Giò

Gio EdP is such a surprise to me, and I love it. The anonymous bottle has never drawn my attention before. I guess I thought the content would be somewhat watery. However, looking at the notes I understand my adoration as I'm both a lover of white heady flowers (tuberose, gardenia) and florientals in general. But what makes this fragrance so extraordinairy beautiful is the delicious fruit notes in the top. The opening smells somehow like a fruity chypre, also favourite family, but then it transforms itself to a spiced up creamy white floral. The fleating fruits sweetens it though in the most pleasant way and evens out possible sharp edges. The base is smooth and comforting. Strangely it reminds me of Must the Cartier in its composition. Gio's like an odd but beautiful combination of many fragrance families: fruity chypre, white floral, floriental... A strange mix that could go very wrong. But here, and in Must, the result is stunning. I guess I got to have Gio as well, what happend with my ambition to downsize?

This is my absolute favorite scent OF ALL TIME! When I found out it was being discontinued, I was so upset and then lept into action! I purchased an entire case. I am now down to two bottles and can’t image not having it in my collection. It’s an absolute masterpiece and needs to be brought back! Even if only as a limited edition so I can buy up a few dozen more! Haha I wear it sparingly now, and ALWAYS get compliments on it! People are heartbroken when they hear they cannot purchase it. I have tried hundreds of fragrances and nothing will even hold a candle to this gem! 12/15/25- I wanted to add, I purchased Montale Gold flowers. It is also now discontinued 😡. In my opinion, it isn’t a dupe. I’m fortunate to still have Gio and when tried side by side, gold flowers is missing something. However, if you can find it, it may scratch the itch. For me, nothing will do but the original. It’s the one fragrance I just can’t compromise on! I need this to come back!!

I agree and disagree with many here. This is an amazing fragrance that requires so little to bloom into beauty it is actually cost effective. It has a life span that puts most scents to shame. I do not agree that it is related to Eternity. That nasty overwhelming clove scent in Eternity does not hit me with Gio. The clove note is odd because neither Eternity nor Gio contain cloves. With Eternity, I could not get past the clove note. I finally quit wearing Eternity because of that. Gio is a huge mysterious bunch of spicy flowers!!! It has a deep creamy base unlike many florals and is full of resin. It does not bring to mind an English garden. It is far from clean, clear, and crisp. It is dark, delicious, and dense. If possible, get a sample of Gio before you purchase. It is a fragrance that does not work for everyone and is far too expensive to waste. To me, it is a jewel that smells like nothing else. I carefully treasure what remains of my Gio.

My dad gave me a bottle of this once for Christmas. He bought the wrong perfume, the one I wanted was Ácqua di Giò.I was a bit disappointed since I was completely in love with Ácqua but as the perfume addict that I've always been I couldn't resist giving Gió a try. Little did I know... It wasn't love at first sniff and I found it a little bit strong at first, but after an hour or so, it developed into a soft creamy scent that resembled a lot of Ácqua di Gió - only stronger, sweeter and more exquisite. I know and have worn many perfumes and although Gió isn't in my absolute favourites Top 10 list, it's probably the scent that blends best with my skin chemistry, out of all of them. I never received as many compliments with a perfume as I did while wearing Gió. I would have bought a second bottle if I realized it would be discontinued so soon. Armani should bring it back!

Why oh why do they discontinue the greats? Just put new ads out for them, a great is a great and will always be great! You dont just move on and forget about it and not let the next generations in on the greatness... You can release all your lame scents still but stop worrying about fitting in and just make the good stuff. You dont have to be trendy. There's lots of ppl like me that dont follow trends cuz we like quality and appreciate the finer things. Someone has to be a leader and set the standards. A trend is just that and it wont last. In fact its a waste of resources to follow trends. Do what u do best and do it your best and the money and success will follow and your legacy will be great! Stop dishing out garbage just to fit in and "stay competitve," stand on your own two feet and believe in your brand.
