“Profondo, recut for 2024 — same Mediterranean DNA, smoother edges, prettier bottle.”
The 2024 EDP reformulation of Acqua di Giò Profondo — Alberto Morillas's launch, a saltier, more mineral take on the 2020 original. Sea notes and green mandarin at the top, a rosemary heart, settling on an ambergris drydown. A spring and summer daytime fragrance.
The take
What works
- ●More balanced than the 2020 original — less mineral scratchiness in the drydown
- ●Cedar-ambergris addition gives it slightly more warmth and refinement
- ●New refillable bottle is the line's nicest design yet
Trade-offs
- ●Reformulation is subtle — owners of 2020 Profondo don't need both
- ●Performance reports run shorter than the 2020 release (3–4 hours decent sillage)
- ●The flanker tree is now confusing — Profondo, Profondo Parfum, Profondo EDP 2024, Profondo EDT 2025 — buyers struggle to choose
