Acqua di Gio Essenza is a woody, fresh fragrance from the Italian house Giorgio Armani, composed by Alberto Morillas and released in 2012. Wood leads, with fresh, floral, herbal, amber and citrus sides in balance.
Bergamot and grapefruit open with a bright citrus, while water notes and calone give a cool, salty, marine freshness. In the heart, sage and basil add a green, aromatic quality, softened by jasmine. The base is deeper than many aquatics: ambergris brings a salty warmth, vetiver and cedar a dry, earthy wood, and patchouli a darker edge, with pepper adding bite.
Most wearers find it long lasting, and sillage is reported as moderate to strong. It is voted for summer and spring and mostly for daytime. This masculine scent suits the office, holidays and warm-weather outings, and anyone who wants a classic marine freshness with a fuller, woodier drydown.
