The stereotyped and universal aquat
When talking about a fragrance that symbolically unites the ideas of a masculine aquatic, there is probably no getting around Acqua di Gio Profumo. Much too interwoven is this classic with the style-defining virtues of an aquatic-fresh perfume.
I even go so far out on a limb and dare to say that everyone (of course, always everyone) who likes this scent direction has already heard of this one - or the original origin fragrance - read or probably smelled it before. And because this distinctive scent is so unique, most can probably remember just that perception.
Personally, I always perceive this scent quite consciously, the last time particularly impressively in April when a friend moved. He lived for rent in a completely oversized, elaborately restored and listed old building city villa of the Gründerzeit. When I entered the entrance area or lobby in the morning, I smelled it immediately. After the first coffee, I visited the bathroom and could make sure. I smelled Acqua di Gio in its original form. It was probably a fairly old batch, because the intensity was stunning and flooded the entire house. And from what I gather, the wearer of the scent didn't overdose on it when he applied it, and certainly didn't run through every room leaving a spray everywhere. That day in April brought the scent back to my mind and showed me how much it can shape one's image/perception of a person.
Then a few weeks later, while shopping at a large drugstore, I deliberately tested the Profumo flanker, along with another scent. Both backs of my hands were in use, and I must confess that the AdG Profumo did not fare well that day.
Then in a fragrance post about two weeks ago I was sent a tester of the AdG Profundo, sprayed it on straight away and smelled the old familiar AdG note. This version liked with immediately better than those in the drugstore.
Earlier this week, I received another fragrance mail and inside was a surprise 5ml bottling of AdG Profumo. I must confess, I was very pleased and immediately smelled the spray head. I liked what I could perceive there and took it upon myself to apply the fragrance the following day and "observe" it throughout the day. I consciously decided against taking the bottling to work. I wanted to smell the evolution and not refresh the top note every two hours. This is indeed just as distinctive and refreshing in its effervescence, but I wanted to fathom the core of the fragrance.
After the admittedly generous dosage in the morning in the bath (must be enough for the whole day), I set out and was enormously excited by the great projection. It was not even necessary to move the wrist to the nose. I smelled it even as it was, without it seeming too overbearing in the slightest. Nor do I think that he embodied a disturbing aura for those around me in the immediate vicinity. Sure people smelled him in conversation with me, in the stairwell or while walking behind me, but no one avoided him or made a comment to that effect, either pos. or neg. I think that's the true art of AdG: it stands out, is identified as such, but doesn't interfere despite its prominent perception and sillage. It expertly subordinates itself without disappearing. It always provides that fresh aura, even 4-5 hours after application. This is fascinating, in my opinion. This fresh, herbaceous spiciness that the fragrance takes in a very nicely rounded way is unique in this form. The Mediterranean herbs give it a well-measured astringency that subliminally assists the aquatic and becomes more prominent as time goes on. I like that immensely. The patchoulieske nature connection is furthermore always given, becomes in the course even always better in the projection.
In conclusion, I can say that the AdG Profumo has once again inspired me sustainably. This time even the first time also on me.
