A missed opportunity ..
I must admit that from the very powerful Acqua di Gió from the 90s which would fill a room with two sprays to the current "Parfum", I am lost in the Armani´s game of sending away the fans.

I have already reviewed the EDP, which was decent in DNA but very thin and fleeting, the EDT is a joke and should not be considered at all as a purchase, I literally sprayed 5ml once from a new bottle and I could have maybe 1 hour of silage..

But we come to the current one, and one comes with the hopes that "Parfum" should act like one and be concentrated, have 20%+ oil in the composition and develop an oily spot on the skin when sprayed.

I believe that if the ADG Parfum is indeed having the % and it´s not only a title, must be right above the 20% .. which is still half from what Profumum Roma will add to their bottles.

This one smells like the original Acqua di Gió DNA, maybe an improved EDT let´s say .. but for my nose and expectations this cannot be called a Parfum, not even by title only.

The Mugler line lost the Men (Pure Havane, Pure Malt, etc) .. the A.D.G Essenza is gone and also the Code EDP or Code Absolu/Profumo .. now the Acqua di Gió Profumo is getting axed to leave space for this ..

I am honestly very confused by L'Oréal S.A. because they have the money, the talent and the distribution and they could make some stellar products .. but instead they chose to kill the good ones and release countless flankers which only are annoying the fan base.

And another thing: No, this is not a replacement for Profumo.

Thanks for reading and for watching the video.

Good, but? Good, period! (Bottle problem solved)
Yes, it's good, some perfumers might say. But some would probably agree. As a perfumo, you can of course complain that it is a "pleasing designer" (sometimes used as an insult in the ticker). You can also complain that it is a fragrance that many average men, who have "no idea" about the "perfume game", thoughtlessly buy from "Turquoise". Yes, that's all true. However, that doesn't make the fragrance bad.
It's good, you just have to realize that. Good, and period.

Good here means that this is a fresh fragrance that no one can really dislike. Take the bottle (oh, that bottle! More on that below), spray the contents on your skin 3-4 times and you will smell good. It also lasts. If you miss a few 1-2 hours of staying power, perhaps spray more after or at the beginning. And the freshness of #aqua di gio parfum definitely has a certain depth or character. In fact, I can understand why many have a problem with #ysl y parfum. I find it fresh and sweet without that extra something,

The only problem with the content of this perfume is that Armani has discontinued its predecessor Acqua di Giò Profumo Parfum and some of us who knew that predecessor miss it. Acqua di Giò Parfum smells just like Acqua di Giò Profumo Parfum MINUS something smoky that made this fragrance special. Is it incense? Possibly. In any case, you miss a level that the Acqua di Giò Parfum does not have. If you didn't know the predecessor and didn't love it, you probably wouldn't miss anything. Perhaps you have to remain positive: Before the profumo disappears completely, at least you have a concrete reminder to have around your neck every day. Even if the #aqua di gio parfum is not quite as smoky and spicy as its predecessor, it still has something spicy about it that sets it apart from other blue, aquatic fragrances.

Problem:
Because Armani has dispensed with the magnetic cap AND made the bottle refillable, many bottles are faulty. If you pull the non-magnetic cap, the spray head attachment lifts so that it protrudes a few mm from the bottle. This makes you wonder whether oxygen is getting in. Liquid does not come out of the bottle in my case, but this bottle does exist. There are YouTube videos that indicate that the bottle is leaking. You can read about the problem with the cap here in the forum.

Solution in sight:
Armani has probably followed up:
There is a 2024 production that comes with a magnetic cap. This should solve the problem. You can take a look at the new version on the Armani website. The difference can also be seen visually, as the new version has "Giorgio Armani" at the bottom of the bottle.

So if you don't have it, please take note.

Cruel development
Alberto Morillas, the man who apparently only needs months to create a fragrance.
The result was this uninspired work. Why did they take the good Profumo (I know, also by Morillas) off the market and make a fool of us with this successor? Because they must have saved on more expensive ingredients.
Di Gio Parfum is of course reminiscent of EssenceVitae. Only it doesn't have the charm, is much scratchier and there is too little incense.
I partly understand why the distribution company is doing this.
But the fact that Armani gives it the go-ahead is a mystery to me. Or does he not care.
It has long been observed in the mainstream perfume world that creative fragrances are no longer in demand. At MFK, two good men's fragrances can no longer be ordered. Instead, light Aqcua fragrances. Not particularly exciting either.
Only on the cheap.
As long as the margin is right.
What a disappointment.

Profumo.
On my skin i feel this is a Profumo in a new bottle, marketing stuff.

Maybe they added a little more aroma chemicals but you could never tell “this is profumo” or “this is parfum” if you blind smell them.

Again, just marketing. Nothing new or different, don’t worry.

Performance is quite great, 8+ hours with a spray on my hand.

Essenza - light please!
Today times again for a long time in the drugstore with the big M been and inspected the fragrance department.
One is quite spoiled once you have arrived in the niche - Boss, Dior, Azzaro, etc.. Everything okay. I wanted to move on already, as I saw under all the Acqua Flanker a perfume. My essenza I still find a brilliant fragrance with great sillage and durability. The bottle is unfortunately nearing the end.

So the acqua the Gio perfume sprayed on.
The top note - clearly acqua di gio . Seriously - the head DNA is already ingenious.
After about 30 minutes something dark comes to it, it must be the incense. I can not do anything with this note - I do not like it at least.
After about 1.5 h then the usual Acqua di gio essenza vibe - but as if you put a filter in front of it. Subdued and almost only perceptible on the skin.
Probably currently the best way to get the scent with power. However, not as strong as before- as with many other fragrances.
By no means a bad fragrance, but the comparison with earlier versions he loses in my opinion.
Nevertheless, a good buy for lack of alternatives. Eben essenza light. Fits yes in our slim fit time.

Pleasant, fresh and generic opening. The drydown is a less dark and incensy Acqua di Giò Profumo. Just one more fresh aquatic scent.

Anyone claiming bad performance is either trolling, got a fake bottle and or needs to get their nose checked. 8+ hours on my skin.

This feels like l'Oreal answered calls to keep Profumo alive. They gave it a smooth haircut, shave & new suit and sent it back out to work.
