Description

Acqua di Giò Parfum Elixir is the most intense, sophisticated chapter in the Acqua di Giò legacy — a reinvention that trades the light marine breezes of the original for a darker, richer, and more magnetic aura. Released in 2024, this Elixir is not just fresher or stronger — it’s reborn, crafted for the modern man who’s outgrown youthful zest and stepped into refined confidence.

The opening is a refined take on freshness: bergamot, ginger, and marine accords — still oceanic, but more textured, like sea air at midnight. There’s a smoky-woody undertone from the start, hinting that this isn’t the typical citrus-drenched summer spritz.

As it develops, the Elixir reveals its signature move — a core of clary sage, geranium, and lavender, twisted with vetiver and mineral notes. This heart feels aromatic, green, slightly metallic, and impeccably clean. But where the original Acqua di Giò was breezy and transparent, Elixir is polished and powerful, like steel beneath silk.

The base is where it truly diverges from the past: incense, patchouli, tonka bean, and a dry, modern amberwood accord give the Elixir its weight. There’s a warm, smoldering character here — elegant but with a whisper of danger. Think: tailored suit at dusk, not linen at the beach.
