The review

On paper, Acqua di Gioia is an outside bet if you want Acqua di Gioia for less.

Oil Perfumery sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Acqua di Gioia's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $125 per 100ml it costs 21% less than Acqua di Gioia — the 5th cheapest of 5 twins we can price.

Value2.3
Evidence7.0

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

The original opens on mint, lemon and pink pepper, turns to peony and jasmine, and settles into cedar, labdanum and brown sugar. That is the brief Acqua di Gioia is working from.

Top

  • mint
  • lemon
  • pink pepper

Heart

  • peony
  • jasmine

Base

  • cedar
  • labdanum
  • brown sugar
Bruised mint and lemon over light woods, the feminine face of the Armani sea.
