Armani BeautyAcqua di Giò - Eau de Parfum - Cologne for Men - Fresh & Powerful Men’s Fragrance - Mandarin, Lavender, Patchouli Notes

I have been interested in Acqua Di Gio for a long time. Always hearing about it, but having never really getting into the fragrance game, I never tried it.I went ahead and made this my first serious purchase. The scent was immediately very familiar and transported me back to the 2000s. Smells great, but also I realized I had unknowingly owned cheap colognes over the years with the same DNA, so I wasn't overly excited because it was so familiar to me. It's also maybe a bit too concentrated for my tastes, as I now realize I'm used to toilettes, not parfums. I like a more subtle projection, and this one projects strongly on me and lasts an entire day. I definitely enjoy it more on me after a few hours of wearing it.I will also say that I did completely verify authenticity based on multiple video comparisons of fakes vs real. The bottle and box I got had every single marker of a legit bottle, so there shouldn't be any worry about this being a knockoff. Correct lettering, atomizer, font, cap, all of it is correct and the scent is lasting.Due to me having other scents so similar as my main colognes for most my life, I probably won't end up wearing this super often because I want something different. But if you haven't had this scent or you absolutely love this type of scent, you can't go wrong. If you prefer a lighter smelling cologne, I would probably go for the toilette version though, the salt air comes through very strong to me with this parfum.I give it five stars because it is a fantastic example of this DNA, and the seller has legit bottles for a pretty good price.

Absolutely love the smell. I accidently bought the wrong cologne but my husband liked this even more.

Now I’ve gone nose blind to this particular cologne and oftentimes forget I put it on but get reminded by how many compliments I get from people in public saying how nice I smell and, where to find this cologne.

Even though Amazon says they verify authenticity and everything, I was still skeptical because fakes are everywhere and counterfeiters are very clever. But this seems genuine to me - the bottle/atomizer/etc look correct, the smell is correct and it lasts a long time like it's supposed to.

Perfect product, I always use it and love it.

The scent is quite pleasant; however, it's certainly not something that would turn heads or captivate attention in a major way. While it has a nice aroma, it’s unlikely that anyone will be compelled to stop you and ask about the fragrance you’re wearing. It has its charm, but it doesn’t have that wow factor that makes people curious.

Este perfume combina elegancia y frescura en cada aplicación. Su salida es ligera y chispeante, con notas cítricas que aportan energía; luego evoluciona hacia un corazón floral delicado y envolvente, que transmite sofisticación. El fondo amaderado le da calidez y durabilidad, logrando que la fragancia se mantenga durante horas sin perder intensidad. Es versátil, perfecto tanto para el día como para la noche, y deja una estela que no pasa desapercibida.

I recommend this purchase!
