). The percentage of perfume oils in a cologne doesn't just change the strength or how long it lasts. An eau de toilette (EDT) can have different notes than an eau de parfum (EDP), which is the case we have here when comparing the "regular" Acqua di Gio EDT vs the black label EDP. For me the EDT hits you primarily with a clean water scent, follows with woody scent, and finishes with a citrusy Bergamot, musk, and flowers; like being in a field on the edge of a cypress forest after a cool rain, carrying a bouquet of ripe honeysuckle you found on top of a crate of oranges and lemons. The EDP has almost the same profile but bound together with this deeper and more complex floral scent. It's not too flowery nor powdery. It's more juicy—almost sexy—and less musky. You can really smell the sweet Bergamot and lavender in the EDP. The EDP also has a fuller body. If I had to use an analogy, imagine comparing a high end instant coffee with the same high end beans that are roasted to order and ground immediately before use. While having similar tastes and coming from the same source, the whole beans are going to give you a more complex and full-bodied flavor vs the instant version. The EDP boasts an olfactory robustness while remaining light, clean, and natural. Based on my initial impressions, EDT will still be my "main use" cologne, but EDP will be in regular use. I think I'll stack them together, using the EDP on my main pulse points (neck, wrists) and using the EDT everywhere else. While the EDP isn't special or expensive enough to be considered for just special occasions, it's definitely a noticeable-enough difference in price that you may think twice before that extra spray of the EDP (6.7oz bottle of EDT = $180 vs EDP = $240). Bottom line is: if you like Acqua di Gio EDT, there's a 9/10 chance you'll also like this EDP. If you've never tried the EDT, I'd recommend getting a sampler of that first, since the EDP version is not only more expensive but also seems to lack sample options (on Amazon at least).

Another excellent one! Love the projection, longevity and subtle notes.

Smells amazing, but my bottle arrived defective. With every spray, an excessive amount of Parfum leaked out around the sprayer. Amazon customer service is great and made it right, just disappointing.

Very earthy and masculine smelling. Great quality but VERY potent. 1-2 sprays will last 24 hours or more, so be advised

Have a large variety of fragrances, but this one is tough to beat. It's a good go to, wear it casually or out on the town. Rarely will you find someone who doesn't like it. Lasts longer than most.

It’s a great cologne. Not over bearing. Lasts a long time but it’s not the fragrance that goes with me. I suggest a sample size before committing to this once.

It didn't take long, the product meets expectations.

Muito bom
