Acqua di Giò Parfum is the 2023 evolution of one of the most recognizable men's fragrances ever made — and Alberto Morillas has done something genuinely interesting here: he's taken the familiar coast...
Performance is a common talking point: most enthusiasts agree the Parfum delivers meaningfully better longevity than the original Acqua di Giò, with many reporting all-day wear — a major reason people upgrade from the EDT version.
The fragrance is frequently compared to the Profumo (the earlier darker flanker), with the general consensus being that the Parfum sits between the two: fresher than the Profumo but more grounded and mature than the original.
Value discussions are lively — this is considered a strong buy, especially when found at a discount, often mentioned alongside other premium fragrances as a standout deal in the aquatic category.
Use case is broad: it's regularly recommended as a versatile daily wear or office-appropriate option, rather than a special-occasion fragrance, though it can carry into casual evenings without feeling out of place.
Spring and summer are the obvious peak seasons in community consensus, though the frankincense base leads some enthusiasts to argue it works better in shoulder seasons than a typical aquatic would.
