Is Giorgio still as strong as it was in the 1980s?+−
While many enthusiasts feel modern formulations by Elizabeth Arden are slightly more wearable than the original bottles from the early 80s, it remains famous for its extreme longevity and will still outlast most contemporary Eau de Toilettes.
Is this a safe fragrance for a blind buy?+−
Only if you enjoy loud, sweet white florals like tuberose and gardenia. Given its polarizing nature and the "love it or hate it" history of its scent profile, testing a sample first is highly recommended.
What is the best season to wear this fragrance?+−
Though it has a "ray of sunshine" personality that suits spring and summer, the community often prefers it in fall and winter. The cool air helps tame the intensity of the sweet peach and heavy florals.
How does this compare to modern floral fragrances?+−
Modern florals tend to be sheerer and more "watery." Giorgio is much denser, creamier, and more "spicy" by comparison, with a woody oakmoss and patchouli base that is rarely found in today’s mainstream floral releases.
