🌊 Fragrance Profile and Notes
A refined, intense interpretation of the classic Acqua di Gio DNA:
- Top Notes: Marine accord blended with vibrant bergamot and green mandarin, plus a hint of ginger—clean, crisp, and invigorating
- Heart Notes: Aromatic clary sage, rosemary, and geranium bring a fresh, green complexity
- Base Notes: Rich patchouli, warm incense (olibanum), and subtle tonka/amber produce an enduring, woody foundation
Overall, it’s a fresh aquatic-aromatic scent with a polished, modern edge and deeper, smoky‑woody undertones in the dry-down.
🕰 Performance & Projection
- Longevity: Outstanding—typically 8 to 10+ hours on skin. Many users report over 9 hours, and clothes can retain the scent even longer
- Projection: Strong in the first 2–4 hours, then settles into a moderate “scent bubble” around you, without becoming overpowering
- Sillage: Moderate to strong initially—noticeable yet refined
🎯 Use Case & Audience
- Versatility: Suitable for day or night, in all seasons (especially spring/summer, but equally great in cooler weather thanks to its woody base)
- Occasions: Ideal for professional environments, casual daytime wear, or even evening events—balanced, confident, and crowd‑pleasing
- Age Group: Suits a wide range—25 and older, perceived as sophisticated without being stuffy or over-the-top .
