Acqua di Giò - Elixir

Excellent, long-lasting cologne

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Excellent cologne that lasts very long given its higher concentration as an elixir. I particularly liked the subtle marine and leather notes. The actual bottle is very nice as well. It feels very substantial which is nice and the cap fits very flush - this is hard to describe but it just feels nice when you put the cap back on the bottle. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing scent recommend 10/10

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Acqua di Giò Elixir is amazing!. It opens with a burst of fresh citrus and aromatic herbs, then into warm notes of amber, patchouli, and a touch of incense. The scent is rich, masculine, and sophisticated for me What truly stands out is how long it last. Just one or two sprays last over 6 hours, making it a great value. Elixir strikes a perfect balance between freshness and depth, capturing the spirit of the sea with a smoky, elegant twist. It’s a modern, confident scent that leaves a lasting impression. Highly recommended for fans of the original looking for something deeper.

An incredibly versatile, long-lasting, and elegant

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I’ve been a long-time fan of the Acqua Di Giò line, but Elixir takes things to a whole new level. From the moment I first sprayed it, I knew this one was special. The scent opens with a rich, sophisticated blend that feels bold yet refined—it immediately catches attention without being too aggressive. What I love most is the versatility; I’ve worn it to work, on casual weekends, and even to a formal dinner, and it somehow fits every setting effortlessly. The scent strength is incredible—it’s potent in the best way. Just a couple of sprays go a long way, and it doesn’t fade into nothingness like many other high-end fragrances. After applying in the morning, I could still catch subtle whiffs of it on my clothes and skin well into the evening. Speaking of that, the projection is exactly what I want in a signature scent—strong enough for people around me to notice and compliment, but not so strong that it overwhelms a room. As for value for money, yes, it’s a premium fragrance and comes with a higher price tag, but honestly, it delivers. One bottle lasts me a long time because I don’t need to reapply, and the compliments I get make it feel like a worthy investment in how I present myself. And I have to mention the packaging—the matte black bottle with its minimalist design looks sleek and elegant on my dresser. It feels solid and luxurious in the hand, which adds to the whole experience of using it. Overall, I’d say Acqua Di Giò Elixir has earned a permanent place in my rotation.

Great long lasting smell

This is a great smelling product. I use it everyday now. I’m outside all day long and the smell stayed the whole day. It’s not too over powering but still able to give off a good smell and not a musty smell

Best of the line!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The fragrance is amazing. This fragrance has a delightful, aquatic scent that lingers for a long time. It’s a versatile choice for any occasion, whether you’re going out or to work. The fresh aroma is invigorating and uplifting, making it a great pick for any time of day. I thoroughly enjoy the smell and it has a positive impact on my mood. 

Love it

The item is well packed and love it's simple but elegant bottle design with a gental scent. I used it once and could last whole day at work. Gonna buy again.

Must have for every occasion

This is a great fresh scent that is not overpowering. Can be used for any occasion and projects a very fresh scent. Came very well packaged and is at a great price point for the size.

Must try

The scent is subtle yet long-lasting, making it perfect for everyday wear. While it may not be the most unique or groundbreaking perfume, it's reliable and consistently pleasant. If you're looking for a safe and versatile option, standard perfume is a solid choice

Bold reinvention of the classics

When I heard Armani was releasing a new Acqua di Giò Elixir, I was skeptical—how could they possibly reinvent the iconic 1996 fresh-aquatic masterpiece? But this 2025 reimagining isn’t just a flanker; it’s a bold, mysterious transformation that takes the original’s Mediterranean soul and drenches it in shadow. My First Impression: A spark before the storm.The opening is bright yet spicy—juicy bergamot and green mandarin dance with pungent nutmeg, giving a lively but sophisticated start. It’s familiar, yet darker, like a sunset over the same Mediterranean shore. The Heart: Then comes the violet leaf absolute—cool, slightly earthy, with an almost metallic edge. It’s nothing like the original’s floral heart; this is darker, moodier, evoking damp coastal foliage at dusk. The Base: Warm, Smoky, Addictive. The dry-down is where Elixir truly shines. Guatemalan patchouli brings a smoky depth, vetiver adds woody elegance, and labdanum wraps it all in a warm, resinous embrace. The leather accord is subtle—more like suede than a rugged jacket—adding a refined masculinity. This is a Parfum concentration,so longevity is impressive (8+ hours on skin, days on fabric). Sillage is strong but not overwhelming—it lingers like a whispered secret. Best for evenings, cooler weather, or when you want to command attention. The Bottle is also a work of art.The deep black bottle with silver lettering is stunning—sleek, modern, and luxurious. It feels like a collector’s item, a far cry from the original’s breezy blue. Final Verdict: Not a Replacement, But a Worthy Successor. If you loved Acqua di Giò for its fresh, aquatic vibe, this might surprise you—it’s richer, darker, and more complex. But that’s the point. Elixir doesn’t try to be the original; it reinterprets it with depth, mystery, and seduction.

Fantastic!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is the best ADG that they’ve ever made. It’s got the classic DNA that we all know and love but it’s updated and richer. Good stuff here. Lasts forever and is very mass appealing while still smelling luxurious.

Must have classic

After using this product for a month I’m able to say that it’s a great long lasting scent. Very masculine and has great projection. Lasts me 10 hours + a day easily
