Advantages: Smells Great
Disadvantages: Can be expensive

...Hi. I'm going to share with you my experiences with Armani's ACQUA DI GIO today. This fragrance came out way back in 1996 following the successes of Armani Mania (1981) and Armani Eau Pour Homme (1984). I have no hesitation in saying that Acqua Di Gio too is a success. Armani's Acqua Di Gio for Men is constantly being advertised everywhere, particularly in Debenhams and Men's magazines such as Men's Fitness and Men's Health. This was a big factor behind me buying this because Armani weren't going to spend millions advertising this fragrance if it was not good. Neither would Debenhams display posters of it everywhere either. I also bought my 50ml of Acqua Di Gio because of the positive reviews from word of mouth and from the Internet. I bought mine from Superdrug. Anyway... Armani's Acqua Di Gio for Men comes in a simple... Read review

Advantages: Scent, long lasting, unique
Disadvantages: price, difficulty to find

...The description of an essence is far more complex than the addition of formulas which jointly result in a perfume. Each component is especially chosen to represent a human characteristic, therefore making the perfume transcendent a single sense and, nearly define an entire personality. Fiori di Capri is the definition of class. The aroma is refined and utterly chic in a way that intimidates those who are not comfortable with luxury.

Capri is a delightful island in the Bay of Naples and has been traditionally the home-in-the-sun for rich and powerful. There is something... Read review

Advantages: An all day fragrance
Disadvantages: None

...This is undoubtedly one of my favourite fragrances. Acqua Di Gio is the older brother of Armani's new daytime fragrance Mania, and as such is a much more responsible mature fragrance, but no less fun! It is light, fresh and very different from the usual musky aftershaves for men. Plus it smells expensive! It is a light citrussy fragrance with rounded musky/woody undertones which make it good for nights out, but essentially this is a day time fragrance. This is for the young (and young at heart) professional - suitable for business meetings, as well as a night out on the town. It's a fun but formal fragrance and is slightly flamboyant compared to other mens aftershaves, but no less masculine - it's an alternative to the norm - which is always welcome! It is very distinctive and you do not need to wear a lot of it - it lasts... Read review
