Acqua di Giò

by Alberto Morillas

Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Alberto Morillas. Acqua di Giò opens with Mandarin and Sea Water, settles into a heart of Lavender, Clary Sage, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Mineral, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Giorgio Armani's Acqua di Giò carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Divisive, perplexing, and a bit of a mess. This reinterpretation of the classic Acqua di Gio DNA suffers from wildly inconsistent performance, unexpected medicinal tones, and a bizarre "wet vegetable" or "body odour" drydown for many. Definitely test drive before committing.

Its fresh, clean profile makes it suitable for office and casual wear, aiming for an inoffensive scent bubble that won't overpower. However, wildly inconsistent performance reports and strong negative reactions to the drydown make it less reliable for high-stakes occasions like dates or formal events.

About

Opens with a brisk splash of marine notes and zingy mandarin, instantly refreshing. The heart introduces a distinctly aromatic blend of lavender and clary sage, adding a green, herbaceous depth that some find medicinal or even off-putting. The drydown features earthy vetiver and patchouli, underpinned by a prominent mineral accord that rounds out the aquatic feel, though for some, this mineral note takes an unfortunate turn towards something far less pleasant.
