SOTD: Acqua di Giò Profondo by Giorgio Armani 10/10/2025
A salty sea breeze in a bottle. Had a decant of one of the flankers before & this one but it got used up quickly, with the warm weather fading, its pointless picking up a bottle now, but it will be added to he collection before next summer. This I believe is the newer version from 2024, said to be a refined and modern take on the classic aquatic scent. A strong contender for a warm-weather signature scent. It opens with an invigorating blend of green mandarin & bergamot, which is joined by that marine note. There's also that subtle hint of saltiness that adds to the oceanic vibe. As with all fragrances ive encountered, the initial citrus fades, & the heart introduces an aromatic freshness with rosemary, lavender & cypress. This gives it a mildly herbal vibe & builds on the greeness established in the top by the mandarin. The dry down is where Profondo truly distinguishes itself. It features a prominent mineral accord that gives it a unique salty, almost stony texture, along with the classic masculine combination of musk & patchouli. A touch of amber provides warmth and a subtle sweetness. Ive worn this in the heat & this is its true home. You can typically expect 6-8 hours of wear on skin. It's a solid performer for a fresh scent. Projection will give you a plesant scent bubble for roughly 3hrs. From what Ive experienced with ADG so far, this will be the one that lands a full bottle on my shelf My Rating 7.5 Scent 2.5 Longevity 2 Sillage 2 Y/N 1

Love at first sniff!
Prada paradigme eau de parfum. Full bottle worthy! ( I must get this for sure). I love it, I love it, I love it! Very clean and smooth. Very versatile in my opinion. Woody, elegant, refined, masculine, and modern.
Love at first sniff!

Looking for a warm spicy scent. What’s your favorite?
Hey brothers, I’m looking for a rich, warm spicy scent to add to my cooler weather collection. Fragrantica lets you search by specific notes but not main accords like “warm spicy”, so I could use some crowdsourcing help. Ideally a designer or accessible niche (not crazy expensive but not a cheapie/dupe, and not too challenging). I‘ve got tobacco and vanilla focused fragrances pretty well covered - l don’t mind some sweetness in the new one, but I’d love more depth and richness that doesn’t go in an overly sweet direction. I like amber, woods and spices, but leather, oud and boozy notes can be a challenge. Iris, Rose, Plum, Florals, Almond and Oud notes are a hard no. Any suggestions? What’s your favorite? In terms of cooler weather frags that have a Fragrantica “warm spicy” accord at or near the top, I have and love: - TF Noir Extreme, Oud Wood - ATH Tabac Extreme - Swiss Arabian Incense 01 - Lalique Ombré Noire - Boss Bottled Absolu - YSL La Nuit EDT Here are some near misses I’ve tried: - Sauvage Elixir: comes very close but I don’t love the licorice and maybe the nutmeg. Same for Gisada Ambassador Intense - Spicebomb Extreme: nice but I get something like a strong cumin which I don’t love. Don’t love the other flankers either - Bulgari MIB: nice but something about it (the leather, I think) doesn’t work for me. - Oud for Greatness: I really want to like this one but don’t think I can get past the earthiness - Blonde Amber: comes close, but it didn’t blow me away for the price - I have yet to find an Amouage warm spicy scent that I like… Boundless, Decision and Outland are no’s What’s your favorite? What should I try out?
