My bottle is on the way. Can't wait. 😊 I loved the original EDT. Only disappointment is that it doesn't lean more towards Essenza. Glad I got the large bottle given the need to overspray.
I hope you´ll enjoy the EdP! The original to me was always only a LIKE. This one to me is more modern, smooth and fresh which is something I enjoy. And yeah I wish it would have been more like essenza, but maybe you're nose feel it is? Please do let me know how you enjoy it when you get it! 😊
Wasn’t really anything special for me, I felt like it’s been done before and people have said the performance is poor. I really enjoy profumo because it’s sweeter and better performance but I just hope like you said, that they release another essenza!
Hey there! Yes, the opening is fantastic and the blend is nice. 👌 I would have loved for the scent itself to be more intense though and the overall performance better.
Peace and love. I tried it this week and enjoyed it although i ended up buying another fragrance for now. Its on my radar as one to buy soon as it appeared to be versatile, inoffensive, somewhat elegant ( in an airy way).
Safe yes. Redundant? If you have a smaller collection then yeah, just going for one of them is probably the better choice since they are in the same 'area'. They are not the same scent though. I enjoy them both and they give me a different wearing experience so I don't think it's too much to own both. 😊
I will try and do a comparison of them soon so I can really compare them in-depth, but even though none are strong, I do think profondo is a bit better in terms of performance. I also feel profondos scent is more nuanced than Acqua Di Gio EdP. I do however think they made it so light, soft and smooth for a reason. I think they wanted to create the new MASS APPEALING Acqua Di Gio that anyone can wear anywhere. And they did exactly that. Like I mention in the video, some people might find this release to be boring or simply not enough. Others will appreciate it for what it is and enjoy it's sort of simplistic and "discrete" kind of scent. In the end we are all different so please do try it if you are interested in it. 😊
@@LeeNguyen12 yes, I believe that's what they were aiming for and that's exactly what they managed to do. They actually took that step with Profondo (an Acqua di Gio favourite of mine) which to me always been a more modern version of the original.
This is so subjective and it all depends on how YOU feel about a scent. If you LOVE the EdP then yeah.. :) Like I mentioned in the video, the OG is NOT my favourite.. It does smell good but not my favourite. I do love essenza and profondo though. This to me is almost like a blend of the OG (Without the stuff I did not enjoy) and essenza and it's all done in a modern way. I like it a lot even though it is a bit on the soft side. With that said.. You will most likely be perfectly fine with what you have. Profondo is an amazing scent and will do a great job on making anyone smell fresh and nice.
@@calvintlooke993 Hi! I think most of them are sort of in the same ballpark when it comes to the performance.. Profondo is NOT a strong scent and I usually overspray with that one as well. Profumo on me is sort of the same. I know some people say it's super strong but It's never been super strong on my skin. Even though they might perform better on your skin I would not expect any of them to be have a strong projection. I always overspray both 😊
I don’t think so. These companies make way too many flankers and most if not all have performance issues. They should have left the og as it was with good performance instead of all these flankers that all smell alike anyway
I want a ADG for my small collection, heard many great things about Profumo, but since I can't find it anywhere and the EDP doesn't have a good performance, I think I will go for profondo.
@@rottenrebels I just don’t like the scent and for me personally, I cannot find any relationship to the Aqua di gio line. I was expecting something else, mainly because they named it ADG EDP and didn’t give it a special name as other flankers (Profumo, Profondo , Essenza, Absolu) - I was just expecting a similar but better take on the original.
@@TomerShtein Thanks for sharing Tomer! I think there will be 2 "camps" when it comes to the new Acqua Di Gio EdP. One who feels it's too far away from the original, thus not enjoying it.. The other camp is the ones who like it for what it is and enjoy it being something new-ish. 😊 I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on it! Have a fab weekend!
I’m still waiting for these fragrance companies to make a cologne that has great performance. Guess this is also a pass. It’s like they are afraid to make potent fragrances so people won’t be offended. Hence all the skin scents
Hi! Yes, I do believe Armani wanted the 2022 version of Acqua di Gio to be VERY safe and VERY Mass appealing. And this is that. And it's really for someone who wants something that is on the soft side with a clean, smooth and fresh vibe.
Maybe but to be honest almost all fragrances today are safe and hardly project. And if there are fragrances that project well, they only do so for a very short time before becoming a skin scent. And reformulation is rampant. Some fragrances, Sauvage for example, when it came out in 2015, performed like a beast. I repurchased it in 2019 and I could tell right off the bat that it had been diluted. Good projection for about half hour, then it’s reduced to a skin scent
Hey man have you ever tried Ultra Male by Jean Paul Gaultier? It is the longest lasting and beast mode for projection out of any cologne I've ever had. It smells great and lasts for days. No joke
I think it's the way the marine notes come across that reminds me a bit of the original. So while I can pick up a bit of the original in this one, it's not too strong and it's definitely NOT very close to it. That is Something I feel is a positive thing since the original Acqua di Gio to me always only been a "like" and not a love.
It's good enough, but only if you are looking for a smooth, fresh and more modern version of the original 😉 Even though I feel this is a safe blind buy I do recommend trying it first simply because I know there are people out there who will feel it's not strong enough or unique enough.. So try before you buy (if you can) 😊 For me, this one comes with me on my next beach vacation which I hope will be very soon 😊⛱️☀️
@@balcoz2004 who’s sarcastic? I asked in the video how (the viewer) feels about the scent.. and you answered. And I thanked you for sharing how you felt about the scent. 👍
@@rottenrebels Alright then sorry, your positivity threw me off on my harsh comment so I thought u were joking, but that's honestly how I feel with this one. Guess we just have different noses.
@@balcoz2004 I think this is a release that will be 50% praised and 50% totally destroyed in terms of how people feel about it. A lot of people will think it's boring, generic or super weak. And I understand that. I even mention that in my review of it. And that's all ok. My first reaction to it was a bit underwhelming. But I do dig my nose deep into a scent for every single review and the more I sniffed it the more I enjoyed it. Right now I enjoy it for what it is: a very mass appealing (most people who will smell it in the air will enjoy it), clean, modern, smooth and safe scent that smells great if I overspray it. It's for those warm summer days when I want something light, fresh and clean"ish" on me. In the end we are all different and enjoy different things in different kinds of scents. 😊 I appreciate your feedback on this and future reviews. Good or bad as long as they are polite😉Keep them coming! Have a fab day Balcoz!
Have you tried the NEW Acqua Di Gio Eau de Parfum (2022) fragrance for men? Do you like it? Or do you prefer the original?
Excellent review. I got my bottle on Friday, smells amazing and very good performance 6-8 hours.
Thank you, and thanks for sharing! 🙏 Glad you enjoy it, the new AdG EdP is for sure a nice release!! 😊
Great just randomly searched this up and you just posted it!! I always buy the new Acqua di gio when I run out! Always buy the 2.5 when I’m sale

ahh Essenza.. Don't get me started on that one.. LOVE IT! 😉
Hi good explanation 👌👋 where I can bye this one any company or place in particular. Thanks
Love the opening, reminds me of H24 by Hermes. The performance is somewhat lacking though, at least compared to the other flankers from the line.
Hey there! Yes, the opening is fantastic and the blend is nice. 👌
I would have loved for the scent itself to be more intense though and the overall performance better.
Thanks for the video! Had a decant recently and I really liked it. Is this the 75ml ?
Keep it up awesome review👍Profondo lights is my favorite of the house..
Thank you Chris!! I picked up profondo lights recently and really enjoy it as well.. Gotta do a comparison between them two soon 😊
Peace and love. I tried it this week and enjoyed it although i ended up buying another fragrance for now. Its on my radar as one to buy soon as it appeared to be versatile, inoffensive, somewhat elegant ( in an airy way).
Whats your opinion about Profumo? I think that is the best flanker
I really like it! It's definitely one of the better AdG flankers and I really enjoy that it goes in a different direction 😊🙌
Would you purchase this over profondo? I already own Profumo and didn’t want it to be redundant
Dont miss todays video 😉
How many sprays do you suggest? Thanks
Man, I really want this one, smells great. I have Profondo and love that one , is it safe to have both ?
Safe yes. Redundant? If you have a smaller collection then yeah, just going for one of them is probably the better choice since they are in the same 'area'. They are not the same scent though.
I enjoy them both and they give me a different wearing experience so I don't think it's too much to own both. 😊
@@rottenrebels Thank you, much appreciated. This really helps.
Will buy this one for sure!
I already have Profumo and Profondo so this will prob be a pass but it def sounds like I’d like it. Your reviews are always on point
Thanks Mo! I appreciate it 😊🙏Profumo and Profondo are both GREAT so you are all set there 😄👌
I've got Essenza, Profundo and Profumo so I think this is a pass for me!
With those 3 you are pretty much covered! Especially essenza which is as the TOP when it comes to summer scents! ☀️⛱️
Thank you brother, excellent review, well done. I done have it amigo 😎 God bless 🙏
Thank you!! 😊🙏
@Rebel What is your favourite AdG?
I can't wait to get this one!! Thanks R.R.!! Give S.S. a kiss for me please :)
Love the orange juicy note on the opening and really enjoy the dry down. Profondo was just not for me.
Thanks for sharing 😊 Acqua di gio edp = 👌
That orange in the opening was what made me buy it...
How do you compare it with Profondo? Which is better in the scent and perfomance?
I will try and do a comparison of them soon so I can really compare them in-depth, but even though none are strong, I do think profondo is a bit better in terms of performance. I also feel profondos scent is more nuanced than Acqua Di Gio EdP.

@@rottenrebels maybe the OG is outdated nowaday, so they wanna make a replacement with ADG DNA but more modern 🤷🏻♂️ maybe
@@LeeNguyen12 yes, I believe that's what they were aiming for and that's exactly what they managed to do. They actually took that step with Profondo (an Acqua di Gio favourite of mine) which to me always been a more modern version of the original.
Fast as the lightning! 🙌🏻
YES!!!!!!!!!! 👌
I own the original, profumo, and profondo. Is the edp necessary?
This is so subjective and it all depends on how YOU feel about a scent. If you LOVE the EdP then yeah.. :)

How is the performance and projection of profondo? And how does it compare to profumo?

The edp has great performance bro maybe don’t sissy spray and you will get a great performance
@@Flamma777 I do like 7 sprays

Your thoughts on Acqua di gio EDP? Like it?
@@rottenrebels More dense than original. I like it.🙂

Armani Code Absolu lasts almost too long. Its a monster.
I had a bpi bottle which was a beast. When Puig took it over it was diluted. No good for me. A good clone of jpgum is Afnan 9pm
Is there any similarities with the edt version?

@@rottenrebels not yet😢
The product is not sold in my country, can't find it anywhere to smell it 😫
Oh.. Have you tried different online outlets to see if you can find it there instead?
@@rottenrebels I have bleu de Chanel, but it a month I will need a new fragrance, so hopefully it will arrive.
Anything that doesn’t perform I straight pass on. Thanks for the review.
Thank you! 🙏I'm usually the same, but it all depends on the scent.. If like the scent enough I´ll enjoy it and compensate with a lot of sprays.
This is too expensive for performance issues. Such a shame.
@@jdmb03 Agreed mate. If it was a cheapie I’d let it slide...
Looks like I'll go with Profondo if I buy another ADG.
Hey John! Profondo smells amazing and it’s one that I believe most people cant go wrong with.. so good choice 👍
