Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio Profondo Parfum

Description

Profondo Parfum is the deepest, warmest take on the Profondo idea: still marine, but sweeter, more floral and more resinous. Composed by Alberto Morillas and launched by Giorgio Armani in 2024, it opens on sea notes and green mandarin, moves into a soft mimosa heart, and settles on patchouli and labdanum. Reviewers note that the mineral, salty side of the 2020 Profondo Eau de Parfum has been dialled back in favour of sweeter floral and amber tones, which makes it feel heavier and less airy than its sibling. That is a feature if you want an aquatic for cooler evenings.

How It Differs From Profondo Eau de Parfum

• Profondo Eau de Parfum (2020): cooler and saltier, built on aquozone, cypress, lavender, rosemary and a mineral amber base. The fresher, more office-friendly choice for hot days.
• Profondo Parfum (2024): mimosa in the heart and labdanum in the base make it warmer, sweeter and longer on skin. Better for evenings and the edges of the warm season.

Fragrance Pyramid

• Top: Marine Notes, Green Mandarin
• Heart: Mimosa
• Base: Patchouli, Labdanum

Performance

Longevity: Around 8 hours for many wearers, longer than the Profondo Eau de Parfum.
Sillage: Moderate. Noticeable without crowding anyone.
Projection: About arm's length for the first couple of hours, then closer to the skin.

An honest note: some reviewers find the sweeter, floral-amber drydown heavy for a marine fragrance. If you love Profondo for its salt and freshness, sample this before buying.

FAQ

Is Profondo Parfum the same as Profondo Eau de Parfum?
No. The 2020 Eau de Parfum is saltier and more aromatic. The 2024 Parfum adds mimosa and labdanum, so it is warmer, sweeter and lasts longer.

How long does it last?
Around 8 hours for many wearers, with patchouli and labdanum carrying the drydown.

Is it a summer fragrance?
It works in summer, especially in the evening, but it is richer than most aquatics and also wears well in mild autumn weather.
