Acqua Di Gio Pour Homme

I like the scent. It comes off very clean and fresh. The sweetness is not overpowering and its an overall subtle summer fragrance...but too subtle. I have tried my normal skin, hydrated skin with lotion, and skin with Vaseline. No method has provided me with longevity beyond 30 to 45 minutes. There is little to no projection. I applied 4 sprays before work, went to lunch with my gf and sprayed another 3 or 4 sprays before meeting her, and she said she couldnt smell anything unless she got close to me. It is such a shame that it lacks performance because the scent is the perfect fresh/summer scent. If you want the same vibe with better performance, id suggest D&G Light Blue Eau Intense EDP. Its a bit more fresh spicy but the overall application is the same.

Been wearing this for YEARS. Even with the most recent reformulation, it's still a timeless classic. My old man still wears it, my late uncle wore the hell out of this, and now I wear it a LOT. This is the definitive aquatic freshie as far as I'm concerned, the scent is just so approachable, one of the most office and blind buy safe options ever. Longevity is meh, 4-6 hours in normal heat, less in high heat and humidity, but just buy cheap and respray! Totally worth it.

I posted a review below 5 years ago where I said I didn't like it because of some pungent aroma in the composition (because of the floral notes). Here I am posting another review after trying and acquiring the latest 2024 formulation. They took out the stinky floral notes, leaned more into the sea breeze and citrus notes, and now it's a scent that I love. Crisp and versatile, I'm gonna use this a lot in high heat, which is most of the year where I live :D

Smells more citrusy than aquatic, and it's a nice fresh scent that lasts more than four hours in high heat and humidity. It begins as a pleasant lemon citrus and stays a citrus after dry down, which is nice. I wear this and Cool Water often, as I live in Florida's year-round summer. At only around $16 US for a bottle, Cool Water is the clear winner of the two scents if you're looking for an aquatic freshy though it's not as complex.

The lime and citrus took a backseat while the aquatic notes stepped ahead. This fragrance is soapy, fresh and slightly powdery, all without smelling like a detergent or cleaning product. It smells like I just washed my face with my favorite soap; it's light, airy, and mass-appealing. Acqua Di Gio lasts 2-3 hours on my skin, but I am more than pleased to reapply it because the scent is so simple and enjoyable.
