Acqua di Giò Profumo

Acqua di Gio Profumo presents a refined evolution of the classic Acqua di Gio DNA, grounding it in a darker, more mature character through the addition of incense and patchouli. The opening features bright bergamot and sea notes, but quickly transitions into a rich herbal and aromatic heart of rosemary, sage, and geranium, which is rounded out by a smoky incense and earthy patchouli base. The result is a fragrance that feels both fresh and deeply masculine—compelling for formal settings and sophisticated nighttime wear. It holds strong performance, with longevity that extends well beyond many comparable colognes, and its moderate to strong sillage carries noticeable presence. Crucially, it works in a wide range of situations, from office environments to evening events, and is highly praised for its ability to draw compliments. However, its signature earthy and incense-heavy drydown can be polarizing, especially for those sensitive to synthetic or herbal body notes. The fragrance adapts beautifully to warmer seasons and cooler evenings, and while some have reported inconsistent performance from newer batches, many remain confident in its quality and craftsmanship.
