Acqua di Giò Eau de Parfum Intense

if you want aqcua di gio for spring go with elixir. Also it does last 8 hours on skin you can still smell it if you smell yourself after 8 hours, a long lasting skin scent, but i know in summer this gonna be a banger, this is for a confident man who doesnt wanna call attention to himself on purpose, he just does, you make this fragrance it doesnt make you, this does give you a little confident boost tho, since it smell so nice and manly intense only in name and duration tho, not projection that being said i have very dry skin, other aqcua di gios smell like rotten egg on me after a while or even the parfum in the opening for me, this and the elixir dont do that, these are the easiest blind buys for a beginner from aqcua di gio they smell great and elegant, 8-9 sometimes even 10 hours on skin, but projects for 1 hour max, also dry down might turn sour, salty or that cannabis note everybody is talkin about but thats just the clary sage brought over from the edp, but yeah; it smellls a lil bit like that on some people specially if you sweat, but for me after 8-9 hours it turns amberwoody with a lil bit of that fruityness and just smells like a reminiscent shower smell that refuses to leave your skin

I love AdG Absolu and Invictus in general and this smells very similar to those two. The bubblegum sweetness is definitely there and this brings all the memories of those two back. In the opening this is going to smell like Acqua di Gio, but 15-20 minutes in it starts to smell closer to Rabanne Invictus Acqua/OG Invictus. It's definitely crisp, oceanic and just a slight fruitiness from the apple. Overall, I get major bubblegum vibes throughout life of the scent. This is a mass appealing scent, the sweetness, slight fruitiness and playfulness will appeal to a lot of people. Performance is okay, I get great projection the first hour and longevity is about 6-8 hours, probably closer to 8 in summer.

Ok so here is my review, it has been a while since I have been on Fragrantica: I would NOT know this is an ADG line if I just blindly smelled it but that being said I think this is a very good cologne. It is nothing that is going to set the world on fire but I give it a very solid 8.5/10 and plan to purchase it eventually. I think the best comparison I can give it is that Bond No. 9 HTTP fragrance that was their online exclusive back in 2013. It reminds me of that without the smoke note. I wouldn't recommend just blind buying this, I tested it at Macy's so you can probably smell it there. This is a very safe scent but the quality you expect from ADG makes it a worthy purchase in my opinion.

I didn't smell so many fragrances So for me this was great Its opening is heavy on the apple and a decent amount of pergamot with it to give it a fruity-citrusy watery vibe The dry down brings the woods first while keeping the apple with it Then comes the amber which very much reminds of the amber dry down in ysl edp I still prefer this though Performance wise I still can't judge cuz I had worn it outside in high heat so it evaporated faster than it should . But with that I got more than 5 hours So in normal days it might last longer 8.5 out of 10 for me Might get higher if it grows on me

This stuff is awesome! Just got it in and it’s a slightly sweeter version of the OG ADG edt mixed with the slightest hints of Ysl Y wouldn’t say edp maybe a bit but has some ysl Y characteristics in it. I’ve never smelled Armani ADG absolu so idk if this is the “new” version of that. It’s awesome and so far 7-8 hours in still can smell it but doesn’t push so much.
