Hey Ash, love ADG line and really enjoyed the first impressions - but gotta say i really appreciate the graphics in this video to illustrate the comparisons
The only one I’m truly curious about is the original. If they change the original at all will it be vastly different and change the fragrance at all? I hope they don’t mess with that one at all. Like ZERO change if they do how will it affect the line?
Hot take: there need to be MORE fragrances in the 30 mL size. After a year of collecting I have many bottles in 50, 75, or 100 mL that it would take me forever to work through. It feels like I’m either relegated to an oversized bottle or a decant in many cases. 30 mL is a perfect sweet spot both from a volume and a price standpoint.
I think they sent you the same original edp bro… find it hard to believe they wouldn’t make the bottle different with the new release?? Even if it is smaller…
Mom: Why does your room smell like marijuana? Son: Oh, that's just the new Acqua di Gio EDP I'm wearing. Mom: The 2024 release? Son: Yup! Mom: Well, alright then. Carry on. But try not to attract any unexpected visitors with that scent, okay? I don't want the police around again.
Great video of this new release! Recently I often heard you describe a fragrance as "sweet and fresh", or as in this case "sweeter and fresher than the original", how exactly can I imagine this explanation of scent? My (beginner) thought always was that a fragrance is either fresh or sweet, and that a smell that becomes fresher therefore becomes less sweet (I thought: ADG, Bleu de Chanel, Sauvage = fresh; and One Million, JPG Ultra Male, Eros = sweet) Would love to learn how these two terms actually can be used to describe a smell!
ADG needs to just re-release Essenza. People would pay extra for it, like if it were then "Elixir" of the line, just bring it back with it's performance amped up like it used to be.
i've recently heard about the change that was made to adg parfum apparently they made a slight reformulation to make it smell even more like profumo used to, idk if thats true tho. Also the gradient of the bottle has slightly changed and the armani logo is now at the bottom, the cap is supposed to be magnetic aswell.
Profondo EDP is ADG's best scent ever created to this date. But the price point is getting ridiculous for ADG. They are starting to price themselves into the lower niche market.
Yeah I agree I won’t buy redundant flankers anymore. Only completely new creations. Time to stop being mindless zombie frag heads! Let’s take this market back! To the streets boys! 😆
The bottle of Le parfum has also changed. "Giorgio Armani" text added under "Parfum" text. It is said on the internet that it is more similar to Profumo. Has anyone used it 2024 Le Parfum?
So let me get this straight , years ago they had the toilette and then the edp and then Profumo and then profundo and then parfum and then profundo 2024 and now edp 2024 ? & they’re still coming out with 2024 profundo parfum ?! I’m lost lol anyone ?
You have to take into consideration that the 22 version has macerated most likely so it will smell different compared to the newer version. This would be completely redundant to own both. Just give me Profondo Parfum and call it a day lol
If I were deciding to purchase a fragrance and I saw the cannabis note, I'd put it back and buy something else. Cannabis isnt something I'd ever want to smell of.
It's never smelled the same way in any perfume I've tried because it's a rough approximation made out of other chemicals. Hindu Kush barely smells like it but there's some real leaf stank in Bad Boy Parfum. In designers it's going to be a sweet green smell that they just call cannabis for marketing.
@@phantomspaceman yeah, I was real interested in that CH bad boy frag. I really don't want to be disappointed. Most of my purchases are blind buys unfortunately.
I really think based on L’Oréal logic, if they keep the same name, the intention is not to create a new scent but to keep the OG scent. If the FIL number is changed, most likely due to some ingredient sourcing changes. For example, passive sicenario : some raw material used to use now being banned, they are forced to replace the formulation and then try to reduplicate the scent as close as possible ; positive scenario: the brand wants to boost the sustainability of raw material, so they change the supplier of raw material but still intend to reduplicate the scent as close as its past version. In case of “keeping the same name, but with a new formulation”, it would be like the case of YSL Y EDT, new one versus the old one, and they did communicate that it is a new formula when the new one is released, for Y EDT, the cause of the change was mainly for the sake of improving its performance as the first generation of Y EDT, the performance was too bad. So in conclusion: I believe for EDT, Profondo EDP, EDP, Parfum, now in 2024 they are all in new pack (Parfum despite the same design, but the sizing regime is now changed from 40/75/125 to 30/50/100), but I do not assume the house wants to really create a new or adjusted scent apart from their past versions even if the FIL (formula Number) has been changed. The only intended new release from the house for 2024 big ADG campaign would be on “Profondo Parfum”. FIL changes are very often in cosmetics industry, even more in skincare items. In the case of fragrance production it can be even more sensitive as even for the same FIL , just by different batches could result in some nuances in its olfactory perception and slight alternation on its performance. Hope this bring an another perspective in this debate from someone who has always worked in the marketing of cosmetics brands. :-)
Ik I wasn't crazy I was getting a slightly pungent scent that reminded me or that one bad boy fragrance. The cannabis isn't as strong but it hits my nose, hoping it gets better when macerated, I was just hoping for a stronger version of the EDT, that nice clean scent. This is so green to my nose
Did they just change the bottle back to the previous design without the black gradient? At least that's what it looks like on the Armani site in Europe
Oh no! They made the "BO" note from the original more pronounced! Dear Lord, why???? Some may get cannabis from this dna....I just get a straight funk....like after you jog for an hour on a 90 degree day
yet more shrinkflation and a price increase to add insult to injury as all the new sizes are smaller than what they were but prices have shot up as if it's a new release... your batch code indicates that it was made in july of last year so it's definitely an older bottle you have been sent.... embarrassing that you think you can smell a difference 😂
The EDP to me smells the most mature in the line. I hope this new rebranding/reformulation doesn’t take much of that away. Got me more compliments in 2 years than Profumo did in 10 😳
I own them all and still prefer the original EDT. The Parfum is a close second. Profondo and EDP are my least favorite. I will not repurchase them again.
Got a new bottle of Profumo recently and noticed they replaced the magnetic cap with a chintzy plastic material. Atomizer is substandard. Really disappointing to see this from Armani; nickel and diming for margins. There’s more quality in a bottle of Reyane Tradition…quite a bit more which is alarming. At the same time, standard bottle prices have jumped from $80-100 to $160 and the consumer just rolled over and accepted it as the new norm. It’s capitalism and well within their rights to keep giving less for more but I’m done.
Putting out bunch of flankers is a business move fragrances companies use to generate more money and spending less on coming with new products and ideas. It’s a business move
They need to just start putting the years on the bottle with the name so we know exactly what we are getting instead of cracking a code with the bottles and the caps!
Don't care about any Armani until they re-release the OF Profumo in a bottle that does not leak. Profumo is the *greatest* frag ever made. EFF Profundo.
GA and many other brands are trying to cash in on ppl’s hoardom. These flankers are painfully redundant and ‘blah’ at best…but (some) ppl will rush out to buy them bc of hype. More power to them, I guess🥴. Lol
Looking at the comments and wondering if Ash made a 15 minute video on smelling the exact same fragrance (sent him the old), just fresher juice because it’s not macerated yet😂
Wow, I'm actually getting a little irritated. To spend less money on my perfume collection, I have agreed with myself to only buy new bottles of perfume series that I completely own like Givenchy gentleman, Guerlain L'homme Ideal and.....Aqcua di gio. And now they come up with these iterative 2024 versions.....you realize that's a problem👿😠
These flankers are getting confusing...
Thank you, it makes my f*cking head spin whenever think about them or hear about a new one.
Cannabis note ? Perfect office fragrance!
We didn't need adg parfum 2023. What we really needed was for them not to discontinue profumo, and give us profondo parfum, and profumo parfum 💯
Profumo Parfum Intense. Profumo Parfum Elixir. Profumo Parfumo Intense Elixir. Repeat for every flanker.
I’m really sad they discontinued it. Profumo is beast mode for me.
Profondo parfum is here buddy
Parfum is the best one imo
I used to get the cannabis note around coworkers.
i get it immediately
I got it tonight walking past my neighbours house a cannabis note
Review starts at 5:40
A hero
Ty
Pumping out flankers every 6 months, I've stopped buying designer completely, how much thought and creativity are being put into these $150+ bottles.
I agree. JPG are showing some less redundant releases IMO.
Exactly. I havent bought a new fragrance in months. It makes the hobby boring
Hey Ash, love ADG line and really enjoyed the first impressions - but gotta say i really appreciate the graphics in this video to illustrate the comparisons
Profumo will always be the best. Im never going to buy any other flanker again
The only one I’m truly curious about is the original. If they change the original at all will it be vastly different and change the fragrance at all? I hope they don’t mess with that one at all. Like ZERO change if they do how will it affect the line?
Can't wait until the ADG 2025 flanker lineup.
with the inflatiion prices of 360$ per bottle LOL
Maybe Acqua Di Gio Elixir
Hot take: there need to be MORE fragrances in the 30 mL size. After a year of collecting I have many bottles in 50, 75, or 100 mL that it would take me forever to work through. It feels like I’m either relegated to an oversized bottle or a decant in many cases. 30 mL is a perfect sweet spot both from a volume and a price standpoint.
So sell your surplus
I always thought about that. It takes way too long to get through bottles
I think they sent you the same original edp bro… find it hard to believe they wouldn’t make the bottle different with the new release?? Even if it is smaller…
I think the same 😂 Could be a social experiment to see if he will think it's a different scent
He'll spend 15 minutes telling us how different they are 😂
It has the Giorgio Armani at the bottom, it’s the new bottle.
I guess they cheapened out for the smaller bottle regarding the gradient.
The 30ml are all new afaik, before they had 40/75/125 now 30/50/100/200
Mom: Why does your room smell like marijuana?
Son: Oh, that's just the new Acqua di Gio EDP I'm wearing.
Mom: The 2024 release?
Son: Yup!
Mom: Well, alright then. Carry on. But try not to attract any unexpected visitors with that scent, okay? I don't want the police around again.
think they sent you the old original edp bottel, photon from armani shows that even the 30ml bottle is the new look.
He'll trick himself into thinking they smell different though 😂
@@brian_fantana Hey ash. this the same cologne.
Hey! Have you tried out the latest ADG parfum with magnetic cap? 😂 surprise surprise profumo is back, almost
Love the new background 🎉
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day

I love 30ml bottles. I’ll never even use that much, it’s over 300 sprays. I guess it depends on how big your collection is.

Also the gradient of the bottle has slightly changed and the armani logo is now at the bottom, the cap is supposed to be magnetic aswell.
I mean I wouldn’t be mad at a free 30ml of aqua di gio lol
3:15 38X702L batch code pulls up as July 2023
Sabina refunded me for this bottle, same batch code. They're promoting the new one but still phasing out the old one.
Profondo EDP is ADG's best scent ever created to this date. But the price point is getting ridiculous for ADG. They are starting to price themselves into the lower niche market.
Cannabis note... That's what I always smelled in ADG EDP since its release. It's probably the sage. 🤷
I wish people would stop buying these pointless, unnecessary, redundant flankers & perhaps fragrance houses will start being creative again?
All the AdG’s smell the same to me. Synthetic, boring and dated. If you wanna smell like Macys go for it. 😂
Not gonna happen. The addiction is real.
Ok Aaron Terrence Hughes.
LOL!
Yeah I agree I won’t buy redundant flankers anymore. Only completely new creations. Time to stop being mindless zombie frag heads! Let’s take this market back! To the streets boys! 😆
True
I have profumo 2017. The end
The bottle of Le parfum has also changed. "Giorgio Armani" text added under "Parfum" text. It is said on the internet that it is more similar to Profumo. Has anyone used it 2024 Le Parfum?
I'm confused. Why did they make an ADG EDP for 2024 if they already have one?
Idk, I think they might have sent you the old one. The pictures Ive seen have a gradient.
yeah even the new gift sets that have a small 15ml bottle along with a larger bottle both have the gradient colouring on them 😂
i feel you on the cannabis note, i always smelt it in the OG an hour or two after putting it on
Already a new version? The otiginal edp is only from 2022? What's the deal here?
Are you sure that's not the old one? Looks like the old one
9:49 🤔I wonder if police dogs also catch this note of cannabis in the fragrance? 🌱🐕😁 Thanks for the new review Ash, as always top🔥💯
I’ll definitely check this out, again, because it’s an ADG fragrance.
I love the EDP. Keen on at least smelling this new flanker.
So let me get this straight , years ago they had the toilette and then the edp and then Profumo and then profundo and then parfum and then profundo 2024 and now edp 2024 ? & they’re still coming out with 2024 profundo parfum ?! I’m lost lol anyone ?
Pretty much. Would also add that Parfum is basically a slightly remade Profumo
Need an Elixir on all flankers
EDP came after Profumo and Profondo, but yeah
Thanks guys
Their marketing is a huge mess.
I haven't picked up any cannabis in the OG EDP. 🤔
I got a new 2024 bottle of adg parfum, and it had a metal cap. Plus, to my nose, it is closer to Profumo . I would like to know your opinion !
You have to take into consideration that the 22 version has macerated most likely so it will smell different compared to the newer version. This would be completely redundant to own both. Just give me Profondo Parfum and call it a day lol
At this point I don’t even know which one is which
I'll stick with the OG. Why remove the lavender?
If I were deciding to purchase a fragrance and I saw the cannabis note, I'd put it back and buy something else. Cannabis isnt something I'd ever want to smell of.

@@ternbug100 Macy's should have all of them on display. The 50ml goes for ~$38 during sales. It's closer to Cobalt than the other flankers.
Not enough ADGs, they should release more.
LOL
They should release Profumo again.
@@phantomspacemanI think they replaced it with “parfum” which is essentially the same
@@dannyflexx2529 It isn't and everyone is mad about it. They're mutilating their best sellers.
💀💀💀💀

I tasted the original EDP and I smelled the cannabis after it dried out and if the new one still has that note there's no way I buy this

Do you think that the og edp is reformulated?
The EDP is my least liked ADG. It smells like a sludge green scent 😂 But adding cannabis to it sounds awesome
Did they just change the bottle back to the previous design without the black gradient? At least that's what it looks like on the Armani site in Europe
Armani's website says that there is, indeed, still lavandin and "Madagascar geranium" in the mid.
in europe the 30 mil has the same color as the other ones, you sure you got the right one?
I thought the parfum was supposed to streamline everything but see it clearly hasn’t and I’m even more confused about the line up trying to decide
The FIL code for both versions are the same? If not the same, then they are different formulas
Is it still a "flanker" if it's named the same as the original except with a year now?
Oh no! They made the "BO" note from the original more pronounced! Dear Lord, why???? Some may get cannabis from this dna....I just get a straight funk....like after you jog for an hour on a 90 degree day
You got scammed, you got sold a small bottle of the 2023 EDP, they smell close because they are the same
Yes. I got the same thing today from the same company. Waiting for them to respond to me tomorrow. They advertised the new but sent the old
5555 yes
Looking at 30ml bottle of new 2024 edp on Notino (UK) it has the gradient. I think they've send you an old version Ash
yet more shrinkflation and a price increase to add insult to injury as all the new sizes are smaller than what they were but prices have shot up as if it's a new release... your batch code indicates that it was made in july of last year so it's definitely an older bottle you have been sent.... embarrassing that you think you can smell a difference 😂
You’re not wrong about the cannabis note, I smell it in the original eau the parfum I thought I was crazy🤣🤣
The EDP to me smells the most mature in the line. I hope this new rebranding/reformulation doesn’t take much of that away. Got me more compliments in 2 years than Profumo did in 10 😳
100% Agree™
Honestly ADG has that vibe to me, in general, because of the age of the DNA. Only Absolu really smells "young" to me.
@@BourbonInhibitions thanks. Gonna wait 10 years so as many people as possible can see how much you’ve owned me here 🤗

Theres a reason why the new bottle is half profumo look- a like due to the incense note...🤔
Wait didn’t this fragrance house say that they were going to bring out a new eau de toilette?
now i am confused 😂, i just ordered edp, not sure which one is that hahaha
Putting out bunch of flankers is a business move fragrances companies use to generate more money and spending less on coming with new products and ideas. It’s a business move
Thanks
It would be cool if you did a duke cannon vs dr squatch fragrance competition
New bottles = IFRA compliant reformulations
I'm still waiting for the new edt version w some design change...
Hey can we get the part 2 of the manceras buying guide?
The reverse gradient looks strange imo
But what about acqua di gio Profumo?
But where the heck are the new Chanel scents?? They have not given anything new since a lifetime!
Also waiting for new Chanel…
Thank you so much for advertising such a beautiful perfume❤❤❤. I love how you explained it🎉🎉🎉🎉. Thank you so much.❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
i’ve always thought that aquar de gio was a little too alcoholic for me but and edp sounds nice
Love the line but they are making it way too complicated with all these flankers imo
extremely dissapointed to hear that, G Armani has lost memory how to make perfumes
They need to just start putting the years on the bottle with the name so we know exactly what we are getting instead of cracking a code with the bottles and the caps!
Armani is getting quite a bit out of hand with the cash grabs, don't you think?
Also, Profondo smells fine.... it is the most boring ever ADG. Completely overrated vs the hype it gets.
30ml is more than I got. I'd be grateful 🙏
It look like they might be getting ready to discontinue the ADG edt
No, the edt has also the refillable treatment
Now do EDT. The most important one.
Don't care about any Armani until they re-release the OF Profumo in a bottle that does not leak. Profumo is the *greatest* frag ever made. EFF Profundo.
I really need to speak to whoever's in charge at Armani at this point
GA and many other brands are trying to cash in on ppl’s hoardom.
These flankers are painfully redundant and ‘blah’ at best…but (some) ppl will rush out to buy them bc of hype.
More power to them, I guess🥴. Lol
Looking at the comments and wondering if Ash made a 15 minute video on smelling the exact same fragrance (sent him the old), just fresher juice because it’s not macerated yet😂
Parfum 2024 next.
Nah, they're adjusting everything else to the parfum. It already has a refillable bottle.
Is the this for all season long cologne
For me this is a late spring, cool summer and early fall scent. Dosent work well in winter or high heat.
Do you know if they’re coming out with a new GIO ABSOLU 😈 🔥since they discontinued it 😢
Would LOVE to see a new version of this one MYSELF..or possibly even a new ADG Absolu Instinct..LOVED that one too
Doesn't look like it. All the others have been replaced now. No sign of new Absolu.
Having Flaskbacks of working at the Mall??🤣
A possible cannabis note? Well, that’s a risky and probably not recommended for a daily office scent. At least not at my job.
Wow, I'm actually getting a little irritated. To spend less money on my perfume collection, I have agreed with myself to only buy new bottles of perfume series that I completely own like Givenchy gentleman, Guerlain L'homme Ideal and.....Aqcua di gio.
