Fragrance Review – Acqua Di Gio Pour Homme By Giorgio Armani: Stylish Italian, Desirably You
Acqua di Gio is a resolutely masculine fragrance born from the sea, the sun, the earth, and the breeze of a Mediterranean island.
Acqua Di Gio Pour Homme is an aquatic, woody, musky fragrance. A fragrance of contrasting sensations. Acqua Di Gio opens with a splash of freshness, like a powerful sea breeze that subsides into a very natural harmony of water, flowers & fruit. Energizing, stimulating, it expresses healthy sensuality, an authentic & serene virility. Its complexity, however, suggests a subtle personality full of nuance. The fragrant trail, particularly lasting and memorable, adds a very pure element of mystery, and intangible warmth.
Acqua di Gio Pour Homme is one of those quintessential fragrances for men that has defied classification, and time. A decade after its launch, it remains a firm favourite for men the world over. Its aqua, fresh and masculine scent make it suitable for all occasions, its name gives it a stylish and Mediterranean edge, even its frosted glass bottle with the simple lettering blazing the name ACQUA DI GIO boldly gives it an appeal that few achieve, and most other men’s fragrances fail to capture.
Acqua di Gio cannot be classified or grouped into a particular fragrance category – it is light and fresh, yet woody with musky elements. Such makes its appeal heightened – as a fragrance for men Acqua Di Gio is suitable for a number of occasions. The office, the pub, a night club, a fancy restaurant, lunch with parents – the limits are unbounded.
This aquatic, aromatic fragrance opens with a splash of fresh, calabrian bergamot, neroli and green tangerine. Light, aquatic nuances mix with jasmine petal, crisp rock rose, rosemary, fruity persimmon and warm Indonesian patchouli to create a masculine scent that is both fresh and sensual.
The mood of Acqua Di Gio is natural and authentic. ‘Woody’ and ‘marine freshness’ appear to be contradictory terms by which a fragrance be described – but then Acqua di Gio is no ordinary mens fragrance.
Acqua Di Gio’s appeal and status as a premier mens fragrance are reflected in its price tag – it still consistently sells at more than £30 for 50ml Eau de Toilette. Its price is an indicator of its class – you are paying for a fragrance that carries a real appeal, a status to be desired, a lifestyle choice to be envied. If you come across a bargain on Acqua Di Gio, you are probably not buying the genuine article. Imported bottles of Acqua Di Gio can be found, as can websites selling tester bottles. When it comes to a fragrance with the appeal of Acqua Di Gio – do not accept second best. An imported fragrance is likely to be of weaker concentration – it will not last as long or smell as strong. A tester will come in a different bottle, and is likely to have been used.
