Acqua di Giò - Parfum Elixir

Yet Another Elixir That Falls Flat

An ode to previous releases, one being the infamous AdG Profumo, this recent release falls flat. Lacking personality while only adding quality ingredients that are derived from previous creations. The note that stands out to me is leather, which makes its presence in the dry down. But before reaching that point, how does it smell? This composition follows a similar structure to previous iterations. Surprising us with a richer and deeper olfactory experience. In the introduction, a blend of bergamot and mandarin awaits. Bright, zingy, and full of life, instantly portraying a summer vibe. Following up is a blend of ozonic notes consisting of violet and calone. Their natural and synthetic nature creates a beautifully dense, dewy finish, adding heft and complexity to this creation. Reminiscent of the deep ocean! This creation's simplistic nature may have you overlook its lovely dry down, as leather and patchouli rise up. Enveloping the composition completely, these two seamlessly blend into a rich edgy complexion. As earthy leathery touches peek through, further amplifying the masculine aroma this scent embodies. @giorgioarmani @armanibeauty #perfume #sotd #giorgioarmani #armani #acquadigiò #italian #vibe #ocean #vibes #summer

Great fragrance

Great scent from a worldwide global fragrance house fresh and aromatic with a long lasting scent that stays with you from morning to late into the evening.

Acqua di Giò Elixir is a fresh, intense, and refin

Acqua di Giò Elixir is a bold, mature twist on the classic fragrance. It starts fresh with citrus and nutmeg, then quickly moves into a clean, slightly green aquatic vibe. The dry-down is where it really shines — smooth leather, patchouli, and vetiver give it a warm, sophisticated edge. It lasts a long time (8–12 hours easily), and the projection is strong without being too overpowering. Great for evenings or special occasions, but still fresh enough for daytime wear. Think of it as Acqua di Giò all grown up — deeper, darker, and more refined.

Manly fragrance with warm woody notes

Received a sample to try, so I am unable to give an opinion on what the packaging and value for money would be. However, the perfume gives the really manly fragrance with woody notes. It lasted throughout most of the day.

Highly recommended for those who appreciate refine

Timeless scent

As you'd expect from Armani, a timeless scent with fresh ess and long lasting appeal. This could be worn at any occasion and has a throw worth noting. A classic and well made fragrance.

Super product

This smells amazing and will be purchasing in the near future had so many positive comments regarding this scent when we went out for a family meal very attractive smell

now part of my permanent collection

As soon as Armani came out with the Elixir for Aqua Di Gio, I bought it with no hesitation, and I am extremely satisfied with my decision. The only thing that disappoints is the fact that it does not come in a larger bottle. I was hoping for 100ml. The smell is AMAZING.

Great longevity

This scent is strong but not overpowering, I have been complimented on the scent a few times. Longevity is really good and did not require a top up within 24 hours. A little goes a long way! Highly recommended

long lasting

This is a new fragrance Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Elixir is a Woody Aromatic fragrance with a long lasting scent. The botte has a very sleek design.

The only way

The The Big Lie was the most successful of all of them and the only reason they didn’t get the nomination is that the majority were in the wrong place to

Give it a try - you won’t be disappointed!

Lovely tester - used it way too quick. Really nice, fresh smell that got people turning their heads. Would definitely like a bigger sample to try as there just wasn’t enough. Would recommend though as it was a lovely smell.
