Acqua Di Gio Eau de Toilette (1996) combines marine notes with bergamot, neroli and green tangerine, alongside rosemary, persimmon, patchouli and cedar. It's the template for the blue marine cologne: salt air, citrus and a herbal Mediterranean edge from the rosemary. Acqua di Giò EDP, Parfum and Profondo are separate versions.
