    ***Essenza was not included because I’ve never tried it, so don’t own it. This was specified in the video!****

      Brooklyn Fragrance Lover oh my man get your nose on essenza ..... IMO it’s better than Profumo and too many ppl sleep on it while over hyping Profumo which for me dried down to just incense and egg

      I was talked into Essenza when it first dropped instead of getting the orig. And I like the orig.better after smelling it later on.

    • @agoogleuser2594
      @agoogleuser2594 Před 6 lety

      Same here. I own Essenza because it's stronger than the original, but if there were an EDP version of the original, it would be hard to pass up. It's shockingly hard to find good options for spring/summer, and Essenza is the only thing I own that isn't a tonka/vanilla/musk bomb, so I wear it all the time.

    @iSpitboxer Před 6 lety +7

    I'm wearing Profumo right now and when she said "Wet Paper" I instantly paired the image with the smell and she's absolutely right! It's obviously deeper than that and it's in my top 5 but she just blew me away. Love your channel.

  • @Rainism969
    @Rainism969 Před 5 lety +16

    Absolu is absolutely the best aqua di gio.
    Don’t get the hype of Profumo anyway, for me it smells boring as hell.

    • @anthonyj810
      @anthonyj810 Před 4 lety +1

      Absolu my favorite. I think profumo is good but a bit too spicy, absolu is better because more people like those type of frags than the profumo type in my experience.

  • @dreww1818
    @dreww1818 Před 6 lety

  • @c.alexander7775
    @c.alexander7775 Před 6 lety +2

    Thank you so much for keeping it 100 Tiff !!!! I have never liked Acqua do Gio despite the “hype” it’s just not great but I think like any other community there are hype beasts they’ll give it a pass because it’s “classic” I think it does smell outdated. And Profumo smells ok in the air but it doesn’t really mix well with my skin ... good honest vid

    @EdwardvanBerkum Před 6 lety +8

    I can see what Tiff means, I bought profumo over the original. But years before I really liked the original. Though a classic the flankers are so solid! I also don't have Essenza but I need to try this next to the original again to see which one I like better.

    @hopelessly_g Před 5 lety +2

    I’m not into Absolu. I recently bought this one package at Macy’s for the original ADG cause that’s my personal favorite. It comes with the 6.7oz & two sample sprayers. One being Absolu & in my opinion, it has a smell that’s for older guys. Older as in like for the grandpas.
    I’m a 23 year old so I like the fresh, aquatic scent of the OG

  • @ralphfurley123
    @ralphfurley123 Před 5 lety

    Armani lately with SI came out with "too light" fragrances , armani has fine tastes but even prive' line is honestly too light fragrances should from my point of view be lasting and bold ....this doesn't mean I do not like armani on the contrary I use Armani gio , SI passion,Acqua di gio sky for my hair and clothing ....my favourites are the whole range of HERMES....
    Love your videos Sir....
    As you said fragrances are subjective and based on moods
    Thanks for sharing God bless

  • @NathanDuffy725
    @NathanDuffy725 Před 5 lety

    When I first smelled the Absolu, I did fell in love with for awhile but later I thought it was still good. So I still like it alot. I think the Profumo is gonna be great for awhile but I wouldn't be afraid to try the Absolu, cause so many people now especially in my town loves and has Acqua Giorgio Armani and the Profumo. I wanted something popular but not too popular in my town, I didn't want to smell like everyone else. I tell you what I can get compliments from the Absolu no doubt, just hasn't gotten the love like the other two did.

  • @alejandrohits5066
    @alejandrohits5066 Před 6 lety +4

    It's really tricky with the fragrance game. I can't tell you how many fragrances I've tried and immediately put in to the caca category only to end up liking it later on down the road. This was my experience with Profumo ( I didn't like it after testing it the first three times now I love it) as well as Royal Water ( I hated it I thought it way too feminine now I love it). Don't worry I will try absolute a few more times to see if my opinion changes.

    • @yazed410

    Is Perry Ellis 360 red better than all 3 of these? I've gone out wearing and drew allot of pleasant attention, it just smells great in the air.

    • @BrooklynFragranceLover
      @BrooklynFragranceLover  Před 6 lety

      Don’t know. Never tried it.

    • @bmoresgreatest05
      @bmoresgreatest05 Před 6 lety +1

      360 perry Ellis red is definitely better than the original ADG because it almost smells exactly the same but just a tad more spicy and way more longer lasting for a fraction of the cost. it's not better than Profumo. I haven't smell essenza or absolu. I love Profumo personally though.

  • @bravesirrobin1793
    @bravesirrobin1793 Před 5 lety +1

    I know I'm a little late to the party but I've smelled them all and own 2, OG and Absolu, and I gotta tell ya, i like the smell better and get more compliments with the Absolu

  • @michaelo2088
    @michaelo2088 Před 6 lety +1

    The more vintage Acqua di gio are way better, my family has had Acqua di gio since it first came out and it always has been my most favorite cologne and I got one recently and it doesn’t last as long and the lemon is to strong which is a bummer.

  • @hmartinez3052
    @hmartinez3052 Před 5 lety +1

  • @tiredoffools8929
    @tiredoffools8929 Před 6 lety +2

    Lots of hate on Acqua di Gio Absolu.... that means I need to try this.
    I'm glad I've been warned about not judging it based on the color of juice or bottle top because most people that see the bottle (including myself) would expect a more boozy or an Amber heavy Frag. If I bought a Whiskey or Rum and expecting it to taste the way it looks and instead got an experience akin to a Gin or a vodka I would be disappointed.

    @kctechie Před 6 lety

    I had a large bottle of Aqua Di Gio and I really think the last of the bottle had turned or something. The last few sprays in the bottle just didn't smell right. I'm still not sure if it was my imagination or not.

    • @bigoilproduction7256
      @bigoilproduction7256 Před 4 lety

      It happens over time. Especially if its eau de toilette instead of parfum. It has a lower concentration of fragrance and higher alcohol content, which is why it can denature quicker

    Great review Carlos. Have any of your fragances gone bad? I am worried because I have 75 and some of them are niche. I have them in their original box in a dark and cool place. I ask because you mention this about your original ADG. Thanks for replying.

    I'm a woman who wears men's cologne. I like to think I have a pretty good taste. I've always hated the original Acqua di Gio. I'll never understand why it's the best selling cologne. I do not like it at all. But then again I'm not into "fresh" scents. Haven't tried the other two but if it has patchouly and incense I'm most likely going to love it.

    Got my first complement from using the absolu, she said it was strong smelling, I did put in an extra squirt lol. I asked if she didn’t like it and she said no she liked it a lot but that it was strong she asked what it was so I told her. She said she’s smelt a similar scent to it before probably from the there ones, either way I know to just put 1 squirt instead of 3. It carries well and for a long time.

      Micheal Wilborn1 I’m Thirty-Four and prefer Aqua Di Gio Absolu over Profumo. Age doesn’t matter when it comes to fragrance. That’s just stupid.
      That’s like saying you don’t play with barbie dolls or have tea parties with your daughter because you’re a male-a manly male and men don’t play with girl dolls.
