NEW** Acqua Di Gio EDP! | WATCH Before You Buy!

[@xaviersmith7226]

That guys always clean. Im glad you guys are starting to be honest about how much most of these fragrances smell the same. Thanks bro. Great review as usual

[@sjnscale]

Now that I used it for some time, I can say that the EDP is my favourite in the line: fresh, dense and deeply aromatic with the strong sage note. More mature than Profondo, but I agree you don't need both. More versatile than Profumo. As a fresh fragrance it lasts quite good on my skin, while Profumo (magnetic cap) doesn't perform that much on me, but it is still my #2 in the line. In my opinion this is a great release, and I will use this fragrance quite often. Age: 30+

[@thetattooedguy1413]

I absolutely couldn’t agree more! It’s been my go to for everything. I’m actually thinking about getting another back up bottle. I like it more than the OG, more than Profumo & Profondo - I think it’s a perfect scent

[@Chief-Solarize]

Hey did you get a chance to smell Essenza? I wonder how close EDP is to it?

[@crownedhydef]

I agree with this video more than any other reviews, if we are watching these videos we are not the average joe, Joe. I backed off from buying this due to the longevity and redundancy, appreciate the honesty.

[@dorianphilotheates3769]

I’ve been wearing the original ARMANI ‘eau pour homme’ since its release in 1984. I never liked Acqua di Gio’ (1996) - and I’m not familiar with any of its flankers - but something tells me I might like the new EdP. Thanks for the great and very informative review! 👍

[@frannerp456]

That was my favourite too, still is. Hate that it's discontinued, and there's nothing else out there like the armani eau pour homme. Aqua dg was considered cheap and low quality by comparison at the time.

[@wilijamesme]

I feel you on this review. I only wore it twice. At first, I thought it smelled exactly like Profondo, which was disappointing. Then, it starts to separate itself and does it own thing. I think it’s a good release from the house. However, if you have Profondo and Essenza, this may be a redundant buy.

[@hc8771]

Have profondo, profumo and the edp. I think the EDP fits perfectly in the middle, less salty/sharp and warmer than profondo but not as dark/ earthy as profumo. Most versatile in my opinion, yes slightly less performance than the other two

[@leonidarusso]

I'm very happy after 4 hours i still receive compliments.. it has a very good sillage

[@jaredmatthews9403]

Absolu Instinct is a MUST if anybody reading likes traditional, mossy male fragrances and the ADG line.

[@polofunk]

The Best of the line is Acqua Di Gio Profumo, it last and a Compliment getter, can be worn in any scenario, Profundo smells like hair gel, and a strictly summer fragrance didn't like it.

[@miaminmtl]

Great review and honest. Will agree with other comments, for me, smells NOTHING like Essenza. My fav from the line. Luckily I purchased many back up bottles. Keep up the amazing reviews! Cheers 🍻

[@Chief-Solarize]

Thats interesting how some people can recognize the DNA and some people can't

[@Nicebitoftucka]

I own Profumo, profondo and this... love them all . Prefer the first 2 over the EDP but I think it's solid. Also love the refillable bottles

[@TA-ht4jo]

I love Profumo. Absolu is my favorite. I want to check out profundo lights

[@hworth3]

Definitely appreciate the honesty, not many have stated the obvious so thank you sir. We appreciate that.

[@thetattooedguy1413]

I absolutely love this fragrance! I really didn’t think I would like it as much as I do. It’s been my go to for almost everything ( work, out of the shower, running errands etc ) the newer YSL l’homme EDP is also nice in my opinion

[@polofunk]

Acqua Di Gio Profumo, is still the best over all.

[@eddies8502]

I really appreciate your content! Hey I just picked up Absolu Instinct. Highly recommend it, get it while you can it’s discontinued. It’s really nice.

[@TimHesse]

Profumo and Profundo are better (My profundo was near empty so I nabbed this). Did you like H24? Then you will like this, basically a mixture of H24 (floral, Clary Sage + mineral notes) and the OG ADG; Less sweet and different floral (lavender/geranium instead of narcissi (daffodil). Like H24 very safe, modern, office scent. Day, spring and summer. After 3+ weeks of wear it's a ghost scent on me for my nose but others can smell it. Would have rather picked up another bottle of profundo for the upcoming warmer season for casual wear.

[@TexasAlabamaBoi205]

Acqua Di Gio and the original CURVE will forever be the compliment kings!

[@franksalas5507]

I still own essenza and honestly off my skin it does not smell like it at all , essenza on my skin is extremely metallic and aldyhic where this fragrance right off the back it's profoundo but a little sweeter" my honest opinion if you already own it there's no need for this one

[@jdubs604]

If it smells like Essenza then I’m definately going to get it. I was so bummed out they discontinued it. I’ve gotten so many compliments from girls and they’d literally kept smelling my neck and clothes. No jokes. The drydown just smells so good. I still have half a bottle of Essenza left and will only wear it on date nights. Otherwise I wear Bleu de Chanel which doesn’t get me much compliments but still smells alright. (It was an impulse buy)

[@glennchristinoyosua2109]

You might want to try Issey Miyake l'eau d'issey pour homme.. 🙏

[@smokingbeetles5793]

Wish these houses knew, all we wanted was a denser version of the original ADG.

[@andreroti3195]

Profumo and the new adg edp are the best out of the line imo

[@johncampbell5929]

U don't like profundo and essenza?

[@andreroti3195]

Never tried assenza. Yeah I do like profondo and own a bottle. Wasn’t a fan of the profondo lights tho. And I like the absolu as well. But not a fan of absolu instinct lol But I love the new edp and Profumo! Those are my top 2. Jus my opinion.

[@monster19761997]

Thank you, your assessment saved me some money.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day

[@terrencegreen639]

Great review as always. I smelled this fragrance the other day at Macys and came away with the same exact conclusion.

[@TomerShtein]

Did you smell Essenza before? I have both and there are no similarities between them (as other here already mentioned).

[@johncampbell5929]

Which do you prefer?

[@mr.mcclain9917]

Great Production! I see you improved! Great video! I’m to test the new ADG this weekend.

[@mr.mcclain9917]

It smells like Profondo to me. Profumo is still my favorite.

[@matt4590]

Good video. I like AdG but didn't care for this flanker. That rindy grapefruit note with the patchouli smells like a sweaty gym bag to me.

[@christopherfrazier4689]

Appreciate the honesty BowTie.. maybe I will get a decant and try it out that way.

[@adamdacruz2897]

Love how you say Digio as one word lol... appreciate the honesty tho!!

[@VF5]

Do you prefer this over the OG?

[@8Soul88]

Profumo is the G.O.A.T!

[@jamesfitzgerald8223]

Thanks for sharing this Darian the Bow tie fragrance guy. As always keep doing your thing and I will catch you on the next video peace

[@Farfignewton29]

I agree that this is pretty redundant and actually kind of weak on me, but with me fresh scents especially always take time to macerate and for my nose to get used to it. When I purchased a bottle of Creed Viking it was the weakest smelling stuff I had ever purchased. As time passed it got so much stronger and it is now nowhere near the weak version that it was when I first purchased it. And believe it or not, the exact same thing happened when I purchased a bottle of Hacivat. It was SO WEAK when I first bought it, but now it is almost too strong. I got a 4.2 of this new Acqua and again it is pretty weak IMO, but I’m going to hang onto it and let it sit and I’m confident the same thing will happen as many of my other bottles that I’ve purchased. Yes it does smell like just another spin on the original and isn’t different enough to warrant a purchase especially if you have several from the line already, but to me this one is different enough and I will absolutely get use out of it. It’s a great any-occasion scent that won’t offend anyone really, and while it does smell a lot like a spin on the original it has a spring time vibe to it that I like that will be enjoyable to wear now that spring time is here. Kudos to Armani for releasing this at just the right time. Someone said it’s like the original ADG mixed with a H24 vibe and I can def see that. I think it’s almost impossible to give a real opinion on a scent strictly off of first impression. The scent will most likely smell different to you from the first time smelling it to the second time smelling it and then again three months from now. The liquid matures, your nose matures, and many scents that I didn’t like from the first few times sniffing them I ultimately end up loving. I think time and patience are things that get often overlooked in this hobby.

[@utmost-F16]

question: how to let a perfume macerate?

[@markfoley3402]

@@utmost-F16 leave it in a dark temperature controlled environment, like a drawer or closet. Give it six months or so and see if it smells any stronger. I've heard that a lot of people who've bought dupes from Alexandria and Dua who weren't impressed by their initial smell left them in a drawer for six months and were amazed by the improvement.

[@markwayman5069]

Same thing happenes to me! Profondo did that for me. Didnt wear it for a couple months and wore it to work one day when it was 80 degrees out. So strong! Opened up like a completely different scent. So much stronger than when I first bought it. I'm really hoping my new parfum does the same thing. I even have an edt bottle that i got last year that is way strong now too. Maceration is real.

[@dallasb1105]

Thanks for sharing, been waiting for your thoughts on this.

[@charleswebb9246]

Great review. Appreciate your thoughts.

[@shellroc21]

I agree. Enough is enough.

[@kohby784]

Darian: Do you think Acqua Di Gio is playing, a little, too safe with keeping the flankers-on top of-flankers concept? ( Feel free to share your thoughts )

[@abibodlogistics]

I love sweet smelling colognes that make heads turn and importantly I love them to last for a long time. Can you please recomend the ones that you know. Thanks .

[@willb9259]

Stronger with you intensely, but I heard it was reformulated tho😒

Should I get Dior sauvage edp or Armani aqua di gio edp??

You like more lavender soapy “blue smell” or you prefer something more “mineral, clean” smell ?

[@MaDFroG88]

@@shadyevenings I smelled them in Sephora and did not like the opening on the Armani but in 1 hour it got better, as for the Dior it was stronger I might get it.

[@shadyevenings]

@@MaDFroG88 everybody likes both, any of them are safe buy. If you like more sauvage , go for it . I’ve been wearing it for 4 years (the EDT) and it’s very likeable .

Спасибо за рассказ . Это было хорошее видео . Всего вам хорошего!

[@icyrene1]

Very helpful review, I have a lot of theses flankers as well…

[@isaacmckinney5628]

Spray it on clothes and goes away within an hour... Very weak projection... Mainly smell lemon and citrus and just seems to fade away really quick. Versace Eros lasted all day at work when spraying it all over my clothes but this just seems to be the kind of scent that needs to be reapplied every hour or two

[@l-mac5105]

I mostly buy and wear niche fragrances now. I rarely reach for my designer fragrances anymore for the reason you mentioned. I want something different. I got overwhelmed and burned out on designer houses releasing so many flankers. Bleu de Chanel and Sauvage are good examples. Now with the release of Sauvage Elixir and it costing what you can purchase a niche fragrance for, I’d rather buy niche.

[@TA-ht4jo]

I feel you on that.

[@joerichardson6107]

Why would they name it something different? Makes no sense. You have a brand name mega well known. It should be close to the others I wouldn't expect anything too much different, the OG with a twist. I can see if you already have 4 flankers it's redundant. I held out on all aqua di gio's, this being edp Ima scoop it, hearing it's close to ezzenza Im all in love vetiverum.

[@cheekychipolata]

It smells completely different to the edt, in a good way.

[@MuzikM_85]

I guess that is where the fragrance designer industry is at the moment, churning out of flankers with all new fragrances being few and far between. I bet they do have new fragrances stored and stashed somewhere ready for release though.

[@Tinku912]

I'd rather get Bentley Silverlake before I spend the money on this one. Thanks for your take.

[@Tinku912]

@@bewaraziz4790 Not sure. I just heard it's similar to Acqua Di Gio Essenza. It's supposed to have really good performance. Most Bentley fragrances perform well.

I totally understand homie it does smell good but at the same time it’s not different. They not thinking out the box they stay mind staying in it. Also for you to spend $100 on a fragrance that smells almost exactly like your other flankers it’s disappointing.

[@simplyfragrances4453]

I like this one. But the dry down gets a bit funky. Not sure why but it almost has a cannabis tone to it and the dry down off my skin. Even My Wife said the same thing. Ha

This or absolu ?

Its aqua di joe not gee oh lol

[@cruztube23]

You've been way too kind on the opening man. It's bad. Sea notes, aquatic notes, call it how you want. It's almost like algae, dead fish. When it dries down a lil bit, only then the awful note looses its strength. Then it becomes enjoyable. But the opening, first 15-30 minutes? Hell no
