[@aaronoldenburger3436]

Profondo is the fragrance i get the most compliments with, almost every time i wear it. Top 3 designer for me

[@ShmurdaaaA]

Are they discontinuing the old version?

[@aaronoldenburger3436]

@@ShmurdaaaA looks like it

[@MrBin2]

Profondo is the most generic smelling blue cologne. Profumo/Parfum is the best and stands out.

[@aaronoldenburger3436]

@@MrBin2 that's your opinion. I don't like the profumo and find it way overrated.

[@accradata]

I'm doing my absolute best to enjoy Profondo, but I really can't say I like it anymore than Legend Spirit or something a fraction of the price. It just doesn't have anything great to me personally. Glad you like it though 👍

[@kevino73]

I have to be honest. I'm a little confused as to what Armani is trying to accomplish here? It seems like they're essentially creating the same fragrance with slight tweaks with each release, and I'm curious how the public is going to receive it. I guess this is their answer to the Y line, or the Sauvage line.

[@jdmb03]

Rebottled Profondo and Parfum to jive with their eco-friendly refillable bottles. Not much difference in the juice.

[@BrianK_70]

I prefer this approach to reformulation or cutting oil percentages without any way for consumers to know until they've spent their money. This way you always know what you're buying and hopefully the retailers will have to list them as separate items for sale.

[@SamiiRSMT]

What Sauvage line? Their latest flanker was Elixir, since then Armani has released 4 ADG flankers

[@ryansackett6521]

It seems as if they are going to slowly fade the OG Profundo out, and highlight the newer, and perfect the formula.

[@Gungrave123]

the mass consumer doesn't even know what a "note breakdown" is

[@hectoribarra1245]

I love that Giorgio Armani keeps pumping out the endless Acqua di Gio flankers. I like the variety since ADG is my favorite fragrance line. I live in mostly hot climate here in northern California so, naturally, most of my collection is "blue", fresh, citrus, or aquatics. Looking forward to reviews of the rebottled EDT (2024) & EDP (2024), also the new Profondo Parfum.

[@Shivrz4202]

I live in NorCal too but all my fragrances are winter frags lol

[@simpa256]

I can make this review for you. EDT is more greener, its not as stale aquatic fruity that it was. Thus its more what EDT was in 1996. Parfum is heavy on pachuli and incense with little aquatic undertone, very much what Profumo was in 2016, just a tad bit weaker. EDP is in between, you can smell the pacbuli, some incense and more aquatic fruity accord. Profondo old vs new is more or less what Ash said while Profodo Parfum is the same Progondo minus the mineralic notes. It is thus less fresh, more sweet. Way less character and is borderline boring but I like it more as its Profondo without the mineral notes which didnt sit well with me.

[@danielcory4867]

Ignore people saying you take too long. Most people don’t go into depth like you do. Love your content man

[@martinstajer1826]

Ash really activated the mode you use when you need to write a paper with as much words as possible with resaying stuff all over again until he gets to the point 😅

[@weirdversions]

Nice Twin Peaks t-shirt! Got me thinking what would a Twin Peak based fragrance smell like. I would call it Garmonbozia Elixir lol

[@mikaela6358]

The fact that an actual perfumer can describe a fragrance as detailed and completely as you can in less than half the time is incredible.

[@juanjerez6370]

This is my favorite designer fragrance, So I’m glad that they tweaked it and made it even better.. Awesome video Ash!

[@kevjames]

Thank you! I went and got the new 2024 EDP Profondo right after watching your video, and you are dead on. I'm obsessed with the improved rendition and am so glad I caught your channel. Thank you!

[@Forzasge1822]

Does is smell different? I testet the older profondo and like it

[@EzekielReynolds-n7b]

I just picked up the 2024. For me it smells even better than the original, and that was already one of my top picks. But it doesn’t even last 3 hours, nor does it project more than a foot. I’m telling you when I say it smells like the best blue fragrance, I mean it. But it does NOT last or project. Go find a sample bottle in person, spray it on your skin, go about your day until you buy it. I can’t even get a whiff of it when I try unless my nose is an inch away from where I sprayed.

[@Rich_Daniel78]

BLESS ARMANI!!!! This GIANT Fragrance house NEVER disappoints. Thank you GENTS! 💪

[@Fresh_Indeed]

ADG profondo is my fav ADG as well. I never got an "egg" vibe from profondo but I very much did with Bulgari Aqua Atlantique.

[@Peepman52]

Yea someone told me it smells like rotten eggs rotten lemons gotten no compliments and people hate it lol. Maybe I have a bad batch but I don’t think so. It’s just not a pleasant sent at all I’m so confused how people like that

[@MrMelonMan96]

Woah I remember that line from Bvlgari it was so hyped back in the day

[@Flamma777]

@@Peepman52wear perfumes for yourself not for compliments. Don’t buy from online discounters because they’ll send you a spoiled batch you get what you pay for

[@TheSpaniard80]

Bizzare this. I’ve seen a couple people say this about Aqua Atlantique. However, for me, it is an absolute banger of a summer scent. An EDP version would’ve been the one for performance tho…

Know you love the adg line, but still thanks for going out of the way to get the new profundo and provide your thoughts on it before it is here in the states. Looking forward to trying it based on your review.

[@Taylormademan900]

"Money grab" Essenza was their best flanker and it's discontinued

[@BrianK_70]

How is it a money grab? Do people somehow believe they have to buy a bottle of every new fragrance released?

[@justnashpa]

I have around 240 ml of that 😅

[@shadialshauibi8509]

I agree with you, Essenza is the best

[@kufkzxkxzvkdvkxz]

I have to laugh when people call a fragrance release a money grab. Of course it is. Every fragrance release ever is a money grab. Do people think Armani is a non-profit organization?

[@johnirl1]

I cant wait to get this - i have been a fan of Profondo for some time but wished it was less herbaceous and mor fresh and sweet - so i turned to Azzaro Chrome Extreme that has these qualities. ACE has now been discontinued so it's music to my ears that Profondo now has these tweaks, can't wait. Also i love to see Ash's slightly emotional conclusion of the video, relieved that this beautiful fragrance has been enhanced ❤

[@johnjenkins777]

I’m excited to try the new Aqua Dio Profondo. I do have a back up bottle of Profondo.

[@marcusmoeller7825]

Dude, the OG Profondo is my #1 during the summer. The scent it self and the bottle is just amazing to me. I would love to have the OG version in my collection for the rest of my life. Hope they bring it back one day 🙏🏻.

[@slhines7]

Has the OG Profondo been discontinued?

[@umpus]

Just buy like 5 bottles now. They're still selling it.

[@danielsegura2702]

I’m glad they got rid of the mineral “eggy” notes. It was very noticeable to me and it was what kept me from buying it. To me its the most noticeable in the ADG EDP but I could pick it up in profondo too

[@rlrnyc]

Exactly. To me it was extremely off putting.

[@blackknightdl]

What do you think about Gio Parfum

[@Flamma777]

Egg smell? You definitely got a spoiled batch. That’s what happens when you buy from online discounters You get what you pay for

[@rlrnyc]

@@Flamma777 you mean the “online discounter” at the department store where I sampled it? Lol. Perhaps only those with a more sophisticated sense of smell can pick it out.

[@blackknightdl]

@@Flamma777 I bought multiple bottles of AdG, from Armani site and Macy’s, there’s definitely some type of egg scent mixed in, particular in the EDP and to a lesser extent in essenza

[@hectoribarra1245]

They should have made Profondo EDP 2024 bottle with the blue gradient starting from the bottom to match the new EDP 2024 & kept the new Profondo Parfum as is since it matches the regular Parfum.

[@giofrancotrain18essence]

The edp profondo should have light blue and parfum profondo should have dark blue scheme for everyone will not be confused on thier perfumes.

[@jdmb03]

Fast forward to 4:50.

[@Curseoftheblade3453]

I'd be interested to have you compare this new ADG Profondo 2024 with Azzaro Chrome Extreme now that some of the green notes have been toned down.

[@kj-vo8vy]

Yeaaa

[@samyyyyyyy]

I bet you Armani had to reformulate ADG Profumo and ADG Profondo bc of regulations and decided to change the packaging of the entire line at the same time. Classy move but I got my backup bottles just in case 🤣

[@samyyyyyyy]

@@BourbonInhibitions they knew what they were doing - IFRA regulations change, they ban more and more materials each year, also material costs are up - makes sense to re-formulate and "re-brand" at the same time - 2022 brought ADG EDP and it was refillable, yet they change the bottle still and possibly the fragrance too. 2-Birds, 1-cup - also being refillable is not "Eco-Friendly" it literally creates the same amount of trash if not more from packaging alone 😂

[@minhazislam7075]

Just wanted to share an update on new ADG Parfum, Armani has discontinued the 75 and 125 ml bottle, new ones will come in 50 and 100 ml and the magnetic cap is back.

[@bradleyclanton8855]

Fr??

[@theboyisso6960]

They also changed the smell back to 100% Profumo

[@blackknightdl]

@@theboyisso6960 what do you mean. though similar Parfum is somewhat different to Profumo ?

[@davidpascual9571]

I really like the mineral aspect of original profondo & the amazing sillage, with that in mind , for me personally at least, profondo is perfect as it is , won’t be looking into this “new” version , and the new Parfum? Forget it .

[@GentsScents]

The new Parfum could be amazing though, I wouldn’t immediately write something off before it’s even properly released.

[@pkj77]

i looked it up in Denmark size 100 ml for 1.050,00 danish crowns or 152,6$USD even a 200 ml

[@Bouchon211]

Was never a huge Profondo guy as it smelled very green to my nose. The 2024 version sounds right up my alley!

[@misterbeane]

In the air, Profumo and the Parfum are identical, or so close that it doesn’t warrant trying to hunt down a bottle of Profumo vs. just going to Ulta and getting a bottle of the Parfum. I’d imagine this is exactly the case with this new version of Profondo.

[@wyattc.4455]

Profumo has better performance than parfum unfortunately. Parfum lasted like 2 hours on my after trying it at Macys. Profumo lasts 6 with 3 sprays.

[@thelaboys2871]

Profondo has been my signature scent for a while. Office friendly, easy to wear literally anywhere, I get complements and nobody is ever overwhelmed with the smell. Women have told me they hate when dudes wear strong stuff to work “sauvage”. I hate that I have to buy more bottles of this stuff but they really did enhance the Profumo and profondo

[@GentsScents]

I love both versions, Profondo is my ADG of choice regardless of which one

[@Scentember]

I’ve always loved the matte glass finish of the Profondo. Though the new 2024 Profondo’s profile seems exciting and all, I wish they had kept the same bottle design.

[@mofosho]

Sounds like they kinda made it closer to Profondo lights…. Which is sweeter and semi fresher?

[@jazzychazjourneys]

This line is very confusing now lol but I love the line. ADG is really a powerhouse. I wonder if they will release an Elixir of this line

[@genuinetool]

I'll just wait for Acqua di Gio New Profumo Elixir 2025 Ltd Edition.

[@gr33n5murf]

just think of it as they're streamlining the product line's bottle design by putting it into the new gradient bottles and giving the fragrance a slight tweak in the process

[@slikjmuzik]

I’m happy to hear they may have handled that weird ‘thing’. I never got egg, but I definitely would get something that would remind me like someone leaving their clothes in the washer overnight and forgetting to stick them in the dryer. It was like a wet rag smell. If they took care of that, I’m gonna be buying bottles and bottles of this new Profondo, because I seriously loved the opening and wished that it had stayed there, but then just dried like a less humid version of the opening.

[@dzynguy]

I'm confused. So the 2024 EDP is slightly different from the 2020 EDT, but the 2024 is also coming as a perfume version? That will be even stronger than the new EDP. When is the parfum due out then, after the EDP?

[@leethebaldguy9390]

I must be being dumb. I smelt them side by side To me.....they smelt the same, even the performance was the same I feel some influencers are just TRYING to sell this newer version

[@Use2FACTAUTH]

Excited to get my nose on it, sadly joined the fragrance community shorty after Profumo was discontinued

[@joshuawise1411]

I'm selling a bottle 4.2oz haha

[@Maverick89071]

Great review Ash! Given that ADG Profondo is my first love, I've been anxious to hear how the new iteration smells. Do you think if we have the original Profondo, do we really need the new 2024 iteration? Or would it be redundant to own both? Thanks!

[@Dr.Ijaz_ab]

Today I received mine, and as you mentioned, when it dried down, it had a fresher and sweeter scent, resembling Absolu to some extent.

[@Snake-filledChimp]

This sounds pretty nice. I blind bought a 4.2oz of Profondo a few years ago, and I've never been in love with it. It's just ok to me - I do find that it has that little sharp "funk" note and is overall kind of abrasive - not smooth enough for me.

[@buddhist1983]

i thought i was going crazy haha, nobody is talking about that funk note, it reminds me of the gross smell of wet seaweed at a beach 😂

[@matthewpraayjr.9797]

If you are in love with it, I would buy it off of you

yea it has that weird sharp and piercing almost BO note. Tygar has it too kind of, as well as Fierce

[@kufkzxkxzvkdvkxz]

I'm glad that this happened. I have always thought profondo smelled a little funky, almost like it has this weird gamey, sweaty vibe. It sounds like that is exactly what they have addressed. I will have to try this out.

[@chienpangyi4535]

I really think based on L’Oréal logic, if they keep the same name, the intention is not to create a new scent but to keep the OG scent. If the FIL number is changed, most likely due to some ingredient sourcing changes. For example, passive sicenario : some raw material used to use now being banned, they are forced to replace the formulation and then try to reduplicate the scent as close as possible ; positive scenario: the brand wants to boost the sustainability of raw material, so they change the supplier of raw material but still intend to reduplicate the scent as close as its past version. In case of “keeping the same name, but with a new formulation”, it would be like the case of YSL Y EDT, new one versus the old one, and they did communicate that it is a new formula when the new one is released, for Y EDT, the cause of the change was mainly for the sake of improving its performance as the first generation of Y EDT, the performance was too bad. So in conclusion: I believe for EDT, Profondo EDP, EDP, Parfum, now in 2024 they are all in new pack (Parfum despite the same design, but the sizing regime is now changed from 40/75/125 to 30/50/100), but I do not assume the house wants to really create a new or adjusted scent apart from their past versions even if the FIL (formula Number) has been changed. The only intended new release from the house for 2024 big ADG campaign would be on “Profondo Parfum”. FIL changes are very often in cosmetics industry, even more in skincare items. In the case of fragrance production it can be even more sensitive as even for the same FIL , just by different batches could result in some nuances in its olfactory perception and slight alternation on its performance. Hope this bring an another perspective in this debate from someone who has always worked in the marketing of cosmetics brands. :-)

[@Sam_Stanton]

Glad to hear this is actually new! Also my OG bottle is the lowest performing I have out of 120+ so I'm pleased the performance is better! Will be picking this one up :)

[@milenkostadinov8702]

I just came back from a vacation trip to Europe and I must admit, the "standard Aqua" is about the same smell as the new PROFONDO. And I might bring a little confusion, but there are 200ml Aqua di parfum so it is like middle power between the actual parfum and eau de toilette. In terms of smell/flavour, to me, I would say 90% it is the same Aqua (which I loved for its fruity/fresh smell) but I don't think spending 2x or 3x more the price will be so beneficial (unless someone wants to brag with its new "toy") but wearing a parfum will make this hard as people won't see which one you wear, and they might be having a really fine nose to tell you got the 2024 or the 20xx (well known bottle). Having that said, I still love Armani for this, and I got myself a 200ml of classic for a bargain or 40Eur (special promotion because of 2024 kick ;) )

Question… When people say it’s the 2024 release Does this mean the juice was made in 2024? Or it was released on 2024? I got the new bottle with the gradient and I returned it because it said it was a batch from 2023 but do all the bottles with the new design smells the same?

Compare the 2024 AdG Profondo with Liam Blue Shine by Lattafa… the exact same, mate.

At this point as someone who has never bothered with the aqua di gio line I wouldn’t even know where to jump in.

A better version of Profondo? Ok, now I’m hyped

[@russkidwell]

Just got the 2024 bottle from Europe. It smells like a slightly brighter fresher version of Profondo. Not quite as mossy. It's not an overly exciting difference

[@russkidwell]

Would not recommend unless you're out of Profondo

[@bernabeueagle1726]

Based on your review and description, I'm really excited, I wasn't a big fan of Profondo, I found it leaning towards those ambroxan scents, I didn't like that mineral vibe. I wanted Profondo to be cleaner, fresher and more pleasing, and you said that they did it. Plus the performance was below average. I'm really happy with what Armani did with Parfum (instead of the overhyped Profumo), and now Profondo, looking forward to Profondo Parfum. I'm sure as you said many people will resist the change and keep downgrading the new one, just because they love the overrated predecessors.

As i saw, they changed all the bottles. Maybe the other flankers also have differences.

[@Kasped-xm8yz]

I have smelled the New EDT, and it’s different from the original.

[@dummb1234]

I feel like it smells similar to thirst trap by confessions of a rebel

[@Rachiid1]

They are indeed different, the 2024 is actually an Angel share clone !

Im so excited for this new Profondo! I've always loved the the smell but it didn't perform on me so I never got to buying the full bottle but hopefully this one fixes the issue 🙏🏻💯
