If you’ve smelled one, you’ve smelled them all. No
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So this flanker of ADG is nothing but more of the same. Packaging was standard. Performance was awful. Sillage only lasted about an hour or two.
I wore this to school (I’m a teacher) and the kids (high school) know about my fragrance obsession. They asked me what I was wearing and I told them. They said it was too “chemical smelling” and “horrendous”.
I didn’t care for it the moment I applied it, but I figured I would give it a chance. It turned into a faint skin scent within about three hours, thankfully. I didn’t really recognize what was supposed to be the notes in this. This is definitely a no go for me.

High quality designer scent.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If designers are your style, this is your style. The scent is straight from the high end luxury malls and is immediately recognizable once you smell it. Atomizer sprays consistently and broad. Highly recommend.

Smells like money, honey.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow this smells luxurious. One hit wonder. Great value, packaging appears expensive, and the value seems reasonable. Would recommend and can’t wait to continue to smell nice and clean.

A required cologne for every man.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been a long time, tried and true cologne every gentleman should have in their repertoire of scents. Always good in the office or on a date I will always splash some one when I’m ready to be a welcomed olfactory accent to any occasion.

Fresh clean and long lasting with a stronger twist
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The scent is fresh but has a deeper richer vibe than the original. It smells clean masculine and works for both day and night. It last long and projects well without being to strong. Solid everyday fragrance.

Exceptionally wearable year round. Fairly redundan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Acqua Di Giò’s pour Homme EDP Intense is an extremely wearable, mass-appealing, fresh while not being screechy scent perfect for daily wear and office use. This new offering continues the chypre, barbershop-esque DNA we’re all so familiar with in the ADG line, adding a green apple accord in place of the typical dominating citrus top note. It still retains several citruses in the opening; however, the apple note gives it a sweeter, fruitier introduction more akin to a body wash/gel fragrance. It’s exceptionally clean and inoffensive meaning you can wear it year round. My only confusion with this fragrance, despite how good it is, is why it even exists. An intense version of an eau de parfum seems completely redundant and unnecessary especially considering only two notes were changed. Regardless, it excels at what it’s trying to do and that is to be mass appealing and easily wearable.
