He put together his first collection in the 1970s and shortly afterwards introduced a range of cosmetics, makeup and perfumes with the Armani name. The composition celebrates the fusion of water and wood; the new chapter of Acqua di Gio shares the expression of a man's connection with nature, and the liberation of his inner strength and freedom.

Armani Acqua di Giò aftershave and Armani Si perfume for women are timeless classics which have been indelibly written into history and still feature at the top of the charts because of their popularity.After a few wearings, my nose was able to pick out the lemon and bergamot citrusy and aqua freshness, along with the amber and ebony🪵 notes. The opening is somewhat unremarkable, but the drydown adds some wood notes that help balance it out and make this an overall pleasant fragrance. After 10 mins or so it starts to become woodier, the ebony wood gives a darker woody feeling and it also has this slightly, slightly smoky kind of hint to it. The performance on this is pretty good - about 6-8 hours and slightly above average projection in the first 2 hours, then closer to the skin. What Absolu did was understandable, Armani needed its take on the Invictus Aqua genre as it's became very profitable and even though I'm not a fan of AdG Absolu (it's a little too sweet for those hot summer days) I understand the business decision behind it and I can see why so many people liked it however trendy it is.

It does remind me of Invictus, but the sweetness is very much toned down, making this the fragrance with the largest audience within this genre of fragrance. I personally prefer Profumo and Essenza more than this, but they don't get the same level of attention. The scent was created by the perfumer Alberto Morillas in 2018 as a declaration celebrating the relationship between man and nature. As an NHS business we work tirelessly to provide support to our local community with a particular focus on those most vulnerable and in need.The salty sea note lasts for a few hours, but pulls back after 15-30 minutes to balance out with everything well. Yeah, I’m with a couple of reviewers, seriously not sure why this gets a lot of hate, and I don’t think this is anywhere close to generic. The new version of the iconic Acqua di Gio edition, an Absolu variation, is presented in 2018 as a marine-woody interpretation in which fruits, marine notes and a wooden base create harmony in a new, expressive way.

Starts off sweet and fruity then becomes more like profondo but with a fruit twist which is the best part of the fragrance and then after a while is just pure ambroxan.I’ve smelled its spiciness before, perhaps in Hanae Mori’s HiM, or some other cinnamon influenced, safely resinous and warm designer scent. The bottle and cap are very attractive, though the cap is not magnetic like some other AdG flankers.

I'd not wear this to the office (or the gym - too sweet) but would absolutely wear this one running errands, etc. Absolu smells the most unique and different so idk where you think generic is when you own very npc flankers. Heck, my step brother wore the EDT religiously and yeah I got a bottle back then to stick with the crowd.In comparison with the original version, it is characterised by a combination of forceful wood and light aquatic notes. I don't get people saying it is overly sweet since I have actually had the experience of smelling fragrances much sweeter than this so this isn't anything overly sweet.
