About this deal

Whatever. However, this new fragrance is also far removed from its predecessors such as Essenza or Profuma in both class and olfactory terms. Olfactory because the new fragrances no longer have beautiful herbs, such as basil, sage or rosemary, which gave the fragrances a great note and which came across particularly well with summer fragrances. Now the new fragrances are just more or less cheap looking, almost meaningless main streamers, which you already had a thousand times under your nose, where actually all Armanis are main streamers (except for the Privé fragrances), but that doesn't have to be bad in itself. Well, whatever. We have at least one huge rosemary bush standing in the garden here, so if I want to use this scent, I'll go rubbing myself against the bush (and the neighbours will surely think of me as a strange pervert who stands on trees and such (technical term: dendrophilie and no, don't ask me how I know the expression! D), but hey, at least this would be such an opportunity again to shout "This is not what it looks like"! :DD). However, I’d would rather wear almost any other of the Acqua di Gio line (outside of Profondo Lights). Profumo, EDT, and Profondo are all better. As such, I don’t have a need to grab a full bottle. Absolu really has that ambery sort of smell throughout, I know the labdanum is playing a big part of that, but I wonder if one of the wood notes is amber wood? I haven’t seen it listed, but I do think so. It is a harsher aroma versus the more naturalistic amber notes out there. It is also versatile in terms of when it can be worn. It can go casual or for something to wear at the office or out for an evening on the town.

Armani was once a bold and visionary house, particularly on the men’s side; and then, suddenly, it wasn’t. Launches such as 1996’s Acqua di Giò and 2004’s Code anchored the direction of scent development for up to a decade after their release. 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.A few minutes in, Absolu begins to take on a resinous smell, thanks to the labdanum. There is also a hint of patchouli which brings in some earthy spice into the mix. The patchouli isn’t super heavy or anything, but it does play its part within the composition beautifully. Esenta Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Absolu Instinct este evidentiata de un buchet de parfumuri aromatice, citrice si tonuri parfumate verzi, care vor aduce o senzatie naturala, luminoasa si usoara editiei din 2019. Bazat pe combinatia de note, parfumul este clasificat ca unul lemnos – acvatic. Emanatia aromelor si a notelor pentru acest flanker se desfasoara intr-un vartej de citrice si note de deschidere marine, inclusiv citrice, lamaie si apa de mare. Notele de centru si acordurile lemnoase din inima se imbina cu alge si patchouli, in timp ce notele din baza lemnoasa lasa o impresie de arbore de abanos si chihlimbar. 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. It also has an earthy tone from the patchouli with the presence of wood. The patchouli is not too dominating but it makes the fragrance more alluring.

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! While this smells nice, it's still too expensive, and doesn't last long. It projects ok for an hour, and then stays pretty close, but I wouldn't call it a skin scent until hour 4, by which point, I don't smell it at all. It's one of those "here and gone" performers, because one minute, I smell it in the air, the next, I smell nothing. To clarify.. not that it's legitimately here and gone, time wise, but here and gone performance wise. Noul flanker miroase mai mult a Acqua Di Gio, insa se aseamana in mare parte cu Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Profumo indeosebi prin notele lemnoase in loc de tamaie, pastrand in acelasi timp deschiderea proaspata a semnaturii Acqua Di Gio, care poate fi gasita in Original, Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio Essenza si Profumo. Now the question remains: Did Armani do himself a favor by adding Absolu Instinct to his Acqua di Gio series? With its predecessor Absolu, the company has already thrown a product expansion onto the market, which is intended to attract a broader range of customers with its sweet-woody character. Absolu Instinct continues this but for my taste more mature and elegant. And yet I don't really know if the word "Acqua" really fits. Both Absolus are not aquatic-fresh enough for me. I don't have the maritime classic AdG DNA. She flashes at most briefly at the opening. I really hope for Armani that they will not overdo it with (potential) future product extensions of their Acqua di Gio range, otherwise I fear the AdG range will be exhausted very soon.

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. 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. One thing that is very noticeable in this fragrance is the salty ambergris. It enhances the sea notes by giving the taste it needs. It smells more modern than the other Acqua di Giò colognes overall as it is much younger than the others.

Sillage: stronger and clearer than the original, just adapted to current standards - but now also no total screamer! Durability: lasts long, the last third / the base is only very discreet - 7 hours. The bottle is really nicely made, beside the Profumo bottle for me the most elegant, above all the golden writing on dark brown glass. Nevertheless, the fragrance has a lot to offer, at least for fans of fancy synthetics: a distinctive blend of sweetish citric, soft aquatic, aromatic spice and a little wood in a fairly linear flow. Yes, it has something ... but not for me ;-) Nevertheless, there's no denying that the fragrance smells quite good after about 2.5 hours, and after another one I'd even give it a 7.5 because it becomes milder, softer and more harmonious. But while it already starts to recede from half arm length to very close, this Armani says goodbye after 5 hours at the latest even on my most durable shirt into projection-off (that's why the currently relatively high H+S values of the community of up to 7.5 are a mystery to me). 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.

The performance is still acceptable for a designer fragrance. It is just "only an eau de toilette" I personally would have expected something more, because the fragrance creation with the durability is not in proportion. Take Wanted's freaky ginger-lemon and Wanted by Night's spacy cinnamon-tangerine, add an aquatic wood note to the two Azzaro synthetics and spice it up a bit. And the Wanted arbour 2.0 is already knitted (even with wave bath;) The perfume had a shelf life of just under 8 hours at room temperature and 5.5 hours in the heat outside. Sillage, unfortunately, a little reserved, could be stronger. Upon the opening smell, Absolu immediately smells familiar to me, and has quite a bit of overlap with Invictus Aqua. Namely, the share the woody notes, marine aspects, and grapefruit.
