The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2026 by Giorgio Armani, Acqua di Gio Eau de Parfum Intense is a fragrance that reimagines the classic aquatic genre with a fresh twist. Created by perfumer Alberto Morillas, this composition opens with green apple and Calabrian bergamot, bringing a vibrant freshness to the forefront. The marine notes add depth, creating a sense of openness and clarity. Clary sage adds a subtle herbal warmth, while woody notes and amber form a grounding base that ensures a lasting impression.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points, as the green apple and bergamot top notes are bright but short-lived. The woody and amber base notes emerge gradually, making this fragrance best suited for daytime wear when you want a fresh, invigorated scent that lasts through the day.
