The review
With You, Always scores 6.3 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Acqua di Gio.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Acqua di Gio's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $64 per 100ml it costs 51% less than Acqua di Gio — the 11th cheapest of 15 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 Gio is lime, lemon and bergamot at first, sea notes, jasmine and calone at its heart and white musk, cedar and oakmoss at the end. HK Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
