The performance of the Absolu is a beast, I testedit on spring season and was a totally different experience, really liked it. But the Profumo is a winner absolutley!
Absolu is severely underrated. One of my favorite scents. For those one the fence, I do think "a mix between One Million & Invictus" is a very good comparison. Just smells great!
I agree, Absolut is my second favorite after Pour Homme. Profumo smells like an old man for my taste, too peppery which recedes the dominating fresh scent away from the unique DNA that smells like the ocean, which makes it smell too spicy and antiquated, not modern, sophisticated, and deliciously fresh IMO.
Agreed. I have Profumo, have had the original and by far my favorite is Absolu. It is the perfect cozy date night scent that is very intimate and is going to have your date leaning in. My girlfriend cannot get enough of this one lol.
Profondo is the farthest thing from Dior Sauvage lol.. I think most would agree with that. It might smell good layered with it, but the scents are on way different wave lengths and styles.
Scott Kelly Not sure why Savauge gets so much positive feedback. I wear it and nothing but negative comments. My partner loves Johnny Depp but hates when i put on Savauge. She goes nuts over Hot Water by Davidoff. I know, crazy right.
Chris Spain honestly I’ve had the same experience with the regular one. After a long day I’ll think it’s gone and I lie down in bed and I can smell it, it smells the best like that
I get it when you say Profondo is boring, but for me, as someone who has a very small collection, it's just perfect. I don't own Sauvage but I own Luna Rossa Carbon, and I think it's OK to have both. As for Absolu, it lasts and projects LOADS on my skin. I have yet to try Profumo and the og.
I agree. Profumo is by far the best one in my book as well. I can't wrap my head around the decision to discontinue it. 😱 I'm going to have to savor every drop I have in my current bottle.
To be honest I do like the smell of them all but I would say Profumo is my favorite. I think they all smell good in my opinion, I would totally spray the original anyday, it's so pleasing to me. I do like absolu but just never added it to my collection but I almost liked it enough to buy it. I would totally buy Profumo over them all.
Love the Profumo get mad compliments with it. Still want to buy the Profundo I smelled it at Dillard’s didn’t really like it but I didn’t like Profumo at first till I started wearing it.
The Original ADG and Absolu were my first fragrances I ever bought, in Father’s Day gift packs. Both are amazing, still have a bit of Absolu left and save it for special occasions.
Remember these are fragrance snobs. Take their reviews with a grain of salt. It is their opinion at the end, but I think Profondo is great, bought a backup bottle in case of reformulations.
Josephine is great, but she's a snob and a bit biased towards darker scents because her taste is just superior at this point, so all these blue generic fragrances won't impress her, which is understandable. However, people are not into fragrances that are hard to like.
I love how she pronounces everything in French, even Italian words. I always come here to get the actual pronunciations, I could listen to her for hours
Qu'est ce que tu racontes....elle met une vitesse en accent anglais à la majorité de chez nous (français). Écoute François Hollande...là t'auras ta prononciation en français de chaque mot anglais.
Acqua Di Gio Essenza by far is the best flanker of the line! Why they would discontinue it is beyond me. Thank God I purchased enough backup bottles to last me a lifetime. 👍🏾🇦🇺
Except old batches will get oxidized over time. You should get profondo, the dry down is exactly like Essenza. I have both and I can’t tell the difference in the drydown.
Absolu will last for more than a day. The woody smell is what I like. Didn't regret buying one bit. The original Acqua di Gio is still my favorite, so fresh and everyday wear.
Profundo is tops according female audience who rated it on the streets against several others. Also depends on skin and natural maxculine scent, i suggest spray a teste on your wrist and smell it upon first spray and then about 30 min later. Good channel bravo!
Out of the Acqua Di Gio line, the Profumo is the one I own and it's amazing. It's such a masculine, dark yet keeping that freshness and it's a compliment magnet. The best in the line imho. I agree with you 100%! Keep up the great content. Love from Costa Rica ❤️
Been wearing Acqua Di Gio Profumo by Giorgio Armani for last two years and it's the best I had. It's my all time favorite and got the most compliments wearing it. I occasionally wear Versace tho but not often.
I Just found your Channel and am so PLEASED. I Love the way you describe each Fragrance and I must admit I have just got the Profumo, and WOW..!! Going to see some of your other Videos. Merci Beaucoup or Thank You Very Much, You are an Absolute Pleasure to Watch and Listen to. Merci Xx
Absolu is gorgeous, it is a warmer, cozy feel good fragrance, the drydown is fabulous, dont get me wrong i love most of the line for freshies, but absolu is so underrated.
I love this woman, she's so authentic and senstivie about being honest, greetings from poland, keep up good content. Maybe try new 2022 adg its ok imo 50 % old dna and 50 % essenza. Smells good but nothing ground braking
Thank you alot. I couldnt go shopping because of the corona lockdown and i needed to know which one smells the best, but still has the "dna" of the original one.
I have AdG Profundo and the original, I've tested Profundo and prefere by far Profundo. In my small collection is the best all around perfume I own. Love it, it has character, dimension, masculinity, just my cup of tee.
El frasco de Profumo da sensación de solidez, es fuerte, y la tapa imantada está buenísima porque queda en la posición correcta, está parcialmente imantada por lo que se gira sola si uno la pone desalineada.
only have Profundo because I was lazy when reading the description of my purchase, and did not know about Profondo until after I had made the purchase. I decided not to cancel the order, and my curiosity won me over. I DO like this scent and though Profumo is my favorite, i think they both have a place in my collection. If i may, to those who want to buy themselves Acqua Di Gio Profumo, keep in mind that there have been reformulations as of somewhere around 2020. I recommend holding out for a batch from 2015-2019. I just bought a Profumo replacement when mine ran out, (2022 batch) and the first thing I noticed was a much weaker scent coming off of the atomizer. Literally my EMPTY bottle lets off a stronger scent than the new one after a test spray. I was lucky enough to find a brand new 2015 batch on eBay. Hopefully this is helpful.
I disagree about Absolu. The dry down is nicer than the opening but I like it. Have worn it to work many times in warmer weather and works well. Very pleasant and unoffensive once it's dried down as it balances out a bit and isn't THAT sweet. I get decent longevity too. It's all subjective tho 😊
got the same on profondo... first thought was „boring“ but it gets interessting and pleasing. and i think the scent bubble smells better than if you smell it directly on your skin
I own most of the line and absolute is by far my most complimented by women and it lasts 10 or 12 hours on my skin by far the longest of any of the line. Profondo is my favorite although I can't hardly smell it after 2 hours, it kind of dries down to a clean skin scent, but I still get complimented on it four or five hours in so apparently it's leaving a scent trail, and I don't find it remotely close to Dior sauvage.
Profondo lasts on my cloths for a week, literally. And the dry down smells exactly like ADG essenza. The opening is kinda off putting but the dry down is the best out of all of them in terms of keeping in line with the ADG dna.
I cudn't decide between getting profoundo or profoumo but thankfully u've cleared dat doubt!!! I heard excellent talk about essenza as well howeva its discontinued!
It definitely is. I like Profundo too, but Profumo is so sexy its like a womanizer in a bottle. Profundo is more of a sporty daytime scent, while Profumo is an elegant evening date type of scent.
@@r.maj.7065 I was born in 1985 and grew up in L.A. I remember many guys at school wearing the original ADG, Issey Miyake, Polo Sport, Cool Water, Chrome, CK Escape, Givenchy Insence Ultramarine and other 90's aquatics. To me Profumo smells identical to the vintage ADG from back then, but with just a touch of incense. Same with Profundo, it reminds me of the vintage but with a lot more ambroxan.
I used Acqua di Gio during my university days and got a lot of compliments, but with the years I started to feel it was just not for me, Profumo appeared to save my life, since it is like the mature version of AdG, and compliments came back immediatly
Adg Traditional: Classy, timeless, versatile . Adg Profume: A masterpiece. Adg Absolu: A mix with Allure HSE Extreme. Tonka bean + Aldehydes opening. Great performance and lots of compliments. Adg Profondo: super synthetic mess. Herbal, the bottle should be green. A mix of Profumo+Absolu+Joop Slash+L&B Intense. Above average performance.

The only problem I've found with my Profumo, is that it fades in an hour. I don't go nose blind to it because Ive asked othera to smell my shirt and wrist and "it very feint but nice" like uhhh nah when I spray it it's heavenly but after just a bit it dies. Idk 🤷♂️
I agree, personally I used Acqua di Gio original for 15 year, in spite look for a replacement, what happens when I found AG Profumo, It is all you said.
So glad you did this one...was gonna blind buy the Profundo but I already have Sauvage and would be disappointed...plus I have the Profumo as well and yes, it’s tha bomb
@@chasepotter2376 Yes, you are right. I was a little disappointed that she made that comparison. I own both and that thought would have never crossed my mind.
Smell is definitely subjective because to me Profumo is by and far the worst in the line. It gives me a terrible headache and smells like an old man. Both Absolu and Profondo are better, more youthful fragrances. For whatever reason the fragrance community loves to hate on Absolu but it’s baller status.
Have you smelled ADG Essenza? I absolutely love Acqua Di Gio Essenza. So dissapointed to know that it was discontinued. I didnt know until i went to buy another bottle last two month. I only used it on special nights. Every single person smelled it and they complimented me for the smell and loved it. Also It drove the ladies crazy. I found two bottle online. Was excited and bought them. I opened them. As i opened the box i suddenly got skeptical of the authenticity of the product. From the print and the smell. It smell less strong then the one i had. I realized it was second degree from the original. F********k
Profondo is the best imo....since it is a new release most people or online reviewers are not ready to accept the truth, it has a better performance ,projection ,sill and smell expensive.
Honestly , the pronounciation is best available on youtube. A small request from your new subscriber as for Acqua di Gio Profumo , is it better to buy EDP or Perfume ? I hope you can comment .
Please do a review of the Penhaligon Portraits collection. I think the names, bottles and stories are fascinating. I have recently sampled a few and interested in your thoughts.
The original is such an epic freshie that has outlived a whole lot of major releases -for over 2 decades. The rosemary note is my favorite key player in the blend, which was sorely missed in the discontinued Essenza. Now, AdG Profumo really stepped up the game by bringing back -not only rosemary, but also some heftiness, by the added incense. Two enthusiastic thumbs up -one for AdG Profumo, and one for Jus de Rose. Mi cariño y aprecio, Ricardo.
Thank you Ricardo! You have such an incredible knowledge of fragrances and it's always interesting to get your perspective on fragrances. Have a great start to the week!
Ok so i am new to the fragrance game. So far i have Versace Eros, D&G light blue and intenso, Chrome by azzarus i think lol, Parfum De Marly Pegasus and Percival, L’Homme by Prada, Halloween Man X, Nautica Voyage, Versace Eau Frache, Polo blue, and i just ordered Acqua di Gio profondo instead of profumo and after watching this video i am now worried…
i´ve used the original Acqua di Gio since the 90´s i´m 45 just bought Absolu and Profumo love them and can be found to a price where everyone can buy it without getting poor however looked up Acqua di Gio Profundo damn thats expensive still out of the 3 i have i prefer the original
Call me a fool or a philistine but I think I recently, accidentally, discovered a layering idea that I really like a lot. I only discovered Fragrantica and ebay decants about 5 months ago and decided to proceed with a little course in the mystical arts of perfumery, having largely been lapsed on the subject since my youth, and then with only limited experience (ADG, Eau d'Issey, Polo Sport, Hugo 'Hugo', Code a little later... you're probably guessing the time-frame correctly). It was a welcome new fad for me and a little distraction from some of the miseries of lockdown. Anyway, for one thing, I fell madly in love with Fahrenheit, at 1st huff (it was like 'where have you been all my life?). One day I sprayed some on the wrists and back of one hand (better to keep smelling the scent, periodically, as it dries down) and I thought 'why does that smell different and maybe even a little bit better, than I remember'? It was probably because I still had the fading remnants of ADG on those spots from about 4 hours prior and the fresh, wet spray of the Fahrenheit had re-awoken it and combined with the notes of the little bits of ADG that was still left. It added a light, zingy, fresh, floral pep to the violet, patchouli and other notes in the Fahrenheit and sort of lifted it into being something a little bit different. Not in a nauseatingly floral way (I don't really like Rose notes, for example, sorry ;-) but in a very fresh and uplifting way. To me, anyway. I really, really liked it and couldn't stop smelling my hand. Is ADG popular amongst layerers? Please tell me if you think I must be mad, or a frag-newbie fruit-loop. Preferably after trying it yourself, if you happen to be the owner of both. But feel free to blind-browbeat me, too, if you think I've committed some kind of fragrance related faux pas (bearing in mind that I never really meant it, in the first place), ha.
I sprayed Fahrenheit on my shirt and the next day wore it and sprayed Perry Ellis 360 Red which smells similar to ADG. And it was a great scent. I agree both ADG and Fahrenheit can be layered !
Hi… never concern much for Aqua Di gio( original) or pay much regard toward Sauvage, I guess due to the popularity. But can’t wait to hear your input on new Aqua Di gio eau de parfum. As always: Thanks….sss….
AQdG Profumo was one of the first fragances in my collection... and that day I still have very present was when I smelled Pegasus 😳😞 and that would be the last time 😒😅. AQdG Profumo has an amazing performance I wear it afternoon and nights, not much right now for the covid situation, but is one the most perfect fragances ever made for summer nights and works for other seasons of the year.
Lovely video, Josephine! I have ADG Profundo, and I agree with you completely on it. In the dry down, it rounds out and becomes smoother. It’s definitely a modern take on the original, any occasion, and definitely has the legs for colder weather. On me, it’ll last til the next day and it’ll stay on my shirt til I wash it. However, ADG Profondo smelled like tiger balm when I first sniffed it a couple of years ago from the bottle so I overlooked it. Think I should give it another chance and test it?
@@jusderose Hey Josephine! So now I'm totally in love with ADG Profumo lol. It took me a few more wears to understand this fragrance, but now I get it and own a bottle alongside my Profondo thanks to your recommendation. Thanks again!
Love these kind of honest, and straight to the point reviews! My husband has the original, and it is so easy to wear and nice in the hot weather, but like you said, so easily gone. Profumo will be my christmasgift for him🤗🌹 - thank you for the great review!❤️
The original Acqua di Gio seemed to last all day on me. I did also spray a tiny bit on my clothes. Just ordered a new bottle, they better not have changed the formula! I am intrigued by Profumo version as I like incense and patchouli. Going to try it. Thanks for the advice.
Nice video. You have to like incence to like Profumo. For me Profundo is better but as you said it is similar to DS so I keep looking for more niche fragrances ...
I bought Profumo and soon after half the town was pregnant. Now all my money goes to diapers and formula. Thanks a lot Jus de Rose.
🤣
Hahaha 😂😂😂
Lmao bought it a few minutes ago. I used profondo these days, but im not satisfied
Profumo is the number 1 and a compliment getter
💀😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The performance of the Absolu is a beast, I testedit on spring season and was a totally different experience, really liked it. But the Profumo is a winner absolutley!
For me, since two years ago, Profumo is my favorite marine and nocturnal fragrance. 👌🏻👌🏻
I'd say the competition for best fresh scent is ADG Profumo vs YSL Y EDP
Absolu is severely underrated. One of my favorite scents. For those one the fence, I do think "a mix between One Million & Invictus" is a very good comparison. Just smells great!
I went to the mall and smelt the absolu . i sprayed it on my skin after it settled was the best cologne i have ever smelt. Definetly gonna grab it
I agree. I just bought it.
I agree, Absolut is my second favorite after Pour Homme. Profumo smells like an old man for my taste, too peppery which recedes the dominating fresh scent away from the unique DNA that smells like the ocean, which makes it smell too spicy and antiquated, not modern, sophisticated, and deliciously fresh IMO.
Absolu is absolutely my favorite Acqua Di Gio ! And i must say it's quite a compliment getter as well
Agreed. I have Profumo, have had the original and by far my favorite is Absolu. It is the perfect cozy date night scent that is very intimate and is going to have your date leaning in. My girlfriend cannot get enough of this one lol.
Profundo for summer spring
Porfumo for winter and evening/night
Can't go wrong.
Profondo is the farthest thing from Dior Sauvage lol.. I think most would agree with that. It might smell good layered with it, but the scents are on way different wave lengths and styles.
Personally, I feel she might have used a different perfume. I have all the flankers and Profundo is the worst performer and only good for summers.
No where close to savauge, no pepper note added to Profondo which is extremely prominent in savauge
To me Profondo is a softer, younger Percival. I like it, while I'm not a big fan of Sauvage.
Sauvage is old news. Everyone wears it. Played out....
Scott Kelly Not sure why Savauge gets so much positive feedback. I wear it and nothing but negative comments. My partner loves Johnny Depp but hates when i put on Savauge. She goes nuts over Hot Water by Davidoff. I know, crazy right.
Absolu lasts extremely long on me. I can still smell it on my skin after more than 12 hours
Chris Spain honestly I’ve had the same experience with the regular one. After a long day I’ll think it’s gone and I lie down in bed and I can smell it, it smells the best like that
same. It lasts very long. But i really dont like the scent of it tho
@@monkeyatschool99 which one ?

Profondo is the best flanker of Original ADG in my opinion. After Essenza
You did a wonderful job of not only describing the scents but what situation or what person they may fit well with. Very nicely done.
Thanks for the kind words 😊
I agree. Profumo is by far the best one in my book as well. I can't wrap my head around the decision to discontinue it. 😱

Absolu for the win. May be a bit synthetic but performance is OUTSTANDING and ladies love it.
i have Profumo and Profondo both. Prefer Profondo for a cooler weather and Profondo (mindblowing mineral notes) for a heat when i go out from my home
Huh? Lol 👍🏾
Profumo is the sexiest men's fragrance I've ever put my nose on.
Profumo is good but the best fragrance was the "vintage" Acqua Di Gio!
Best on the planet before 2010!
You felt that fragrance in your life?
Haole bath sis
It definitely is. I like Profundo too, but Profumo is so sexy its like a womanizer in a bottle. Profundo is more of a sporty daytime scent, while Profumo is an elegant evening date type of scent.

Love those Memo fragances you got there.

The only problem I've found with my Profumo, is that it fades in an hour. I don't go nose blind to it because Ive asked othera to smell my shirt and wrist and "it very feint but nice" like uhhh nah when I spray it it's heavenly but after just a bit it dies. Idk 🤷♂️
I wish you could have smelt the Essenza too however sadly it no longer exists
I have a bottle......
I agree, personally I used Acqua di Gio original for 15 year, in spite look for a replacement, what happens when I found AG Profumo, It is all you said.
So glad you did this one...was gonna blind buy the Profundo but I already have Sauvage and would be disappointed...plus I have the Profumo as well and yes, it’s tha bomb
It smells absolutely NOTHING like sauvage. Trust me lol
@@chasepotter2376 I second this statement. Nothing like Sauvage.
@@chasepotter2376 Yes, you are right. I was a little disappointed that she made that comparison. I own both and that thought would have never crossed my mind.
Smell is definitely subjective because to me Profumo is by and far the worst in the line. It gives me a terrible headache and smells like an old man. Both Absolu and Profondo are better, more youthful fragrances. For whatever reason the fragrance community loves to hate on Absolu but it’s baller status.
Great review as always Josephine!
Thanks Ramon 😊
Welcome! :)
I love these honest Reviews thanks
You forgot Absolu Instinct.. 🤷♂️ Essenza also not mentioned.
Essenza is never talked about.but its up there in great smell
Reallyyy good description of everything. Extremely helpful 👌🏽👍🏼
Profumo is my personal fave but my wife prefers Absolu. So I got both.
Have you smelled ADG Essenza? I absolutely love Acqua Di Gio Essenza. So dissapointed to know that it was discontinued. I didnt know until i went to buy another bottle last two month. I only used it on special nights. Every single person smelled it and they complimented me for the smell and loved it. Also It drove the ladies crazy. I found two bottle online. Was excited and bought them. I opened them. As i opened the box i suddenly got skeptical of the authenticity of the product. From the print and the smell. It smell less strong then the one i had. I realized it was second degree from the original. F********k
Agreed. Essenza is the best for me. I've tried almost all but essenza is beast mode and lots of compliments
Great review and you have a very natural down to earth vibe about you witch is great..:)
Thank you, appreciate the support. Have a nice week.
My favourite is still AdG Profumo, but i had a sample of the Absolu, and is surprinsingly good in a night club ocasion.
Profondo is the best imo....since it is a new release most people or online reviewers are not ready to accept the truth, it has a better performance ,projection ,sill and smell expensive.
Honestly , the pronounciation is best available on youtube. A small request from your new subscriber as for Acqua di Gio Profumo , is it better to buy EDP or Perfume ? I hope you can comment .
Please do a review of the Penhaligon Portraits collection. I think the names, bottles and stories are fascinating. I have recently sampled a few and interested in your thoughts.
Ohhh I’ve been meaning to do a video on these. I love them too!
The original is such an epic freshie that has outlived a whole lot of major releases -for over 2 decades. The rosemary note is my favorite key player in the blend, which was sorely missed in the discontinued Essenza. Now, AdG Profumo really stepped up the game by bringing back -not only rosemary, but also some heftiness, by the added incense.
Two enthusiastic thumbs up -one for AdG Profumo, and one for Jus de Rose.
Mi cariño y aprecio,
Ricardo.
Thank you Ricardo! You have such an incredible knowledge of fragrances and it's always interesting to get your perspective on fragrances. Have a great start to the week!
I still like the original ADG edt the most. Profondo dry down smells like wet socks too me. I need to try the Profondo lights and see if I like it.
Ok so i am new to the fragrance game.
So far i have Versace Eros, D&G light blue and intenso, Chrome by azzarus i think lol, Parfum De Marly Pegasus and Percival, L’Homme by Prada, Halloween Man X, Nautica Voyage, Versace Eau Frache, Polo blue, and i just ordered Acqua di Gio profondo instead of profumo and after watching this video i am now worried…
Your colonge/perfume knowledge is attractive
Today I brought the white one "Acqua di gio pour homme" this smells so good and keep for 3~5 hours
Edit: I recommend for mens
It’s still great after all these years
@@thetattooedguy1413 sure thing man, that's the real deal :)
@@ChillingYuta Man I just got another bottle of Profondo and should have just picked up the OG
@@thetattooedguy1413 Profondo isn't bad, but yes OG would be better 🙁
@@ChillingYuta For sure ! I don’t really care for Profumo either
i´ve used the original Acqua di Gio since the 90´s i´m 45 just bought Absolu and Profumo love them and can be found to a price where everyone can buy it without getting poor however looked up Acqua di Gio Profundo damn thats expensive still out of the 3 i have i prefer the original
Ummmm... ambroxan isnt a listed note in Profondo
Call me a fool or a philistine but I think I recently, accidentally, discovered a layering idea that I really like a lot.
I only discovered Fragrantica and ebay decants about 5 months ago and decided to proceed with a little course in the mystical arts of perfumery, having largely been lapsed on the subject since my youth, and then with only limited experience (ADG, Eau d'Issey, Polo Sport, Hugo 'Hugo', Code a little later... you're probably guessing the time-frame correctly). It was a welcome new fad for me and a little distraction from some of the miseries of lockdown.
Anyway, for one thing, I fell madly in love with Fahrenheit, at 1st huff (it was like 'where have you been all my life?).
One day I sprayed some on the wrists and back of one hand (better to keep smelling the scent, periodically, as it dries down) and I thought 'why does that smell different and maybe even a little bit better, than I remember'? It was probably because I still had the fading remnants of ADG on those spots from about 4 hours prior and the fresh, wet spray of the Fahrenheit had re-awoken it and combined with the notes of the little bits of ADG that was still left.
It added a light, zingy, fresh, floral pep to the violet, patchouli and other notes in the Fahrenheit and sort of lifted it into being something a little bit different. Not in a nauseatingly floral way (I don't really like Rose notes, for example, sorry ;-) but in a very fresh and uplifting way. To me, anyway. I really, really liked it and couldn't stop smelling my hand.
Is ADG popular amongst layerers?
Please tell me if you think I must be mad, or a frag-newbie fruit-loop. Preferably after trying it yourself, if you happen to be the owner of both. But feel free to blind-browbeat me, too, if you think I've committed some kind of fragrance related faux pas (bearing in mind that I never really meant it, in the first place), ha.
I sprayed Fahrenheit on my shirt and the next day wore it and sprayed Perry Ellis 360 Red which smells similar to ADG. And it was a great scent. I agree both ADG and Fahrenheit can be layered !
I think Essenza is the best one! I have tested Profumo on numerous occasions, and I'm just not impressed.
no more essenza huhu
Her take on ADG Profumo is spot on! 👍
Hi… never concern much for Aqua Di gio( original) or pay much regard toward Sauvage, I guess due to the popularity. But can’t wait to hear your input on new Aqua Di gio eau de parfum. As always: Thanks….sss….
AQdG Profumo was one of the first fragances in my collection... and that day I still have very present was when I smelled Pegasus 😳😞 and that would be the last time 😒😅. AQdG Profumo has an amazing performance I wear it afternoon and nights, not much right now for the covid situation, but is one the most perfect fragances ever made for summer nights and works for other seasons of the year.
Lovely video, Josephine! I have ADG Profundo, and I agree with you completely on it. In the dry down, it rounds out and becomes smoother. It’s definitely a modern take on the original, any occasion, and definitely has the legs for colder weather. On me, it’ll last til the next day and it’ll stay on my shirt til I wash it. However, ADG Profondo smelled like tiger balm when I first sniffed it a couple of years ago from the bottle so I overlooked it. Think I should give it another chance and test it?
Thank you! Definitely give it another try, I’ve noticed that with fragrances that I didn’t like in the past after some time my opinion changes...
@@jusderose Hey Josephine! So now I'm totally in love with ADG Profumo lol. It took me a few more wears to understand this fragrance, but now I get it and own a bottle alongside my Profondo thanks to your recommendation. Thanks again!
Hi Josephine , greetings from Singapore ❤ would love to see your review on the 🎉 latest release by GA ( Aqua Di Gio EDP ) before buying 😊❤
Your right the Aqua De Gio Profumo smells the best out of the line up Aqua De Gio by Giorgio Armani line of men's fragrances.
OMG, this video is so helpful. Thank you!
You should do a review on the Nautica line up. I like the Nautica Voyage N-83 it really smells good and even better after it dries.
Love these kind of honest, and straight to the point reviews! My husband has the original, and it is so easy to wear and nice in the hot weather, but like you said, so easily gone. Profumo will be my christmasgift for him🤗🌹 - thank you for the great review!❤️
Thank you Ann ❤️ Such a shame the original doesn’t last longer!
Jus de Rose Yes, it is! Such a classic fresh scent.
I bought Profumo recently and its performing badly on my skin can’t really smell it sucks. I bought it from a known retailer in Canada
The original Acqua di Gio seemed to last all day on me. I did also spray a tiny bit on my clothes. Just ordered a new bottle, they better not have changed the formula! I am intrigued by Profumo version as I like incense and patchouli. Going to try it. Thanks for the advice.
You are the boss, I bought profumo. 😊
Nice video. You have to like incence to like Profumo. For me Profundo is better but as you said it is similar to DS so I keep looking for more niche fragrances ...
