Acqua di Gio

Acqua di Gio is an aromatic aquatic fragrance for men, made for Giorgio Armani by Alberto Morillas, Annick Menardo and Christian Dussoulier in 1996. Citrus and sea air lead it: lemon, bergamot and mandarin over calone and marine notes, with rosemary and coriander for a dry herbal edge, and cedar, patchouli and oakmoss underneath. Armani took the idea from Pantelleria, where he spent his holidays. It lasts a moderate while and projects moderately, sitting close to the skin once the opening burns off. Made for hot weather and daytime.
