A deep, modern take on the iconic Acqua di Giò freshness, Profondo feels like diving below the surface into cooler, darker blue water. Marine notes surge with juicy green mandarin at the start, then an aromatic wave of rosemary and lavender adds clean strength, before a mineral and woody dry down of patchouli, cedar, musk, and amber wraps the skin with quietly powerful depth.

Story and Positioning
Profondo extends the Acqua di Giò line into deeper waters, trading bright citrus sparkle for a richer aromatic and mineral profile that still reads crisp and versatile. It fits the contemporary blue freshness space with more texture and shadow. It is presented as an intense marine interpretation of the classic Acqua di Giò, often cross-shopped with Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum, Versace Dylan Blue, and Dior Sauvage Eau de Parfum. Ideal as an office to evening signature in warm or humid climates, it brings polished masculinity without heaviness.
Bottle and Design
The bottle presents a luxe blue gradient that echoes ocean depth, with a smooth glass weight in hand and a deep blue cap embossed with the Giorgio Armani monogram. The updated design places the Giorgio Armani name at the base and can be refilled at home using the dedicated refill format, supporting a more responsible routine.
