I can apply before work and after an eight hour shift can still smell it radiating off my skin in my apartment. It’s not as strong as the first three hours but the citrus drops off and you get this nice oceanic, lightly sweet, warm, ambery, masculine scent. It may be possible to go somewhat anosmic to this profile. This is my signature scent, love it!

Profumo was love at first sniff for me. Finishing up my 2nd bottle of it! When I heard about Profondo, I ended up blind buying it, and I will admit, I wasn’t nearly as blown away by it as I was with Profumo. BUT, after giving it a few proper wearings out and about, I ended up liking it a lot!!! It’s just such a refreshing and uplifting scent to me. I totally agree with you though about the opening. It has become my favorite part of it, and I wish it lasted longer. That beautiful fruity mandarin opening is so nice. Solid review man!

I actually liked this a lot, best Acqua di Gio to date in my opinion! I hope it hits the discounters soon, since I want to get a full bottle of this 😎 Profondo is definitely more mass appealing than Profumo, so I have a feeling the fragcomm will not like this as much as Profumo...

I give you me impressions of almost all of flankers of Acqua di Gio: - AdG original version... Was amazing. But as you know was reformulated. Doesn't has the same power, but it still smelling well. Fresh and citrussy. - ESSENZA, it's a real EDP. Brutal performance. Just 2 or 3 sprays are enough. - PROFUMO, it works well but IMO it's for cool weather nights. In high temperatures I don't like how it works. PROFONDO. I think it's more dense than original version and more acuatic, but less power than ESSENZA. Very similar than PROFUMO, but without the strength of the incense. - ABSOLU it has power, but the thing it's very similar than INVICTUS. So it don't makes me sense to buy a brand like ARMANI, with a pretty similar scent than other house.

I tried it. It smells marine notes in the opening and dry down. Similar to the smell you would get from a 80s 90s man's shower gel. This is what the ozonic scent is. (I didn't smell any citruses, it's probably covered by the marine notes). At the end the base note appears and stay a very very long time. This note is a classic : it's ambroxyn and it smells like what you would smell on Sauvage or Office for men. It's the same smell ingredient but it will smell different compared to the 2 others. And since it's ambroxyn: girls will be mad about it. Like Sauvage, like Office. This fragrance is going to be a MASSIVE hit no matter what all reviewers are saying now that they don't like it.

The Essenza was a true improvement over the EDT. The olibanum shined. Not mentioned here BUT considering the fact there are so many eBay bottles for so much (and folks paying through the nose, quite literally!) It begs the question: Why the hell even ever discontinue it? Then I see your first impression and realized "o ok, they only want one AdG EDP on the market." I wanted a deeper darker aquatic (a la Night Dive or Zoologist Squid) this doesn't sound like that though maybe a tweaked Essenza in the ubiquitous blue bottle? If Armani starts doing what DIOR is doing soon the designer perfume market will be nothing but the Bay of Meh. Sad.
