Sky di Gioia

There really is nothing like Sky di Gioia. Now, I know there’s a multitude of scents like it but I haven’t been able to find anything exact. I spray this on and instantly get the litchi, peony, and rose. As it settles, I start getting the sparkling pear and the sweetness from the blackberry. At this stage, there’s still nothing particularly special about it but it manages to be one of those generically nice perfumes that you spray and forget about. It’s not until a hour into the wear time that the performance makes it memorable for me. I don’t even know how to appropriately describe the sensation other than this juicy, fruity, floral, clean bubble that wafts from my skin to stand testament to the fact that it’s still there to compliment the natural movements of your body. It’s absolutely a skin scent, one that falls into that ‘your skin but better’ category. This is my personal favorite type of scent because it never needs to be overpowering in order to convey its beauty. The original intention of this perfume by the creator was to be the sunrise over the sea and the optimistic hope that greets you at the beginning of a new day. I believe this fragrance accomplishes just that. As I understand it, these flankers didn’t do so well because a lot of people viewed them as bland and unoriginal. This probably contributed to them being discontinued. I can’t speak for the rest of the line but Sky is intriguing especially in the dry down. I recently tried Bright Crystal Absolu and it does give the same vibe. Maybe it’s just me wanting precisely what was in Sky but it wasn’t close enough sadly. Longevity is pretty consistent but performance-wise, it’s not comparable. I wish I were able to try Gucci’s Envy Me but it’s been discontinued for so long that I am not going to bother. I will eventually get around to trying Coach’s Poppy Flower (it was a fail) and Jimmy Choo’s L’eau which are purportedly similar but I doubt they will outshine Sky. Currently, I have both bottles of Sky: the baby pink marble cap bottle (pictured up top) and the original domed, fuchsia cap bottle. They both smell and perform pretty similarly so no need to seek out a specific bottle as it will likely boil down to preference and availability. Edit: Enduring Glow by Jennifer Lopez DOES come close to smelling like Sky but with a lot of the dupes I’ve tried, it misses the mark as far as depth goes. It’s the closest “cheapie” you will find on the market today.

I am at the airport right now and just bought a bottle of this at Duty Free. Jesus! What beautiful, otherworldy scent! This one doesn't smell like a woman; it smells like a vision. Like the sky. Like an element. Usually, fragrances for women are associated with a specific female persona: i.e. "confident and enigmatic", "feminine and poignant", "sexy and alluring", "sophisticated and elegant". And when you buy a fragrance like that, you embody that persona. With Sky, you don't have those associations and connotations. You're a natural phenomenon. And a beautiful one, at that! I love the smell of lychee, blackcurrant and pear. Just so happens this one brings together all of my favs! But then it's still warm and strong at the same time, thanks to the wood and musk. Just like the dawn sky: sparkling but bringing a promise of warmth!! I hope nobody else ever buys it; I want this to be mine mine mine!!!!!

If you like pink scents , this is wonderful . What I mean by pink ? Scents that are girly girly in a traditional way . This is like a more mature Babydoll. It has peonies which are sweet ( and peonies most of the time smell green on me, but not here ) , and lychees ( juicy and tropical )and pears . It’s succulent. The combination of fruit and peony at some points almost smells like the wine drenched roses in A.G Ce soir ou Jamais, or Ineke’s Briar Rose. But this is just a hint of impression, it is not like those . Although it is very fruity and quite sweet it doesn’t cross into the Escada territory. A very pleasant scent for young ladies and those who like fruity florals. It’s rather expensive and not discounted anywhere yet , or I would recommend it whole heartedly. By the way, zero Patchouli or vanilla. Lasting power and silage are barely average . The juice is rose colour and pretty .

I bought a 50ml bottle secondhand somewhere in the Spring of 2019. There was already around 5-10ml missing and it was the old bottle: it did not have the gemstone cap yet. I finished my bottle today. Extremely lovely scent. Very fresh, fruity with pink florals being the key players. This scent smells like how the color pink would smell. Not hot neon pink, but a soft pastel pink. Best suited for warmer weather aka Spring and Summer. Longlivity is a solid 6 hours and even with overspraying it still stays a pleasant close to the skin scent. I am sad I finished this bottle, since the scent is discontinued, but I have 300+ bottles left in my collection so its nice to finish up some older bottles :)

I’ll start by saying this is so beautiful, and second I will say that coach poppy flower and DKNY fresh blossom are my signature scents(they both smell nearly identical) so this smells pretty much just like them so it’s special to me. This is office safe, great blind buy, great gift for a woman you know who likes light perfumes that smell fresh-this is it!! Love! I rock these all year because I find since it isn’t tropical fruity or summer specific/winter etc that it can easily be worn year round any time of day since it smells so fresh

There is a vibe from the original Di Gioia fragrance and that makes this smell so interesting. It's soft, airy, lightly sweet. The beginning is rather fruity but the fruits are fading within an hour. After that appears a wonderful smell of pretty soft roses and hints of wood. Feels like standing at the edge of a deep wood, catching sunbeams and taking a deep breath fresh air. Good mood scent all year round. Longevity and sillage could be better, hoping for an Intense version to come.

Sky di Gioio is a beautiful, ethereal fragrance. Very light, and airy. Nothing complex. I get mostly peony. It sits close to the skin and doesn't have great longevity but some perfumes aren't meant to make a huge statement. Some are soft and incredibly feminine. Despite it's lightness, this is a quality fragrance. I love the simplistic design of those bottles, sometimes less is more. A great perfume for spring and summer.

I did not expect much of Sky di Gioia after reading some of the reviews here. But.. I love it. I love uncomplicated, feminine, mood lifting, light office-friendly scents and this is one of them. Very different from Light di Gioia, which I already have. Light is about gardenia, Sky is about rose and litchi. This is beautiful and also a safe gift for someone who loves fruity florals that aren't too sweet and fruity.

I like Armani and Im always curious about the new creations. I bought this one during the summer and used it very often. It ́s already autumn, and now that I picked out the bottle again from my collection, and smelled in it, remembered all the fun part of this summer. Lovely memories and this light, sexy scent helped me to avoce them. I felt it longer on my skin, even during the hot, seaty summer days :)

I'm in love again! <3 =D This is sooo refreshing, Spring time out of the window. Airy.. and this litchi wow, it's not it would add that sickly sweet note but the fresh instead. Okay only a tiny bit sweetened up by the pear-litchi combo ;) Both refreshing and sweet fruits. I'm amazed. Will try it out for longevity and sillage. Peony and Rose lovers, try it out!

I usually really hate the smell of rose but it's quite nice here. The peony helps it a lot as well as the cedar. I did not pick up any fruit. got this as an engagement gift from my now husband and it's my favourite perfume so far (I don't like perfumes very much.) To me it gives a mature scent without smelling like a grandma.

I love this perfume. It’s fresh, light, and sweetly ozonic. I think the inspiration of sunrise over water is just about right. I get juicy blackberry and soft rose. I’ve worn it on smoky days and it made me feel like I was getting a whiff of fresh air. That translucent pink pebble of cap looks like how it smells.

Stumbled upon this at shoppers drug mart, the tester that is lol I would never pay full retail of a brand new perfume, way too expensive lol Anywho. ...this is beautiful. What a gorgeous girly summer scent. It's fresh without being soapy, it's light without being non existant, over all a really good find.

Refreshing! So light and youthful but not in a cheapie way! I love this, very easy to wear, too. Inoffensive. Happy. Delicate. I am all for complex scents and night time mysterious seductress, but I also love a daytime, summer day at the tennis court or hanging out with friends by the pool scent.

I am very sad that this has been discontinued it is one of the most beautiful fragrances and I feel like the closest similar profile I have found is 7 virtues Candied Lychee which is just a little sweeter but still similar enough that it will be my replacement as my favorite.

One of the most beautiful rose fragrances I've ever smelled. Gorgeous scent, bottle, and performance. How this got discontinued is truly beyond me. It's airy, soft, fresh, and juicy in an aquatic way. Would love to get my hands on a bottle of this.

Smelled this on me today as a test. I really like it. It's soft, fresh and feminine. Smells like the color in the bottle - pink. Light and pretty. might have to buy this one day... I like Sun DG as well. Do not like the blue Sky however.

This is one of those great shampoo smelling scents. Yes it isn't that mind blowing with the note selection but its still well done. For me, it's a great dumb reach for a feminine, youthful ,girly scent.

Has the same vibe as blooming bouquet by dior (the old formulation, which I love) but 100 times better because of the pear note, which makes it more juicy and watery, a little bit less floral.

Love love love this fragrance. Its safe for daytime and work. Good quality, sillage and longevity long and moderate. Mainly spring summer, but I would wear it all year.
