In the dry down, the cologne gets a bit darker with less citrusy and sea notes as the woodsy aroma comes on. Acqua di Giò Absolu Instinct was released in 2019 right after a year of Acqua di Giò Absolu. As the name says, these two fragrances have a lot in common. The proximity to the Invictus family cannot be denied, but it does not adhere to this unpleasant synthetics and forms its own class. It is a summer and spring fragrance. You can wear it on casual occasions. It is a good cologne to wear in your classes.

It lasts for 8 to 9 hours which is great. And, the projection is also remarkable. It performs heavily for the first 2 hours then becomes a skin scent. The most beneficial matter of Acqua di Gio Absolu is its versatility. You can wear it in any season. So, if you are looking for a signature cologne, this is it. It is flexible enough to wear everywhere. You can wear it casually on a lunch date, in your office, or at an event. I have longed for Armanis Acqua di Gio Absolu Instinct for a long time after I had seen numerous videos of American perfume you tubers. The first impressions and tests at that time were positive through the bank away and so my expectations of this release were accordingly high. Dark wood notes paired with the AdG DNA were then said in the videos so more or less - that sounds like a perfume for the evening. Finally, I also see it as an evening scent for cooler days. I am not surprised by the better rating compared to the predecessor Absolu. Nevertheless, I consider the predecessor to be too badly rated. But the tastes are very subjective, especially for perfumes! In deschiderea parfumului exista ADN-ul flankerului Acqua di Gio Pour Homme (1996), cu dihidromircenol si bergamot inmuiate cu un aspect marin sarat. Timpul total de tranzitie intre toate aceste note olfactive este mai mic de 5 minute, oferind un miros liniar si usor cliseic. Padurea sintetica ataca cu o furie pe care nemaivazuta in niciun parfum pentru el de la Giorgio Armani. Este similar cu Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle „Monsieur” (2016). Ca multe dintre cele mai indraznete parfumuri Tom Ford, mirosul acestui flanker prezinta o tenta abraziva si dura. Lemnul ambrat netezeste suficient celelalte note, oferindu-i un caracter casual si lejer.

What Does Acqua di Giò Absolu Instinct Smell Like

The fresh and aquatic opening of Acqua di Gio Absolu will make you fall in love with it with the first sniff. The sea notes with apple and grapefruit take you on your beach vacation. It’s mostly at the beginning that they smell alike and this Armani fragrance is much better in my opinion. Aqua can have this stinky dry down of the sea notes, but the Armani doesn’t. Invictus Aqua (2018) is a flanker of Invictus but it has the most similarities with Acqua di Gio Absolu.

The seaweed effect is key. Another comparison is relevant: Creed. Absolu Instinct is far less seaweed than Amnesia by X-Ray or Oud Minérale by Tom Ford, and far more ambergris as in Hermes’ Eau des Merveilles. Although the animalic, furry and honey facets of ambergris are absent, as would be expected for a commercial release, the material’s flip side is evoked with flair, conjuring a cold mineral wind straight off the Atlantic. It is with this accord that clear parallels can be made to Silver Mountain Water, Erolfa and Millésime Imperial; not to say that they smell the same, but that a Creed-like signature is woven into the Acqua di Giò fabric to make the citrus and woods glisten with effervesce. As already mentioned, I personally think a lot of the fragrance creation. I am disappointed unfortunately the durability, which is why I would recommend the fragrance to "beginners" or people who are looking for an everyday fragrance, which is applicable to almost all areas.The scent was “inspired by the moment when the sea meets the most precious wood” and “embraces the sensual relationship between man and nature, mixing the power of water with the delicate texture of wood”, intended to represent a "modern, spontaneous and sensual" form of masculinity. The perfumer is Alberto Morillas. This cologne can make anyone calm and comfortable. You can pull it off effortlessly. It is the fragrance you grab when you do not know what to wear as it is easygoing.
