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+

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

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! 👍

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.
@TimHesse2 жыл бұрын
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.
@jdubs6042 жыл бұрын
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)

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.

@Farfignewton292 жыл бұрын
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.

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.
