Men's fragrance Acqua di Gio was launched in 1996 and achieved great
success since then. Armani announced the release of the new version - Acqua di
Gio Essenza, concentrated as Eau de Parfum. The new scent is supposedly a
timeless and intense reinterpretation of the original. Described as intensely
carnal and sensual, Acqua di Gio Essenza is less focused on marine and more on
woody and ambery accords. The creator of the perfume is once again Alberto
Morillas. The composition begins with luminous tones of cascalone molecule,
which captures the olfactory experience of cold and fresh water, sparkling
citrusy bergamot and grapefruit. The heart bares floral and aromatic accords of
jasmine, basil and sage, as well as explosive floral paradisone molecule, while
the base combines notes of patchouli, cedar, vetiver, ambrox, ambergris, pepper
and clary sage. The fragrance is available as 40, 75 and 170 ml Eau de Parfum.
Acqua di Gio Essenza was launched in 2012.
