What Reddit owners say
4/5 Everyday“Acqua di Gio Profondo is the most versatile and I have all that you posted.”
1/5 SweetnessSummer“The idea of fragrances being “seasonal” is more of a suggestion than a rule, and that's basically to avoid wearing something overly sweet, spicy, etc. in the heat where it may become too cloying. Wearing “summer fragrances” in the winter doesn't really have that problem. I wear AdG Profondo almost year round because sometimes it's 28F outside, and I want to pretend like I'm at the beach.”
4/5“I was like this with Acqua di gio profondo last year and I have a 100 bottle Collection Can't bring myself to like l'exclusif though smells balsamic vinegary or something almost on me 😖 I'll try to wear it tomorrow again maybe see if I like it”
4/5 UniqueEveryday“From those, the two I'd personally spend more time with are **MFK Oud Silk Mood** and **Acqua di Giò Profondo**.”
4/5“Thank you! Much appreciated. I used to wear ADG Profondo to the gym but can definitely see this being another good one. I know some people are against wearing stuff to the gym but I just usually spray my wrists so I have something nice to smell since most of the equipment smells horrendous.”

4/5“ADG Profondo EDP is a really really solid choice that I reach for when I want a nice aquatic scent these days.”
5/5“I purchased ADG Profondo edp and ADG Parfum, and soon after grabbed a bottle of BDC edp. As much as I love these, I feel like they don't last longer than 4 hours on me.”
4/5 Fresh & cleanSummer“It's hot in SoCal and I keep it in my rotation. I find ADG Profondo to be the most clean, refreshing, and lightest of the line. Elixir is still fresh because it shares the same DNA but it does feel slightly “heavier” like it packs a punch of its own. A little hard to describe. Nonetheless, I still find it suitable for the summer. No more than 3 sprays and you're golden for the whole day. I can even smell it on me the day after until I take a shower.”
5/5 Longevity“I got ADG Profondo EDP 100ml for 6.6k. Amazing scent but does not last more than 4 hours.”
4/5 Fresh & clean“**Acqua di Giò Profondo** would be the one I'd keep because it smells clean, fresh, and never feels too strong. For example, I wear it during warm weather or casual weekend outings since it always feels comfortable.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I own ADG Profondo as well and I never reach for it because of my L'eau D'issey.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“ADG Profondo EDP. And YSl Myself are the only 2 I have emptied completely”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“If you like D&G Light Blue Pour Homme, I'd check out Acqua di Giò Profondo and Versace Dylan Blue. I own both, and they're still very easy to wear but give you a bit of variety:”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Office“My gf really likes ADG Profondo EDP (and the Profondo EDT). Also at work, a few of my co workers told me it's their fave fragrance I wear and not to wear anything else 😝”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“ADG Profondo EDT 100%! I prefer it over the EDP, because it's simply fresher, but don't let the EDT concentration trick you, it does last a bit. At least on my skin it does.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Myslf le parfum and adg profondo edp is what i bought yesterday.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Ones I've tried or own ADG Profondo Dior Homme Cologne French Avenue Essence De Blanc Diptyque Orpheon PDM Sedley”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Acqua di Gio Profondo (EdP). I'm 33 and that's a staple in my daily rotation. It'll work well in your climate.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“How you like the ADG Profondo? I bought a small sample and feel it dies on me pretty quickly.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Thanks for the suggestion, I have ADG Profondo”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Longevity“I got adg profondo parfum last month and it doesn't last long”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I haven't gotten my hands on it yet. It's on my shortlist. But from what I've seen from posts here, some associate it to raspberries, some associate it to leather and oud, some liken it to ADG Profondo, some liken it to Gisada Ambassador, etc. The community is divided by this one hahaha.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“If he doesn't wear the fragrance and pumps it while he gets commission, it's shilling. This dude has thousands of bottles but had time to finish multiple bottles of acqua di gio profondo. I have 100 bottles and finishing profondo took me 3 years whilst over spraying and it being one of my favorites. In reality he barely wears anything he speaks about”
