Created by Alberto Morillas, it has notes of marine, bergamot, rosemary, clary sage, geranium, olibanum and patchouli. Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Parfum is a parfum. This is the 2023 version (nonmagnetic cap, 125ml bottle and does NOT have the Armani branding at the bottom of the bottle.

Fragrantica - "I was highly impressed by this flanker of ADG. Its a very handsome scent that is mainly a woody aquatic, with an emphasis on the wood. The olibanum adds a lot of depth to the scent and gives it a very professional vibe. When I smell it I imagine a tall, sharp-featured man in a black button up shirt and slacks."
Fragrantica - "This is the best acqua di gio in term of smell and longevity. I wish they keep this forever and not reformulate it."
Fragrantica - "this is absolutely reminiscent of Profumo with even the same scent profile from opening to dry-down. Immediately you will notice Parfum is fresher than Profumo: Take that peppery incense from Profumo and turn it down a bit then add a bit more citrus freshness and you get the Parfum version, absolutely lovely. This deserves to be your summer statement fragrance, if you are scared to use your Profumo bottle like me, buy the Parfum instead and use this more often in the heat, or even mix it with Profumo. Also, it actually lasts pretty damn well! All day on my clothing. 9/10 surprised me in a good way."
Fragrantica - "I love this fragrance, Incredibly nostalgia inducing for me. Funny enough the opening smells EXACTLY like those old Nik L Nip wax bottles my mother would buy for me at convenience stores, dries down to a very sweet and smooth fragrance that women really like. While being for "Men" I would 100% this as a unisex wear and if i had a woman and smelled this on her, i would be all over her in complete honesty. Moderate Projection and Longevity is pretty good. Blind buy for me based off of reviews and watched and it was 100% worth it. Would buy again!"
Fragrantica - "I have Profumo on my left hand and Parfum on my right, they are VERY similar. The Parfum is slightly brighter, but the Profumo projects much better. Other than that they are virtually the same in the dry down. The incense is toned down ever so slightly in Parfum which is why it comes across brighter IMHO."
