Acqua Di Gio Profondo Lights, a fair balance between shadow and light
Some men's fragrances rely primarily on transparency and freshness. Indeed, men generally like fresh and invigorating perfumes. It reminds them of the Eaux de Cologne of the past, while deploying their daily dynamism. Other perfumes, on the other hand, showcase virility, appearing as a concentrate of wood and spices, brimming with testosterone. Acqua Di Gio Profondo Lights sits precisely at the border between these two worlds. It offers us a remarkable play of light and shadow. As the Italian house explains so well, Acqua Di Gio Profondo Lights plunges into the mystery of the ocean depths and finds the path leading from darkness to light. It thus grants us a new intensity, previously unexplored by the Acqua Di Gio collection.
Acqua Di Gio Profondo Lights, the perfume of an exceptional creator
To achieve such a balance, the Italian house pulled out all the stops and called on one of the best perfumers on the planet: Alberto Morillas. It must be said that he knows the Acqua Di Gio collection inside out, since we owe all the predecessors of Acqua Di Gio Profondo Lights to him. Here, he chose only very high-quality raw materials, while above all highlighting the house's Mediterranean spirit. Thus, Acqua Di Gio Profondo Lights opens with an alliance of green mandarin and cardamom. This gives it a luminous, gourmand and spicy facet. The marine accord then makes its appearance with intensity, combining with other Mediterranean aromatics, such as lavender, rosemary or mastic. The whole ends with a more woody breath of cypress, vetiver and patchouli. Thus, Acqua Di Gio Profondo Lights lets shadow and light float through men's daily lives.
The new blue color of Acqua Di Gio Profondo Lights
In terms of aesthetics, the shape of the Acqua Di Gio Profondo Lights bottle holds no great surprise. It reprises the exact silhouette of its predecessors, respecting the codes and understated lines of the house Giorgio Armani. The frosted glass of the past has given way to a bluish transparency. A gradient moving from dark blue to transparent runs along its walls. Acqua Di Gio Profondo Lights takes on a deep blue evoking the ocean depths, while featuring a few phosphorescent and turquoise effects. Acqua Di Gio Profondo Lights is an ode to virility in which power and refinement rhyme.
