A crystalline aquatic with Mediterranean brightness, Acqua di Giò Eau de Toilette opens in a splash of bergamot, neroli, and green tangerine before airy marine facets and jasmine lift the heart with rosemary and rock rose. The dry down rests on Indonesian patchouli with cedar and soft musks, touched by a gentle persimmon sweetness for a clean yet sensual trail.

Story and Positioning
Born from Giorgio Armani’s vision of Pantelleria and the sea bathed in Italian light, Acqua di Giò Eau de Toilette defined modern aquatic freshness while remaining effortlessly elegant. Its citrus and marine clarity moves with ease from office hours to warm evenings, and as the cornerstone of the Acqua di Giò line, it remains the benchmark that many fresh woods and aquatics strive to match.
Bottle and Design
A softly rounded rectangle of frosted glass gives a cool, tactile feel that mirrors sea spray on skin. Minimal lettering keeps the look refined while a brushed metal cap with the Armani monogram crowns the atomizer. The silhouette sits neatly in hand, sprays in a fine mist, and looks understated on any dresser.
