Even though it was created in 2015, it still managed to find its way to our list of best spring fragrances for men in 2023 and it proudly holds that spot! My skin reacts amazingly to it, it always opens beautifully, and I get 8 hours of longevity without any problems – depending on the temperature, sometimes even 9+ hours. Even though I updated this article at the beginning of April 2023 with accurate information that Acqua Di Gio Profumo wasn’t discontinued, only a month later Giorgio Armani pulled this fragrance out from sale.

Overall it’s a classic men’s fragrance but very well done in terms of the combination of essential oils and aroma chemicals.

Notes are beautiful and very well blended – Alberto Morillas is known for making killer combinations when it comes to fresh fragrances. Just bear in mind that with extra sprays you won’t increase its performance – you will just waste the fragrance.

One of the first flankers of original Acqua di Gio and also one of the most successful ones was Acqua Di Gio Profumo – released in 2015, created by the same master perfumer who made original Acqua Di Gio, but also the king of fresh fragrances – Alberto Morillas. Overall this is a very stable scent, not changing at all during the drydown, but still not linear. Giorgio Armani is famous for making super stable fragrances and Profumo is nothing other than that. Saying that the best time to wear Acqua Di Gio Profumo is definitely during spring and summer days. It can be your day fragrance, but it can also fit amazingly as a nighttime scent. On average, Acqua Di Gio Profumo projects for the first 3-4 hours after the initial spray, and the projection distance is 4-6 feet.Acqua Di Gio Profumo smells like aromatic, fresh, and very masculine scent often reminding of Mediterranean beaches, saltwater, and a classy attitude. It definitely has original Acqua Di Gio DNA, you can clearly smell it and it’s like they a bit of heaviness to it. Acqua di Giò by Armani as an eau de parfum version was born in 2015, following in the footsteps of the already well-known eau de toilette. A decidedly masculine, vaguely oriental fragrance, it combines essences reminiscent of the scent of the sea with deeply earthy, woody notes perfect for the elegant, charming man. The top notes are aquamarine and bergamot which give freshness, the heart is composed of spicy notes of rosemary and sage joined by geranium. The long lasting base notes are the oriental aromas of patchouli and incense. Giorgio Armani men's fragrance: price and bottle

The only reason I can think of is to promote the new Acqua Di Gio Eau De Parfum, but still, to me, that doesn’t make any sense as Profumo was still very popular, very different from others, and still had pretty good sales numbers. As I’ve mentioned above, Acqua Di Gio Profumo is so versatile men’s fragrance that it could almost be a year-round fragrance. However, aquatic marine notes just don’t fit into wintertime. Acqua Di Gio Profumo was definitely a masterpiece in its own way, and even though it’s a flanker of the original fragrance, it certainly has a signature scent that many people love Performance is just amazing for a fresh fragrance and it’s so stable that I have no doubt that it will last and project for hours on your skin too. To me, it’s way better than the original Acqua Di Gio. I honestly feel that if Profumo was to come out in 1996, it would have the same success as ADG.I wouldn’t recommend wearing Acqua Di Gio Profumo during winter, because cold temperatures won’t allow it to open properly and therefore it won’t be able to perform as it should. Patchouli is usually used as a note to give earthiness and masculinity and that’s exactly its role in Acqua Di Gio Profumo. The fresh, aquatic, and marine scent will make your days lighter and easier while patchouli and incense notes will give you masculinity and a classy feeling during nights out. In this blog post, we’re going to review Acqua Di Gio Profumo fully and I hope this post will help you figure out if is this the scent you want in your collection!
