Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia EDP : Review

I never leave home without applying perfume. I always carry perfume with me in my handbag as well. I have been using the Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia EDP for quite a while. Read on to find my views on this perfume.

What the brand claims is that Acqua di Gioia is a hymn to nature in all its forms. It is a clean, incredibly fresh, aquatic scent that is ultra approachable, yet memorable.

• HEAD: Begin with a "mojito" inspired sensual blend of crushed mint leaves, warmed by brown sugar and mixed with the zest of Italian Limone.
• HEART : Feminine floral notes emerge with joyous hints of acquatic Jasmine, dew of Peony and subtle traces of pink pepper.
• BASE: Its signature Mediterranean trail is rooted by the hearts of cedarwood and Labdanum.

Price : $88

I first discovered this perfume when I was passing by the perfume section of a department store. The SA asked me if I would like to try it and I was like NO. I was using Gucci Guilty at the time and I thought I would never find another fragrance which I would like as much as the Gucci Guilty. But then it occurred to me how rude I had been to that SA by saying no straight away so I thought I should just try it once. I mean what did I have to loose. I knew I was not going to buy it. So I tried it.

I roamed around full day that day and when I came home that day, my mother and sister both asked what was the fragrance I was wearing. I then realized that it was this perfume. It lasted a full day. I liked how it was not overpowering and was so subtle. It was fresh, aquatic and quite feminine and mildly floral.

I went back the very next day and bought the 100 ml one. I started wearing this to work everyday. I got so many compliments on this perfume. My colleagues, both girls as well as guys asked what was it that I was wearing. I guess they wanted to either buy it for themselves or their partners. As for me, I absolutely love this perfume. This is now my signature scent. As you can see I am almost finishing this bottle so I went ahead and bought another 100 ml bottle. 

If I were to describe this in one word it would be CLEAN. I feel perfume is something very personal to each individual. What works for one person might not necessarily work for another person. But I would definitely recommend you go and try out this fragrance and then decide for yourself if this is for you. This one gets a Thumbs Up from me.
