I like this one;
It doesn’t have as much of the “Acqua Di Gio” genetics as the previous Profondo. Don’t get me wrong, it has similarities to Profondo, just not as much of the original ADG. It has a closer Bleu de Chanel feeling than it’s predecessor does as well.

A VERY citrus filled intro fades into a lighter feeling BDC EDT vibe. If you’re looking for absolute originality, look elsewhere, as this one borrows from a lot of fragrances that are already on the market.

The performance is good on my skin; I get a good 8 hours easily. The projection and sillage are good as well, being a hair lighter than the original Profondo, but still reaching an easy 3ft radius, and lingering in a nice trail.

The best way to sum it up in my opinion is this; it’s a combination. The original Profondo without the ADG vibes, combined with a more citrus filled BDC EDT. That is what Profondo Lights is. Nothing bad, but nothing “breathtaking”.

Another sweet citrussy release
The start is very fresh and citrusy, thanks to the green mandarin orange note and also to the marine notes .. I smell the same start in Davidoff Cool Water intense and there is more pleasant than in the Armani one, probably because it does not have any other notes except the green mandarin in the opening.

At first it is not spectacular in any way, I would say that this is another sweet citrussy release, almost like a summer hit .. to make some quick appearance, get some money and then disappear in the sea of mainstream perfumes. But after a while on the skin, it becomes nicer and I can feel the lavender and the cedar coming to life.

If you already have a fresh, blue scent like Dylan Blue, Cool Water intense from Davidoff or even the Profondo from Armani .. I do not see why you would need also Lights in your collection. Now is available in two sizes 40ml for 56€ and 75ml for 80€ so I think it has tough competition at this price point, even the Armani Code Parfum from the same house smells nicer and lasts longer.

I absolutely love that this fragrance gets ZERO hype. Keeping it all to myself.

An even more boring version of Acqua di Giò Profondo, with less marine notes and more sweet citrusy and green notes. Needless.

I liked this better than Profondo, not sure I'll purchase as I do own Profondo but it's purchase worthy if you don't

Too much of the ADG dna in this one to justify. It’s ok, a bit more salty and citrusy, but not unique enough. Ok performance at best.

The differences with Profondo become more apparent after time. More refined? Not as dense nor marine & deviates a little from the Gio DNA.

BDC wanna be ..again. 11 years after Chanel's invention the lack of ideas is obvious . Better buy BDC EDT - it is classier, more elegant.

As unnecessary as a 9th leg on a spider.
I don't understand why they make a flanker from a flanker. Scent = Profondo light.

Quite close to the original, but feels a touch less synthetic, a nuance darker/greener, cooler. Both probably aren't necessary.

Reflects the mass taste of the many. Generic-biting-synthetic shower gel candidate, pop culture olé!
