What Reddit owners say
4/5 ValueEveryday“Yes, it's on my to buy list, just waiting to grab it at a good price, I'm also eyeing Narciso Rodriguez bleu noir and trying to find ADG profumo since it was my signature at some point”
5/5“I got the parfum one. Been my favorite since having a try to the original ADG profumo (discontinued?) from my uncle's stash. How does the elixir play up compared to parfum?”
4/5“I've tried the perfume it is cloning that us ADG Profumo, and it is doing a great job here. Sample received needs to be macerated, not everything you get needs to be reviewed the moment you get it. Let the perfume settle in cold dark place, saas lene de tu usko!!!”
5/5 Value“Okay. Just in case u think to get Aqua Oud, take it and you won't regret. Im a big fan of that DNA and AAM is doing really good stuff and the price/value is amazing. I was really thinking i used ADG Profumo. Im thinking of to get Mandarin sky elixir from the Odyssey lineup, but im not 100% sure yet.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Formal“ADG Profumo. First ever cologne that made me think “wow, this smells like a wealthy man” as a teenager. 7 years later, I got back into fragrance heavily and completely forgot it existed. I decided to pick some up after finding out it was discontinued and will be my wedding scent next week.”

Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I told that my collection is humble (Layton, Prada Homme, Acqua di Gio Profumo، Pure Havan, ...). To be honest, none evolve like Tom Ford perfumes I tested.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Office“Keep coming back to the ADG parfum with its flankers as my go to (though still trying to find legit ADG Profumo on the secondary market.) But God's honest truth, I work in an office full of women as a healthcare provider, and my patient's and staff never comment more positively or more often than when I layer Drakkar Noir and Kouros.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Yeah it depends what you've got. I've got ADG Profumo and Profondo and they are both pretty strong. Scent lasts for at least 6 hours if not more.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I've had fragrances that were great straight out of the bottle and never changed over years (Prada L'Homme (2 bottles), ADG Profumo, Dylan Blue, TF Ombre Leather (2 bottles).”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I don't have it but im curious about ADG Profumo. I have the Parfum. Profumo has been discontinued and effectively replaced by the Parfum. While the Parfum was clearly intended to carry the scent forward, opinions seem to be divided on whether it truly lives up to Profumo's legacy. Some say the Parfum is a worthy successor with a smoother, more refined take on the DNA. Others still believe Profumo remains the superior fragrance.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“When I used to wear perfumes for this purpose (20s-early 30s) ADG Profumo and Issey Miyake were quite well received. Issey is an all time pleaser across genders.”
