Acqua di Giò Profondo Lights

Acqua di Giò Profondo Lights is a refined, green-tinged aquatic fragrance that offers a more natural and sophisticated evolution of the original Profondo. It opens with bright, aromatic cardamom and green mandarin, giving a crisp, slightly spicy lift that quickly evolves into a complex, woody-green heart. Notes of balsam fir, cypress, mastic, and rosemary create a deeply aromatic and earthy middle layer, evoking a forest near the sea. The dry down features a subtle blend of vetiver, cedar, and patchouli, lending depth and a slightly sensual, mature quality. While less projecting and shorter-lasting than the original Profondo, it performs well for early summer and has a significant presence in warm weather. Its sillage is moderate and its longevity moderate-to-long on most skins, making it ideal for daywear, summer outings, and office settings. The scent stands apart from typical blue aquatic fragrances due to its green and woody complexity, feeling more grounded and natural than the original Profondo or other flankers. It is not a bold or long-extending scent, but one that works reliably as a fresh, versatile, and quietly stylish choice. The bottle and presentation are widely praised as more elegant than other editions. Some note the scent is surprisingly understated, even dismissive of its unique qualities, but among those who engage with it, it consistently receives strong admiration for its differentiation and depth within the Acqua di Giò line.
