Which Should You Buy?
A crystalline aquatic blast of citrus and mineral freshness, Profondo modernises the Acqua di Giò DNA with a bracing, clean energy that's ideal for summer and office wear. Effortlessly wearable and uplifting.
This flanker takes the original Encre Noire's dark, earthy core and splashes it with energising grapefruit and aquatic notes, creating a fresh, moody masterpiece. It's divisive if you hate vetiver, but for everyone else, it's a surprising gem and a blind-buy bargain.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Its bracing citrus, aquatic and mineral freshness make this ideal for summer and spring, where the airy and ozonic qualities shine. The light, invigorating structure is less suited to cold weather and lacks the depth needed for winter.
Occasions
With its moderate projection, uplifting freshness and clean profile, Profondo is nearly perfect for office, casual, or sporty settings. Its breezy, transparent character is less dramatic for formal evenings but fits most daytime occasions.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and fresh-woody profile make it highly versatile for office or casual wear without being intrusive. While 'Sport' is in the name, it's not a typical gym scent; instead, it's refined enough for many daily situations, but perhaps too unique for formal events.
