Giorgio Armani
6 fragrances
Giorgio Armani, the Italian fashion house launched in 1975, is represented here by six men's scents, five of them from the Acqua di Giò family plus Armani Code Colonia. The common thread is marine freshness: sea notes and bergamot on top, sage, rosemary and geranium in the middle, and patchouli, incense or vetiver below.
A go-to for men who want a clean, aquatic signature that suits most days.
Where to start with Giorgio Armani
- Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Eau de Parfum: the 2022 version, an aromatic aquatic with sea notes and green mandarin, clary sage, lavender and geranium, and a mineral, vetiver and patchouli base.
- Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio Profumo: bergamot with aquatic notes, then geranium, rosemary and sage, ending on patchouli and incense. Deeper and smokier.
- Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio Profondo: aquatic notes and bergamot over rosemary, sage and geranium, with incense and patchouli.
- Giorgio Armani Armani Code Colonia: a 2017 aromatic fougère by Antoine Maisondieu, with bergamot, mandarin and pink pepper, orange blossom and sage, and tonka with heliotrope.
How to choose
For hot weather and everyday use, Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio and the 2022 Eau de Parfum are the natural starting points. If you want the same marine idea with more depth for evenings or cooler months, Profumo and Profondo add incense and patchouli. Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio Absolu is another variation in the family; its notes are not listed on our page, so compare it on skin. Code Colonia stands apart with a softer, slightly sweet orange blossom and tonka finish.
