Armani BeautyAcqua di Giò – Elixir – Cologne for Men - Woody & Earthy Fragrance - With Notes of Violet, Leather, and Marine Accords – 1.6 Fl Oz

Elixir isn’t redundant, but it’s not essential for everyone. It shares some DNA with the others, but the overall vibe is different enough to stand on its own. If you already have the EDP or Parfum and mainly wear them for fresh, versatile use, Elixir might feel too heavy. But if you’ve always wanted a deeper, more assertive version with better staying power, this fills that gap.It’s more of a reimagining than a repeat. For some, it’ll be the one they reach for most. For others, it might stay on the shelf.The EDP is smooth and clean. The Parfum adds some warmth. Elixir goes a different direction - less aquatic, more spice and woods. There’s still a hint of that familiar Acqua di Gio DNA, but it’s buried under incense, patchouli, and a richer base. It leans more evening than daytime. Is it better? That depends on what you liked about the others. If you want something fresh and easy, stick with EDP. If you’ve always wanted more weight and depth, Elixir delivers.Performance is strong. Better than both the EDP and Parfum on my skin. It lasts 8–10 hours with a noticeable scent trail. The projection isn’t loud but steady. This one won’t fade away after two hours like the original often did.

This fragrance is a concentrated version of ADG, and personally, while the aquatic notes are maintained, the darker spices and patchouli comes out more in my opinion in Elixir. The longevity is a strong point, as to be expected with an elixir, but the projection is a bit weaker. I would get this if you like the original ADG but want stronger endurance and a more fall focused smell.

Excellent quality cologne.Long lasting scent.

The scent is subtle yet long-lasting, making it perfect for everyday wear. While it may not be the most unique or groundbreaking perfume, it's reliable and consistently pleasant. If you're looking for a safe and versatile option, standard perfume is a solid choice.

My husband has been really into cologne and pants lately, and we are still trying to find the perfect cologne. I think this one has a very nice earthy scent, with dressing table worthy bottle design that has an even spray. It lasts a good amount of time.

read reviews and its aqua di gio DNA mixed with Farenheight scent. ITs interesting in the sense i dont know if i like it or not? going to let it sit for a month and revisit it again and see how i like it. Theres a note that just is prominent and "sour"? giving 3 star and will update a later time. BTW profumo and the blue bottle are amazing

I’m no expert on colognes, but I do know when something smells good—and this does. It has a clean, smooth scent that actually smells expensive without hitting you in the face. I’ve tried others that are so strong it’s like walking into a cloud, but this one is more balanced. You can definitely tell it's there, but it doesn't take over the room.What I like most is that it stays fresh throughout the day. I put a little on in the morning and didn’t feel like I needed to reapply, even after work. There’s a subtle woodiness to it, but it doesn’t come across as too musky or heavy. Just... polished. Like you put effort into smelling good but didn’t try too hard.Overall, it’s a really solid option if you want something that’s noticeable without being loud. I’ve gotten a few compliments already, and I’m kind of surprised how much I like it.
