Acqua di Giò Profondo Parfum

I was really looking forward to enjoying this fragrance but it has been a huge let down. It doesn’t smell as fresh as profondo edp and, in my opinion, the performance is just horrible. I’ve tried to give it a chance this past week of wearing it but the best I can get out of it is 1 hour of very weak projection before it disappears entirely. The scent fades away from clothing after 2 hours. At this price point you would expect some longevity but nope. Horrible release from ADG. Highly recommend you stay away from this one.

Loved it! Not sure why there is so much hate for this flanker. Had no issues with longevity and sillage. Initially, I thought it smells like YSL Y EDP because of sweetness, but they both smell different. It’s a great freshie, smells slightly different than other major blue fragrances and would not offend anyone. I would rate it as 8.5 out of 10.

I'm happy that I've finally found a Acqua di Giò that I love, but I'm sorry to say, it's probably the one I love, because it's the one that's the least Acqua di Giò of the line for me. Bought it couple hours after testing it. First it starts as a really obvious and natural mandarin + an oceanic/salty feel. A couple minutes after, a green, floral, sweet, and slightly powdery note starts to appear. It kinda gives me "Greener Invictus Aqua / Invictus Parfum" vibes at this point, but it's not an obvious similarity, just this citric, marine and sweet tone. It's deep, slightly playful, may give some male shower gel energy at some points, but It will get deeper and richer. it's really well done and it's a fun one to smell. After a couple hours, it loses a bit of this citric + bright florals part, and it becomes a little bit darker, earthy... Kind of salty honeyed flowers, if that makes sense? Reminds me a bit of Costa Azzura by Tom Ford at this point. Longevity is good, but it's true that this is far from the EdP sillage. I did not have the issues people mentioned of it being different on my skin. Guess I got lucky with my skin chemistry here? Versatility wise, all seasons except maybe winter for me. Also I would avoid more than 3 sprays in a really hot summer day. Bottle is beautiful, specially when it gets some light through it, but it's a fingerprint magnet.

I was pleasantly surprised by this fragrance sample, despite not typically favoring fast fashion scents. It leaves a pleasant trail in the air, and the marine accord diffuses nicely, although not as appealing up close. Additionally, the presence of natural ingredients is discernible. Personally, I wouldn't wear this fragrance, but it's a significant improvement over the overpowering sweetness of ambroxan and harsh woody notes found in scents like chemical warfare named Sauvage. I urge others to opt for fragrances like this one instead, as they offer a more bearable olfactory experience.
