A long shot

The review

A long shot. That is where King of 90s lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Acqua di Gio.

Scentual Obsessions 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.

Strength: eau de parfum, on a par with most originals.

It is $133 per 100ml.

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 Scentual Obsessions 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

What it is chasing: lime, lemon and bergamot up top, sea notes, jasmine and calone in the middle, white musk, cedar and oakmoss underneath — the shape of Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio.

Top

  • lime
  • lemon
  • bergamot

Heart

  • sea notes
  • jasmine
  • calone

Base

  • white musk
  • cedar
  • oakmoss
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.
