Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia Essenza is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion, and Loc Dong. Acqua di Gioia Essenza opens with Lemon, Pink Pepper, and Mint, settles into a heart of Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Sugar Cane, Cedar, and Cashmeran. Giorgio Armani's Acqua di Gioia Essenza carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This flanker to the popular Acqua di Gioia is a bit of a mixed bag; it dials up the sweetness and woods, losing some of the original's freshness. If you want a longer-lasting, more intense aquatic, this one's for you, but it's not for everyone.

About

It opens with a zesty, cooling hit of lemon and mint, spiced up with a pop of pink pepper. The heart unfurls with lush jasmine, giving way to a surprisingly deep dry-down of sweet sugarcane, creamy cashmeran, and earthy cedar. This is a fresh, aquatic-leaning scent with a notable sweet and woody backbone.
