FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Acqua di Gio Profondo good for summer?
Yes—this is one of its strongest use cases. The marine opening and mineral dry-down stay fresh in heat without turning sweet or heavy.
How long does Profondo last?
Most people get 6–8 hours. In high heat and humidity it may sit closer to the skin after the first few hours.
Is Profondo better than the original Acqua di Gio?
For modern wear and longevity, usually yes. Profondo feels deeper and lasts longer while keeping the aquatic spirit of the original.
