Acqua di Gio Giorgio Armani for women

Loved this fragrance! Had compliments and inquiries all the time.

love.. love.. love.. speechless..

It reminds me of the original Gio but minus the spicy and deep touch of the original one.

It also reminds me of Eau de Verino, which is great as they are two of my favourites.

And I don't think its exclusively for the summer, I think it has enough sweetness from flowers for colder days too.

Will definitely purchase.

ice queen. eternal symbol of femdom in my mind )

too many descriptions for a simple fragrance.
Anyway I think it s too subtle for my nose cause I can barely smell it. and i hate spraying a lot of perfume on my skin when it seems too vapourous
if Michelle Pfeiffer wears this I can t believe it. doesn't suit at all.

I was introduced to this by a bf 15 years ago. I wore it steady for 7 yrs then wanted a new signature.
I wore Sensi until it was discontinued and have been floundering. This summer I have steadily
increased my scent collection (D&G Light Blue, Tresor In Love, Kenzo Flowers and Amour and Indian Holi, and Gucci Guilty) but am coming back to Gio. Men of varying ages compliment me when I wear it and women ask what I'm wearing. It's apparently versatile with my chemistry as I mature and that makes me quite happy. I think it can be worn anytime really. It smells amazing as it warms up on my pulse points, easily radiating, but not cloying. I don't get a headache from it like Chance. Apply once daily and be impressed how it upholds the integrity of its notes . Love, love, love it.

I just can't get it out of my head that this smells like a sweet bar of soap. I had a couple of blow-in cards that sent me over the moon, but misplaced them, and I bought this, thinking that it was the correct one. But no, when I found the card months later, it was Acqua di Gioia, not Acqua di Gio. I have tried several times to wear it, but just can't get the soapy image out of my head.

at first it smell so pleasant,but the end is soooo sweet and make me sick.

I have worn this since it was launched and it has never ceased to please me - if I dont wear it for a few weeks and then use it again, it hits me like the sweetest surprise and I wonder why I havent worn it for days. I love this scent.

I particularly like this for work. The citruses wake me up on the opening notes as I'm driving in, and the lily of the valley and other florals are prominent while I'm at work. The musk/woods ground it nicely, and it lasts well on me. The florals keep the pineapple -- usually a note that stands out not in a good way -- blended in nicely.

this is a nice, fresh scent. but i prefer to use it in cold weather, the fruityness seems to appear more strong in cold weather, really dont like to wear this in hot weather.

al momento è abbastanza fresca e piacevole, specie nelle giornate calde, ma alla lunga stanca....

typically Armani, this scent is very sophisticated. I could imagine any woman with class, one who knows, what she wants, wearing this. Wonderful!

from an xy: i must say i like wearing edt after i shower, even alone to bed. i am expanding my range i like chacharel (original), ck be, lanvin oxygen, narcisso rodriguez, acqua digio - men.

and i must say every time i'm in a shop testing smells i'm drawn back to this version so i thing its becoming one of my favorites even though designated female. and i even got a compliment from the mobile phone girl.... anyway married with kids - just aroma therapy for me. i really like this.

Over the years, I've probably received the most perfume compliments while wearing this. It seems to really drive some people crazy (in a good way).

I agree with Ouch! A great blend of fruit, floral and aquatic notes (in that order) with a pretty musk dry down. It's too sweet and musky to be considered aquatic in my opinion, even though the bottle of perfume visually reminds me of the ocean or swimming pools.

It's a great summer fragrance. Very uplifting and comforting. But I've worn it and enjoyed it in winter, too!

Got this as an aiport purchase this summer and of all the summer scents I have smelt liek this one the best. Fresh and not to strong, lasts long enough and not resticted to one season.

I generally don't do scents that smell aquatic....but this was my signature scent back in the 90's. Very fresh and cool.

I would say this is a floral aquatic fruity. It's all 3 elements perfectly.

There is a citrus in this that keeps it zingy, while also being quite powerfully floral. The flowers in here are fresh to compliment the overall aquatic/citrussy feel so it smells "light" in actual smell but is powerful in strength if that makes sense, it's like being punched in the face with a feather!

There's an almost tropical vibe to it and I think that probably comes from the pineapple, but...the main notes are the flowers (Which I can't pick out individually sorry) and the watery, fresh, oceanic notes.

I could see how this could become overpowering or quite heady if sprayed too much, but it definitley is a winner in my books. I know it's been around a long time but I'm only just smelling it now, feel like I may have missed the boat with this one!!

LOVELY !!!

I read where Michelle Pfeiffer wears this.

Smells like a wet, rainy, flowery feminine garden.
Very clear. This is a good choose for those, who likes fresh scents.
Compared to D&G Light Blue, this is less sour fruity, and more mature and flowery, I think.

I remember my old childhood friend wearing this fragrance. It smelled very nice on her.
To my disappointment it didn't smell as nice in the bottle when I went to check it out in the shop.
I've never tried it on myself as it was always "her" scent.

Conclusion: This scent can be very nice if it fits with your skin chemistry.

Another airport purchase from the 90s- it never smelled as fresh on me as I wanted it to, it always had some sort of off note that I wish wasn't there, probably the pineapple. It is an aquatic, fruity floral to me.

I really like ACG but just on the card or the cloth the scent blast smell very sunny summertime and intersting fresh flower little bit of sour fruit. I can easily detect and enjoy the palm leaf that make it uniqueness .. on me it smells so harsh and sour oddly way, I think it caused from my skin chemistry not work well with.. Good point the scent last very long ;).

It is my second fragrance from Armani house (after my beloved Emporio She). I like it more in the spring than in the summer, because it can become a little bit overwhelming in the heat. It is a mixture of floral, fruity and aquatic notes (I get this impression of immersion in cool and sweet scented water), quite refreshing and distinctive, it lasts a long time on skin and clothes, and is quite suitable for office - it seems to be a good compromise between elegance and casualness.
I think it bears resemblance to Gres Cabotine in some aspects at least, but the latter seems lighter to use on a daily basis for me. Also, I have an impression that overspraying Acqua di Gio may result in a slight migraine, so it is important to be reasonable when applying, especially that when you spray it, it seems soooo nice and encouraging to spray one more time.
Another problem with AdG is that the fragrance is extremely popular due to the huge number of knock-offs which kind of ruin the effect of otherwise pleasant concoction.
I like it, I appreciate and enjoy it from time to time, but I will not repurchase when I use the 100ml bottle up.

I loved Acqua di Giò years ago. It was my signature scent in high school. Now I look for perfumes more than EDT cause I bearly smell them on myself. Ideal for young girls or for summer:)

I used to use Aqua di Gio and really liked it. it is a long lasting fragrance.than I tried the new fragrance Aqua di Gioa, very pleasant fragrance and long lasting too. i liked very much these two parfumes and mabe in the future i will turn on using them.

Summer's in my country...Hurray!

Used to use this every day in a hot day but never bathe yourself into it. It's overpowering to some and may cause headache. It is long lasting.

This smells very very similar to Very Hollywood by Michael Kors. Wore this in high school back in the day.

another scent i bought when it first came out & used for many years on & off, never a "signiture scent" of mine but i enjoyed its "cleaness", a really easy scent to wear, i got more comments about this perfume from women tho, as opposed to men!!, good lasting power, nothing really offensive about this scent, but again nothing that really makes me feel "smiley" when im wearing it if that makes sense, another perfume i have sitting on my dressing table but i wear it only accasionally now.

A really nice floral fruity fragrance which smells 'clean' without being sterile or smelling like loo cleaner. It is very pleasant and easy to wear, romantic and great for the summer. It has very good sillage and longevity too. Might buy it in the summer.

I love this perfume. Smooth and soothing. I think hyacinth dominates this perfume which is something I adore...

Aquatic (yeah duh), fruity without beeing sweet, this is of course a summer scent.
It is supposed to be a sister perfume of the dreadful "Gio" , they certainly have something in common , but it seems as they removed what i hate from "Gio" which makes it a lot more wearable. I'd like to buy it , but it's not my "priority scent" yet.

Clean, nice, but not one of the perfumes that worth to be remembered.

Lovely, classy, elegent. It starts off with a great floral scent ending with a clean fresh drydown as though you just came out of shower..mmmmhhhh

I want to have the top and middle notes. The styrax doesn't match with the rest of the fragrance. At first it's fresh, similar to ck one, just like I imagined it, very very good, but in the end it's just a cream made of wood, I just want to get it off of my nose.

A migraine inducer for me... can't wear it.
recently found out why:
"The average perfume contained 10 known allergens that can trigger reactions from asthma to headaches to contact dermatitis. Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio contained the most known allergens, at 19." (posting the link in this review keeps killing my post, so I can send one to you via PM)

I love it. One of my favorite fragrances.

I don't know if anyone else had this issue. I tried it on the card... I thought to myself, this is great, I love it, I think this is my new fragrance... Then I sprayed it on my skin.... all i can say is, horrible, fly spray, filthy, sour, sharp... And it never recovered... The same thing happened with my friend...

Sadly, I can't wear this. But it is really nice on the card, fresh, sparkling, floral, a bit citrusy...

Sorry there is nothing special about this fragrance.. It just a typical watery,aquatic smell..nothing special..Also I can smell hints of the Male version Aqua Di Gio..
Very boring.

It's perfekt when you're tired as hell. It somehow takes you to the seacoast. You're feeling freedom and energy. It's elegant like for fresh one. It's nothing about toilet,how somebody said. Aqua di gio is mistic place on the some tropic island. It's gorgeous! Maybe the perfums from years ago was fantastic, couse it had so many notes/also envy gucci,ck one/it was wonderfull perfums,so juice:-)

Yup still hate this one. Like I said before (Its apparently hidden now thanks to some big babies thumbing it down?) If it smelled more like the male version I'd dig it.

Very nice, very youthful, slightly sensual, more whimsical and very similar to the Tommy Girl although in a more dense and floral. It has a very nice and sweet aroma for men.

One day I was feeling great, until I sniffed something suspicious in the air. What might it be?...
-gas leakage? cheked- it isn't from there
-somebody forgot to take the garbage out and there are some fruits rotting in there- cheked,it isn't this
-dirty booze glasses and weird cocktails invented by a twisted mind?- no, all clean

And than I face the source, a coleague. "-oh, it was just you..." ...

...kept my breath a bit than moved away from her.

That's my first experience with "acqua di gio"...

very fresh and flowery.perfect on a hot summers day, also a classic.

I love it... for summery weather... but recently I find it too sweet... maybe more suitable for "wet" times like after a shower, by the beach, after swimming, etc.

This is one of my favourite perfumes ever! it is such a clean scent, which is perfect for when you just step out of the shower and it has great staying power - i can smell it for hours! i see why people are saying it reminds them of shower gel and shampoo - but it is still an amazing fragrance.

It's definitely the synthetic melon note in ACQUA DI GIO which explains why wearing EAU D'ISSEY reminded me of this attractive 50ml bottle of green liquid hidden in the back of my armoir, half full, and likely to stay that way.

ACQUA DI GIO, another sweet pseudo-aquatic in the spirit and tradition of CK ESCAPE, somehow rubs me wrong from start to finish. It's definitely not emetic at the outset--I do not filled compelled to run and scrub it off. On the other hand, I also cannot say that I particularly enjoy it either, which explains why I all but forgot about its very existence.

Unfortunately, ACQUA DI GIO does not evolve into something better in the drydown. Instead, the melon opening morphs slowly into something like a molton plastic smell, which reminds me of the time I left a spatula on a hot burner. Désolée!

An extremely nice blend of aquatic, fruity and floral notes with a very successful balance between fresh and sweet.

This perfume is the most perfect aquatic scent, though it's not described as an aquatic. I guess it may be the melon note (mentioned on the Armani website - but not on this site) that adds watery freshness to the beautiful floral heart of this fragrance. While most aquatic scents are fresh in a sporty way, I find this one feminine and somehow elegant instead.

I do agree with Missk that there is something shampoo-like about it. With the aquatic notes it gives you the impression of something fresh and clean but not in a soapy way.
The sillage is great too.

I don't know why I almost forgot all about it for so many years. I absolutely love it.
It's perfect!

In 3 words: AQUATIC - DEEP - FRESH

Very sexy, fresh and clean, especially when applied after bath. Have different smell in early spring (smell of lilies) anf hot summer day (very aquatic)!

Acqua di Gio is a very intriguing scent and I can't believe I haven't tried this before now.

It's a little bit aquatic, extremely fresh and revitalising, unique and Summery.

Acqua di Gio isn't all fruits, in fact the heart of this fragrance is quite possibly one of the nicest floral blends you will ever discover.

The opening has just the right amount of sillage. The peony, pineapple, musky vodka, lemon and peach are light and shampoo-like. My favourite aspect of Acqua di Gio is the heart of course, which is a beautiful blend of white florals and banana leaf.

This fragrance reminds me of an Avon shampoo that I owned as a child. I used to wash my Barbie doll's hair with it, so this fragrance takes me back to my girlhood. I'll agree with the other reviewers that described Acqua di Gio as being a 'straight out of the shower' kind of scent. It is indeed very clean and fresh.

There isn't many scents to compare to Acqua di Gio. It's one of a kind. I highly recommend.

Going on summer holidays? Make a room in your suitcase for Aqua di Gio, the classic sea – sand - sunset smell.

Aqua opens with fruits, pineapple and peach in vodka juice. It reminded me on lounge bars under open sky with ice cold cocktails.... it is uplifting and colorful, and kind of strong at the beginning. The blast of acid fruits and alcohol drowned in flower based middle notes. Till the end Aqua di Gio is pure floral with woodsy notes.

The most appropriate situation to wear Aqua is beach right after drying the sea water from skin. Never lived that but I believe it is amazing feeling!

It has a very nice fresh and clean scent, perfect for hot summer days. Unfortunately, it doesn't last very much on my skin.

This scent gives me a sense of elevation. It was the first serious perfume I bought, and I overdid the application in those days. But now I've come back to it, and am rediscovering its allure. It is floral, but with an aqua element. It makes me feel like I'm hanging in a high place, which is comfortable - above the ground, but not high up in the sky - and it gives me dreams of heaven.

I've use this scent for years now and I still love it! I know nothing of notes and after looking at the notes in it...I still don't get it. All I know is that it does remind me of water and I feel wonderful wearing it. It's my summer perfume that I wear just for me, not because anyone else likes it. It's my number one!

This fragrance is one of my favorities, for sure! I love it and it makes me fell refreshed all day long. Acqua di Gio is fresh, clean, fruity and fun, making me remember of happy summer nigths. It can be boring or only a synthentic perfume for some people, but, for me, it changes my mood and makes me feel happier and relaxed. In my opinion, It is summer in a perfume bottle!!

Bought it and fell in love with it all over again. Yes, it's sweet. No doubt. But, I love that sweet scent -- like flowers floating on the water. And the aqua, I love that watery waft that hangs in the air. It never has a powdery smell. It's fresh, sweet and feminine. One of my all-time favorites. But, you have to like sweet. If you don't like sweet fragrances, you won't like Aqua Di Gio.

One of my favorites. Soft, sweet and serene. I had forgotten all about it, and I woke in the night with the name in my head. Hmmmm, could it be a sign? It worked. I have to get some now. The fragrance is now haunting me.

Fresh and clean scent, suitable for summer and hot days. But couldn't detect any fruits at all !!!!

Classy, I instantly fell in love with it because it's a really good light-airy-floral-fruity scent with good staying power (lasts on my skin for about 12 hours)

This could be a pleasant smell were it just the slightest bit less synthetic!
Actually, no...

After the top notes fade, I smell straight up plastic! Is it the nature of aquatic scents, this particular composition, or just the tendency of all Armani perfumes to lean towards the sharp side of synthetic? Somebody let me know, cause my nose hurts right now!

It's perfect for the summer. I simply adore it. So fresh and pleasant. One of my favourites.

It is very floral,clean,relaxing,Fresh and light, a very good summer fragrance.
I very like this one.

Great fragrance, fresh and sweet, and a little romantic too. This was one was one of my favorite perfumes as a teen. Good memories :)

it's fresh, clean, aquatic and i can easily detect the green tea in it. it's not overpowering, it's just perfect for those torrid summer days.

A great starter fragrance....I used to love wearing this & XS pour elle in the summer when I was studying. I bought it at the airport before a holiday in the sun, so it will always be linked to warm, hazy sun & sea days for me.

Although it is fresh & clean I now find it a little too sweet. It also feels slightly dated &, unlike iconic CKone, I'm not likely to revisit it again.

J'adore this scent! ^^. It's very fresh,summery and cool actually I am considering to buy this one allthough I am generaly not too keen on acquatic scents this one is awsome.

I have bought this scent several times,although I usually get tired of a fragrance before it's over.It's so fresh and wearable...suitable for all occasions.

I started wearing this my junior year of highschool (11 years ago) and I still keep this perfume as my stand by. It's a perfect summer scent and lasts all day, love it.

I think it is ok, just a little too sweet.

When I was in class, about than 10 years ago, I worn it. My friends yelled out "what a stuffy smell!! So I would never wear it again. - -'

Hum...it´s a litle masculine for sure. So fresh, so energetic. Is one of those fragrances that help us to be rational and problem free.

I can only add that Acqua di Gio is a good idea for a present for a person that starts to learn the language of pefumes. It is also suitable for office.

It's pure lillies and hyacinth on me! Sweet and breezey at the same time. It's smell does not turn sour with heat, which makes it a good summer fragrance.

it smells like green tea on my skin but lots of people compliment on it

Sweet floral but not too sweet.
Feminin but not too girly.
Long lasting and fresh.
I think ,It's classic.

Wonderful fresh an floral. Everyday in summer.

Acqua di Gio is my all time favourite. I've worn it since 1998, always keeping one bottle on the shelf to grab when ever the ADG-fever overtakes me. I especially love how fresh the scent is, reminding me of a dewy garden after rain. I almost always spray it on after a nice long shower, it just perfects the incredible feeling of "clean" for me.

Now, unfortunately, Acqua di Gio is no longer available in my country. And to make matters even worse, I've only got the perfume fumes left in my last bottle. With the low rates of my nation's currency these last weeks, I've begun to see that bying a bottle online will cost a considerable amount. What can a gal charge for a kidney these days? I only need one kidney but I need my ADG!

I discovered this perfume when on holiday in Malta. The blue sea, the sunny sky, the green water - the bottle smelled just like the air by the Mediterranean Sea. I was a teenager wondering whether her last summer money should be spent on a dress or her first adult perfume. ¨Get the perfume, you will enjoy it longer¨ said my friend. I followed her advice. The dress would certainly be out of fashion by today. The perfume is not. The bottle is empty now and I prefer floral scents today (personally, I always categorize this one as Aquatic) but I sometimes smell the cork and the memory of the blue sea, the sunny sky and green water comes immediately back.

Everytime i smell it i juz feel so relax and it makes me want to smell it again and again.. It such a really nice perfume..

por ser tan fresca la fragancia, se puede usar todo el día, aunque es excelente para la noche. Tanto el perfume para el hombre como para la mujer de Acqua di gio son hermosos. Me encantan. Excelente para hacer un regalo, uno nunca puede quedar mal con este presente porque es una fragancia que no es dificil de llevar y de gustar,

It's a nice, clean, fruity scent and it reminds me of a sunny, peaceful day

es un perfume ideal para un noche ideal de verano

This one is a classic summer fragrance. It's sparkling with lemon and fresh fruit. And although the notes indicate a sweet drydown. it dries to a freshand very clean scent. All and all, it's a lot of fun.

I wear it in summer, It´s perfect after swimming, when I´m sitting by the swimming pool, very refreshing
