Acqua di Giò
Before you buy
From a 85% community match (middle value of every % people gave or implied) and what people say
Overlap: People rate these 80% alike or more, so owning both is likely to feel redundant.
Sample first? Sample Blue Homme first. If it works on your skin, you may not need Acqua di Giò.
Performance, per people
- Blue Homme falls short: Some find longevity and projection weak, bottle leakage noted elsewhere 4

Вы не с тем Acqua di Gio сравниваете, он клон как раз классики EDT, а у Вас EDP.
Translation: You are comparing with the wrong Acqua di Gio; Blue Homme is a clone of the classic EDT, and you have the EDP.
Armaf Blue Homme — клон Acqua di Gio? (opens in a new tab)YouTube comment@naturelover234795% match, read from the wording
Armaf blue homme- Clone/compared with Aqua di Gio(Armani).. (opens in a new tab)Armaf blue homme is not 70-85% clone of Acqua di Gio but 500% clone of Acqua di Gio. It performs far far far better than original Acqua di Gio pour homme in terms of performance, sillage, projection, longevity, lasting, everything.

YouTube comment@Ohimunda
mat kharidna dosto na longevity hai na kush diluted hai boht na projection achi hai yeh paise leke review bna dete hain bas
Translation: Don't buy, friends: no longevity, very diluted, projection isn't good; they just make reviews for money.
