Acqua di Giò Profumo Giorgio Armani 2015 Parfum

Acqua di Gio Eau de Toilette is a perfume with a long tradition and is one of the best-selling perfumes in the world, yet it lacks a certain component for today. Even for a designer, the fragrance is rather one-dimensional and lacks complexity. This has changed with the Profumo flanker!

Profumo transports your fragrance DNA into a timeless era. Woods nestle in the background to the aquatic notes without coming to the fore and the incense manages to immerse you more deeply in the fragrance without really being perceptible. There are also a few green notes that give the fragrance the right balance and a slight spiciness. Patchouli in the base is not really perceptible for me, but probably contributes to the multi-dimensionality mentioned above.

When I wear it, I often find myself smelling the sprayed area and am happy to wear it. It lasts for several hours (5-7) on my skin, which is fine for a designer freshie. Even longer on clothing. What must a fragrance be able to do? It has to make the wearer happy, create an aura in which the person feels comfortable, and occasionally hit the nose. Acqua die Gio Profumo achieves all of this.

It is a pity that it is no longer produced in this form; in my opinion, the new Acqua die Gio perfume does not quite manage to capture all the dimensions of this fragrance in the new formulation.
