Giorgio Armani

I am a 17-year-old guy, and I have been using Acqua di Gio Eau de Parfum for a couple of months now. It smells really good – it’s fresh, masculine, and has a cool and elegant vibe. There’s a bit of wood and citrus in the scent, which gives a great balance. It’s not too strong again, so you can get away with a little extra. But you only need 3-4 sprays, and it lasts all day. I’ve actually received quite a few positive comments on it – people notice it. I’m part of a test panel through Smartson and got the perfume for free to test through them.

I had the pleasure of testing Aqua d’ Gio Eau de Parfum for men (50 ml) for free as a Smartson test pilot, and it has been a really great experience. The design of the bottle is simple, elegant, and transparent – with a modern and masculine expression. The matte cap gives an exclusive touch, and the sleek look fits perfectly on any shelf. A big bonus is that the bottle is refillable, which is both practical and sustainable – a feature I really appreciate. The scent is fresh, maritime, and elegant with notes of citrus, wood, and incense. It feels both classic and modern, and works well for both everyday and more special occasions. The quality is high – both in terms of the scent itself and the materials of the bottle. The spray function is precise and provides an even distribution without overdoing it. The capacity of 50 ml makes it easy to take with you, without compromising on appearance or function. I give it 4 out of 5 stars – primarily because the longevity on the skin could be a bit better. But all in all, it’s a really nice perfume that I can warmly recommend – and an extra plus for the refillable solution. Thanks to Smartson for the opportunity to test Aqua d’ Gio!

After applying in the morning, the perfume lasts a very long time - all the way into the evening and night, it also has good projection and people around you can easily smell it. However, it starts off very synthetic, and will smell synthetic and "heavy" in the first 1-2 hours, after which it will mellow down to a pleasant, office-friendly scent. I am participating in a test panel and have received a free test product.
