Acqua Di Gio EDT Spray 3.4 oz by Giorgio Armani

I have been wearing Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Eau de Toilette men’s cologne for at least 10 years now. I just keep buying it every year or two because I love it so much and am obsessed with the scent. I keep trying other colognes, and while I do like some of them, this is by far my favorite cologne I’ve ever had. I would personally describe the scent as clean, fresh, citrusy, and maybe slightly floral? It’s a very unique scent to me that I haven’t smelled with other men’s colognes. It’s a very versatile scent that can be worn year-round. I usually spray about 3-5 sprays as Eau de Toilette’s are commonly a little weaker than a parfum. The projection of the cologne isn’t overpowering, but other people can smell it when close to you. I bought this one in a gift set ... MoreI have been wearing Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Eau de Toilette men’s cologne for at least 10 years now.

I bought this one in a gift set from Macy’s, which also came with a couple of other things as an added bonus inside of a nice packaged box. It was a very good value, in my opinion. You can usually find some kind of deal, discount, or bundle around the holiday season! And once this one is gone, I’ll buy another!

This is one of the few cologne you can call a timeless classic. It’s great all year round but it shines the most during the summer time. I personally have owned this bottle several times as I grew up. I may have grown tired of it at times, but I always end up going back for it because it truly is charming. Nostalgia in a bottle. Although longevity is not its strongest attribute, it’s a very fresh and clean scent. Projection is alright during the beginning , after three hours it becomes a skin scent. Sometimes cologne does not have to be complicated, the very reason why I believe this cologne is so popular, is because of its simplicity. Every man must own this bottle at least once in their life.

Purchased at Nordstrom. Armani acqua di gio is a scent that has stood the test of time. These smells incredible on some men that I know, including my husband. This is a very unique scent, definitely memorable. It stands out enough that when you refer to the person that wears it, you will say they always smell so good!! This has several ingredients to make its special scent. Fresh Calabrian bergamot, neroli, green tangerine, rosemary, sweet persimmon, and warm Indonesian patchouli. The combination of these ingredients is a hit!!! Highly recommend going to a department store and trying this scent out. Lasts about 5-7 hours

Acqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani has quickly become one of my favorite fragrances, and for good reason. The light, fresh scent lingers on me all day, giving me a boost of confidence every time I wear it. I’ve even received a few compliments, which makes me appreciate it even more. This cologne offers a classic and masculine fragrance experience that feels timeless. While I may not always stand out in a crowd, I believe this scent leaves a lasting impression. The elegant blend of notes evokes the feeling of a gentle summer breeze, making it perfect for any occasion—whether it's a day at work or a weekend gathering. If you’re looking for a versatile, memorable fragrance, Acqua Di Gio is definitely worth a try.

Acqua Di Gio in 2024. When I started my fragrance journey, I purchased this one early on. One way I like to measure how good a scent truly is for me is if it stands the test of time as I collect more scents. With ADG, the more I purchased, the more I loved this one. All it took was one spray for me to appreciate the citrus notes in this one: fresh lemon, neroli sea notes are what I pick up the most from this. I'm not going to lie say I can detect all 100 notes in this, but just know that the freshness is so pleasing on any day, especially a summer day or a relaxing one indoors. This has become my go-to scent when I am at home or running errands just want to smell clean without standing out, I know that every time I have passed someone with a nice citrus scent on I ... MoreAcqua Di Gio in 2024.

Despite owning over 100 scents, I went through a 100ml bottle and am currently 2/3 through my 300ml bottle, this fragrance is no joke easily blind-buy safe. A 300ml bottle is worth the investment since this lasts not even 3 hours on me and I respray throughout the day. A timeless scent, from a beautiful fragrance line. 9.3/10

23 YEARS....THIS HAS BEEN MY TOILETTE

Ive wore this for about 23 years. I have always loved the fact that this is so light and clean. I have always received compliments on it and still do. The only complaint I have is how this quickly dies out. When it first came out it would last. I would spray my hats, jackets and hoodies. You would walk past them after a week or two and get a light smell of the toilette still on the garments. NOW....your lucky to smell the things you spray a day later....two if your lucky. If you really want it to last all day, you have to spray it on pretty thick and at the cost of it NOW, its hard to spray more than 3-4 sprays I feel like they changed the original formula some, maybe taking out some of the carrier oils or what ever makes it last longer on your skin/body/clothing, ... MoreIve wore this for about 23 years.

Yes, I know...I have tried the Parfum, Yes it does last longer BUT it just doesn't smell the same, its a bit too bold and spicy to be Acqua Di Gio in my opinion. I have started to list this on my Birthday and Christmas gift list....keeps me from having to buy it so much :-)

A genuinely well put together summer fragrance!

The classic, vintage and popular from the 90s. I wish I could part ways but this fragrance is just put together too well.From the opening to the base notes, this is a fragrance that does it all in a consistent, mellow and subtle style that declares warmth and freshness of spring and summer, without being too floral, soapy and aromatic. Gio is a citrus scent that opens with good projection and composition of lemon-orange-jasmine giving way to sweet aquatic citrus and floral notes, without the bitterness associated with citrus fruits. This combination steadily and ultimately settles down to floral-musk so ingeniously and admirably that it evokes a feeling of genuine leather on skin. Even through the dry down, the scent gives off pleasant and considerable citrus ... MoreThe classic, vintage and popular from the 90s.

This combination steadily and ultimately settles down to floral-musk so ingeniously and admirably that it evokes a feeling of genuine leather on skin. Even through the dry down, the scent gives off pleasant and considerable citrus vibes, making it distinguished and easily recognizable by its name after hours of initial spray. Not only is this a good skin fragrance but it sticks to clothes for days. This is what GIO delivers successfully, making it a fragrance that still retains its value after almost 30 years of its conception.Acqua Di Gio is one of my favourite fresh-citrus scents and my first buy. Must I mention that the chemistry from the bottle that I own from 2005 is still as potent as the first spray. A very safe and reliable bet.

Fabulous Fragrance, But Is It Safe?

Acqua di Gio Eau de Toilette is a rich, subtle, and relaxed cologne of distinction. First rate. My only concern is its safety. After using the cologne, I found a single combined list of ingredients on the Armani web page used for their various colognes. Among these ingredients is at least one suspected concinegen (carrageenan), an extract of red seaweed. Dr. Andrew Weil at the Medical School at the University of Arizona recommends avoiding this extract in foods. There may be other carcinagens on the company's list of ingredients. I did not examine it in detail. But at this point I had already started using Acqua di Dio regularly. I could find no further details about the contents of this particular fragrance on the Armani website.

They had no further details about the contents of the cologne. So I have decided not to use it, or only use it infrequently. It is too bad because I love this cologne.

Trust the Reviews…

Unfortunately not the real Acqua Di Gio. This was my first time buying fragrance from Walmart and I just assumed that Walmart was having a sale on their cologne, but instead I didn’t realize that Walmart apparently allows any reseller to sell items.This Acqua Di Gio came in the mail perfectly fine, but unfortunately it is a clone/fake. It’s a quite good fake and if you don’t know much about cologne chances are you would like this, but it’s not real. The box and bottle look authentic but the logo print on the bottle is a little off, the atomizer is not the kind that Armani uses for this fragrance, and the smell is first disguised as the real thing, but after it settles smells off and bad. It’s a good clone but it’s not real.
