Acqua di Gio- Elixir

Violet Heavy

Some background, if I were to be stuck on an island and had to pick one. It will be ADG Profumo. This one reminds me if such, but the Iris ruins it for me. Reminds me of Fahrenheit. The violet kills it for me. It starts fresh, sweet, and salty. Then ends violet strong. Not very versatile for me. Great bottle with magnetic cap and good sprayer. Expensive as well.

A must have

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] If you like the fresh vibe of the original Acqua di Giò but want something deeper and more grown-up, Elixir is a solid upgrade. It starts off bright and citrusy, then settles into a warm, slightly smoky blend with lavender, patchouli, and vetiver. It smells clean, classy, and a little mysterious. Performance is great—lasts all day and projects well without being too loud. Perfect for evenings, cooler weather, or when you want to make a more refined impression. Overall, it’s a fresh-meets-dark fragrance that stands out without trying too hard.

Great addition to the ADG line!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Awesome scent! It reminds me very much of the unfortunately discontinued Acqua di Giò Profumo - which means this is more versatile than the OG or Profondo (which are more blue than aromatic), suitable for day or night and even the colder days. It's really, really nice and performs well too.

New Favorite!

I received this product in exchange for my honest review. The original Aqua has been my favorite cologne for ages. Funny enough that it may lose the crown to another Aqua di Gio, because Elixir is absolutely phenomenal. A clean and crisp scent, similar to the original just more of a fresh kick and longer lasting. The magnetic cap is a nice little feature as well, it feels so satisfying to click it back in place each time.

Elegant

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Acqua di Gio Elixir is a refined and deeper interpretation of the classic Acqua di Gio scent. It opens with the fresh, aquatic notes the original is known for but quickly transitions into a richer, more intense aroma, with warm, woody undertones and subtle spices. The fragrance feels sophisticated and elegant, perfect for evening wear or cooler weather.

Must have in your collection!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] In love! I’ve always been a fan of the original Acqua di gio and the new elixir version takes it to a whole new level! Very similar to the original but with a stronger and more refined smell. It lasts very long and I’ve gotten many compliments when I have it on. This is a must buy to have in your collection!

Game changer!

All colognes aren't made equal lol and this one is a game changer. Inside this small bottle, packs a powerful punch of aroma. The scent lingers around for many hours so you won't have to keep spraying this on. Very good product.

Smells great

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love the ADG line, and this one is no exception. The elixir has a clean, smooth scent with more spice and wood, it might feel heavy compared to other ADG, but it has a better staying power that lasts all day! I like it wear it at night rather than daytime. The performance is strong, better than EDP and parfum. It’s steady and won’t fade away fast. Smells great!

A fresher scent with more depth and grown-up polis

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Acqua di Giò Elixir surprised me in a good way. It still holds onto that fresh, wearable ADG vibe, but this one’s deeper, smoother, and just more grown. There’s a nice balance of green spice and soft woodiness that gives it some presence without doing too much. Performance is solid, I get about 7 to 8 hours, with 3 or 4 of those projecting well off skin. It’s clean, polished, and versatile enough for date night or daytime flexing. I gave it a 4 out of 5 — definitely an upgrade, just wish it pushed the envelope a bit more.

Wonderful fragrance

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is a classic and great masculine scent. To me it takes the original scent and mixes it with Profumo and something extra to give it a stronger and longer lasting scent. Overall I love this scent and plan to continue to where it when I clean up for more professional events. Great packaging and a wonderful value.

Business and Pleasure

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This wasn’t a cologne that was on my radar but now is another scent that I love. It lasts long, and people compliment me on the scent and ask. Its fairly priced for such an amazing cologne, and the bottle is subtle while delivering a bold statement.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The scent was pleasant without being overly powerful! I was worried it would be strong and obnoxious but was pleasantly surprised! The bottle design was easily manageable in my hand and the spray nozzle did a good job of creating a fine mist.
