It's a good aquatic fragrance with the water-citrus opening, floral notes at its heart and a woody background with a little pepper. It is less fresh and more floral than the EDT. The EDT is clearly a summer fragrance. This one is more all-seasons and office friendly.

Seems to me like an EDP thick AdG. I own the original, Profumo, and bought 10 ml of this. Something here, sometimes gives me a sort of egg smell, or rotting garbage can scent. It is not all the time, just every now and again. It is stomach turning when I smell it though.

Perfume smells awesome.I loved it.

Husband's request. He likes Acqua di Gio. Except this is not Acqua di Gio. It's Acqua di Gio Essenza - he liked it, but not as much as the other.

I love this eau de parfume! Lasting long time! Good quality product! 100% need to buy!

Bought for my son and he loved it!

Draws Compliments

Too Expensive

I'm a big fan of the Armani fragrances; I find them to be full of refreshing, deep, enduring aromas - and this is no exception. Armani Code is the mainstay of my fragrance collection, and the one I keep coming back to time and again, but this is a twist on that winner that I really like.

Delayed shipment but genuine one.

Distinctive smell that lasts all day. Received many compliments from my colleagues at work!!! Very proud to wear it. Recommend to all my friends. This is going to be my regular cologne. Excellent choice.

Richer, Fuller and Fresher Lasting than the Original ADG, ESSENZA is a beautifully constructed fresh/aquatic scent that draws compliments every time I wear it. Its got a clean, soapy, fresh-out-of-the-shower vibe thats always a crowd pleaser.
