The only reason I can think of is to promote the new Acqua Di Gio Eau De Parfum, but still, to me, that doesn’t make any sense as Profumo was still very popular, very different from others, and still had pretty good sales numbers.

My skin reacts amazingly to it, it always opens beautifully, and I get 8 hours of longevity without any problems – depending on the temperature, sometimes even 9+ hours.

The fresh, aquatic, and marine scent will make your days lighter and easier while patchouli and incense notes will give you masculinity and a classy feeling during nights out. As already mentioned I am quite new in the forum and have tested only a few scents compared to many here so far. I smell good (related to the sense of smell), but I'm not yet that good at filtering out individual components. At least not with all fragrances. Notes include: mandarin, bergamot, lavender, marine notes, rosemary, cypress, lentisk, patchouli, musk Update: Profumo has been ‘discontinued’. Meaning, they’ve released a newer Acqua di Gio Parfum, which is basically the same thing, with maybe some slight alterations. I might now be tempted to go with Profondo, as I’ve seen a lot cheaper bottles of that floating around than either Parfum or old bottles of Profumo.

Acqua Di Gio Profumo can be your summer scent as it’s very light, but it can also be your spring scent. Whether you wear it during daytime or nighttime, it doesn’t matter much, because it fits on all occasions – dinner night, office work, whatever!

On average, Acqua Di Gio Profumo lasts for 7-9 hours, depending on your skin. As I’ve mentioned, it’s a very stable scent and longevity doesn’t vary much. Acqua Di Gio Profumo smells like aromatic, fresh, and very masculine scent often reminding of Mediterranean beaches, saltwater, and a classy attitude. It definitely has original Acqua Di Gio DNA, you can clearly smell it and it’s like they a bit of heaviness to it. One of the first flankers of original Acqua di Gio and also one of the most successful ones was Acqua Di Gio Profumo – released in 2015, created by the same master perfumer who made original Acqua Di Gio, but also the king of fresh fragrances – Alberto Morillas. Patchouli is usually used as a note to give earthiness and masculinity and that’s exactly its role in Acqua Di Gio Profumo.

My annual holiday was coming up and every time I fly on holiday I cover up with a new fragrance as a reward. I had 4-5 fragrances in my head that I wanted to get next, but some of them were sceptical if they could be bought at the Duty Free. Düsseldorf Airport has a good choice of fragrances, but it can't get close to Breuninger. "But" I thought to myself, "the Profumo is there for sure." I showed the Profumo to my better half at the airport. She found him megaa. That's how a man's supposed to smell and it smells great. Fresh spicy. ... The opening act of Profumo is laden with bergamot and the salty marine notes. It is darker and has a mysterious quality to it. Also, featuring a incense note that adds a smoky layer to it, as well as a very nice sage. For me, this fragrance certainly has niche character. Price / performance fit perfectly. 100ml for ca.80-90 euros. And the Mattschwarze flacon is a poem. I haven’t seen that it lasts under 7 hours on anyone, so if you’re looking for a good performing scent during spring and summer days, Acqua Di Gio Profumo is your definite go-to. Profondo gives me 7-8 hours before quitting. It comes fairly close to Profumo, but still can’t get the win.However, you can’t really overapply Acqua Di Gio Profumo. If you want “more parts of you” to smell as well, then feel free to add a few more sprays on places like your shoulders and chest (on the shirt).
