The review
Obsidian Spirit scores 5.9 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Acqua di Giò Absolu.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Acqua di Giò Absolu's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $64 per 100ml it costs 39% less than Acqua di Giò Absolu — the 2nd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Absolu is sea notes, bergamot and pear at first, lavender, rosemary and geranium at its heart and woody notes, Tonka Bean and amberwood at the end. HK Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
