Acqua di Giò Profondo is one of the most modern and sophisticated interpretations of the classic "marine" Acqua di Giò. Designed for those who love the aquatic and Mediterranean freshness but desire a fragrance with greater depth, elegance, and clarity—a contemporary scent that evokes the sea, the sea breeze, and a natural, relaxed sensuality.
Olfactory pyramid
Top notes: Marine notes / aquatic accord (AquoZone / calone), Bergamot, Brazilian green mandarin
The opening is immediately marine and fresh, with an "ocean accord" reminiscent of salty breezes, sea water, and salty air. Bergamot and green mandarin add a citrusy, juicy brightness, making the opening bright, sparkling, and very summery.
Heart notes: Rosemary, Lavender, Cypress, Mastic (and aromatic/Mediterranean notes)
At the heart, the fragrance evolves, becoming more herbaceous and Mediterranean: green and slightly resinous aromas evoke coastal shrubs and pine forests, lending depth and a natural, clean sensation, as if you were on a cliff bathed in the sea breeze. Base notes: Guatemalan patchouli, musk, a mineral/saline amber accent.
The base adds body and stability: patchouli provides an earthy and slightly woody base, musk adds softness and delicacy, while the amber-mineral accord combines the saline sensation with an elegant and masculine depth, making the trail persistent and recognizable.
Character of the fragrance
Acqua di Giò Profondo EDP is a fresh, aromatic aquatic-marine fragrance , with a clean, natural and contemporary style, ideal for those who love marine fragrances but want a more modern and profound interpretation.
At first it is fresh, marine and citrusy , evoking the sea, the saltiness, the coast.
At the heart it becomes aromatic-Mediterranean , with vegetal and green notes reminiscent of pine forests, Mediterranean scrub and salty air.
In the dry-down it settles on an earthy, musky and slightly saline base , remaining on the skin in an elegant and discreet way.
The result is a perfume that conveys freedom, naturalness and a relaxed elegance , capable of making you feel at ease in informal and sophisticated contexts at the same time.
Occasions of use
Acqua di Giò Profondo EDP is ideal for:
Spring, summer, early autumn , or warm or mild days — perfect for sunny weather, light, outdoor activities.
Everyday use : city, work, leisure, holidays, training, trips, casual-elegant situations.
Relaxed or active moments , warm days, sea, beach, holidays but also urban contexts — thanks to its marine freshness and versatile character.
It is an "easy-wearing" perfume: light but refined, clean but recognizable, suitable for those who want an everyday and "tasteful" perfume.
Performance
Persistence: Moderate — many report 4–6 hours on the skin with initial projection. It then tends to transform into a more intimate sillage.
Projection / Sillage: Initially good, fresh and perceptible; over time it becomes closer to the skin but with a soft, salty-woody base.
It is not an extremely powerful or long-lasting fragrance like some amber or gourmand perfumes: it rather focuses on lightness, elegance and comfort — a perfume that “stays close” but leaves a clean and pleasant trail.
Conclusion
Acqua di Giò Profondo EDP is a perfect fragrance for those seeking a hint of the sea, freshness, and natural elegance , with a modern and clean soul. It is a perfume free from excessive formalities , suitable for a dynamic, urban man or a lover of the sea.
It's ideal as an everyday signature scent for spring/summer: light, fresh, discreet yet coherent, pleasant and versatile. If you're looking for a seductive and powerful scent, it might not be the best choice—but if you want something "healthy," natural, and easily wearable, Profondo does its job very well.
