Acqua di Giò Eau de Parfum by Giorgio Armani

I was really excited to get this considering how weak ADG EDT is. Smells similar to Profondo with less mineral notes. Longevity is good, projection is low to moderate. ADG fans should pull the trigger on this, everyone else should try it but it’s not a MUST have.

I get very good projection and 7-8 hours longevity.

A Fresh Green Breeze That Doesn't Try Too Hard (RIP Grandma)

In a world where flankers multiply like summer dandelions and reformulation debates rage on like pub arguments, Acqua di Gio Pour Homme Eau de Parfum (2022) quietly steps in with a confident nod to the original, but with a greener, more grounded twist. Life’s too short to track every batch code... sometimes, you just want something that works. As I mentioned before, the entire AdG line is the epitome of functional fragrances, and this one continues on that trend.

The composition opens with a fresh burst of green mandarin, immediately setting a crisp tone. As it settles, the heart reveals a trio of clary sage, lavender, and geranium... herbaceous, slightly (genderless) floral, and green. These notes give the fragrance an almost leafy character that distinguishes it from the marine-dominant DNA of the original. The base is anchored by vetiver and mineral woods, adding a dry, earthy finish that lingers for a while.

This Adg flanker retains the breezy, aquatic soul of Acqua di Gio but filters it through a more aromatic, slightly rugged lens. It’s less about sea spray and more about my (dead) grandmother's Mediterranean coastal herb garden, maybe after a summer rain.

Performance is solid: 6+ hours of noticeable presence, stretching to 10 hours as a soft skin scent, even in high heat. It’s a great option for warm weather and easy to wear without being boring. The projection is average.

If you’re not emotionally invested in the AdG lineage or the reformulation rabbit hole, this is a good fragrance... but in terms of complexity, it is just one step above wearing deodorant. All in all it is a well-executed, modern aromatic that earns its place in a summer rotation.

Essenza? I'm not sure, but I like it!

Same base as the original, although somewhat more intense, with citrus fruits without being dominant, going in the wake of the protagonist notes, the aquatic.

When it begins to settle on skin, you can perceive green and slightly woody leaves that I personally like and a lot. Similarly, the overall computation feels like light, "airy", fresh, like a summer and sea breeze on my face (I wouldn't know how to describe it)

It is added some metallic and cold background, probably due to the mixture of lavender and geranium.

It is very likely that we will find ourselves before Essenza's substitute, but we still have to do more tests.

For me it's Essenza + original + Profondo.

After 7 exact hours, it is still there but flush with the skin.

Interesting proposal but not essential

After having been using it, you feel a fragrance with deep marine notes, a marked bitter citrus part, green notes, it has a contrast between youthful touches and mature touches, which give versatility in hot and temperate climates, the performance is well within the type of fragrance that it is, I don't think it's the same as any of the line but they feel part of all of them, continuing with the concept. I don't think it's essential, but it's interesting.

Eau tres fraiche - if Hermes hadn´t used that one

And of course, if Jean Claude Elena would have been the perfumer.

But for ADP EDP most likely Alberto Morillas is the perfumer still, and from my first impressions this has been done by some intern at Firmenich to refresh the EDT by removing the woody notes, adding lavender, geranium and removing the main notes like Jasmin, Peach, Rose and Violet - so making it less floral or woody.

If I would blind test this without knowing the bottle, I would think I got Profondo Lights or similar .. because it has traces of the Original but it´s more citrussy and weak, very weak for an ADG.

I remember my first bottle, in 2011 of the EDT .. you would fill a room with 2 sprays for what regards silage, the EDP is very shy .. almost like an Eau de Cologne and it will be very close to your bubble very fast.

I think for a summery hit and go hit, like many of the modern songs from the market .. this EDP is well thought, but for a cash cow for L´Oreal .. for sure it will not be one.

I am not sure for whom is this perfume, because you get so many other good options inhouse from Armani like Code Absolu, Code EDP or even ADG Profumo - which at least gives some trace of performance.

It is not a bad release, but also nothing ground breaking .. for me this is another spam quick release which will be forgotten as soon as the hype goes off. Enjoy the video !
