Acqua Di Gio Essenza Cologne by Giorgio Armani, Acqua di Gio Essenza by Giorgio Armani is a timeless fragrance fit for the modern man. Offering moderate sillage and all-day wear, the notes of this cologne sing from morning to midnight, creating a subtle but impactful atmosphere of refined masculinity. Grapefruit and bergamot resonate in perfect melody at the head of the fragrance, combining with melon-like calone and aquatic notes to create a dewy, airy accord. Found in the heart notes, basil and sage create a savory counterpoint to the lightness of the top notes, melding with hints of exotic jasmine and other florals. Finally, the base of the cologne is a rich mix of warm and earthy elements such as vetiver, pepper, patchouli, cedar and ambergris.

Helping secure Giorgio Armani as a Hollywood name and household favorite, Acqua di Gio was originally released in 1996 to great acclaim. Essenza, said to be a contemporary take on the original, was placed on the market in 2012 to equal fervor and was created in collaboration with the olfactory artist responsible for the original’s success, Alberto Morillas. All products are original, authentic name brands. We do not sell knockoffs or imitations.

Hey, everyone, Justin here. And today, I'll be reviewing Acqua di Gio Essenza by Armani. Now this men's scent is a more intense reinterpretation of the extremely popular Acqua di Gio fragrance. And it's signed by a perfume icon Alberto Moreiras. In the top of the fragrance, the molecule cast alone provides notes of fresh cold water, bergamot, and grapefruit. Now the heart is a mix of aromatic and floral notes. And the base consists of musk, clary sage, ambergris, and cedar among others. Guys, that is all for now. I hope you enjoyed this review. And please forget to follow FragranceX on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat. And, of course, subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Even better than the original ADG! Perfect scent for summer

Richer, Fuller and Fresher Lasting than the Original ADG, ESSENZA is a beautifully constructed fresh/aquatic scent that draws compliments every time I wear it. Its got a clean, soapy, fresh-out-of-the-shower vibe thats always a crowd pleaser. As it dries down, the subtle spice in the cologne makes it really shine!! I can wear this to the office as well as on a night out. Longevity and Sillage are also great, as its an Eau De Parfum. This is my signature scent and by far, my favourite scent for the summer and spring months. If you loved the original like myseld, make sure you get the Essenza bottle!! In my opinion, its even better than their latest 'Profumo' release

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Superb

This is a tuned-up version of the original acqua di gio pour homme with an addition of cardamom note and more concentrated on spices over the marine notes .... some people may like this over the original and vice-versa.... but worth giving a try ... long-lasting 9+hrs Projection is heavy and stronger than the original All year around fragrance

An essential in my collection!

I received Acqua Di Gio original as a gift when I was a teenager, and I was in love with it back then. After about 15 years, I wanted to own the legendary masterpiece again, but I was a bit reluctant because ADG is one of those very common fragrances. Then I came across Essenza, and I knew that this has to be part of my collection. Finally, got hold of a bottle through FragranceX and I was not let down by Essenza. It does live up to the legend of the original in my point of view. I use it as a casual and sometimes office wear fragrance, and it is highly versatile in my eyes. Sillage is very good, and so is the longevity. I live in a tropical country and it works very well in hot humid climate. I would highly recommend this!

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Why say no when it feels so good to say yes!

I only have to spray 2 squirts of the aqua di gio essenza edition and it lasts me all day long. I also have decided because of this, to purchase the deodorant stick as well. The only thing is is that I want to purchase the gift box set and its not available and have been on the wishlist forever.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Long lasting fagrant scent

I enjoyed the cologne; it was great to see a more long lasting version appear. The only down side is that there is no after shave balm. I use a moisturizing cream as a balm prior to the parfume.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Armani Perfection

Armani took this very classy men's cologne to another level of sophistication. Although a flanker to the original Acqua Di Gio, Essenza reminds you of the original, but with more of a soft woody heart that sets it apart from the original. Sure to be a crowd pleaser to both men and women. More of a Spring, Summer, early Fall scent that remains within your own personal space. Essenza would be a compliment to those special occasions rather than just your every day, run of the mill offering. As a Chauffeur, you can be sure that I will be sporting it often during my Wedding and night out events during the Spring and Summer months. . . Hats off to Armani !

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
