Fragrance Profile

• Top Notes: Marine accords and bergamot — evoke the immediate freshness of ocean spray.

• Heart Notes: Rosemary, clary sage, and geranium — introduce an aromatic green layer.

• Base Notes: Olibanum (frankincense) and patchouli — deepen the scent with a warm and woody finish.

This Parfum updates the classic Aquatic DNA by offering a cleaner, fresher opening and a more grounded emerald-like dry-down. It retains oceanic freshness yet evolves into a sophisticated, woody aquatic experience.

Character & Context

Acqua di Giò Parfum serves as the contemporary successor to the now-discontinued Acqua di Giò Profumo (2015). Fans often describe it as nearly identical to Profumo, with some noting that:

"Profumo was known for a smoky incense dry‑down, while the Parfum is greener and more mellow."
— A fragrance enthusiast comparing both versions.

It embodies a modern aquatic fragrance that's fully wearable across seasons and settings.
