No.117 Acqua Di Gio

No.117 goes after the Mediterranean freshness of Giorgio Armani's Acqua di Gio Parfum, leading with a bright marine accord and bergamot that reads convincingly close to the original at first spray. Community reviewers of the dupe note the resemblance is strongest in that opening hour, with the aromatic herbal facets and warm woody base coming through more faintly than in the real Acqua di Gio Parfum, which has noticeably more depth and richness in its later drydown. Longevity is shorter and projection more modest, typical of a vegan reformulation at a fraction of the price, but as a fresh, easy aftershave for daytime wear it does the job for anyone who wants the aquatic-citrus signature without the designer price tag.
