The review

Sea Waves & Black Rocks scores 5.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Acqua di Giò Profumo.

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

At $90 per 100ml it costs 50% less than Acqua di Giò Profumo — the 9th cheapest of 11 twins we can price.

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

Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Profumo is sea notes and bergamot at first, rosemary, sage and geranium at its heart and incense and patchouli at the end. Scentual Obsessions set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • sea notes
  • bergamot

Heart

  • rosemary
  • sage
  • geranium

Base

  • incense
  • patchouli
For the one who wants the crisp Mediterranean freshness of the original deepened with smoky incense and mineral rock for elegant evening wear.

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