What Wearers Say
Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio

Another wearer likes its blend of aquatic freshness and lime-like citrus.
Some wearers enjoy the scent but wish it lasted longer.
One wearer finds the citrus opening overpowering before it settles into an ocean-like scent.
Rasasi Hawas
One owner enjoys its fresh, fruity aquatic sweetness without finding it cloying.
Another wearer likes its bubblegum-like scent and the drydown.
One wearer finds the sweetness and sharp synthetic impression cloying.
Another owner likes the scent but finds it fades too quickly.
The Verdict
Acqua di Giò EDT is our pick for a fresh everyday scent. Marine notes, citrus and rosemary smell like sea air on clean skin, and it's one of the colognes that defined the aquatic style in the 1990s. Hawas comes at freshness from the sweet side: apple and citrus with cinnamon and plum, over grey amber and driftwood. Choose Hawas if Acqua di Giò feels too plain to you; it has more sugar and more personality.
