Jorge di Profumo Aqua

I've seen surprisingly few people talk about this version compared to Jorge di Profumo. Acqua di Gio is such an easy to like DNA, and this one replicates it perfectly, it's impossible to distinguish from the original when you smell it on someone else. The performance is nothing crazy, but at least on my skin it lasts a good 5-6 hours, with a surprisingly decent projection in the first hour or so before it exists only within a personal bubble until it becomes a skin scent and fades by the last hour. It's so nice and versatile, perfect for warm weather, an easy grab for work/school, hanging out with friends or maybe something slightly formal, if you're young and use this for dating your smell might remind her of her dad (this is a good thing or a bad thing depending on who you ask). You can get it for so cheap and get so much use out of it that there's no reason not to get it if you like this DNA. I also feel this makes the OG obsolete, unless you like the idea of wearing Armani over Alhambra, otherwise the performance and smell are so similar there's just no point in spending 3 or 4 times more on AdG.

Nose Note #772 It feels like this DNA is easy to copy, it has been around for 25+ years. All the dupes I've smelled, even the cheapest noname brands were really not bad. This one is just the better representation of the best of them. This and Aqua de Classic from Fragrance World are the best. FW is slightly stronger and less linear. This one is practically the same the moment you spray it on and onwards. It feels smoother than FW though, noticeably smoother. But in the air all you can smell is the perfectly familiar AdG DNA. Performance is average of slightly below average. 2 hours of presence (at the very best) and 1 hour of reminiscence is all you can ask for with a freshy really, whether it's a designer or a UAE dupe. It does stay on clothes for long through as a faint scent like you've washed your clothes with a AdG scent conditioner. 8.9/10, overall, it's a perfect substitution

AdG Edt alternative. Smells really close I'll say 85-90%. Really cheap. But it's not that lasting, I think 2-4 hours. Also weaker than the og itself. The og can last decently half a day or so 4-6 hours. Og testers are inexpensive too. There are 200/30l of og available too. But this is too cheap but light weight like a Fraiche de AdG

its a more diluted version of jorge di profumo. i got both and it really does feel like it. i'd buy this only if regular profumo is too strong for you, or you want to layer with something else

Let it macerate for a month and it’ll be perfect. Thought it smelled like cleaner at first but now I adore it
