The review
On paper, Acqua di Giò Absolu Instinct is a strong bet if you want Acqua di Giò Absolu Instinct for less.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Acqua di Giò Absolu Instinct's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 79% less than Acqua di Giò Absolu Instinct.
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 Palermo 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
The original opens on sea notes, lemon and bergamot, turns to seaweed and patchouli, and settles into amberwood and ebony wood. That is the brief Acqua di Giò Absolu Instinct is working from.
Top
- sea notes
- lemon
- bergamot
Heart
- seaweed
- patchouli
Base
- amberwood
- ebony wood
Seaweed and ebony wood drag the Gio seascape down to the tideline, brinier and considerably moodier.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
