Giorgio Aire

It was a total blind buy, and at a 13 euro rate, plus the fact it`s called `Aire` predicting a light summer frag I just jumped at it - worst case scenario is it`ll become a room spray..BUT iT`S NICE! I fell for it right after the first spritz. It`s jasmine-tuberose-lily of the valley combo hit the right spot and I`m just loving it now, despite of the green notes, which I`m usually not a fan of. I can also detect a certain sweetness in the background - probably the peach - which kicks off but fades later almost completely. Nothing complicated, no trying hard, flight, yet not citrusy or cologne-like, even though it does have a 90`s feel about it - I guess that could be because it`s somehow reminiscent of the original GBH. On my chart it scores 8/10, only because the sillage is not great - a couple of hours after spraying generously I could barely detect anything at all..But again, it could perform better in warm climate.

I was looking for a budget fragrance for summer and I believe I have found it. I can't say enough good things about this fragrance. This may be a reformulation or re-launch, and I never had the good fortune to smell the original in its day, but I have to say this is the lightest of floral, yet so lovely and gently sweet. There is nothing plastic at all in the fruits. just all very natural. In some perfumes with fruit notes, I get a plastic like- hairspray note, but not in this. The tuberose doesn't shout either, it whispers right along with the jasmine. Reviews were spot on. Love this fragrance. Light & airy and just perfect for hot Florida weather.

I almost cried when this lovely perfume was discontinued. I wore Giorgio Aire many summers & everyone I was around always asked what I was wearing & told me how beautiful it was in the air. To me it will always remind me of tanned skin, saltwater, blue, sand, wind, sky, kids, pets, walks, love, music, laughter, fantastic food/drink, parties, games & home on the beach. The bottle I have is from about 1997 & has gone off sadly. I can still smell it though & the memories are there. A forever summer scent for me. 🩵Beautiful! *Giorgio Beverly Hills Blue* is nothing like Giorgio Aire...it's not a re-release of "Aire"... it's not the same perfume.

Because this scent is no longer in production, be careful when buying. Look for a very greenish-blue, clear color, with no hint of amber. Even the ones that have been stored properly have begun to break down, and if they've been opened? Forget it. They'll be spoiled, smelling like alcohol or worse, fermented. Those who've never tried it fresh, back in the day, have no clue how wonderfully fresh, light, and clean it's supposed to be!

This was one of my mom's favorite fragrances back in 1996. She also loved the Ocean Dreams scent as well. She eventually gave me both bottles but we shared them and both really loved these two scents back in the summer of 1996. I wish that fragrances today were more like they used to be like in the mid 90's because I really miss the aldehydic vibe that these had.
