Amazing dupe
Having been an Acqua Di Gioia fan for over a decade, I was skeptical. It’s not a perfume that is commonly replicated on the market & I’ve searched for proper dupes for years. This perfume being so cheap, I sort of assumed it would have similar notes & if it held me over until I can get the next bottle, then I would call that good. However, upon opening, I found the amount in the bottle for the price to be a great value. The bottle’s sprayer seems to be good quality, & the box arrived as photographed. The bottle colors are very similar in color to the original Armani. I could instantly tell from scent memory upon opening the bottle that this was an amazing dupe. I feel that the notes aren’t just kind of similar, like many “impressions” types of perfumes, but exactly the same. I would say the florals are *ever* so subtly more noticeable in this blend, which a devotee or daily wearer might recognize. But in a side-by-side scent test, all of my family members recognized it as my signature scent, & agreed that it was virtually identical to what I had left in my original bottles. There are review comments about dry down time & wear length that originally made me hesitant to order, which I feel are the most common complaints about the Armani, as well. The original Armani scent is known for being a light, clean fragrance, that is often reapplied by wearers before the day is over because it doesn’t have lasting power. I personally feel the wear time for each perfume is roughly the same, & this price point makes it far more affordable than the comparable $120 for the Armani, to be able to buy & throw an extra in your bag to carry with you to refresh. I can’t say enough good things about the smell. It’s definitely got the notes of the lemon, soft florals, & the most subtle background notes of woods/musk to finish. Whether you are wanting a duplicate of the original scent, or just something beautiful & clean to wear as a daily or special occasion scent, I cannot recommend this enough!!!!!
