It's very good. I sprayed it and my wife approved within 20min. I was told it was like profondo....NOPE. this stands on its own. Word of mouth gets trumped with experience in the fragrance world!
I went into a well known fragrance shop wanting to sample this. They didn't have it in store, so i was met with the comment "just smell the original it's exactly the same" Honestly couldn't believe it, ended up leaving that shop shocked at their lack of knowledge. That day i ended up buying Eau Sauvage Parfum.
I got my bottle last week from SweetCare and I'm very happy with the fragrance. You got it spot on. This for summer days with Profumo for the evenings. I have Profondo but was never blown away by it. I much prefer Profondo Lights. I have the full range yet still treasure my bottles of Essenza.
Hi I don't like the overload of geranium in profondo I don't like that cold air smell . But without that I'd love the scent . Whats lights like and do you get that massive geranium blast ?
My #1 is still profumo. But I'm looking for a 2nd ADG for my functional collection. Still can't decide which of the other flankers I like the best. Most of them smell great. Absolu, Profando, Profando lights or the new EDP.
I always thought the OG Aqua di Gio was more ozonic than aquatic. Lightly scented air is what it is. Now, that air may be breathed in on the shore of the Mediterranean sea but it's still air. It sounds like this new EDP would be the summer evening choice for me whereas the OG would be the daytime choice.
I'm loving it and getting compliments like subtle yet classy. I live in a tropical climate so it lasts about 3 to 4 hrs. More or less my all day long wear.
I tried profondo on my left wrist and edp on the right. I've got mixed feelings, while I like opening and mid of edp much more, after 4 hours it was gone. Profondo I found a bit annoying from the start but I could still smell it after 8 hours.
I smelled this at the department store yesterday. I didn't like it. I found it too citrusy. Like lemon juice. Almost sour in a bad way. My favourite is still the Profondo.
I bought mine with a gift card this week, and must be in the minority because I'm not really blown away by it. It doesn't seem to last very long on me, and there's an orange peel-like smell to it that I'm not excited about. Though I haven't tried Profumo, I do like Profundo and Absolu, which most reviewers didn't like.
Yea bro I kid u not . I bought it two days ago and want to take it back . It lasts MAYBE an hour before the scent just vanishes away. And that’s after a good 8 sprays or more. And for an edp you would think it would last
LOL Absolu has the 2nd best performance after Profumo, and it is good. It used to be severely underrated, which is why the manufacturer used to sell it at 50% off during sales, but now it is only 30% off due to fragrance reviewers glorifying it and demand rising. We'll see what happens during Black Friday.
so I just got it 3 days ago. I either go nose blind quick or projection is bad. it smells good. Nothing sexy smelling..just nice...but I'm going to let my bottle age a couple of weeks and go back to it. I'm sure it will grow on me. definitely summer smell. I wish it was more like the orginal hence the name...but these days you never know what you get lol
Great video. I’m still debating between Profumo and EDP. I got a trial size of Profumo and I love it. But since it’s discontinued, I can only get it on the official website or Ulta etc. Is there a decent difference between the two?
I've worn down my bottle to about 3/4 already and I have a collection of over 200 fragrances, that should tell you guys something. However the performance is a bit lacking so don't be afraid to go heavy on the trigger.
Yes, I agree, it’s a great fragrance but the performance is not optimal. Just for comparison sakes, I would say this new ADG has the same performance as YSL L’homme.
I love sweet smelling colognes that make heads turn and importantly I love them to last for a long time. Can you please recomend the ones that you know. Thanks. I live in the US and I have not seen the Acqua Di Gio EDP, the one I have been seeing is the EDT. Do you have any idea where I can get the EDP.
ADG...One of the greatest fragrances of all time. I have to try the EDP. Some EDPs aren't just more concentrated than their EDTs but smell significantly different. I pray this isn't one of them.
That one sounds super interesting but doesn’t seem like the easiest to get hold of. Guess Noir Extreme will remain my dessert-smelling fragrance for now 😂 Is it true CG smells a bit like coco pops??
Hello, Mr. Chris!!! I just got this for a steal at Ross. IMHO... this was just "meh" to me. With the way I interpret ADG EDP, this is a prototype of Sean John's Unforgivable.
Just got a bottle of this today and it’s very lovely, it smelled great off my skin right away. It’s a great summer fragrance but I’m anxious to see how it performs in some colder weather, feel like this has a much more versatile scent than its flankers.
Hi there! Any conclusions about wearing it in winter? I'd considering giving it as a gift but we're in Canada and it's freezing where they are. Thank you!
I wanted the EDT so bad after smelling it but everyone says the performance is pretty meh and I already have Prada Carbon which also has the same issue so hopefully this can do it for me!! If not I might get Profumo
So good to finally watch a review ADG EDP. I’ve been waiting for it for sometime now and I love the smell of the OG so much. Fantastic review, and you are helping me with my summer fragrance collection.
@@Whiskey.Tango.Actual It was 60 euros for 40ml at Notino and I'll sell it for 40-50 euros but I'm from Europe. I'd suggest you to wait till the price goes down a bit.
Wow, i last sprayed the edp on the back of my wrist at 9am yesterday. It’s currently 4pm the next day and I can still smell remnants if I put my nose to my arm.
@@jacksonbelch9311 It lasted 10 hrs on my skin but that was back in 1998 when I got my first bottle. I wasn't using it for for the past 10 years and then I finally got another bottle. The batch from December 2021 is very weak. EDP is a bit better tho but still weak.
@@Marcuss925 ride on man. I’m in USA. Probably not worth it for shipping. Thanks anyways. Bummer it hasn’t worked out for you. Been hearing mostly good things
Can’t comment on the new ADG as I haven’t tried it, but having both Profumo and Profondo I would say Profumo is better. Polo Deep Blue is very similar to Profondo but better performing and less headache inducing for me, so that’s a decent alternative. Profondo is a great smell but has a sharpness like YSL Y EDP which gives me a headache..... that’s probably just me though. You’ve prob got the best of the line in Profumo.
i have to sample the new edp but so far id say profondo smells more fresher than profumo… no offense but profumo smells like an old man with the incense note 🧓🏽
Wore the EDP yesterday, for about 2 hours after overspraying. Classy, but a big but, hardly a scent after that. Not nose blind, because my friends could not smell it at all. Nothing, zero, zilch, nada. Eau de parfum? You have got to be kidding me. A no buy for me.
It's very good. I sprayed it and my wife approved within 20min. I was told it was like profondo....NOPE. this stands on its own. Word of mouth gets trumped with experience in the fragrance world!

I got told last week at guerlain counter is John Lewis Liverpool , " we use all natural synthetic ingredients I almost pissed myself

I tried ADG edp and it reminds me of Essenza. I don't think I will be picking up ADG edp anytime soon.
@@boshbash9137 Profondo Lights is a little bit more interesting with greener notes added.
@@JLaFragancia Essenza was sometimes criticised for having a blood smell. I never found that though. I find the EDP much more green.
Are you in the U.S. as I here in California was wondering if any shipping issues with sweet care if you are from here.
Blind buy for me, I have a serious problem with Aqua di Gio. I gotta collect them all.
Same here!
Do a top 5 please :)
Could you rank them
LOVE It! More elegant and modern version
My #1 is still profumo. But I'm looking for a 2nd ADG for my functional collection. Still can't decide which of the other flankers I like the best. Most of them smell great. Absolu, Profando, Profando lights or the new EDP.
How does ADG EDP stack up to BENTLEY Silverlake?

Me also 3 to 4 hrs in a tropical country
Nice review Chris! I've ordered this from Notino today. Good timing!
I love profondo during the day and Profumo during the evening
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Another great review! Loved the OG and tempted by this ..or would you suggest Profundo for value for money?
I tried profondo on my left wrist and edp on the right. I've got mixed feelings, while I like opening and mid of edp much more, after 4 hours it was gone. Profondo I found a bit annoying from the start but I could still smell it after 8 hours.
Same experience. Profondo is underrated .. been wearin it since it came out , lasts pretty long and smells amazing !!!
I don't get it. What's not to like about profondo, its aquatic, mineral, fresh, everything a man could ask for a summer fragrance.
I smelled this at the department store yesterday. I didn't like it. I found it too citrusy. Like lemon juice. Almost sour in a bad way. My favourite is still the Profondo.

I agree, performance can be better. Still a wonderful fragrance!
To me ADG Profumo is the EDP version of the original. Who agrees with me?
U f. ing right 👍🏽
Nah, the original never had that masculinity/peppery thing going like profumo has. I wore it from 2004 to 2020.
No way, not even close to the OG.
Great video. I’m still debating between Profumo and EDP. I got a trial size of Profumo and I love it. But since it’s discontinued, I can only get it on the official website or Ulta etc. Is there a decent difference between the two?
Big difference. Profumo is a glorified and expensive version of Old Spice.
Huge difference
I've worn down my bottle to about 3/4 already and I have a collection of over 200 fragrances, that should tell you guys something. However the performance is a bit lacking so don't be afraid to go heavy on the trigger.
Yes, I agree, it’s a great fragrance but the performance is not optimal. Just for comparison sakes, I would say this new ADG has the same performance as YSL L’homme.
This smells marine, fresh, citrus/orange and barber shop.
This!! Just got it today. Definitely smells like some my barber used one time when cutting my hair. Love the citrus, and freshness of it
Love the original still rock it occasionally definitely buying this one thanks for the review.
It's a great release, the best since the Profumo, in my opinion.
Which is best because I love Profumo haven't smelled the EDP yet?
I love ADG EDP, saw a review saying it has a funky note. I didn't get that. Do you sir?
Nice take, Chris. I'm wearing it now. Hoping to review it next weekend.
Hey Chad, hope you’re doing well brother!
@@FRAGMENTAL I love ADG EDP, saw a review saying it has a funky note. I didn't get that. Do you sir?
Hey Chris! glad you are doing a review... my bottle just came in today.. literally... sprayed it and checking it now... so far, so good...
I'm quite liking the sound of this one............Will purchase🎉

I live in the US and I have not seen the Acqua Di Gio EDP, the one I have been seeing is the EDT. Do you have any idea where I can get the EDP.
Profondo or Absolu Instinct are the Better scents of the new ADGs….. fight me 😁🧐
Great review. Favourite discounter website?
I just ordered mine, I'm worried about the performance. What do you guys think?
Ordered from Notino just now, still really enjoying Profondo as well. Looks like I'm starting to build a bit of a Acqua di Gio collection.
Honestly if you don’t know what to buy as a non fragrance type of person go for any di gio you’ll be off to a good start
Just got mine last day the smell is good but not sure why the performance is not so good!!
ADG...One of the greatest fragrances of all time. I have to try the EDP. Some EDPs aren't just more concentrated than their EDTs but smell significantly different. I pray this isn't one of them.
I've not tried this one yet but it would have to be very special to beat Profumo in my opinion mate !! Great review Chris !! 👏
Great video Chris 🔥
Good review Chris
SOTD Montale Chocolate greedy
That one sounds super interesting but doesn’t seem like the easiest to get hold of. Guess Noir Extreme will remain my dessert-smelling fragrance for now 😂
Is it true CG smells a bit like coco pops??
@@bassacoustic1549 yes Noir Extreme is really good, wish it last longer
Chocolate greedy is ok ok
Must sample first
@@Nish_M thanks for the info.
Yes agreed about Noir Extreme. Noir De Noir is quite good too though I think has been reformulated.
Would you possibly say it’s like an Eau Sauvage version of Acqua Di Gio? That was the vibe I got when I tested it a couple times
Im glad im in this era before this edp becomes a legend and classic!!! I will finally experience the original formulation of the og in edp form.
Got mine from Sweetcare. I’m happy with it. Wore it today.
Hello, Mr. Chris!!! I just got this for a steal at Ross. IMHO... this was just "meh" to me. With the way I interpret ADG EDP, this is a prototype of Sean John's Unforgivable.
How does this compare to Acqua Di Gio Absolu? Sounds similar enough, want to know the differences!

@@natalyarciniegaspalacio7621 This blends well with Profumo during cold weather. You can adjust your own blend, wearing it over 40 degrees.
Great reviews as always....
I wanted the EDT so bad after smelling it but everyone says the performance is pretty meh and I already have Prada Carbon which also has the same issue so hopefully this can do it for me!! If not I might get Profumo
It came to the US a few days ago got mine today… and love it
this is getting some hype!! i still got my bottle of profondo though…. need to sample the edp!!
Profondo is better
What u think of profondo i just ordered it waitn for it to arrive?
So good to finally watch a review ADG EDP. I’ve been waiting for it for sometime now and I love the smell of the OG so much. Fantastic review, and you are helping me with my summer fragrance collection.
Hundreds of channels had already done a review on ADG EDP. You didn't search much, did you?
I’m just home from trying the edp and the new parfum ,the parfum is crap the smell was gone after an hour but the edp is fantastic
The weird thing about aqua Di gio is, why is nobody talking about the essenza version? I heard that it should be the best version of aqua Di gio.
cause it's discontinued and many people had an issue with a certain egg smell to it
Reviewers aren’t going to talk about something that isn’t readily available
I was waiting for this review. I've already had it a while too, probably from the same website.
what was the website?
@@hus9243 sweetcare is where I bought mine. I was late to the ordering game and it just arrived to my house in the US today.
@@jasonhatford3156 i’m in the UK tho
I think mancera cedrat Boise is the perfect summer evening fragrance for me
I found the original pedestrian at best. But this one has surprised me. It is on the acquisition list!
Clever criticism ! Thanks.
What's the name of the music? It sounds like something that would play on that show Suits.
Does it smell like a cheap shower gel like the rest of the line?
Got my bottle also from spain as it is not available in my country (NL), it's nice.
You never said if you prefer that one over Profumo.
Where can I get a sample?
Better Than Profumo ?
I just bought Profumo today a 4.2 ounce bottle cuz I ain’t going without. If it becomes more scarce I’ll pick up a couple more possibl y
price tag insane for those of us on pre- retirement due to illness
I don't agree with you.. eau de parfum is more long lasting than eau de toilette and has the same performance as Profumo
Tbe original EDT lasts 3hrs and the EDP least 4hrs. I'll be selling my bottle.
How much?

Profondo smells more like original EDT trust me guys

Anyone else get a little bit of a gasoline smell from this edp?? In a good way though.
I want it!I need it😄😄!!
❤AQUA DI GIO EAU DE PARFUM, and PROFUMO...ONE OF THE BEST SCENTS ON THE UNIVERSE GREETINGS FROM POLAND MAREK

@@bassacoustic1549 Polo Deep Blue 🔵. Is a sleeper hit. I get tons of compliments More so then other over hyped blue fragrances.
This edp has nothing to do with the original fresh adtoilette. Even if a lot of youtubers say so.
It smells like haaard menthol. Thats all about it.
Profumo is like Aventus Aqua...
Too late, already bought it. Watching anyway for confirmation that I made a good choice from someone I trust lol.
PS. I got it from the Armani website in the states.
Ah good to know it’s now available in the US
The original is better surprisingly
Doh, The Emperor has no clothes. For my untrained nose this is too much like Perry Ellis 360 Red.
no i wont I'd rather stock myself with porfumo and profondo than buy this imo.
If your not looking to complete the line, then yeah I agree with you.
I only get an hour at most from the edt so can’t bring myself to trust this one
I got it, performance for this EDP can be improved. If you have Profumo or Profondo already, stick to those.
Wore the EDP yesterday, for about 2 hours after overspraying. Classy, but a big but, hardly a scent after that. Not nose blind, because my friends could not smell it at all. Nothing, zero, zilch, nada. Eau de parfum? You have got to be kidding me. A no buy for me.
I enjoy the scent but yeah performance can be much improved. I think since they made this refillable, they want people over spraying.
👍
