Giorgio Armani

Acqua di Gio Profondo

Acqua di Gio Profondo by Giorgio Armani is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2020 in the designer price tier. It opens with sea salt, bergamot and marine accord, moves into rosemary, lavender and cypress and dries down to patchouli, mineral accord and white musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Sea Salt Mineral and dry. Skin after a day at the beach.
• Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
• Marine Accord Generic 'ocean' — salt, air and water. Clean and uncomplicated.

Heart

• Rosemary Sharp, camphorous herb. Bracing and clean, borders on medicinal.
• Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
• Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.

Dry-down

• Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
• Mineral Accord Wet stone and flint. Cold, dry and modern.
• White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
