What does Acqua di Giò Profumo Special Blend smell like?

The scent reads as one piece: bergamot and marine notes give a clean, salty freshness, while fir and Somalian frankincense add a resinous, slightly smoky edge. Guatemala patchouly, Cachalox and Ambrox bring a dry, woody depth with a hint of spice.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good. Season votes are spread evenly, with fall and spring slightly ahead of summer and winter. Most voters place it in business, daily and evening wear, and it reads masculine and classic. Acqua di Giò Profumo and Sea God have a close profile.
