Unagitated spice
The "Bohemian Soul | Une Nuit Nomade" is a fragrance of the composed type. But that doesn't make it boring either.
The spice is particularly dominant. There is also a very subtle freshness. You can even detect a few smoky and resinous accents. In general, the fragrance does not really have any progression. However, the iris adds a little powdery sweetness in between. After that, there is not much new, if anything at all.
I see the fragrance mainly in spring and fall. In summer, perhaps on a rather cool evening. In my opinion, however, it almost completely lacks the necessary power for winter. It is well suited for men as a leisure fragrance.
However, the longevity and sillage are a real drawback. After about 4 hours, I hardly notice it, if at all. As a result, I no longer find its price-performance ratio so good.
Nevertheless, it's a well-rounded product. In any case, I can well imagine that some people really like this fragrance. Maybe just give it a try.

Definitely overhyped!
First of all: The "Eros (Eau de Toilette) | Versace" doesn't necessarily do anything wrong, but it's not really exciting either.
It starts with a banal freshness, but also has fruity accents from the apple and a little mint, but then gradually becomes much sweeter in the form of tonka bean and vanilla. However, it is also a little synthetic throughout, in my opinion.
The fragrance goes particularly well in the summer, ideally with a young man in a club or someone who is simply out and about. It also certainly appeals to an audience that is rather inexperienced with the world of perfume. Of course, this also makes it appealing and versatile on a certain level. Unfortunately, however, it is not really outstanding.
Lasting power and sillage are absolutely average for me. But it is quite affordable. One more reason why it continues to be advertised on TikTok and similar platforms for exactly the right target group.
Long story short: it's not really cool, but it's certainly a good introduction to the world of fragrances.

Unfortunately rather boring
The "Acqua di Giò Profondo (2020) (Eau de Parfum) | Giorgio Armani" is obviously inspired by the "Acqua di Giò pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) | Giorgio Armani".
But it is also a little more shower gel-like. It starts aquatic and citrusy. Then the shower gel note comes in quite soon. It is also a little synthetic, unlike most of the others in the Acqua di Giò range. In between, you can detect a little spice. It ends with musk rather than amber. The "Acqua di Giò pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) | Giorgio Armani" does better what the "Acqua di Giò Profondo (2020) (Eau de Parfum) | Giorgio Armani" wants and the "Acqua di Giò Profumo (Parfum) | Giorgio Armani" has more adult depth, although it too is mainly a fresh and aquatic fragrance.
The "Acqua di Giò Profondo (2020) (Eau de Parfum) | Giorgio Armani" is more masculine and naturally intended for spring, but especially for summer. It is best worn in everyday life or during leisure time. In other situations, however, it would not offend either.
Its longevity and sillage are fine, no more and no less. Its price-performance ratio is also totally average.
I find the "Acqua di Giò Profondo (2020) (Eau de Parfum) | Giorgio Armani" rather dispensable, but if you're already trying the "Acqua di Giò pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) | Giorgio Armani" or the "Acqua di Giò Profumo (Parfum) | Giorgio Armani", you might as well try them all.

The tamer Ombre Nomad
The "London | Widian / AJ Arabia" is definitely something special when you come into contact with such a fragrance for the first time.
Its opening also begins with oud, but also with pleasantly sweet raspberry. The violet is probably also involved in the sweetness. Right at the beginning, it is really similar to "Ombre Nomade | Louis Vuitton", but it is rounder, has less edge, is simply softer. Later on, it also becomes a little leathery, as a kind of support for the oud. Incidentally, it smells more like leather than actual oud throughout the fragrance. It also becomes subtly vanilla-like in the drydown. The fragrance progression is really interesting.
As a result, I find that this fragrance is much less clearly masculine than the "Ombre Nomade | Louis Vuitton", as the fruits are much more perceptible and the "London | Widian / AJ Arabia" is also really sweet overall as a fragrance composition. This sweetness, on the other hand, is completely absent from "Ombre Nomade | Louis Vuitton". However, it can be used just as well in fall and winter, certainly for going out or perhaps for a date, but especially in the evening.
Longevity and sillage are really very good. There are only a few fragrances in this class. The price-performance ratio is absolutely fine for what you get here.
If the "Ombre Nomade | Louis Vuitton" is too much for you, but you also like something about it, you could try a perfume like the "London | Widian / AJ Arabia". But you should still test it first.

The Acqua di Giò?
The original, the "Acqua di Giò pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) | Giorgio Armani" is an iconic fragrance, somewhat similar in type to a "CK One (Eau de Toilette) | Calvin Klein", only more aquatic.
The "Acqua di Giò pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) | Giorgio Armani" is primarily a fresh aquatic with a lot of supporting citrus. You hardly notice anything of what is listed here in the top and base notes. I can't really understand fruit at all. However, you can sniff out a few flowers from time to time. But it doesn't last long. Above all, if you compare it with "Acqua di Giò Profumo (Parfum) | Giorgio Armani", for example, it is not a bit spicy, but instead citrusy and is therefore the fresh, aquatic citrus fragrance for the summer par excellence. You really can't do too much wrong with it.
It is perhaps a little masculine due to this typical masculine summer DNA. But I actually find it very unisex. It actually works for any occasion and any time of day, especially in warm spring, summer and Indian summer.
Longevity and sillage are now more of a weak point. It is rather below average. Fortunately, it's not so bad that you can't smell anything after 3-4 hours. There is still a little bit left...
The price-performance ratio is average and therefore perfectly fine.
Just as safe and timeless as the "CK One (Eau de Toilette) | Calvin Klein", the "Acqua di Giò pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) | Giorgio Armani" is definitely worth a try.
