Aqua Essence Elixir for Men

Aqua Essence Elixir opens fresh and zesty: bergamot and green mandarin sparkle with a touch of nutmeg, capturing the bright, aquatic-fresh signature of Acqua di Gio Elixir. The heart is cool and clean, with violet leaf and a bracing water accord keeping it crisp and uplifting. The base is where the Elixir earns its name - leather, vetiver, patchouli and labdanum give a smooth, slightly leathery-woody depth that fixes the citrus and aquatics in place. Against the Armani, Perfume Parlour reproduces the smooth, easy-wearing character but the violet-leather backbone and the original's eight-to-nine-hour staying power are softened, so it reads simpler and fades faster. Projection is moderate before drawing close to the skin. A versatile fresh-aquatic for warm-weather casual days, the office and sport, with enough polish for a daytime date.
