all the people saying that it's a fake bottle: the 40ml doesn't have the same features as the rest of the sizes (75m, 180ml): meaning no magnetic cap and no silvery bottom.The juice is still the same! (I have all 3 of them) Also, to my understanding, there never was made fakes of acqua di gio essenza. At least never have faced 1
As I am a little older, I prefer ADG Essenza . . . It's really nice, lasts long and is a great compliment getter ! This could also be someones signature scent . . . Thanks for sharing !
I am pretty young and i use the ADG Essenza as my daily perfume.It smells really nice and lasts long.I used it for day&night time and my friends really liked it
Yesssss Bradley!! Essenza is in my top 10 personal favorite list, love it. So refreshing and compliments galore. Bigger bottles do have the magnetic cap (on the 2.5 & 6 oz versions at least). My vote is for Essenza.
It's very close to the original imo, except grassier with the vetiver. It's like ADG but for the spring. Stunning flanker. Also the best presentation ever in the ADG line. If the original is by the beach, than Essenza is a walk in the woods near a tropical beach. I'd rather put this in Spring rotation than summer- the EDP makes it punch past the cooling spring air and the grassy vibes make this far greener. More in the polo green cool water family than the original. Original vintage is a odd mystical sweet moss base where as this is woody- very sexy!
buri zaemon Father's day is coming up and I want a good cologne to buy for my father and grandfather I smelled the original adg and I love that but I want something different cause they already have the original one I want something that's going to last and it smells good and make them happy so please help me out and I'm 14 so i really need help in that department
@@DoomiePookie I don't have that problem with either of these fragrances. I think it's either your skin or your nose maybe both. But they both smell amazing and not powdery at all to me. All though dylan blue is a bit synthetic smelling kinda like sauvage when you put your nose close to it.
I like this more but I think Profumo is a better creation from an artistic point of view. both ADG flankers keep the dna which is awesome. a lot of flanker nowadays go in totally different directions. and I also like that they didn't milk this with 20 flankers for every year. just look at Issey miyake lol. and more recently YSL l'homme
Great review bro! I need to test that one out. I love the original. I used to own it before I broke the sprayer and had to give it away haha. Profumo is awesome, but this seems interesting. Keep it up man! Loving the b-rolls!!
the comparisons to perry ellis 360 red are valid. I may get essenza at some point just to have all 3 di gios but other things to purchase at this point, especially with 360 red being very identical.
Agreed profumo is the best from Giorgio Armani. Armani Code profumo is his 2nd best in my opinion it has similar performance to ADGP and smells like a mix between the original armani code and 1 million so if you haven't tried it yet you should.
Good review! By the way, just one question: given your ratings per parameter (4/5, 2.5/5, 4.5/5 and 3.5/5), the Arithmetic mean is 3.625 , that is, the final rating should be 7.25/10 (or 7 1/4/10). Why 8/10? Do you give different weights to rating parameters?
Like other frag channel, no, I suppose he doesn't calculate all the specific ratings to give final rating. Final rating is independent, it's more like your overall feel to it of how much you love it, fundamentally.
I'm a huge fan of the original adg but I feel like it has been ruined by reformulation. It's not as woodsy like it used to be; it's more of a citronella plant based fragrance which bothers me. Essenza sounds like vintage original
Hello. Can someone please let me know (they never touch on this question directly)...the original ADG (eau de toilette) is a great fragrance. Do Essenza and Profumo smell like ADG EDT, only stronger...or are they three completely different scents?
ADG Profumo hands down. Essenza is nice but between the original and the latest release, it has no place Now for some reason I feel the need to check out FragBoy Stewie's channel haha
Profumo all the way. The reast are too weak for me. Maybe essenza, but I replaced original with 360 red. Can I ask you... of the two, bvlgari atlantique or dylan blue, which one would you go for?
Agreed. Tried them before but never side by side. And yeah, Atlantiqve is a looot better. It is so smooth, a cross between adg profumo and sauvage with a very prominent Aqua DNA in the dry down, that aquatic seaweed that infuses perfectly with smooth sweetness. Dylan Blue is rugged, needs refining. The transitions of Dylan I find harsh and no well blended although it is an amazing frag, a mass pleaser which I love in general. But Atlantique is another level for me. I couldn't stop snifing my hand, like I couldn't with both sauvage and profumo... and now atlantiqve... bt not dylan blue. So I know which one is for me.
Brad, I bought a used one recently. I cannot compare it with a new one as it is already discontinued in my country. The scent does not open similar to the original ADG, nor does it have the huge aquatic smell than the original. Drydown has some nuances of Armani Code, like some smokiness - it smells clean and has good performance. It does have some nuances also of ADG Profumo which I own, but what concerns me is that the scent does not evolve at all similar than the original ADG. Bottle is exactly as the one I'm seeing in other reviews (it is a 3.4 Oz). Batch code refers to 2015. Based on what I'm telling you, would you say that the liquid has gone stale or is it legit? Thanks!!!
I think Aqua Di Gio smells outdated. I appreciate and I wore it out back in the day but I can't handle it anymore. This is too similar to the original. To the average nose, same thing.
Hey brother,,, can you tell me some fragrences that Tom ford grey vetiver smells like... I've heard good things, but I would like some comparisons.... thanks
I've seen other videos that say it is supposed to have a magnetic cap and the same metal plate as profumo on the bottom and if it doesn't have those then fake???
MrET I had perry ellis red for 7 years before it spoiled and it was identical to essenza. performed better too. my batch was 2011 and was beastly outperforming all the adg flankers. from what I've heard it's weak now. essenza has also been reformulated. if I were u but profumo I have it. it's ok
I prefer the presentation of essenza but a magnetic cap would have been great! NOW!...the more important part... Essenza has a disgusting note in the drydown which reminds me of eggwhite! Cant stand it. thats why the OG and profumo wins. We'll see how the newest release (Acqua Di Gio - Absolue) will be of the the ADG line...
profumo.....the original reminds me of when I was aboard my Navy Ship and ....we would just spray on Aqua di gio and thats it....no showers no nothing just wanted to hit the port......so it reminds me of grimy, slimy, sun burned , sailors...lol hahahah

love these outdoor reviews, good vibes😎
Profumo for sure. Smells fantastic with added patchouli/incense, great performance, great compliments...cant complain.
I love Essenza more than Profumo...i think it's the best from ADG line. I like profumo but the incense doesn't work on me...

Same, the incense just comes off way too powdery on my skin. Same with versace dylan blue.

I like the profumo much better. im 29. and i think profumo lasts longer too. i have the 200ml bottle.
Every Fragrance that Giorgio Armani release with "Profumo" word on it, is great.

+Imagine Scent Thanks Timmy, Killin it with your vids too!👌
I enjoy Profumo. Nice vid! Your camera work and screen presence are becoming better and better. Keep it up :)
Thanks - been trying out some new things regarding the set-up and presentation, glad you enjoyed!
the comparisons to perry ellis 360 red are valid. I may get essenza at some point just to have all 3 di gios but other things to purchase at this point, especially with 360 red being very identical.
i used to own it before two years, and i'm pretty sure it has a magnatic cap.
I prefer this one over the other two 😊
Imho ADGP > ADG > ADGE
I find Essenza too floral and i'm not a big fan of floral fragrances.
P.D: Brad What do you think about Armani Code Profumo?
Agreed profumo is the best from Giorgio Armani. Armani Code profumo is his 2nd best in my opinion it has similar performance to ADGP and smells like a mix between the original armani code and 1 million so if you haven't tried it yet you should.
Let's get a vote going! What's your favorite acqua di gio?
tripleinc. put me down for ADG Profumo
tripleinc. original adg gets me way too many compliments profumo is not better but I last longer
tripleinc. Essenza has a magnetic cap ..might have a fake buddy
Profumo!!
Mark Mark smaller bottles don't have magnetic caps...2.5 and up have magnetic caps.
i love Arqua di Gio, i NEVER heard of Acqua Di Gio Essenza until what late last year 2022
#1! great summer scent!
Out of stock everywhere. Discontinued?!
Patrick Bateman yup

they're both really similar, but I'd go it aqva atlantique - i think the aquatic edge makes it more interesting than VDB

save your money and go for 360° Red Men Perry Ellis i have both
same same smell different different price

I don't know if they reformulated it, but on me it has super performance 9+ hours.
Natural outdoor review,Brad..... Awesome!...
super bro & thank you for review
Profumo bottle is the best looking out of the 3 .... and ya can no longer buy this in oz
best youtuber of all the time 😂👍🏼
😂
I wear profumo day and night.
Profumo by miles I get 12 hours
essenza all the way.
Hey brother,,, can you tell me some fragrences that Tom ford grey vetiver smells like... I've heard good things, but I would like some comparisons.... thanks
definitely try Dueto Parfums Citiver
Per te, quale dei tre è il migliore.....ADG_ADGP O ADGE???
I like Profumo
Profumo is boring, good for old people. Essenza is really good and long lasting.
I've seen other videos that say it is supposed to have a magnetic cap and the same metal plate as profumo on the bottom and if it doesn't have those then fake???
This is a 40ml. They don't have those features
40ml ?
triple inc the fragrance god
What is that awesome closing song? Almost all songs by Chuki are instrumentals, but which one is it?
It's called surfing by Joakim Karud
Thank you :)!
Well actually there is only a song called "Let's go surfing" of the guy. However, this is what I here at 6:47. Please help me out ;)!
I thought they all had magnetic caps?? am I wrong??? you sure yours is real?
Yes, I have the same bottle size . The smallest bottle (40 ml) has no magnetic cap
Heinz Entertainments it’s fake
I think you have a fake. they all have magnetic caps.
nope, 40ml size lacks those features 😅
Where would you put perry ellis 360 red compared to the aqua di gio line?
+MrET towards the botton in every category besides price
Cool! Keep up the good work man , love the channel.
IMO perry ellis smells more like profumo..but of all the 3 i like 360 red more...better performance than the aqua di gio line
MrET I had perry ellis red for 7 years before it spoiled and it was identical to essenza. performed better too. my batch was 2011 and was beastly outperforming all the adg flankers. from what I've heard it's weak now. essenza has also been reformulated. if I were u but profumo I have it. it's ok

Eh. Mine is magnetic.
Can you do a review on Armani Eau d'Arôme?
Why is the video quality so high? No option for lower ? It consumes too much data on my end. loads slower, too. Looks great, though.
Why can’t I find this cologne in online stores?
discontinued, on Ebay or Amazon are the last ones ...but expensive , 2. option is a clone of essenza
@@goodkovi which are the clones of adg essenza?
