    I have to be honest. I'm a little confused as to what Armani is trying to accomplish here? It seems like they're essentially creating the same fragrance with slight tweaks with each release, and I'm curious how the public is going to receive it. I guess this is their answer to the Y line, or the Sauvage line.

    • @jdmb03

      Rebottled Profondo and Parfum to jive with their eco-friendly refillable bottles. Not much difference in the juice.

      @BrianK_70 Před 5 měsíci +11

      I prefer this approach to reformulation or cutting oil percentages without any way for consumers to know until they've spent their money. This way you always know what you're buying and hopefully the retailers will have to list them as separate items for sale.

    I love that Giorgio Armani keeps pumping out the endless Acqua di Gio flankers. I like the variety since ADG is my favorite fragrance line. I live in mostly hot climate here in northern California so, naturally, most of my collection is "blue", fresh, citrus, or aquatics. Looking forward to reviews of the rebottled EDT (2024) & EDP (2024), also the new Profondo Parfum.

    • @simpa256
      @simpa256 Před 2 měsíci +1

      I can make this review for you. EDT is more greener, its not as stale aquatic fruity that it was. Thus its more what EDT was in 1996. Parfum is heavy on pachuli and incense with little aquatic undertone, very much what Profumo was in 2016, just a tad bit weaker. EDP is in between, you can smell the pacbuli, some incense and more aquatic fruity accord.
      Profondo old vs new is more or less what Ash said while Profodo Parfum is the same Progondo minus the mineralic notes. It is thus less fresh, more sweet. Way less character and is borderline boring but I like it more as its Profondo without the mineral notes which didnt sit well with me.

    I cant wait to get this - i have been a fan of Profondo for some time but wished it was less herbaceous and mor fresh and sweet - so i turned to Azzaro Chrome Extreme that has these qualities. ACE has now been discontinued so it's music to my ears that Profondo now has these tweaks, can't wait. Also i love to see Ash's slightly emotional conclusion of the video, relieved that this beautiful fragrance has been enhanced ❤

    I bought profundo because of your review, and love it! I dont if its just me but it kinda reminds me of bvlgari aqua amara , 2024 doesnt have that beachy salty scent im going to get back up old profundo bottles 😅

    Wait, so this is new and is going to replace the old one? I just went to Armani's website and they seem to be selling the "old" Profondo still. O_O I'm confused

    I really think based on L’Oréal logic, if they keep the same name, the intention is not to create a new scent but to keep the OG scent. If the FIL number is changed, most likely due to some ingredient sourcing changes. For example, passive sicenario : some raw material used to use now being banned, they are forced to replace the formulation and then try to reduplicate the scent as close as possible ; positive scenario: the brand wants to boost the sustainability of raw material, so they change the supplier of raw material but still intend to reduplicate the scent as close as its past version. In case of “keeping the same name, but with a new formulation”, it would be like the case of YSL Y EDT, new one versus the old one, and they did communicate that it is a new formula when the new one is released, for Y EDT, the cause of the change was mainly for the sake of improving its performance as the first generation of Y EDT, the performance was too bad.
    So in conclusion: I believe for EDT, Profondo EDP, EDP, Parfum, now in 2024 they are all in new pack (Parfum despite the same design, but the sizing regime is now changed from 40/75/125 to 30/50/100), but I do not assume the house wants to really create a new or adjusted scent apart from their past versions even if the FIL (formula Number) has been changed.
    The only intended new release from the house for 2024 big ADG campaign would be on “Profondo Parfum”.
    FIL changes are very often in cosmetics industry, even more in skincare items. In the case of fragrance production it can be even more sensitive as even for the same FIL , just by different batches could result in some nuances in its olfactory perception and slight alternation on its performance.
    Hope this bring an another perspective in this debate from someone who has always worked in the marketing of cosmetics brands. :-)

    Does this mean the juice was made in 2024? Or it was released on 2024?
    I got the new bottle with the gradient and I returned it because it said it was a batch from 2023 but do all the bottles with the new design smells the same?

    It looks like Armani is just trying to make the ADG line more cohesive? All refillable bottles and more streamlined? Idk but I guess they just want them to all be the same bottle style and have gradients.

  • @eddwallis6590

    Based on your review and description, I'm really excited, I wasn't a big fan of Profondo, I found it leaning towards those ambroxan scents, I didn't like that mineral vibe. I wanted Profondo to be cleaner, fresher and more pleasing, and you said that they did it. Plus the performance was below average.
    I'm really happy with what Armani did with Parfum (instead of the overhyped Profumo), and now Profondo, looking forward to Profondo Parfum.
    I'm sure as you said many people will resist the change and keep downgrading the new one, just because they love the overrated predecessors.

  • @milenkostadinov8702
    @milenkostadinov8702 Před 2 měsíci

    I just came back from a vacation trip to Europe and I must admit, the "standard Aqua" is about the same smell as the new PROFONDO. And I might bring a little confusion, but there are 200ml Aqua di parfum so it is like middle power between the actual parfum and eau de toilette.
    In terms of smell/flavour, to me, I would say 90% it is the same Aqua (which I loved for its fruity/fresh smell) but I don't think spending 2x or 3x more the price will be so beneficial (unless someone wants to brag with its new "toy") but wearing a parfum will make this hard as people won't see which one you wear, and they might be having a really fine nose to tell you got the 2024 or the 20xx (well known bottle).
    Having that said, I still love Armani for this, and I got myself a 200ml of classic for a bargain or 40Eur (special promotion because of 2024 kick ;) )
