Update: I still rate this one second, as of now. I still put it behind Profumo as my favorite from this line, but this definitely has its place. Overall Impressions of Acqua di Gio Profondoĭo I like this fragrance? Yes, a whole lot. More refined and mature than Acqua di Gio, but retains enough of the original vibe. It can be worn by guys of all ages, without issue. You could wear this on a date and it would fit right in. Not a nightclub beast, but great for daytime and casual to semi-formal situations. I think this might be the AdG cologne to go with, if you live in a super hot or humid climate and Profumo becomes too overbearing. More specifically, spring or summer, but this is really made for the warm to hot days. Update: Every time that I’ve tried Profondo, it sticks to this 7-8 hour timeframe. Nothing more, but also nothing less either. 7-8 hours on my skin, is what I seem to get here. Longevity is good, but not insane for an EDP fragrance. I keep catching whiffs of it throughout the day, it’s just not a beast. Meaning, it hangs around but doesn’t have an enveloping thickness about it. Fresh and a deep blue finish, that does feel different enough from the other Acqua di Gio scents. I think that it’s just the way that the remaining lavender is interacting with the other ingredients, though. There isn’t a tonka bean note listed, but there kind of seems like there is one lurking in here. Woody with nuanced notes peaking in at different times during the wear. The latter stages of the fragrance are extremely well blended. I guess, the impression of water, rather than a full on oceanic note.Īrmani wanted this to have a deeper sea vibe and they accomplished it. Less salty and more of a Light Blue aquatic type of marine accord. I get that mineral note that is so prevalent in Profumo and also a smooth, almost creamy smell coming through. I will say, that as it dries down it becomes more of a true blue sort of aroma. This must be the lentisk note, as described on Wikipedia: “The plant is evergreen, from 1 to 5 m high, with a strong smell of resin, growing in dry and rocky areas in Mediterranean Europe.” What is here, underneath the similar DNA is a sweetness and woody resin. Very marine without the incense of Profumo and less of the rosemary of the original. It kicks things off with the usual citrus notes being present, more of the bergamot versus the mandarin orange. With more woodiness and depth than the original Acqua di Gio. Upon initially spraying Profondo on my skin, I got a blue-green impression. Exuding a masculine character of depth and intensity, notes of woody patchouli and enveloping musk finally fuse with the saline accent of a mineral ambery accord at the base. As the bubbles of oxygen rise to the top, the rosemary, lavender, cypress and lentisk absolute blend at its heart. Notes include: mandarin, bergamot, lavender, marine notes, rosemary, cypress, lentisk, patchouli, muskĬlick here to try: GIORGIO ARMANI Acqua Di Gio Profondo for Men Eau De Parfum Spray 4.2 Ounces, blueīefore getting into my personal review, let’s see how Armani describes it: Like taking a plunge into the deep blue sea, senses are awakened by green mandarin and bergamot while an ultramarine, nearly icy hue is conveyed by Acqua di Giò’s iconic marine notes. What does Acqua di Gio Profondo Smell Like?
