Acqua di Giò Profondo Eau de Toilette

Aromatic–aquatic olfactory signature

Sea & bright citrus DNA

Created by Alberto Morillas, the 2025 Eau de Toilette version emphasizes an instant immersion effect: a marine accord modernized by Aquozone meets the juicy brightness of a grapefruit–lemon duo. This first iodized wave reveals a character airier than the Parfum edition, while retaining the mineral depth for which the line is renowned.

Mediterranean fougère revisited

At the heart, rosemary, lavender and cypress compose a vibrant aromatic bouquet recalling the scrubland bordering the Italian coast. Finally, a bed of patchouli, mineral woods and clear musks anchors the base: a sensation of damp rock warmed by the sun, where salt, earth and stylized ambergris intermingle.

Technical construction & dosage

The “marine shower” effect

The marine accord represents 18% of the concentrate: a high ratio that guarantees the iodized impact without heaviness. Citrus totals 12% (including 7% grapefruit), delivering an immediate aromatic flash.

Controlled sillage

The perfumer limited lavender to 3.5% to avoid a soapy effect while retaining a clean signature. Patchouli Heart at 2% and amber woods at 1.5% fix the juice on skin for up to eight hours within a halo roughly an arm's length in radius.

Eco-formulation & sustainability

Responsibly sourced ingredients

Lavender and rosemary come from traceable European supply chains practicing agroecology, while the patchouli is certified Fair for Life. 89% of the molecules are classified as readily biodegradable according to OECD 301.

Reducing the carbon footprint

Replacing natural ambergris with a synthetic mineral amber reduces emissions by approximately 0.8 kg CO₂ eq per 100 ml bottle. The concentrate is formulated cold (≤ 45°C), saving 17% energy compared to a standard heated formulation.

Application & layering tips

Optimal application

Spray twice on the chest, once on the nape; the airy sillage will activate with every movement. On a cotton shirt, add a spritz to the inside of the collar to prolong diffusion.

Freshness or depth layering

• To boost citrus brightness: layer a neroli Cologne on the wrists.
• To accentuate the woody depth: add a drop of sandalwood oil on pulse points.
• For a sea & smoke effect in the evening: combine with a discreet spray of incense myrrh on a jacket or scarf.
