Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio , 10.2 oz EDT Spray

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The bottle is sleek and square exuding the timeless quality the fragrance launched in 1996. Ever since, Acqua Di Gio has turned into a classic scent for any man. I jumped out of the morning shower and felt the slight texture of the frosted glass as my fingers wrapped around the squared off sides of the 20ml bottle. My bathroom lights from above refract through the glass and create an aquatic aura calculating the notes trapped within the frosted prison. I press to release the juice and saturate my pulse points. Instantly, I forget that I am in my Oregon bathroom and see myself walking through groves of Orange during the time of their life when their blossoms release essence in the soft air currents. Ocean water in the distance crash upon beach rocks and create a magical ozonic atmosphere that is cool, refreshing and briny. I smell lemon at the top mixed with orange and jasmine, I am welcomed and kissed with a Mediterranean semblance. Acqua Di Gio then turns into a luxury vacation and notes of hyacinth, rosemary, sage and Calone make part of the heart. A spiciness of nutmeg and coriander is tempered by the base of delicious rich resinous cedar, amber, oakmoss and white musk. This fragrance exudes strength, positivity, energy and confidence. Even though this fragrance is marketed towards men, I know of several women who have clutched this as their signature daily. Acqua Dio Gio 20ml bottle is currently going for $35 on the Giorgio Armani website and would make a great travel and work bottle for on the go. I believe this is a great price to try this iconic fragrance and have actually purchase a larger 200ml bottle that I was able to engrave though Armani. Scent lasts around 5 - 7 hours and anytime someone passes by, they ask what I am wearing. I would recommend this quintessential fragrance to anyone despite its popularity. Acqua Di Gio has been a top seller for over two decades and there is definitely a reason why. If you want to be transported to sunny skies, briny and aromatic fresh citrus oceans, please try this fragrance out.

Was the real deal at a great price!
