The review

Acqua Beach scores 6.1 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Acqua di Gio.

Scent Labz 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 $40 it costs 69% less than Acqua di Gio.

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 Scent Labz 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. Scent Labz set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Sea spray and citrus over soft woods, the fragrance every fresh masculine copies.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
