Acqua di Giò Profondo Eau de Parfum (2024)

This fragrance was this summers choice for me, fresh aquatic salty and a tad bit herbaceous! I wore this one to all the family functions this summer and received positive feedback. This one is a no brainer 8 sprays as it does not have the strongest performance but definitely has a moderate 6 hours of performance with the last few hours turning into a skin scent, has such a beautiful and addictive opening words cannot describe. I definitely experimented with the new Acqua Di Gio bottles this year and have found a new favorite line of fragrances. The only strange thing I’ve noticed about this website is all the unfair voting, a lot of users with free time trying to tarnish a lot of new releases. If you pay attention to the Original profondo it has amazing stats and votes, but this new release is literally 92 percent the same and same performance as the original profondo and gets really negative and unfair feedback. I wish people knew how to use this voting database correctly and would stop ruining it for everyone else. Just because a few people probably disliked the new bottles they knock it to the fullest. It’s literally the same profondo just slightly fresher. Maybe we should leave the voting to people who actually know fragrances. If you’re one of the ones who wants to try the new Profondo, go ahead go to your local Macys or Sephora and sample I’m positive you’ll like this gem if you’re into blue aquatic fragrances. Amazing easy reach blue fragrance 🌊

Comparing Acqua di Giò Profondo EDT, EDP, and Parfum (inspired by @smellybutgood 's comment) The EDT is the freshest of the three, with a stronger emphasis on citrus notes. It smells fantastic, but next to the EDP and Parfum, it feels a bit lighter and less complex. In my opinion, this is the best choice if you’re specifically looking for a summer fragrance. The EDP is my favorite of the trio. It maintains a fresh character while adding a subtle sweetness in the background and it has more depth and dimension than the EDT. It feels more well-rounded and interesting overall. Although it could work year-round, I personally prefer wearing it in spring and summer. The Parfum is similar to the EDP but comes across as sweeter and a bit deeper/darker. The freshness is still present, though slightly toned down compared to the other two. I wouldn’t classify it as a sweet fragrance, but it is the sweetest of the three. If the EDP feels like a daytime scent, the Parfum naturally fits better for evening wear. All three are excellent fragrances, so it ultimately comes down to personal preference and what you’re looking for. I chose the EDP because it strikes the perfect balance between freshness and depth, making it the most versatile option. It also offers solid longevity, though I can’t speak confidently about the performance of the other two.

I love this and have been wearing this extensively this summer. This is a modernized take on AdG, with an ambergris base to tackle on the blue fragrances of current year. But this still has the original acqua di gio DNA in spades , but is like the name suggests deeper, not as “watery” and instead more of a rich deep blue marine scent. This honestly has really good longevity. I am surprised to see the comments about poor longevity and I wonder if people are going nose blind to it because this one actually lasts 7+ hours easily and I get wafts of it throughout the day. It lasts for a week on my clothes , so much so that I don’t even spray them anymore if I plan on wearing it one more time. All in all highly recommend if you want something marine but not as simplistic as the OG AdG.

Probably my favorite to this day. I'm a sucker for marine freshies and Profondo just hits the spot. A bit more "sophisticated" and sweeter than the regular ADG (which helps a bit with it's notoriously bad performance) but still very very fresh and pretty salty. Clean, masculine, refreshing. Shame it doesn't last. Projects fine for 1-2 hours, almost faded after 4 hrs and completely gone after 5-6 hrs. 6-7 (no brainrot intended) sprays is needed for outdoor setting AT LEAST. It's basically a perfect freshie if you need to smell nice and clean for a couple of hours but I find it funny how some label it as an office fragrance when it could not last a day in the office even with heavy overspraying lol 9.5/10 for the smell, 5/10 for performance

Frist of all I'm loving it. I'm an over sprayer so I did my thing this morning before work and I think I underestimated this fragrance. You know that feeling you get when you feel like you got a little carried away with the sprays? Well that's me this morning. I'm a walking Aquatic Citrus bomb. This scent is so fresh, loud, sharp and just projects like crazy. I'm only 3hrs in at work and it's still pushing off my skin and clothes hard. It reminds me of taking a juicy orange and lemon peel/rind and squeezing them together on a part of your skin. It's fresh, bright and uplifting. I'll do an update later to see if it lasts my entire 8hr work shift today.
