I got a 125 ml bottle of EDP for $133.60 CDN (about $104 USD) @ my local retail store here in Canada as they give 20% Senior discount every Thursday. Great review.
Gonna buy this one, just to have the whole line 🥳 must say, i like them all but think that absolute instinct is really underrated and not much talked about. Give it a try and some love 💪
So I bought a decant sample of this stuff because I didn’t wanna buy the full bottle just yet and so far I’m on the fence about it. I do like it and it smells really nice but I’m not not getting longevity unfortunately and I was kinda hoping it would be more aquatic but It’s not.
I went to Macy's and smelled a sample. its exactly like the original jus ramped up a bit. Great fragrance but no creativity. Jus remaking something that should've been made right the first time. But it is what it is. Still a great fragrance.
I just got this yesterday and wore it today. I definitely don't love it and not even sure I like it. All I keep smelling is cannabis on the dry down. The opening is super good, but this is for sure my least favorite of the line (except never tried instinct)
I have both Profondo and Profondo lights. I don’t think they smell the same and I still prefer Profondo. You can buy samples of both of them online before buying a bottle
Have you tried the newer batches of profumo? They've changed the scent and bottle slightly (less incense and no magnetic cap), would be nice to get your opinion
you might get noose blind to it, but profondo is even stronger than profumo, i get 10 hours, never heard of anyone gettting 3 hours from profondo ever in my life, like for real.
@@antonioharvey2130 nope never heard of that but I will give it a try. I get about 10 hours on my profumo but I don’t want to wear that often since it might get discontinued :/
Dry down smells like the locker room after a Chicago Bears football game..... sadly sold off my bottle. Loved the opening....loved the mid....unfortunately the drydown left me in tears....
@@Antagonistfc I think it may be because they are not used to the smell of natural sage. Sage has a strong aromatic profile, and when it's not stripped of it's almost earthy dense character, it doesn't come out like a sweet clean showerjelly aromatic undertone like you find in the Y line. That's why I love ADG EDP: it has that raw sage aromaticness, balanced with fruity and mineral notes, and a nice tame vetiver.
Just grabbed a 2022 bottle of profumo..not sure what the older bottles smelled like but this is not great. Nice opening then becomes wet dirt with ADG hints...don't get this amazing incense I heard about.
What is the slight skunky smell during the opening 10-15 minutes? I’d like to know what note that is. It’s a bit off putting to me but then when the dry down begins, it gets really nice and soft. The scent trail is amazing after the first hour or so.
Just got it for Christmas and I love it. Lots of depth and true to the classic. I also have profondo and love it too. Wish I bough the profumo before it was discontinued.
@@DSweet101 it really isn’t. It’s widely available. Armani have also confirmed It’s NOT discontinued. Don’t fall for all the youtuber hype about it being discontinued. 💯not.
@@DSweet101 it’s widely available in Europe. America may be different but Armani have also confirmed it’s not discontinued. It maybe limited due to shipping etc
I left a comment describing my experience. The minerals and saltiness combined with the mandarin gave it a super cannabis smell off of me. Off the strip it was fresh and almost green with some sea saltiness. Very pleasant. But off skin it was weed for hours. A whiff of it in traffic from another car smoking out can be nice or bring back memories, but I don't wanna smell it on me all day long. Just my experience. Gave me a headache.
@@christopherlevinanakofigug1178 it lasts longer and definitely different although the same DNA. Elixir lasts forever but EDP is not bad. I use Elixir more but say I am going out for a casual event then the EDP is more likely to be used.
Before that, they even changed the formula of Profumo. That great smoky incense smell that would linger on your clothes for days. They took it out. Pissed of about it because when I bought it I wanted what was in the tester.
I wanted to like this one SO MUCH! I love the OG, like everyone else. Unfortunately, on my skin, it gave off a SERIOUS cannabis fume. I say fume because it wasn't a scent, or vibe. It smelled like weed off of me. Not bad weed. Not skunky. Just like some frags have cannabis as a note, off my skin, it was the MAIN MAIN note. I couldn't. So sad, for me.
The answer is subjective. For me, I like it way better than profondo but Profumo and Essenza still the top 2 out of the ADG line imo. You would need to get a couple of samples to make your decision. I rarely use my profondo bottle but I have been using this new EDP everyday. Hope this helps
@@Pedro-yr6nk I hope that's what it is, I just received my EDP sprayed my hand twice and washed my hand and could still smell it after 3 hours of washing my hand.
This release makes me think of a restaurant that used to be good, built a reputation, and just rides the reputation without putting any attention to details that made them great in the first place. The EDP is a mess… fishy, unsmoked weed scent that doesnt last even if you wanted it too, what a disaster.
This one is as boring as Profondo imo. Profumo, and maybe even Absolu, actually have some personality to them. The rest of them can be swapped out and most people cant tell the difference.
It’s pretty sad that the new edp is way weaker than the original. I’m not saying the scent is bad. But it’s a massive disappointment. I remember the original before it was reformulated. I could walk into a club and know that someone had it on. I could pick it up instantly. This here is weak. Sad

Profumo still my favorite out of the line. But I do like the EDP over Profondo.
Gonna buy this one, just to have the whole line 🥳 must say, i like them all but think that absolute instinct is really underrated and not much talked about. Give it a try and some love 💪
Its pretty nice. To me its just the original with a little bit more of a green metallic essence. Good stuff
Damn, I got no ADG in the collection. Gotta check it out
@@WarrenF19 its a great line. Profumo is by far my favorite
@@naids4858I just ordered that and the new EDP, thx
@@WarrenF19 nice Warren, let me know what you think when they arrive!
That's exactly what it is. While I like it, this video seems paid

If Giorgio Armani will release the ADG Parfum version, it's nice to collect all the ADG flankers.. I'm so hyped up.
The edp warrants the most complements by far it’s the tangerine in the opening spectacular
This and the Profumo are the best.
I'm wearing ADG EDP ... clean and fresh fragrance
The EdP is just freakin' awesome. 👌
Ill say it..... Nautica Voyage EDP would be just wonderful. If NV lasted more than 4 hrs.......yes please.
My first ADG and it has not disappointed!
Been loving my bottle of Profondo, definitely going to pick up a bottle of the EDP at some point.
Macy’s “Friends” promo, 15%off beauty, starts second week of June.
Be well fragheads.
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
This adg EDP smells very similar to dior homme sport its like almost a clone of it
Been using the OG for 20 years now...
Tried a few samples. Love the ADG line, getting this one for sure
I just got this yesterday and wore it today. I definitely don't love it and not even sure I like it. All I keep smelling is cannabis on the dry down. The opening is super good, but this is for sure my least favorite of the line (except never tried instinct)
EDP is great a worthy buy. Does anybody have an opinion of Profondo lights ? Thinking about it but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
It smells too similar to Profondo for me to buy it
I have both Profondo and Profondo lights. I don’t think they smell the same and I still prefer Profondo. You can buy samples of both of them online before buying a bottle
Profondo lights way better. Has a spicy aspect to it that makes it a lot sexier than profondo.
Have you tried the newer batches of profumo? They've changed the scent and bottle slightly (less incense and no magnetic cap), would be nice to get your opinion
just a Slight change still Amazing...magnetic cap was cool..but is still functional
Armani drops the same thing that smells a little different for years... And we all fall for it
That’s what flankers are supposed to be. If you want something completely different buy something completely different
Sadly I only get about 3-4 hours on profondo so I might have to pick this up
Hey have you tried chrome Extreme I get 7 hrs on that one and you know they smell very similar
you might get noose blind to it, but profondo is even stronger than profumo, i get 10 hours, never heard of anyone gettting 3 hours from profondo ever in my life, like for real.
@@antonioharvey2130 nope never heard of that but I will give it a try. I get about 10 hours on my profumo but I don’t want to wear that often since it might get discontinued :/
@@thegoodfoke3606 can it be because I have gift bottle?
Hey buddy, I get 10 hrs plus from my profondo is really strong to me
The opening of Profumo is 10x Better than the dry down
Never was a fan of the OG it was just ok for me, smelled the edp it's aightttt! My favorite is the absolute 💯 🔥
Dry down smells like the locker room after a Chicago Bears football game..... sadly sold off my bottle. Loved the opening....loved the mid....unfortunately the drydown left me in tears....
On my skin it dries down similar to Profondo 😶
@@sjnscaleyeah don’t get why people keep saying it smells like BO

smell like zaza
For me, Absolu still the greatest one👍👍
Me too. Extremely underrated.
What's the age range for this fragrance?
Just tried it at Dillards. It was between this and BDC Parfum and we all know I chose the parfum. Lol
Just grabbed a 2022 bottle of profumo..not sure what the older bottles smelled like but this is not great. Nice opening then becomes wet dirt with ADG hints...don't get this amazing incense I heard about.
if i already have profondo, should i still get it?

My wife Loves Profondo on me but I HATE it, gives me a headache, I feel as if I'm giving off a strong cheap smelling cologne vibe.
This is the best of the line imo
Can't wait to get my bottle!
Idk why this gets so much hate it smells really good

Tbh this one let me down, still prefer profumo and profondo
Got it this week and love it. Usually I am a Dior Elixir or Suavage EDP guy but will definitely be wearing AdG EDP in the warmer weather for a change.
How is the performance of Sauvage EDP when it comes longevity compared to Sauvage EDT. Thanks.
@@christopherlevinanakofigug1178 it lasts longer and definitely different although the same DNA. Elixir lasts forever but EDP is not bad. I use Elixir more but say I am going out for a casual event then the EDP is more likely to be used.
Chaos I’m at 57 year old man can u recommend a few colognes not really about the EOT
Chanel Allure Homme Sport. Armani Acqua Di Gio Profumo
If you wear fragrance but live in the woods and no one is around, do you still smell good?
I think Profondo is the best
Fantastic review 👌🏼 What do you prefer edp or profondo?
I have the EDT and this parfum and it does not smell anywhere as good as my original bottle of pour homme from the 90s.
Can you please review the new reformulation of ADG profumo with the slight bottle and cap change
I can’t believe they discontinued Profumo. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM?!?! First it’s essenza now it’s profumo. Seriously!
Before that, they even changed the formula of Profumo. That great smoky incense smell that would linger on your clothes for days. They took it out. Pissed of about it because when I bought it I wanted what was in the tester.
supply chain issues but it is not discontinued
@gijsg87 mine last all day and I bought mine about 3 months ago its a beast. I didn't know they discontinued so I will go easy on that one.
a good review. this one is now my spring/summer signature. started of with a 40ml but will get the refill bottle.
How I can join
Is this better than light blue intense for the summer
Hell ya way better
Grabbed this today! 🔥
This and Absolu going into heavy rotation this spring and summer!
Buying guide coming soon? 🌴👀🌴
Hi my friend! Do you know if the new version of acqua di gio profumo (with non magnetic cap) is always good??? Thank you very much
I wanted to like this one SO MUCH! I love the OG, like everyone else. Unfortunately, on my skin, it gave off a SERIOUS cannabis fume. I say fume because it wasn't a scent, or vibe.

Review cdnmi parfum✌
Smelt promising in the beginning.
Smells great but it’s missing that clean soapy powder that I miss from the O.G.
This is weird but it has a rotten egg smell on me after dry down. Why??
I was wondering if this would be redundant if I already have the Profumo
I have both,I really like the EDP and believe there is a big enough difference to justify having both
So if I have Profumo is it worth buying this?
yes
Buy Versace Pour Homme , you will save some money and have a better fragrance
😂 honestly i agree but both are good and really not similar
Not that much of a fan. Smells like I sprayed on the EDT and then peeled about six oranges.
Wish it performed better on me🙁
Would you take this over Profondo?
The answer is subjective. For me, I like it way better than profondo but Profumo and Essenza still the top 2 out of the ADG line imo. You would need to get a couple of samples to make your decision. I rarely use my profondo bottle but I have been using this new EDP everyday. Hope this helps
Versace Dylan Blue Eau De Parfum, please!
Dylan blue is EDT !!
My fave is still profondo but now the aqua di gio edp is my 2nd fave now
I somehow get some marijuana during the entire time
Just got Profondo in the mail, sprayed my hand 3 times and the scent starts to fade after 15 minutes
ive heard people they go noseblind to it easily.
@@Pedro-yr6nk I hope that's what it is, I just received my EDP sprayed my hand twice and washed my hand and could still smell it after 3 hours of washing my hand.
Adg usually has really good performance my profumo is beast mode
@@pauljudah1235 Nah both of my Profumo are good even my new EDP is good, just my Profondo is trash
@@Rico4801 Profondo definitely does not start disappearing after 15 minutes.
At first smell it reminded me of dolce & Gabbana light blue.
Absalutly
You are not reviewing fragrances you are just advertising them
This release makes me think of a restaurant that used to be good, built a reputation, and just rides the reputation without putting any attention to details that made them great in the first place. The EDP is a mess… fishy, unsmoked weed scent that doesnt last even if you wanted it too, what a disaster.
It smelled to me like watermelony but sharp, less sweet but sharp...
Anybody else smell a strong cannabis note from this cologne on the dry down?
“The opening of Profumo sucks” 😂
Some pple say this new acqua di gio edp smells like BO
I also get that on the dry down. Sadly sold of my new bottle.
also got that from light blue intense, wonder what it is
smells too green
This one is as boring as Profondo imo. Profumo, and maybe even Absolu, actually have some personality to them. The rest of them can be swapped out and most people cant tell the difference.
It’s pretty sad that the new edp is way weaker than the original. I’m not saying the scent is bad. But it’s a massive disappointment. I remember the original before it was reformulated. I could walk into a club and know that someone had it on. I could pick it up instantly. This here is weak. Sad
To long
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
First!!
It's still the old "Essenza" with a new name. Nothing new. Boring!
Armani is better than this
