Hey guys, today I’m going to share my thoughts on Acqua di Giò Profumo from Armani, a flanker of the well-known and best-selling men’s perfume Acqua di Giò. This fragrance brings a unique twist to the line, but I have to warn you – it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. So, buckle up, because this review is likely to stir up some controversy.
Quick Facts:
- Scent Profile: aquatic
- Season: all-seaons
- Longevity: long-lasting
- Occasion: office, leisure time
- Price: $$
Smell:
So, let’s dive into the scent itself. Acqua di Giò Profumo takes the airy, aquatic DNA that Acqua di Giò is famous for and throws in a strong incense note. The result is a unique combo of watery, oceanic notes, some citrus, a bit of spice, and a whole lot of incense. There’s no denying it’s an interesting fragrance, but I’ve got to be honest – I don’t think it’s for everyone.
Here’s the deal: the incense in this fragrance is pretty overpowering, and it gives off a vibe that makes you smell like, well, an old man. I’ve even had girls tell me that Acqua di Giò Profumo smells like their grandpa and that they wouldn’t want to date someone wearing it. Plus, a buddy of mine in his early 30s rocks this scent, but he never gets compliments on it. So, while Acqua di Giò Profumo might be unique and interesting, I can’t recommend it unless you’re ready to embrace your inner old man.
Longevity:
Now, let’s talk longevity. This fragrance actually has fantastic staying power, especially for an aquatic scent, which typically doesn’t last long. The incense definitely helps boost the longevity of Acqua di Giò Profumo, so if you do decide to give it a try, at least you know it’ll stick around.

Final Thoughts:
To wrap it up, I know this review might be a bit controversial, but I wanted to share my genuine thoughts on Acqua di Giò Profumo. It’s not necessarily a bad fragrance, but it’s somewhat polarizing, especially if you’re mostly around a younger audience. If you’re a younger guy, I’d recommend exploring Acqua di Giò Profondo from Armani – it’s more energetic and spirited while still featuring that renowned Acqua di Giò charm.
And a little insider tip: I’ve heard whispers that Armani may be discontinuing Acqua di Giò Profumo in the near future, so if it’s your go-to scent, you might want to grab an extra bottle while you can. Because Profumo isn’t available anymore on Amazon, I provide a link to the new Acqua di Giò Parfum, which is very similar to Profumo.
