    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

  • @djjdnewyork1
    @djjdnewyork1 ปีที่แล้ว

    Regarding Profumo: smelled the original ADG when visiting my nephew, and was super impressed. Visited him recently and smelled the Profumo--total letdown. (To be fair, I'm a freshie/neroli fiend.) Profumo smells way heavier (and thus "perfumey")--which is not at all what drew me to the original. I barely found them similar. Ash is incorrect in picking it above the original! Though am sure it's cuz he's burned out on the former.
    Went to the trouble of posting this because I was going to buy Profumo blind based on all the rave reviews -- and, critically, on my liking the original -- and I would've been totally disappointed.

    My Acqua Di Gio list:
    1. ABSOLU
    2. ESSENZA
    3. PROFUMO
    4. PROFONDO
    5. ORIGINAL

    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. :)

    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.

    Got to be honest my first armani was mania. Then i was put on gio by the lady at belks. Hooked since became signature scent as well. Then Ezzenza cam out and blew it away. Out of these you listed id say profumo is my favorite for sure

    Ah. I was hoping you’d talk about Blue Edition , most people don’t even know it existed. I was able to score a 200ml size of it a month or two back and man… what a gem. That persimmon note gives it such a beautiful variation. Lands in between the OG & Profondo in my opinion.

      @@umpus unfortunately it was a limited run back on 2014. I have no idea how I got so lucky to get it from the only seller that had 1 and kept it intact & pristine over 7 years! I do wish it was a permanent one, way better than most ADG.

    My favorite has to be absolut. It's great for all weathertypes, which is great. Also, It gets a crazy amount of compliments, especially from ladies. In fact when I bought it, I was shopping with 3 women from all ages and they all picked absolut out of the line up. I'm never understand why it gets so much hate
