      So true. Most videos/opinions I see on it lean more on the critical side. Of the ADG line I only own profumo and absolu, and absolu is a way more pleasant and enjoyable fragrance imo. I don't particularly dislike profumo, but it is ridiculously overrated.

    Clearly the most accurate description of the currently available ADG line, as a result of Ash’s passion and years of experience wearing the fragrances.

    Dua brand has a hybrid of Profundo and Roja Parfums Elysium. My nose loves it.
    If you're not into clones and budget permits, try layering the two.
    Also, regarding Dua they have what could be an ADG flanker that's their own mix, called "out at sea". If ADG is standing on the dock, Out at Sea would be on boat...at sea. I think someone confused it with ADG because they asked me what it was saying they'd smelled it before (going back to what Ash said about people having smelled it at some point). Apparently had a noticeable sillage.

    I had the original, have been wearing Profondo for some months from a sample of it, and tried Profumo at a shop.
    for me, *Profondo* is a best of all three, as the "vineagerish" note of an OG in it has been slightly cut, yet keeping it fresh and clean, like an original.
    *Profumo* on my skin gets down to an OG composition in the next 20-30 min after applying, so personally I see no reason to overpay for this variant.
    maybe I didn't wear it often enough, who knows.
    and *Absolu* for me is just a bad take over the washing bowder with a bubble-gum sweetness, this one didn't fit me at all, so I've given a small bottle of it to one of my friends - and he got it well! :)
    in any case, I'll try it as soon, as I am able to.
    greetings from Ukraine. :)

    There's something in the aqcua di gio DNA that's smell dated to me something green, although absolu is my favourite and i hope they don't discontinue it

      Dated what do you know about dated? I diss agree I think that green edge keeps it woody and earthy keeps it relevant an versatile.

    I love Profondo. Gorgeous summer scent. I plan on picking up Absolu even though i dont need it. Thankfully I have a 4.2 ml of the discontinued Profumo. ADG Parfum will get picked up when the price drops.

      You (and people around you) are going to love Absolu. It is the most complimented fragrance I own. I've got the EDP and Profondo also. The entire line is up there with Allure for me.

    I’ve gotten some Profumo samples and have given it a try, but I find myself missing the floral notes in the original. The original ADG EDT was just such a masterful balance of light/dark and light/heavy - and the flankers shift in various directions and lose that balance.

    I always trust Ash, so ADG Profondo is on top of my list to buy next, sprayed some over the weekend (reason why I’m watching this) and I LOVE IT, I need it.

  • @mosesbro7
    @mosesbro7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Excellent description!!! I’m “middle age”, and have never worn any ADG fragrances until this year. I have Profumo, Profondo, and the original. Love all three. My personal favorite is Profumo, but I get more compliments on Profondo, as people seem to like that one better (especially younger people). But I think Profumo is a more mature and spicier scent, which is probably why I like it best.
    Trying to decide which ADG fragrance to buy next? Any suggestions??? I’m thinking Absolu

  • @DS-mo5db
    @DS-mo5db 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Absolute instinct is the most underrated imo. It has similarities with Profumo. I would def check this one out. Back up bottle worthy

  • @fedorfan
    @fedorfan 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I wanted to buy Profondo because of the hype on TH-cam. Then I tried it and didn't like it. Smells very synthetic and artificial to my nose. Bought the EdP instead. The real king is Profumo, though.
    Thanks for your videos!

    I still just rock the OG when I’m just around the house and then Absolu. Absolu, to me, doesn’t get the credit it deserves, imo, and doesn’t get as sickly sweet as things like Hawas and Invictus Aqua, and retains a bit of the minerality and freshness of the ADG line, which is something I dig. Absolu is more versatile than people give it credit for. I think bc the OG became what it did without any sweetness, the introduction of a more sweet leaning frag seemed to be a bit of a challenge to interpret within the line. For me, Absolu might slide in with guys that don’t tend to go for sweet fragrances bc the sweetness is reigned in while providing a more mature profile than your average sweet fragrance. While Invictus Aqua, Legend Spirit and Rasasi Hawas are all akin to each other, Absolu says ‘I can pay homage to that scent profile without triggering those who don’t care for sweet, AND make it work for more seasons and scenarios’. That’s how much I think Absolu is misunderstood, if I’m being honest.

    You said you used to work in the arcade at the mall. Was that East Towne Mall, or rather Knoxville Center Mall?? (I live in Knoxville, TN. and noticed your wife was wearing a TN Vols shirt in a video ranking Pineapple Vintage colognes, and assumed ya'll must live around here in East Tennessee somewhere, lol.) But I used to love the arcade in Knoxville Center, and thought it'd be cool if that was the one you were talking about working at. Either way, Go Vols!!!
