How does this 2024 version compare to the original Acqua di Giò?+−
This version is significantly more intense and marine-focused. While the original EDT is light, floral, and airy, Profondo adds a deep salty character, green citrus, and a heavier woody base, making it more noticeable and longer-lasting.
Is this fragrance suitable for the office or workspace?+−
Yes, it is highly regarded as a top-tier professional scent. The lavender and rosemary notes give it a clean, "barbershop" neatness that feels groomed and respectful in close quarters, provided it isn't over-applied.
How does it perform in cold weather?+−
While primarily designed for spring and summer, the inclusion of patchouli and cedarwood gives it enough body to cut through cooler air. However, it may lose its "sparkle" in freezing temperatures where a spicier or heavier scent would perform better.
Is this scent considered unisex?+−
It is marketed for men and follows a traditional masculine profile featuring aromatic herbs and woods. While anyone can wear it, the lavender and cedarwood combination aligns with classic masculine "blue" fragrances.
