My gratis bottle of Acqua di Gio Eau de Parfum Intense finally landed from Influenster. When a fragrance throws the word intense into the release, you have a reasonable expectation that it's, uh, well, INTENSE. Well, the chemical engineers over at Armani and I apparently don't see eye-to-eye in that arena.
So if you like the Acqua di Gio line, odds are you'll like this. The early reviews saying this was a modern Absolu aren't wrong, but just aren't quite right, either. You've probably got a 75% similarity to that discontinued gem (my favorite of the line) and then it hard veers like grandma's driving off to a fruiter less mineraly (is that even a word?) version where the green apple and woods remain -- almost a dead ringer for YSL Y EDP.
Back to the "intense" -- or lack there of. Unlike many of the AdG line that have excellent performance and radiate off my skin, this went from 100-to-skin scent in like 3-4 hours.
In the end, if you love the AdG line and want a greener version for your collection, it will fill that void. If not, I'd pass on this release as I think they've really missed the mark.
