As someone who has worn the original Acqua di Giò, I think this version adds a darker, more modern edge. It’s still fresh, but there’s a noticeable depth that makes it stand out. It performs well throughout the day, although I wish it projected a bit more. Still, a very versatile fragrance for work or casual outings.

This fragrance is absolutely stunning. It opens with a clean marine freshness and slowly develops into something deeper and more masculine. I’ve received multiple compliments wearing it, especially in the evenings. The longevity is solid and it feels very refined without being overpowering. Definitely one of my favorite scents right now.
