Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Parfum

Acqua di Giò Parfum is the 2023 Parfum concentration of Giorgio Armani’s best-known aquatic for men, credited by Parfumo to Alberto Morillas. It keeps the marine-bergamot signature of the line but sets it on a darker, aromatic base of clary sage, frankincense and patchouli.

Acqua di Giò Parfum at a glance

• Fragrance style: aquatic aromatic with a resinous incense base.
• Best for: daily wear, the office, dates and warm evenings.
• Recommended seasons: spring, summer and autumn.
• Character: fresh, mineral and more grown-up than the classic Acqua di Giò.

What does Acqua di Giò Parfum smell like?

The opening pairs a salty marine accord with Calabrian bergamot and a touch of ginger, so the freshness reads crisp and slightly spicy rather than sweet.

The heart turns herbal: clary sage and rosemary bring an aromatic, almost barbershop dryness, with Bourbon geranium adding a green, slightly rosy facet.

The base is what defines the Parfum: frankincense and Guatemalan patchouli over woods give a smoky, resinous depth that the Eau de Toilette does not have.

Best seasons to wear it

• Summer: its main season; apply lightly in strong heat.
• Autumn: the incense base carries it into cooler days.
• Winter: possible indoors, but other scents suit cold weather better.
