Imagine how Ash would react if Drakkar Noir Elixir comes out soon.

It did come out well under another guise Sauvage Elixir 🤨😏

[@lullemans72]

[@2sweet4life96]

Not gonna lie I'd freak out too

[@russkidwell]

I sprayed parfum and profumo one on each arm. The difference isn't much except the opening. People are going to cry either way

[@jingledubz3989]

I love the incense note in Profumo, it’s my favorite part of the fragrance. Sad that it’s toned down here. I’ll check it out but I don’t have high hopes. Great video Ash! 🤘

[@justaddlight]

Appreciate the review Ash. Definitely seems like there are quality control issues with a lot of atomizers these days. I wonder if atomizer manufacturers just cheaped out on the ball-and-spring mechanism recently to keep from raising prices? 🤔 Some of the older refillable bottles from Azzaro and even Zara work perfectly fine.

[@JoeAverage1469]

I got this when it first came out. Similar but different from Profumo. Another great flanker!!

[@waltezwebb1472]

What up ash I see you talk about my favorite fragrance I 2 bottles of each, profondo, Profumo, light and parfume love these frag 👍🔥💯

[@mobilepsycho]

The more you listen and pay attention to all details you realize at the end of the day, in the mainstream, there is not much between them (Profumo vs Parfum) Profumo is legendary. ADG is iconic. Profundo works well in the spring and summer in particular during the day. Profumo can be taken into the autumn and winter (milder days) as well, and during the evenings all across the board.

[@Lucky-hq6tb]

can i use profumo in high heat?

[@derekmahony3227]

I've bought this twice recently it's an amazing scent

[@FrancisFjordCupola]

Got a sample of AdG Parfum. I am not blown away and I didn't expect to be. I love Profondo and especially the aquatic notes in it. Makes it really special. To me it feels like that's been a bit toned down and there's something in there that reminds me of Tom Ford's Costa Azurra. Bit of the driftwood perhaps? Sometimes I'm in the mood for it, but the mood wears off. I don't know, got Loewe's 7 Cobalt ahead of it on my list.

[@techjunkie3916]

The aquatic notes are what drew me to this over 20 years ago. It was just so unique in my cologne journey. And, to find something that is a bit of original, and profundo...it's a winner. Waiting on my bottle as I type this

[@giofrancotrain18essence]

I got the Parfum for only $127 in the Ph. Toned down the smokey inscence and make it more sweeter. That's how i smell it. Super versatile for me.

[@slhines7]

What size bottle for $127? Thanks!

[@johnrutkowski2837]

Just got the profumo love it I might get this one also

[@MarsMacssd]

U Gotta Do A Cartwheel In The Next Intro😆😆😆 Great Content As Usual 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@HorologicRannygazoo]

Parfum is better than EDT and EDP, but I love the heavy incense note in Profumo. Maybe I'm the only one, but I think the Parfum is closer to a simplified Essenza than it is to Profumo. Grabbed my 125ml of Profumo for about $100, glad I did it when I did. At the price of Parfum, I'd just grab another niche fragrance or some clones instead.

[@greatness7822]

ive never smelled profumo but id like to to see which one id prefer

[@raulsaavedra709]

Yes it's not just you, and it's not a new issue just with this new flanker. I got the Profumo about 2 years ago from Notino Germany, and I had to return that 1st bottle requesting a replacement because it came with a leakage. Ring around the atomizer came wet, and even if drying it up it would wet again after any spraying. The replacement fortunately was ok.

[@oBEARDEDo]

Whew. Absolutely love this aqua di gio, was a HUUUUUUGE ADG EDT Fan, And this and Profumo just give me that amazing clean soapy aquatic feel. So refreshing and brings back so many memories. If they ever make a ADG Elixir…. I hope it’s a BEYOND beast mode version of their all time classic EDT

[@andrespi6556]

I was using profumo many years. Now i will prefer Profondo in day time and dior elixir for nights. Maybe dior edp for winter days.

[@biggboi1967]

I’ve had Profumo for many years and after testing the Parfum, I feel Profumo is way better.

[@jordanpaul3701]

Same I won’t buy it I’ve been stock piling Profumo for a couple years now. Got enough too last me 10+ years

[@jdmb03]

Agree. I was a little disappointed in Parfum since I like the darker side of Profumo.

[@biggboi1967]

@@jdmb03 once I run out of Profumo I might get Parfum. My wife didn’t like it, but she loves Profumo.

[@gisdaman]

I was so disappointed with Parfum, when it was touted as a replacement for Profumo. Nope. It doesn't smell quite the same, nor is it an upgrade. No excitement. Just felt soulless.

[@Polyfusia]

Parfum is neutered. People who love it never really appreciated Profumo. Profumo is a contrast of freshness and darkness. Parfum has lost most of the darkness and is now just a basic, average freshie. I personally hate Profondo as well so there is nothing left in this line for me. Since they are charging niche prices now I'll just find something niche to replace it.

[@Notsafeforurkids]

I have the edp, and Profondo. And have heard the parfum is stronger, yet similar. So I’ll wait till I run out of these 2 to try parfum out.

[@neil_sol]

i have Acqua di Gio EDP and I love it is this much different?

[@parkinglot4956]

I'm glad I've got several backup bottles of profumo

[@achrafkabbous]

Hey ash, you should DEFINITELY try daring blue, it’s light blue forever clone

[@Brave-828]

Was a big fan of the original Eu De Toilette. Problem is it never lasts. I’ll give this one, marketed as the strongest, a shot

[@youngceo620]

I think parfum is a classic... i got the big bottle and love it so far

[@conorallen100]

Given the current track history of the line do you think we'll see profundo get the axe next or a full discontinuation of absolu given how unpopular that flanker seems to be

[@jnb22019]

Happy I didn't get a leaky bottom when I bought mine 😵

[@zito75fan75]

The adg parfum I got from Dillards has no problems with leaks or glass. Mine is great

[@alpha416game3]

just got this in duty free nice addition for my collection my first aqua

[@Miamimason]

Is this a summer fragrance?

[@lgeiger]

Questionable decision by Armani... Discontinuing the Code line and discontinuing one of the best designer fragrances ever made (Acqua di Gio Profumo)...

[@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121]

Think of the sales if they re-release them. I dunno how old you are, but back in the day, Disney would eventually stop selling VHS/DVDs of a given movie and put it in the, "Disney vault". Eventually when demand went up again they would sell like hotcakes

[@lgeiger]

@@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121 We'll see if they're going to do that.

[@Silvio_TF]

Profumo just got more character. The new Parfum is inbetween Profumo and the OG so for me a bit without character.

[@paw3lo87]

I like the smoky bootle but they could also do magnetic cap and metalic letters like in og profumo for that price..

[@ryanramirez329]

They should have called it parfumo 😅

[@djtruedomination]

Same here!!!

[@renegadebrad7448]

Who wants refillable fragrances? I mean out of curiosity you should put a poll up asking this, I want to use up my bottle and throw it in the bin and get a new bottle

[@abidkhatri2690]

Lucky to get my hands on the big 180ml bottle of profumo😊

[@Chunk1008]

where from?

[@slhines7]

@@Chunk1008 only seen 200ml bottles🥴

[@Scenty_Mental_Health]

I might get this in a few years time as a refill, but I currently have 125ml bottles of both EDP and Profumo so this would be redundant until one of them runs out.

[@ryanzer0170]

The bottle I bought from Macy's, maybe a month or so after release, doesn't leak nor does the atomizer get stuck down.

[@FRD-HDD]

Profumo = Italian character, knows what he's doing. Can fix his car or climb a mountain. Parfum= French Parisian always afraid to break a longer than normal pinky nail. Looks himself in the mirror 20x day.

[@Snugfudge]

I just got ADG Profumo 2016 factory sealed. Was shocked to see the production date.

[@travisn346]

Magnetic cap with metal plate on the bottom.

[@Snugfudge]

@@travisn346 not sure, haven’t opened it yet 😂

[@paw3lo87]

you are so lucky to get that gem

[@ioanniskalafatis]

Tried both....i'd still go for profumo

[@bojax3434]

I had the same leaky bottle issue with my Savauge EDT, which is also refillable. So I think it’s 💯 due to the refillable bottle design.

[@jorgerodrigogomezflores5711]

I have an almost new 180ml bottle of profumo with the magnetic cap that I plan to keep for a long time. I would like a spare bottle too.

[@nijboerlars]

Was able to get myself a 125ml bottle of Profumo for about 100 Euros before they really started going off the market. This new parfum is selling for 160, so if you like the scent and manage to find yourself a cheaper bottle of Profumo, don't hesitate!

[@Jaymarquese]

Same I just bought Profumo for 160 , 6.0 ounce as well, smell the same other than the opening but who cares about 10 minutes lol

[@giofrancotrain18essence]

So expensive😢

[@renegadebrad7448]

I did similar i brought profumo off notino uk website it was slightly cheaper than the new parfum

[@MP-od1zz]

So Ash, are you saying Profumo will be discontinued? Shame, I really love Profumo. My 3rd fragrance I love that will be discontinued

[@sipandsniff1744]

For a parfum concentration this feels way too wet like water when applied. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I do like it ,with a slight ,but…… it was gifted to me and I’m glad that I personally didn’t over pay for it.✅ certainly it’s a very pleasant fragrance that’s over hyped and over priced and I’m proud to have it in my collection.

[@kmw1175]

The small bottle for the OG looks hilarious close to the new one lol

[@slim0121]

I had a nasty leakage issue with a 125ml ADG Profumo bottle (October 2022 batch) I used pliers and carefully applied some pressure going all the way around the collar. The bottle now has some unsightly scuffs around the collar, but it hasn't leaked since.

[@uzunsaclkeladam7824]

Yeah mee too. What a shame for Armani.

[@Brianh-rz4bu]

Imma need a tutorial 🧍🏻‍♂️ Did you apply pressure at the sides of the collar or downwards around the collar?

[@FlyLikeNasa1000]

Maybe it’s cause I never smelled profumo but the parfum I absolutely absolutely ABSOLUTELY LOVE 💪

[@Chris_H0988]

Do you know where I’m able to source the discontinued Profumo? Without going through rogue sellers on eBay and similar sites?

[@EastEndzoneCru]

Mine leaked too. Unscrew it and put teflon tape. Problem fixed.

[@oscarsalinas6417]

I get soo many compliments on my ADG profundo

[@Jbell440]

What's the refillable thing about? You buy another bottle and just fill the old one??

[@matthewcarter1942]

You forgot the patchouli note that is in Parfumo. Parfumo had the ADG dna it it, but added that 1-2 hit combo of incense and patchouli.

[@shadymaestro]

I swear this already came out...is he doing a follow up review to his first impression video?

[@H3lloSE]

Found a profumo in stock 75ml, for 103, tempted!!

[@jairothegod]

Do you know where to find Profumo ? I can’t find it

[@aredd92]

The new ADG atomizers with the non magnetic cap are just terrible. I have yet to get one that didn’t feel broken, squeak, or leak. ADG needs to stop cheaping out and take notes from Dior on atomizers.

[@chanseyhahieng4132]

Ash please review some fragrances from the house of Orto parisi

[@Roy-eu1gq]

If Aqua di gio comes out with an Elixir, it might be profundo...

[@moneyparhar]

I have bought 2 backup 4.2 oz bottles of profumo. Im set

[@PainKillerJane]

Seems redundant no?

We need to protest for a Drakkar parfum elixir!

[@matteoborsa4912]

Can you please wear a tux and do the Jeremy opening spin , that would be so awesome. Kraaaaaaaaft

[@pkj77]

i hope when i can afford it they fixed the leakage if not decanding

[@davetip79]

The CVS near my office has a huge fragrance section. It’s behind the counter so hard to tell what they have but I noticed they had a huge Profumo stock. $89 for 2.5… not a bad price. I was patient and waited for coupons they send on the app weekly. One by one I got 9 bottles ! Didn’t pay more than $45 for any 😂. Yesterday got the last bottle , a candy bar and a bag of chips for $43 bucks !!

[@jts4248]

I think the new parfum is awesome. I also love profumo but I'm fine with the new one. I also think the new one and profumo smell so close alike. I don't understand why people wouldn't like it. Read the notes on both of click on it same notes they just turned down the incense

[@Chico18124]

Does it last though?

[@jts4248]

@Chico18124 Yes it ain't a beast for sure but spray it a few times and let it sit. The longer you let it sit the better it gets. That goes for all of them

Forsure adg always gets better with time. My profondo and even the edt i got a year ago are crazy strong right now.

[@Chico18124]

@@jts4248 so basically let it settle on your skin? Maybe it’s my nose but after two hours I can’t really smell it anymore but I’ll keep trying with it. I love the way it smells and unfortunately I never got a chance to smell profomo since it got discontinued lol.

Bought profumo because of the hype, and it smelled so mature and old.

[@maxsolo97]

Just FYI I have no issues with leakage or sticking atomizer with my bottle. No complaints there from me. Might just be his bottle.

[@davetip79]

Not sure what he meant by saying it won’t be available for much of a discount ?? 4.2 retails for $198 but you can get it at Sabina for $99. That’s pretty close to half off !😊

[@h2woah127]

That’s exactly half off lol

Review Thomas Kosmala Fragrances!

[@mcdonamw]

So I guess I'm a newb scent guy (at 44yo 😂) but I've only ever used ADG EDT for the last 23 years. I always understood the difference between EDT, EDP, P were just the strength/lasting power and I only ever knew of the EDT version of ADG but I've always wanted a stronger version. That lead me to this vid today. I thought "wow a parfum version exists??" Now this vid has me questioning everything. Are these diff ADG versions actually different fragrances entirely?

[@HGblee]

Yeah they are pretty different. Ofcourse there are similarities between them but the smell is not the same at all.

[@ArnulfVonMetz1]

Parfum is the handsome version ❤️💯

[@mirembesamuel449]

Pls review maison alhambras glacier ultra(clone of ultra male)

So you’re saying they toned down the incense then? Nice hand signals by the way 😂

Holding off on Parfum, not in a hurry to get a bottle of it any time soon. Still an interesting release

[@igorelvictor]

I actually find it a bit redundant compared to the Eau de Parfum

[@krzysztofwojtanek511]

Thats a big statement. I love Profumo 🕴️

[@federicoscquizzato8359]

All refillable fragrance bottles will have problems of leaking and most important EVAPORATION; these bottles are not airtight because the atomizer is not crimped on. Imaging spending hundrends on a fragrance that will just evaporates completely in 1/2 years max. It is the same thing as the little samples atomizer that will just let everything evaporate and leave thing completely bone dry. People who have a big collection of both designer and niche NEED to be AWARE of this.

[@duck8997]

Thanks wasn’t aware of this. So there’s no point in returning my slight leaky adg parfum bottle for a new one? They’re all pretty much the same cos they are refillable bottles?

[@federicoscquizzato8359]

Yes all refillable bottle will evaporate from the bottle, it is a shame, the trend need to stop as soon as possible, i hope people will realize this before it’s too late

[@Polyfusia]

Tested the Parfum at Sephora. It is drastically worse than Profumo. It isn't a replacement or even in the same Universe. I'll have to stock up on Profumo. Every reviewer hyping the Parfum is full of it. It's a terrible replacement.

[@tommyboy049]

so I know the guys will like Profumo more. What do the ladies think. Sounds like they will like the new one more.

[@oX313Xo]

Never got to experience profumo in all its glory. I just got back into finding new fragrances and I got me the parfum di gio. I absolutely love it but from reading I get profumo was the exact same just more incense and parfum is toned down. With that in consideration I would love to try profumo, I love the incense notes you get in parfum but if they were strong like I hewr they were in profumo, man. Be the perfect scent. I'm struggling to find a legit full bottle of profumo however and buying online you always run risks. I wish they would bring this back and I wish they made it refillable like the others if they brought it back and made it refillable I would have a permanent office easy everyday scent and they would have a loyal costumer believe me :). If anyone has suggestions where I may be able to get me a bottle that won't cost 200-300 dollars I would appreciate the lead!!

[@javiervelez892]

I’m gonna be honest the only difference is in the opening, the dry down is almost identical, in a blind smell test almost impossible to discern. Save your money guys and just the parfum, let profumo die off and don’t give your money to people benefiting from FOMO anxiety.

[@meekrodriguez6438]

[@minigouda2024]

The Profumo is also a parfum concentration. So nothing really new with the Parfum. Slightly differences (a few notes) in the scent, but for most part, the same. The NEW Parfum is smoother, a little bit better blended. Right now too expensive fot what it is.
