Decanted Sample of Acqua Di Gio Profondo EDP by Giorgio Armani

Nice aquatic fresh smell. Good for summer

When I first initially sprayed this one I thought ehhh... Another Aquatic/Clean scent and nothing special. The longer I let this one sit on my skin the nicer it got. I will say the dry down on this one is pretty NICE! Not a must have, but is fairly good.

Fresh, clean, and aquatic. Maybe slightly overpriced.

Grab a sample! Might not be for everyone but you won’t know till you try!

Great versatile aquatic scent. Not overly formal but also not overly casual. I dig it.

Stays true to the original ADG but with added depth and performance. Really great.

This isn’t just the best flanker. It is, in my opinion, the best scent released by the Armani house in its history. An ocean breeze with a perfect balance of tame musk and salt. A fantastic everyday wear.

Definitely prefer the aquatic notes in this compared to what's in ADGs Absolu. There's a sweetness(?) that I pick up between the two, but with the Profondo it eventually simmers down.

This is the best fresh scent ive smelt

The fragrance is brilliant…but it doesn’t last.  Wish it had better staying power.

I bought 4 decants from Decant House and this one is my favorite by far.  Very nice scent.

I loved this fragrance, gonna pick up the other samples of acqua de Gio.

The dna here is absolutely classic. It’s a slightly more aquatic version of the original. This fragrance could work for almost everyone everytime. It’s something you could easily gift to someone and rest assured knowing they will enjoy it. For the same reason it’s safe it also lacks character. Nonetheless it smells quite nice.

Very versatile. Smells modern and yet classic. Can dress up or down. Great aquatic scent with a slight mineral note.

It is a nice and versatile scent.

This is pleasant overall, but I personally didn't care for the saltiness.  Don't get me wrong, it is pleasant and nice in the summer, but personally I would pick one of the other ADG flankers over this. or the original.

Can’t go wrong with this scent this is classic

Great stuff. One of my favorite fragrances

It's hard to go wrong with this one. Very versatile as far as occasions, has been pairing well with warmer evening wear. A unique and improved take on an already classic DNA. See no reason not to have this on hand.

The bottle gives it away. Its a blue Acqua di Gio. Its great just like everything else in the in line and my absolute favorite in the line. About 6 to 7 hours on my skin. It's really good, but just understand it's a blue aquatic

Smells like mineral rocks from the deep blue sea with citruses & a refreshing green touch in the middle. Reminds me of a refined bolder Chrome Extreme.

To my nose, the entire ADG line smells extremely similar. I've gone back and forth between Profondo and Profumo. Profumo is slightly less spicy/woody and leans more fresh/aquatic. I don't have a strong preference for either. They're both versatile, male scents that the vast majority of people you come across will have no issues with. I don't think it's a WOW scent, but absolutely a workhorse you could rely on in any situation.

This is a nice alternative to the Purfumo...which I also like.  It is a bit less "musky" but still solid Acqua Di Gio DNA.

The classic DNA with a sea breeze twist. Great flanker, perfect for warm weather. A fresh mass appealing masculine aquatic scent.

Wow I absolutely love this fragrance, probably the best I’ve tried yet! This flanker will be remembered 20 years down the line just watch!!

Great versatile fragrance. Will definitely be buying a full bottle.

It's a very nice fragrance. It has the original DNA of the ADG but more complex. This is definitely the wife's favorite. I think its a safe blind buy.

Just a bit stronger.

A bright and long-lasting fresh scent. Overall, I prefer profumo but whereas that one is good for night, profondo is perfect for summer days.

-  overall (8/10).  It has a bit more depth/warmth than original ADG
- immediately smells a bit warmer than original ADG, fresh(5/10), aquatic(5/10), green (5/10), citrus (4/10), alcoholly(3/10), earthy (3/10),
- 10 min,  lighter than profumo & warmer/earthier than ADG original
- 20 min better than original, or atleast as good.
5 hrs later scent is still there, dry down is strong enough to notice
- careful with too many sprays, this is an intense cologne.
