Acqua di Gio Profumo by Giorgio Armani FRAGRANCE REVIEW

[@HurricaneTBag]

One of the very best fragrances ever created. Truly without a single flaw. Such an incredible fragrance. I got a 5 Oz bottle. I love the magnetic cap. Masterpiece of masterpieces. I can’t think of another mass appealing fragrance that’s been as successful that the community hasn’t soured on, no one has a bad thing to say. It’s great.

[@Flamma777]

It’s good but don’t really like the dry down

[@josephphotography4127]

Not anymore

[@blakeeden3917]

I absolutely love Profumo! Hands down the best ADG in my opinion!

[@TonytheTyga]

10/10 for me. If I could only wear one for the rest of time, it would be this. Nostalgic, diverse, mature, pleasant. This the one. Love the review Ross!

[@FunkyD50]

I’ve had mine since 2016. First time I wore it, I was catching a flight. My niece on the way to the airport raved about it, my gate agent asked about it, my seat mate asked, finally the stewardess asked what was it called! Folks lived it. Date night tonight and I couldn’t decide between Profumo or Prada Lhomme Intense. Chose Prada, but will wear Profumo tomorrow. Absolutely beautiful scent.

The very first fragrance I bought with my own money. Little did I know it became the start of my fragrance collection.

[@michaelduncan4379]

I love ADGP. A contractor came into my job one morning wearing this and I was immediately captivated.

[@berenddevries74]

Thank you for this review. You nailed it in my opinion. Since Profumo came out, it has become one of my most favorite designer scents next to Prada L'homme and D&G Pour Homme. A few months ago I bought Profondo and I enjoy it a lot also, but not as much as Profumo. Profumo is indeed a Swiss army knive amongst the scents.

[@tonatiuhnino3711]

Great review! This is one I wasn’t super crazy about when I first got it, but now am a big fan of it. Like you said it is a true signature scent worthy fragrance

[@Eezyriderr1]

What I like about it is when I use the original Gio in the morning and I find I'm going out that night, it layers perfectly over the original. Lots of notice with this stuff.

I've got 3 bottle of Profumo 2021 batch (75ml with magnetic cap). It performs great for me. 2h strong projection, 8h of 1feet projection. Compliments from colleagues, family, and fiancé.

[@augustuscaesar5997]

I have a 2021 bottle and it has the magnetic cap..! I find that it projects for around an hour, and then fades down into a skin scent, but it lasts 24 hrs as a skin scent....

I just received my bottle of acqua di gio profumo yesterday and have not sprayed it yet. I will say my bottle has the magnetic cap and I purchased from their website. Not sure what the talk is about the cap being different. Now the cap on profondo which I have also..clicks in place. Either way excellent review and amazing scent!!

[@StevenTwoTwo]

The Profumo click cap is terrible. The worst cap in my collection. I can't pick it up by the cap at all, if I tilt it even slightly the bottle falls. You'd think Armani would do a better job with it.

[@winnienguyen4420]

It reminds me of the original when my father wore it back in the 90's. Has been horribly reformulated since. Luckily Profumo was created to take it's place. It's so perfect and gorgeous. Absolutely just the perfect men's elegant masculine masterpiece. Right up there with Aventus and Terre D'Hermes. My husband has a January 2015 bottle that last forever, but has also purchased a more recent bottle that still has great performance.

[@gabeortega1653]

Jeremy fragrance made me buy this masterpiece with how much he boast about it. I absolutely love it! Must buy in every man’s collection. Won’t disappoint. Game changer is what I call it! lol

[@gabeortega1653]

@@OakCliff no I have the magnetic cap

[@Rawrbat]

I’m going to be completely honest here. I’m 41 and have never owned or sprayed Acqua Di Gio on my skin. Not a hate thing, just an “everyone that I knew wore it” type thing and I always tried to be different. That being said Mania was my favorite Armani fragrance. I just got a tester sent to me today for the original Acqua Di Gio and plan to wear it tomorrow. Profumo is something that I will be trying next

[@marky147]

I got a bottle of this middle of last year, and finally broke it out last month. Was super impressed with how good it was, and definitely my favourite that I've smelled in the line. I got my hands on an unopened bottle of Essenza last month, so I'm looking forward to breaking open next time I have a day out, lol.

[@lullemans72]

good on you for getting yourself a bottle. so is yours an old bottle with the magnetic cap, or a new one with the click cap? how was the performance?

[@marky147]

@@lullemans72 I'm glad I did, and have all of the line now bar profondo lights, I think. Haven't tried Absolu or Essenza yet, though. The bottle I have is the old magnetic cap, which I prefer. Performance is really good, which I guess you'd expect for a parfum.

[@pdg61met]

Man lately i have tried to sample fragrances off of ebay and have not gotten what i thought i was getting. Recently tried Burberry Touch for Men from there and literally knew it was not the right fragrance. Smelled like bad women perfume for a 80 year old lady. Wasted so much money on that route i am not going there anymore. I want to try this and probably will just go to Ulta and give it a squirt. Problem is i like to test drive it for a few days not just an afternoon.

[@thatdamnsamsquanch]

I've been trying this bottle since it came out. Was never a huge fan of the original because it seemed to die on me too fast. This one always lingered for hours. I would always spray myself whenever I saw it in a store. Finally bought a bottle tonight. I couldn't take it anymore. I had to own one.

[@uncleiroh7]

I think between Profondo and Profumo, Profumo is the better fragrance but Profondo works better in summer and Profumo is a versatile beast

[@harveytrevino2257]

Now that there's talk of discontinuing this one, I just picked up a bottle. It does still have a magnetic top. Also, the lettering isn't reflective, now it's metallic grey, but the juice is what counts. Granted, I never owned the earlier batches, mine is a 2021 batch, and I get about 7-8 hours. So, I'm happy. I'm glad I waited. I like it, but not love. I own it for historical purposes.

[@6431arshad]

Bro i just got one and while it does have a magnetic cap, the lettering for me is plain white greyish. The scent is very good though, do you think its original? though i bought it from a reputable local store

[@harveytrevino2257]

@@6431arshad yeah, that sounds no different than my bottle. My batch code is from 06/21.. which is awesome, because my birthday is June 21st. I'm waiting until we get some warmer weather before I make my full impression. So far, there's a dewey/mildewy note I'm not overly in love with, but perhaps in the heat, the air around me will blend better and give a better representation of what it should smell like in the warmer situations it was intended for. But so far, overall, I'd easily say 8.5. If it smells as good as I hope it does in the Spring, it'll probably be a 9. Guess we'll see.

[@benn5471]

Unfortunately, Profumo does not seem to last on my skin. I have the old magnetic bottle, so I don't know if it's the batch, the dry weather, or my skin chemistry, but I swear this disappears after two hours even after high heat. The scent has also started to give me a headache recently and I'm not sure why, or what changed for me. At this point, I reach for Profondo or Absolu long before this one. Great thoughts though - always appreciate your vids

Very nice fragrance. I only got a small bottle and I don't really wear it all that much, but when I do I'm like "Yeah... That's good" 👍 One thing I will say though is that (since you speak about the cap) it has the worst cap in my collection. I have the click one and it just doesn't stay in place at all. Plus the bottle doesn't have the reflective bottom, it's just black glass like the rest of the bottle.

[@StevenTwoTwo]

Actually I've just noticed mine has white text on instead of reflective too, and just a sticker on the bottom with the batch code etc. Maybe this is just because it's the small 40ml bottle? It's from a reputable department store here in the UK (John Lewis) so it's definitely genuine.

If you’re still in the market… yes. This is literally the definition of what you’re looking for. It’s just an extremely fresh versatile scent. Can’t beat it. Took me a bit to appreciate it, but I’m glad because my 125 oz is mostly full. This may be my signature. Just fresh.
