Acqua di Gio

Acqua di Giò is a iconic, aromatic aquatic fragrance for men launched by Giorgio Armani in 1996, created by perfumer Alberto Morillas. Inspired by the Mediterranean island of Pantelleria, it defines "freshness" with a blend of marine notes, citrus (bergamot/lemon), and aromatic rosemary, creating a crisp, salty, and warm signature scent. 

Key Characteristics:

• Scent Profile: Aromatic Aquatic — opens with a crisp, salty sea breeze that dries down to a woodier, warmer, and slightly musky scent.
• Main Notes: Marine notes, bergamot, neroli, rosemary, patchouli, and cedar.
• Variations: While the original Eau de Toilette is airy and light, variations like the 2023 Acqua di Giò Parfum offer a more intense, refined experience with increased longevity (approx. 10 hours) and smoky incense notes.
• Usage: Highly versatile, best suited for spring and summer, suitable for both casual and formal wear.
• Meaning: Literally translates from Italian as "Gio's Water" or "Water of Youth".
