Giorgio Armani: Aqua di Giò Femme, Eau de Toilette

I was given this eau de toilette as a present, but I know that it is readily available in UK for around 50 Pounds for a bottle. Armani is the famous Italian stylist and this product has been around for more than 10 years. The bottle is a nice pale green and the cap is colour gold. It is easy to open and to spray too. It is described as a casual eau de toilette, in other words, not the one you are supposed to wear every day. Few drops of it last me most of the day and I prefer it in summer and European spring. It is not my favourite fragrance, but I like it. I will probably not buy it again though, once it is finished. It has a ...  Read the complete review

The first thing that actually attracted me to this perfume was the beautiful smell. A friend of mine wore it and I loved it so much on her that I decided to get a bottle too. I've had it for quite a few years now and it's not my everyday perfume and, and I'll go into reasons later, I don't think it's an everyday perfume but once in a while it really is beautiful. The smell itself is described as a floral, water fragrance. It comes from the designer Giorgio Armani. It was created in 1995 and I think I have probably had it since then, although not the same bottle!! The bottle is glass which has a light green, almost sea green tint to it. It's a ...  Read the complete review

A bit of a blast from the past, but Acqua De Gio is a favourite golden oldie perfume that I still really like. Acqua would suggest its very light, but actually I find it is quite a strong fragrance, but fresh and summery. It is a captivating blend of melon and pears with a hint of hyacinth, jasmine, rose and lily, so it's a really fragrance. It's the kind of fragrance you want to wear on a warm sunny day, with a skirt and a vest top- it's quite a feminine perfume and it makes you feel all girly ! It is a lighter version of the original Gio, though I haven't seen Gio on the shelves for ages - now that was really, really strong ...  Read the complete review

Giorgio Armani - Acqua Di Gio (Mens) is a wonderful scent and gives off a strong masculine scent that reminds me of the summer. It has that nice feel about it. I like to wear it in the summer months when the sun is out, as it seems to belong in this time of year but it can be used anytime anywhere. I first came across this fragrance when one of my mates was wearing it at football. I knew of it before and I heard that it was impressive stuff, but when I smelt it I immediately thought I had to have it. The first thing you come across is the bottle. With a slim-line rectangle shape bottle that is smoothly curved at the sides, Acqua Di Gio gets top marks ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit that things like perfumes last me a long time. I have a terrible habit of forgetting to put them on so I can certainly get my moneys worth from a bottle of perfume! This is why I was a bit upset when I eventually finished my bottle of Aqua di Gio by Giorgio Armani. It had been with me for *cough, splutter* four years *cough, splutter*. You get emotionally attached to these things you know! So why had I worn this perfume for all this time? Well it all started when I got a free sample in a magazine probably Cosmo or Marie Claire. It was one of the few perfumes that I liked straight away. It had a wonderful light scent that wasn't ...  Read the complete review
