It is a signature scent that transports its wearer to the serene landscapes of the Mediterranean. Take the Dior Homme Eau de Cologne for example. It fuses some of the freshest florals with some of the sweetest spices into fragrances that are both timeless and alluring. With its label plastered on some of the world’s most iconic men’s perfumes, Dior is the perfect gentleman’s companion. Some of our inspirations are: Christian Dior We formulated in France the best quality, long-lasting perfumes inspired by the brand name scents you love but at price you will not believe. Our brand was founded out of a desire to make premium fragrances accessible to everyone. If you’re down for a fair alternative to these luxury men’s perfumes, Dossier is the best choice. I would say, that in that case, you might do well with AdG Profumo or Profondo…which are both better than the original Acqua di Gio.Dossier: Iconic scent. I know that there are some folks who don’t like Eau Intense, so, AdG might win on mass appeal. The performance is better than AdG’s and the fragrance is just more interesting. Then, the juniper berry floating around the composition, and a solid amber wood base which keeps it all together. The frozen grapefruit and crisp aquatic accord are wonderful to smell. Its take on the aquatic fragrance, is awesome. However, Light Blue Eau Intense is the better of the two. The performance is solid, it is highly popular, and smells fantastic. It is a fresh citrus aquatic with a masculine spice and smooth floral undertones. Coming back to Eau Intense, it is much more of a summertime fragrance.Īcqua di Gio has been a great scent for men for over two decades, at this point. It probably is better for daily wear at school or an office. Update: Ehhh, I think I’ll give the edge to Acqua di Gio here. Neither is a more formal cologne, but for any other purpose, they’re great. They are great for the warmer months of the year, but can actually be worn any time, without issue. Definitely, taken a step back from the original, but not terrible.īoth of these fragrances are pretty much equal with when and where, they can be worn. Update: Testing newer samples of AdG that I received with other purchases, it seems to be in the 5-7 hour range, depending on the day. However, Intense will go for 9 hours for me, easily.Īcqua di Gio used to be a bit better than it is now, but newer bottles don’t have the same intensity, as they did upon initial release. Maybe the projection hits a few feet more, but Eau Intense has never been a beast-mode fragrance for me.ĪdG gets me 6-7 hours of wear, on my skin. Intense can definitely feel heavier up top, than Acqua di Gio ever does. I’d say that Eau Intense probably hits a higher point for a period of time, but after that they are pretty equal. They can be pretty strong for the first few hours, then, sit closer to the skin but aren’t ever weak. The cold crispness of the fruit and the smooth aquatic note is really great.īoth of these fragrances are pretty moderate in their sillage. Which is better? While I quite enjoy AdG and the way that it starts off, I think that Intense, is a bit better. The aquatic note is less of a salt marine type, but is joined by a nice juniper note. It actually does have a great cold feeling to it, that is refreshing to wear. Light Blue Eau Intense also starts off with citrus notes, instead opting for mandarin orange and frozen grapefruit. It can be difficult to find something special about it after all these years and so many wears, but AdG’s mix of citrus and jasmine with the light sea breeze manages to do it. Those opening minutes take me back and are still great after however many years. I’ve come back to AdG over the past year, while testing out the Profondo’s from Armani, and it still is absolutely pleasant. It’s a sea breeze of the usual citrus fruit and persimmon with the jasmine note, which sits amazingly well in that initial juicy blend Underneath that, there are floral notes, which consist mostly of jasmine and some neroli. Notes include: mandarin, frozen grapefruit, juniper, aquatic accord, amber woods, muskĬlick here to try: Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Intense Eau de Parfum Spray for Men, 1.6 OunceĪcqua di Gio starts off with a now famous citrus aroma of bergamot and tangerine, which is then paired with an aquatic accord, which has an oceanic quality to it.
