It’s a classic for a reason. Versatile, relaxed, can be dressed up or down. A staple for any man’s wardrobe.
It’s a good mass appealing fragrance. However, it is old and there are so many other fragrances that smell and project so much better. If you’re looking to get an Aqua di gio fragrance, grab the Profumo (black bottle).
Acqua di Gio is a timeless classic, beautiful masculine citrus and florals which is both nostalgic and contemporary. It opens with its iconic salty marine accord and a multitude of citrus with jasmine and neroli. As it begins to dry down, an aromatic musky profile of rosemary, cedar and oakmoss starts to shine alongside a touch of fruity sweetness and a deepened heart of various florals. It’s somewhat synthetic across the board and isn’t particularly complex, but this scent is one of a kind and has continued to be a best seller since the 90s for a reason. People love this and it definitely gets compliments. While the performance isn’t great, the scent is good enough to look past this in my opinion. The new EDP version is pleasant, but it lacks that iconic salty scent profile which makes the original so addictive. I definitely think this is still worth owning today and is a summer staple for me.
Another staple, youth favourite. Clean...fresh...amazing... A true classic, popular for good reason...citrusy, classy...suited to everyday use. Great stuff.
Classic scent, something as a young man you would imagine smelling on your father. Consistently good and versatile scent that can be worn on any occasion, all year round.
