Eau de Giorgio

Lirae100, I'm totally with you! Eau de Giorgio has all the best of Giorgio, leaving all the suffocating/bitter/animalic/aldehydic stuff behind/ Only the sun, white flowers and pure joy of life remain! Like the summer wind on a sunny day in a garden full of blooming jasmine, linden trees, black locust, gardenias, tuberose, orange trees - it must be a botanical garden, as normally these things don't bloom at the same time or in the same place - but that's just what it is!:))) This will be my June perfume next year I think!:)

I think this is a 2010's version of the oiginal which can seem " too much" for nowadays noses , the teeny/sweety/girly scents are the most popular right now and people lost the habit of smelling perfumes that really do smell like perfume , not like food, candy or something vaguely flowery . Not as brillant as the original , but still quite close , it can be a gentle introduction to more daring perfumes for a younger audience or for " perfumy shy" people .

The perfect summer alternative to its big sister. Lots of white flowers discretely and subtly combined together, with the similar note of iris that I can smell in Shalimar Parfum Initial, L'Eau. Now you can wear Giorgio Yellow all year long and spray as much as you can. Come on Fragranticans, let's make the world yellow!

A short review from an individual, who has never tried the original Giorgio: powdery in a very strange, somehow aquatic way. I think that it is tuberose, which gives the perfume its character and longevity. Staying power is very great - I still smell it after my clothes are washed and hanged to dry.

Happy Mother's Day! Does anyone know where this is being sold? Thanks!

Although a lot of people compare this to the original Giorgio, I feel that the notes are more similar to what I really loved about Ysatis, minus the harsh notes at the beginning of Ysatis. This is setting up very nicely on my skin, so far -- will see how this one wears! I'm always amazed at people's descriptions of fragrances. A few stated that this was like toilet bowl cleaner... NO -- I'm NOT getting that, at all. This is fresh, clean, and slightly green -- but not registering any where near a cleansing product on my skin. ------- I bought this based on the reviews - and I'm very glad that I did. Sandalwood (I have found that I have quite a THING for sandalwood, it appears as a base ingredient in quite a few of my very favorite fragrances. Here were the phrases that won me over - "Sunshine in a bottle!" -- We are at a phase in American history where a good dose of optimism is a great thing! "I recommend to anyone who wants to smell like sunshine and happiness :)" -- This is definitely something that we need more of... Sunshine AND Happiness! Both are really GREAT Things! ---------- The 1980's was impossible to live through without having people that you knew wearing the original Giorgio. I often admired the fragrance notes of the original Giorgio, but had tried it and found that it was a shade or two too bold for me... slightly loud for me and in the soprano type range where I may admire a fragrance, but do not personally gravitate to it for major purchases. During the era of Giorgio, I chose to wear fragrances that had a bit more depth to them - like Bijan, K de Krizia, and when Beautiful arrived on the scene, that became my signature fragrance. Shortly after this, I found the fragrance Ysatis, which I got a lot of compliments on - but there were a few notes that Ysatis opens with, which I would endure - to get to the nicer part of the fragrance which I truly loved. Eau de Giorgio opens with the very notes of Ysatis that I truly loved. Gone are the harsh, more chemical type notes which I objected to in the first blast of Ysatis. Eau de Giorgio is lovely on, very nice. It blends well with my chemistry - It is a slight twist on the original formula of Giorgio. Not quite as sharp and loud, a bit more grounded and wears a little closer to the skin -- almost as if they took the edge off and calmed it down into a more tame and refined perfume. LOL... the perfume version of "Taming of the Shrew"! I'm seeing how this wears. So far, so good. I'm very glad that I did my research and found something similar to Giorgio, but with some new changes and refinements. I like this a bit better than the original Giorgio. Although a lot of people compare this to the original Giorgio, I feel that the notes are more similar to what I really loved about Ysatis after the initial spray, about an hour or so into the fragrance dry down. Very nice, so far! -------------- Update: On a whim, I decided to try Eau de Giorgio on one arm and Beautiful by Estee Lauder on the other arm. Amazingly, these two are sisters... very similar to one another. Eau De Giorgio has a little bit more "Private Collection" - ozonic composition to it...it is slightly sharper; a bit greener; more grassy-spring fresh floral with slightly more of a tuberose lift to its composition. Beautiful by EL is a little more subtle, polished, refined -- and Eau du Giorgio is more fun and flamboyant. The two could be worn as a "signature" - where people would barely be able to distinguish the two from each other... but both would set a new mood and tone where you could interchange them and still have a strong "signature" that would be easily identifiable.

This is a slightly calmed down version of the original, but still a heavy hitter for what the market puts out in this day and age. Its a strong sweetened white floral with a hint of sandalwood. The original Giorgio that is produced today is Sweeter and drier in comparison. The fruits add sweetness, the oakmoss and chamomile make it dry (like a dry white wine) the orchid, musk and rose lend a powdery nuance. But you take all that away and Eau De Giorgio is still powerful stuff! If you want to compare you'll have to spray and sniff the Eau first. I cant speak to how Giorgio has changed over the years, I've smelled enough Primo and Giorgio growning up in the 80's and 90's to say if its a toned down version its probably a good thing for todays standard and it smells close enough to me! No one smokes anymore, but I can imagine when everyone did this was probably a good fragrance to cut through it. I recommend to anyone who wants to smell like sunshine and happiness :)

I must write another review because my fiance had quite a different perception of Eau de Giorgio than me... When i wore it out with him, he was fascinated with this scent, saying it reminded him of 'lying in a bed with freshly washed sheets in a warm sunlit bedroom' and that it was 'very feminine and elegant but young, soft and lovely' . It put him in a poetic and romantic mood, haha. He even asked the name of the fragrance and offered to buy another bottle, but i don't need it. Needless to say, he loved the scent and he usually likes heavier, dirtier, mature scents like Chanel, Shalimar and Boudoir. It's hard to believe that original Giorgio was a 'powerhouse' perfume, never smelled it but i would like to just for the sake of curiosity. I still don't love this soft white floral scent (but i do like it enough) but my fiance sure is inlove with this feminine sunny concoction.

I never heard of this brand before, so i had no prejudices prior trying this fragrance. The scent is a bit hard to describe but it's a distinct, enigmatic, plush floral yet it still manages to smell light/non intrusive. It might be a weird description but it reminds of baby version of L'air du Temps . Babyish in terms of softness, lightness and innocence it evokes, cheerful like childhood yet classy. It also reminds me of something almost slightly pharmaceutical. Long lasting. EDIT: the initial smell is somewhat pungent and misleading but after 5-10 minutes the fragrance beautifies into something soft - innocent and very silky white flowers. I like it quite a bit.

Eau de Giorgio. Don't expect a weakling. This is still a strong fragrance that packs a punch and puts some of my other fragrances to shame...EdG is no shy flower and if someone would have told me that this is the original Giorgio I would have believed it. At first whiff this smells exactly like the original. I would have to test them side by side to detect the difference. I have to see how it unfolds for me. I love Giorgio but I get a terrible headache when I wear it, so I ended up giving my bottle away. I hope I can cope better with EdG because I really love this scent. So uplifting and lively...

Eau de Giorgio is a sheered out, updated version of the original. Not quite as atomic in terms of sillage, but that's not saying much. It's still very much Giorgio and wearing this in public transport during rush hour might either a) make people glare at you with an expression that's somewhere between neutral and hostile or b) make PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT! (limiiiiiiit) WALK ALONG THE RAZOR'S EDGE blast in their ears, with the accompanying imagery from Scarface, because this is such an early 80's throwback it hurts.

I really hate Giorgio by Giorgio Beverly Hills and I'm really in love with Eau de Giorgio. Is that even possible? Anyway, the reason for this is probably that Eau de is less powerful and it doesn't give me headache. To me is a definition of spring, especially as all you get when you sprayed are the flowers. Beautiful white flowers. I really like it as it's suitable for the upcoming spring days. I just I don't mistake this frag with Giorgio by Giorgio as I can't stand it.

They did the same to Gioargio as they did to the original Oscar (releasing Esprit d ́Oscar) - added sweet powder. This Giorgio still is the clean smell of a cool bedroom in summer day with nice smelling beddings washed in "white flowers" softener and scented laundry starch. I prefer the old G (and Oscar).

I wore this in the mid 80's and I loved it! It was a very sweet floral that had great longevity. I tried it in later years and find it a bit too sweet for my taste as I now like more heavy fragrances. This used to be quite strong...maybe there was a reformulation.

The go to scent for warm weather if you hate sweet/fruit/vanilla! clean, uber-fresh pure sunshine :)

1990s in a bottle... :-) Longevity: very long lasting, which is great

Not bad at all! Clean, soapy, dry(sunny) and uplifting.

The first spray of Eau de Giorgio was close enough to Giorgio to propel me back to the early 80's. I have never owned the original Giorgio but I've certainly smelt it. The opening of EdG is sharp and biting, there's even a flash of green as from cut stems. This stage is not really for me, but after 10 minutes it progresses through that heady stage to a softer but still bright floral. My favourite stage of this perfume is the dry down. Unfortunately EdG is not sweet enough on my skin. I've found it's more to my taste when layered with other sweeter florals - it's particularly good with Versace Femme.

My mother wore Giorgio well, back in the day. This "eau" version didn't work on me at all. Seemed more like toilet bowl cleaner, chemical and unpleasant as a perfume.

Sure, this is very loyal to the original Giorgio but I don't find it nicer in any ways. I'm not lucky enough to know the vintage Giorgio but even it's newest formula is more rich, deep and less synthetic smelling than the Eau version and I don't find today's Giorgio unbearably strong and heady either, however, Eau de Giorgio is definetely week and doesn't last on my skin (that tends to be very oily and holds fragrances very well in general). Of course, these two fragrances are very close sisters and I can imagine wearing original Giorgio whole year maybe except hot weather when eau de giorgio may be a good choise, otherwise I definetely prefer Giorgio.

Just bought this at Shoppers for $20 for the 90ml EdT. I can't believe this is an updated version. I've never smelled the original, but this perfume definitely has that 80's hugeness right out of the bottle. I love it already. Smooth, thick and lush floral bouquet. Update 11/19/2018: Gave the bottle away. This didn't have the best longevity, plus I'd rather try the real Giorgio from the 80's.

My grandmother always wore this scent. I hadn't known what the fragrance was that she always wore until I stumbled upon it randomly, she passed years ago and it brought tears to my eyes to experience it again. It's beautiful, and now looking at the profile, it doesn't surprise me that I love scents with a lot of the same notes. I wear it for special occasions, or when I think of her.

An ever so "slightly" updated version of the original Giorgio Beverly Hills. To my nose it is almost identical in composition, but just a tad less enormous. If you are expecting a big difference, look elsewhere, as it is still very true to the classic from the 80's. Overall this is made to be a little more wearable by today's standards and should offend less.

normally I prefer stronger perfumes, but this one I like, too. I use it after shower, and also used to spray a bit on my pillow before I go to bed, and it lasts on it couple of days- i was surprised. On my skin doesnt last very long, maybe 3 hours, but it doesnt matter to me, it is very cheap so you dont feel sorry to apply it 3 times a day :)

I think they have made this perfume weaker in its reformulation. It is a sheer shadow of its former glory which is a shame. It is still wearable, but it is now more powdery than the stronger and gorgeous gardenia smell.

It smelled like toilet air refresher, I think that by eliminating some of the notes in Giorgio, the balance that makes Giorgio so nice and special was ruined and vanilla became the dominant note.

I smelled it again after finding it in a box with perfumes I dont use, sorry in my opinion it smells like the yellow vanilla-smelling Wunderbaum car deodorant.

A mi pais llego a fin de los 80S y se popularizo a principio de los 90s. Sin igual, glorioso, vital, originalmente grandioso...

sunny tuberose for the brave!Very sweet ,sunny beachy with character.Iam hooked
