Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio Profondo EDP

Description

Acqua di Gio Profondo EDP is the deep, marine-aromatic evolution of Armani's beach-day icon, cooler, drier, and more grown-up than the original.

Composed by perfumer Alberto Morillas for Giorgio Armani and launched in 2020, Profondo swaps the sun-on-skin brightness of classic Acqua di Gio for a saltier, mineral aquatic wrapped in cypress, lavender and patchouli. Reviewers consistently describe it as a versatile, clean-but-serious fresh scent that wears like a sharper, more sophisticated cousin of the original Acqua di Gio.

Scent Character

• Fresh: 40%
• Woody: 25%
• Sweet: 15%
• Floral: 10%
• Smoky-Resinous: 10%

Translation: a cool, salty-marine opening over green citrus, grounded by aromatic herbs and an earthy, resinous patchouli-amber base, fresh first, quietly woody underneath.

Fragrance Pyramid

Top: Aquozone, Bergamot, Brazilian Green Mandarin Orange

Heart: Mastic (Lentisque) Absolute, Cypress, Lavender, Rosemary

Base: Mineral Amber, Musk, Guatemala Patchouli

Performance

Longevity: Moderate-to-strong. Most wearers report roughly 6–8 hours of wear, with the salty-mineral and patchouli base lasting longest. A minority find it fades faster on skin, which is typical for fresh aquatics.

Sillage: Moderate, noticeable in the first few hours, then settling into a closer, skin-friendly aura rather than a room-filling cloud.

Projection: Confident up close; this is a refined fresh fragrance, not a beast-mode projector.

FAQ

Is this the same fragrance as the original Acqua di Gio?
No. Profondo is a separate, deeper and more aromatic-marine interpretation. It is cooler, saltier and woodier than the classic Acqua di Gio, with a drier, more refined dry-down.

How long does Acqua di Gio Profondo last?
Most wearers get around 6–8 hours, with the mineral-amber and patchouli base lingering longest. Performance can vary by skin type, as with most fresh aquatics.

Is it good for office or daily wear?
Yes. It is clean, versatile and inoffensive, making it an excellent everyday and business-appropriate scent, especially in warm weather.

Why buy a sample instead of a full bottle?
A decant lets you wear the genuine fragrance for several days and decide if it earns a place in your collection before committing to a full bottle.
