Acqua di Gioia
Acqua di Gioia by Giorgio Armani is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2010 in the designer price tier. It opens with lemon, mint and pink pepper, moves into jasmine and water lily and dries down to cedarwood, labdanum and brown sugar. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Mint Cold and tingly. Great in small doses, toothpaste in large ones.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Water Lily Watery floral. Soft, cool and slightly green.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Brown Sugar Molasses-rich sweetness. Warmer and deeper than white sugar.
