Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio Eau de Toilette Spray for Men

The Mediterranean has long been a source of creative and spiritual inspiration, drawing artists, poets and visionaries alike with its mesmerizing landscapes, ancient history and deep blue waters which connect Europe to Africa. Giorgio Armani found so much beauty there that in 1996 he created Acqua Di Gio for Men to capture its spirit and allure.

Acqua di Gio was conceptualized by three acclaimed perfumery masterminds - Alberto Morillas, Annick Menardo and Christian Dussoulier - to paint an alluring aromatic scene. Imagine standing on an Italian island as you inhale sea air carrying with it the scents from citrus orchards and blooming flowers, mixing with natural sea scents mingling together into an aroma rich in lime, lemon and bergamot with floral undertones of jasmine, orange blossoms and neroli for an opening that is truly captivating.

But like the unpredictable Mediterranean sea, this fragrance plunges deeper, pulling you deeper into its depths. Once there, you discover a harmonious blend of ocean's vastness with aromatic and floral notes: crisp sea notes, subtle sweetness of peach, rosemary's invigorating touch, bouquet of jasmine, freesia, cyclamen and violet dance together beautifully in an irresistibly soothing melody; while coriander, nutmeg, and mignonette spices add unexpected layers for dynamic character and captivating experience.

As day gives way to night on this Mediterranean voyage, the fragrance settles into an earthy yet warm base that exudes both woody tones from cedar mixed with patchouli depth and white musk elegance for a timeless and sophisticated scent. A hint of amber adds golden warmth like that seen at sunset over the sea.

Pantellerie Island lies between Sicily and Tunisia and often gets battered by winds while also possessing the serenity of the Mediterranean. Armani found inspiration for his design in Pantellerie; an island which often bears witness to stormy winds yet retains an idyllic aura due to the sea breezes. Acqua di Gio embodies this contrast - the rush of waves against still shores; bright skies above and mysterious deep water depths.

Armani has achieved something truly magnificent with Acqua Di Gio: not only has he captured its scent, he has captured its spirit - its history, passion and serenity - making it a classic fragrance for men of all nations to smell around the globe; Acqua Di Gio has become an icon that speaks of adventures, dreams and freedom!
