Decanted Sample of Acqua Di Gio Profumo by Giorgio Armani

Great scent. Lasts forever

This receives insane amounts of hype, but I'm just not understanding why.  It smells like someone soaked a moss covered log in Aqua Di Gio for 3 days and then bottled it.

If I was in my late or early 20's this probably would have been my go to. Heard it's being discontinued or is and to me not really surprising.

Safe, generic aquatic scent. Not one that wows me. Probably won't wear this often; but it was nice to experience what the hype was about.

ADG Profumo is a one of a kind. It’s a very fresh smelling aquatic scent, that is characterized by the smokiness from the incense. As this dries down, it gets even better. Definitely more mature smelling than the original and ADG Profondo. Also lasts long since it’s a parfum.

One of the most versatile fragrances ever. Can be worn any time, any place, any occasion.

This stuff smells great.  I really like the opening and it dries down awesome too.  It has good longevity on my skin.  MY wife likes it too and it is nice safe scent for the office, or gym, or just anywhere really.

Opens with salty aquatic notes and bergamot, just like the classic Acqua di Gio, before an aromatic heart of sage, rosemary and geranium begin to take over. The dry down is addicting, sweet Incense and patchouli contrast the fresher notes beautifully to create something truly unique.

I don't think many people would dislike this scent. If I asked someone who wasn't into fragrance, they'd probably just say it smells like a "men's cologne" and I would agree. It's a quintessential male scent. Honestly, I struggle to convey the smell. If you've smelled the original, this one is more woody/spicy but not overboard. It can be worn any time of day, any season. My one gripe is I don't get the best longevity or projection. After ~3-4 hours, it becomes a skin scent for me.

My favorite of the Aqua di gio. this one and the original are the best. I don't like all the other one from this line. Mature, sexy, scent. highly recommended.

I like profondo a little more, but profumo is great too! I think it's both fresh and masculine.

Profumo lives up to the hype I’ve heard about it. It certainly adds some dark, rich spicy tones to the AdG line and is a very formidable flanker to the original. I didn’t think much of it when I first applied it but it dries into a beast of a fragrance and I was applauding it. Definitely a keeper.

Loved the first one, hard to tell the difference between the two. But there is a subtle greener difference that I can smell in the beginning. Dry down seems to lean more incense?

Not for me because of the popularity

To my nose, the patchouli really reigns supreme in this fragrance. I think the marketing and color scheme of the bottle may lead some people astray. It is not a “noir” type of fragrance, it is incredibly fresh. Many people describe it smelling like fresh cut grass, and I can definitely see why. This is not a bad fragrance, and definitely worth a try if you like the ADG DNA.

- (8.5/10) adds depth & character warmer, addition to original ADG
- immediately an incense smell(4/10), bitter(5/10), smokey(3/10), amber (5/10)
- amber gives it that warm bite, incense adds the smokiness,
- 20 min later, it smells like original w incense & amber, a warmer scent

I may buy both profumo & profondo b/c i like them equally

I really liked this fragrance. It was the best out of all the different flankers from this one. Really good smell and last a long time. Overall a really good fragrance.

All of the ADG flankers still have that original DNA but Profumo to me is a more mature smell even over the Profondo or Absolu.  Love the woody/patchouli scents in this one.  Wearable anytime and gets good compliments!
