Acqua di Giò - Parfum Elixir

Fresh scent

This aftershave has a fresh and citrusy scent which lasts throughout the duration of wearing it and because of the scent I would say its a good choice for summer months.

Excellent

One of my all time favourite and go to aftershaves. The exlir version is much longer lasting and smells divine. This receives so many compliments.

A confidence booster!

A seductive scent by Georgio Armani. Acqua Di Gio has a strong level of fragrance. it's modern and uplifting... a real confidence booster and suitable to use on any occasion. I personally like it very much and have asked my partner to buy me a full bottle for my upcoming birthday!

Woody and Spicy, yet fresh.

Masculine and fresh, this Acqua Di Gio Elixir was a pleasant surprise from other fragrances in the range. It’s modern, fresh but has that air of masculinity with it. As with all Acqua fragrances the undertones are woody and spicy but fresh also. I’d be tempted to get this fragrance again.

Timeless Freshness in a Bottle

Giorgio Armani’s Aqua di Giò is a classic for a reason. With crisp marine notes, zesty citrus, and a touch of earthy musk, it captures the essence of sea breeze and sun-kissed skin. Clean, masculine, and effortlessly elegant, perfect for everyday wear or a summer evening out.Its a shame I just recieved a sample.

Nice (small) aftershave

This was a really nice aftershave with a clear, rich floral odour. It’s quite strong though not overpowering and lasts a reasonable length of time. My only disappointment was that this was an extremely small sample, the same size as those given away in perfume shops.

My new go to perfume!

I recently had the pleasure of trying the ACQUA DI GIO ELIXIR in a small sample bottle, and I must say, it left a lasting impression! This fragrance is a beautiful evolution of the classic Acqua di Gio scent, offering a more intense and sophisticated take that is perfect for both day and evening wear. Upon first spritz, I was greeted with refreshing citrus notes that are characteristic of the original fragrance. However, what sets the ELIXIR apart is the depth it introduces with richer undertones of floral and woody elements. The heart of the scent reveals hints of jasmine and rosemary, which adds a lovely complexity. Finally, the base notes have a warm, seductive finish with hints of amber and patchouli, making it a wonderful choice for those seeking a fragrance that transitions beautifully from day to night. One of the standout features of ACQUA DI GIO ELIXIR is its impressive projection. The fragrance has a moderate to strong sillage, which means it lingers in the air and is noticeable without being overpowering—ideal for making a statement. You can confidently wear it in various settings, knowing that it will be appreciated without overwhelming those around you. The longevity of the scent is also remarkable; it lasts several hours, which is a key factor in my fragrance preferences. As for value for money, I believe the ACQUA DI GIO ELIXIR offers excellent performance relative to its cost. While a high-end fragrance, the quality and lasting power justify the price. The sample size is perfect for testing it out or for travel, allowing you to enjoy this luxurious scent without the full investment of a larger bottle right away. Overall, I highly recommend the ACQUA DI GIO ELIXIR for anyone who enjoys fresh yet sophisticated fragrances. It’s a delightful addition to any fragrance collection, and I definitely plan on purchasing a full-sized bottle after my sample runs out!

An impressive blend of freshness and maturity

Acqua di Gio Elixir is a bold evolution of a classic, and even from a sample, I knew this would be a full-bottle purchase for me. While it opens with a familiar citrus freshness typical of the Acqua di Gio line, it’s the when the base comes through that truly sets it apart. Once the initial aquatic brightness mellows, the fragrance takes a richer, more textured turn. The base notes (particularly the leather and patchouli) are what make this shine for me. They bring an earthy depth and quiet elegance that elevate this beyond a standard scent. Though it’s positioned as a mass-appealing, versatile fragrance, Elixir offers more nuance than I expected. The violet leaf and vetiver peek through as it develops, adding green complexity without feeling overly synthetic. That interplay with the leather gives it an almost niche-like character at a far more approachable price point. It’s a compliment-getter for sure, but also one I enjoy just for myself. It has strong projection in the opening and comfortably lasts most of the day, settling into a smooth skin scent that doesn’t vanish. In short, Acqua di Gio Elixir is an impressive blend of freshness and maturity. It’s wearable in many situations, but what makes it memorable is the confident warmth of the base. That leathery, patchouli-driven finish is exactly what I love in a fragrance, and it lingers in a way that feels both refined and quietly assertive. Highly recommended for those who appreciate designer quality with just enough depth to hint at something more exclusive. A solid five stars.

Amazing scent recommend 10/10

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Acqua di Giò Elixir is amazing!. It opens with a burst of fresh citrus and aromatic herbs, then into warm notes of amber, patchouli, and a touch of incense. The scent is rich, masculine, and sophisticated for me What truly stands out is how long it last. Just one or two sprays last over 6 hours, making it a great value. Elixir strikes a perfect balance between freshness and depth, capturing the spirit of the sea with a smoky, elegant twist. It’s a modern, confident scent that leaves a lasting impression. Highly recommended for fans of the original looking for something deeper.
