More about Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò
Acqua di Giò by Giorgio Armani is the original 1996 eau de toilette for men by Alberto Morillas, Annick Menardo and Christian Dussoulier, the aquatic classic that defined a generation of fresh fragrances. Lime, lemon, bergamot, mandarin orange and neroli open with a bright citrus splash, then sea notes, calone, rosemary and jasmine, with touches of peach and nutmeg, build its famous marine heart. White musk, cedar, oakmoss, patchouli and amber leave a clean, woody trail. Fresh, easy and timeless, Acqua di Giò is made for spring and summer days and the office.
