Fled For Men Eau de Parfum vs Acqua di Giò Profondo Lights Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
Fled chases Calvin Klein's Escape for Men - an aqueous melon-and-mango opening cut with eucalyptus, settling into green forest woods over mossy patchouli. The dupe gives a touch more body than the famously fleeting original, while keeping that nostalgic 90s aromatic-green character intact.
This flanker is a divisive one: some call it a diluted Profondo, others a superior, more mature take. It's an aromatic aquatic that leans greener and more woody than its siblings, making it a sophisticated alternative in the ADG line. Prepare for a hunt, though, as it's often discontinued.
