Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Acqua di Gio EDT
A divisive yet iconic 90s classic that either transports you to a blissful summer or leaves you cold. This watery floral, with its unique vodka kick, is a time capsule - love it for its nostalgic charm or dismiss it as dated. Not for everyone, but unforgettable for those who 'get' it.

Our Verdict - No.027 Acqua Di Gio EDP
A budget take on Giorgio Armani's Acqua di Gio for women, leaning on watery pineapple and a fresh floral heart. Simpler and shorter-lived than the original's layered marine-floral build, but the sunny opening lands close.
