ACQUA DI GIO - The Aftershave For Him by Giorgio Armani. A light, dinstinguished Eau de Toilette inspired by the fresh sea, warm sun & the richness of the earth. This has been the problem for this fragrance ever since its production and despite numerous reformulations, Armani didn’t manage to make it last longer. Altogether, Acqua Di Gio is a true masterpiece in terms of smell tones and it’s no wonder it’s been a favorite for over 25 years. How Long Does Acqua Di Gio Last?

The sprayer on the bottle of the fake is beige(ish) mat, while on the original, the sprayer goes toward white mat color When you put Acqua Di Gio on your skin you immediately feel the punch in the opening. Its opening is known in the fragrance world as the best opening ever made, because the moment you put it on the skin, milliseconds after you feel the punch of citrus. It doesn’t matter if you are 20 or 50, nor it doesn’t matter if you are a barista or director of the company, you should definitely wear Acqua Di Gio as your everyday fragrance or even office fragrance. Just like with any other fragrance, the opening doesn’t last long, but we believe that Alberto Morillas really wanted to leave a strong first impression – trust us, he did. The fake bottle is a bit more yellow than the original one that’s more bright and has more white tones.People who used this fragrance when it came out and in the first half of the 2000s remember that longevity, sillage, and projection were better, mostly around 5-7 hours. Who knows, maybe Armani decided to slowly push down its own golden goose so he can push newer fragrances up. But that’s up to you to decide. When To Wear Acqua Di Gio? It’s a very complex fragrance, made out of approximately 25 different notes, but perfectly combined which is also the reason why Acqua Di Gio is the top-selling fragrance of all time. All these notes combined are giving this perfect fresh fragrance, but how does it smell chronologically when you put it on?

Since Acqua Di Gio is the best-selling fragrance of all time, it’s completely normal that lots of people out there want to take the piece of the cake by making fake ones.

Either way, just make sure you always get your fragrances from trustworthy sources, as you don’t want to end up scammed, wasting hundreds of dollars for fake perfumes. How To Spot a Fake Acqua Di Gio As far as we are concerned, every man should wear Acqua Di Gio at least once in his lifetime. It’s the signature male scent, women LOVE it, and it just breathes confidence. Basically, Acqua Di Gio is for everyone who is looking to smell good, fresh, and clean during the daytime, running everyday errands, working, or just going out with friends on the beach.

Also, Acqua Di Gio was always a more “private” type of fragrance which means its projection and sillage are moderate. People who come close to you will be able to smell it as the projection is 2-3 feet from you. When it comes to sillage, it lingers in the air moderately, but sillage and project are definitely the best first 30-45 minutes. After that, it’s getting weaker and weaker. On the other hand, if you are thinking is it a day or night fragrance, Acqua Di Gio fits the best during day time. Summer nights are amazing for a bit more musky, aggressive, vanilla fragrances, and that’s most certainly where this perfume is not fitting in. There are some perfumes out there that will nose-rape everyone around you, including you, if you put over the 2 sprays, but that’s not the case with Acqua Di Gio. As it dries down to the base, woody and musky notes are coming to the fore which makes it a perfect combo with dominating jasmine and sea notes. Musk and woods give a clean and calming feeling to the floral scent and it’s just impossible to resist this beautiful smell.Well if your Acqua Di Gio passed all tests above, then you’re likely to enjoy the original liquid, but here are some heads up anyway. Now, this is the only downside of this perfume. Acqua Di Gio has very weak longevity and it lasts anywhere between 2 and 6 hours, depending on your skin. However, if you take this fragrance on the date, there’s a good chance that you will smell like her ex or like her dad, or like her best friend, which can often be a mood killer. You most definitely don’t want to hear “You smell like my dad!”! If you ask for a season, the best time to wear to Acqua Di Gio is definitely summer. This perfume was made to fit the summer vibe, to remind us of the sea, sand, Sun, barefoot beach walking, and warm temperatures.
