Giorgio Armani Giò is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1992, created by Françoise Caron. Giò opens with Hyacinth, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Rosewood, settles into a heart of Redcurrant Leaf, Orange Blossom, Iris, and Orris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Giorgio Armani's Giò carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This 90s powerhouse is a divisive beast: some hail it as a lost masterpiece of spicy white florals, a confident declaration of intent. Others recoil, finding its heady, 'too much' character utterly unbearable. Wear it if you dare, because Giò will wear you.

About

Giò bursts forth with a vibrant, heady blend of hyacinth and rosewood, softened by mandarin that quickly gives way to a grand, opulent white floral heart. Tuberose and gardenia lead the charge, spiced with carnation and clove, all underpinned by a rich, warm drydown of amber, musk, and vanilla, with a touch of creamy sandalwood that lingers for ages.
