Giorgio Armani
Acqua di Giò Parfum
“The classic Mediterranean scent, grown up and finally with something to say.”

The 2023 Parfum concentration of Acqua di Giò — Alberto Morillas's launch, a denser, smokier, more olibanum-driven take on the aquatic-marine DNA. Marine notes at the top, a rosemary heart, settling on an olibanum-patchouli drydown. A spring and summer daytime fragrance.
