The review

Acqua di Gio scores 3.8 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Acqua di Gio.

Oil Perfumery 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.

At $125 per 100ml it costs 4% less than Acqua di Gio — the 14th cheapest of 15 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Oil Perfumery 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. Oil Perfumery set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
