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.

Had this for a little while now, and I don't see the problems that I saw people talking about with the performance. On my skin this is honestly eternal. Not loud after hour 2 but it lasts all day off my skin. The smell of it is very professional, and even as a younger guy, this is such a nice change of pace from the typical sweet scents that we all have seen a lot of. I have smelled the older version of this too, and I have to say that the reformulation is very similar, but ever so slightly better to my nose. Overall an amazing office scent. It won't blow you away, but HR won't send you home due to wearing this either. 9/10

It's funny reading all the reviews from angry snobs. These same people complaining about redundancy are also the ones who have never bought a fragrance at retail (which is who the company caters to), just the grey market. It's like the person who disappears when the bill comes during a night out, or who consistently pays the least but is also the one who complains the most about the food and venue. If they were to just review the fragrance from a blank bottle, they would write something completely different instead of complaining. I wish people would just review the fragrance for the scent and performance.

(I accidentally posted this on the Acqua di Gio Profundo Parfum version) It smells very good! Very marine and musky. It doesn't last long and like the guy below me said, it's very calm, very calm. Has a little bit of 90s DNA that Acqua di Giò EDT probably has. (I've never smelled it). It almost smells like Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger...but much better quality...Just like other reviewers, I don't understand why Fragrantica hates this...Fragrantica hates everything, if it's not niche or something like Jazz Club, people are probably going to hate it.

Genuinely the best fragrance i have ever smelt. I got this as my first blue fragrance, and every other one has been disappointing in comparison. The reviews also reflect this; don't let the lesser media attention fool you, it's only because ADG has been around for a long time, and reviewing it doesn't exactly pull in views. It's the best dumb reach aswell, especially for someone like me, who easily gets nausiating effects from perfumes. It's price is also pretty much justified, as you can easily find it discounted.

Fragrance Journal Entry #198 My favorite aquatic fragrance by far! The citrus notes blend seemlessly with the aquatic notes and the mineral notes add a soft metallic feel. This takes the original ADG and just improves it in everyway. A simple fresh and clean aquatic done to perfection! It does seem to fade rather quickly but using this in high heat situations is refreshing as it has a bit of a cooling effect. Easily a top 10 summer scent. Rating: 9.6/10 Blind Buy Safe? YES

This cologne is actually awesome. You know when you're about to hit the beach and you're thinking, "Maybe today's the day I pull some huzz"? I'm telling you, spray this about an hour before you go. Not only will you get huzz, you might even crack one.The only downside is that after about 2–3 hours, it's pretty much gone, so you might wanna spray it again mid crack so your girl doesn't suddenly realize you smell like shit. Absolutely recommend. 10/10.

To all the people saying the performance is mid, I get 7-9 hours and first two hours strong performance and hour 2-5 is a decent scent bubble then dies down for the rest of its lifetime. The scent is a like smelling a more refined and deep take on the original edt. Ratings Scent 10/10 Versatility 9/10 Projection 7/10 Performance 8/10 Overall 9/10 Highly recommend if you want a dumb grab fragrance that smells high quality and brings decent longevity

The citrus and amber blends really well with the mineralic AdG vibe. This is my favorite of the AdG line. The smell is fantastic for me in high heat. Can dress it up or down. However, the longevity is poor. It’s a skin scent in 2 hours for me. I don’t hate the idea of that for a warm weather fragrance, but considering the price, it should perform better. Designers just aren’t very interested in producing long-lasting fragrances at this point.

The scent profile is amazing. Starts od with synthetic chemically smell that gives off nostalgic vibes. Then its clean, citrusy, marine and salty which turns into a masculine concoction of a perfume. But overall performance is very weak. Stays for only an hour or so on skin. Probably 2 hours on clothes. Have to reapply the whole day which makes it not so value for money. Overall 6.5/10 hut it smells nice while it lasts

Most detectable notes for me: Orange, Mineralic/Sea Notes, Ambergris, Rosemary, Cedar and a slight hint of Lavender. Review: One of the few true ‘blue’ fragrances that has really managed to capture the sense of the ocean. It’s a salty, citrus masterpiece from Alberto Morillas, that is an absolute staple in my collection. Seasons: Spring/Summer Use: Everyday and office wear. Perfectly suited to warm days by the coast.

I used only this perfume last summer, and about a third of the bottle is left. A wonderful scent for summer. Whenever I wear this perfume, my girlfriend tells me it's amazing. A safe and comfortable fragrance for summer. It would be great if the longevity and sillage of this scent were a little better. a fragrance that will always be in my collection.

My new favorite from the Acqua di Gio line. Highly recommended as your every day scent or for informal events and meet ups in summer and spring. Also good for work if you work in a public setting or in strict contact with customers because is mass appealing and doesn't bother anyone as it is not projecting too much. Vote 9/10

Honestly, I love this. It’s a clean marine scent, very aquatic and has aromatic nuances. I haven’t smelled the original profondo but it’s hard to imagine that it could be better than this. When you spray on your arm and smell it up close its very aromatic. But once youre less than a foot away, it’s very aquatic. 9/10

I bought this couple months back and it’s been pretty much my summer scent this year. Really nice opening, it’s basically Chrome Extreme but with higher quality oils, you can tell immediately from the first sniff. Performance is above average 6-7 on my skin. Can’t go wrong with any of the ADG line... 8/10

I started with this. After over 30 fragrances I've had, I can say that this is the most beautiful smell fragrance I've ever tried! The longevity and projection aren't the best, but it lasts a good 4-5 hours. Smell 100/10 Longevity 6/10 Price value 9/10
