“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.
The take
What works
- ●Patchouli-olibanum drydown finally gives AdG the staying power it needed
- ●Aquatic-incense pairing is genuinely distinctive in the AdG family
- ●Better performance than the EDT/EDP at similar pricing to the EDP
Trade-offs
- ●The original AdG fans may want more freshness and less incense
- ●Projection is still restrained for a Parfum
