by Edouard Fléchier

Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1995, created by Edouard Fléchier. The fragrance opens with Violet, Peach, Banana, and Peony, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily Of The Valley, Jasmine, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Musk, Cedar, and Amber.

Our verdict on Acqua di Gio: Favourite

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.

About

Acqua di Gio opens with a fascinating, boozy splash of vodka, softened by sweet pineapple and ripe peach, before plunging into a cool, aquatic heart. Lush lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, and peony create a vibrant floral bouquet, underpinned by a distinct green freshness. As it settles, a clean musk and cedar base emerges, leaving a fresh yet sophisticated trail that conjures images of a breezy, sun-drenched coast.
