Armani Acqua Di Gio Eau de Toilette

So fresh and so lean I received an Armani Acqua Di Gio gift set for Chrismtas and to be honest my first thought was not another aftershave. I now have a massive collection of them with some I wear all the time and some I bought on spur of the moment that I have never used again. As I had no familiarity with Acua Di Gio I assumed this was because I must have tried it in the shop and decided I didn't like it. Oh how wrong I was. I can't believe I have never noticed this aftershave before and it is quickly becoming one of my favourites. History Acqua Di Gio was first introduced in 1996 and I was ... more

Ok boy's want to pull tonight? Well let me give you a dead cert that will get women giving you a second glance! Noooooooooo! Do not go out without any clothes on -have you seen how cold it is? The second glances will only be women pointing and sniggering! Nope if you want to get a second glance I really do suggest you go and invest in a bottle of Acqua Di Gio pour homme. This is basically a female magnet or as I might have drunkenly described it "a most shaggable aftershave". Ok so don't take my word for it take yourself down to Boot's and give it a quick sniff....... So you need a bit more ... more

Yes that's right, the Badger is going to give his opinion on another aftershave and today it's going to be one of my all time favourites, Acqua De Gio by Giorgio Armani. Up until last year I had never smelt or seen this in the shops. That was the case until one night I agreed to look after my sister. My dad wandered into the room and the beautiful fragrance that is Acqua De Gio followed him. I was instantly hooked. Acqua de Gio is a fairly new fragrance for men. I bought my bottle from the Armani shop in Manchester for £32.00 for a 50ml bottle. The actual bottle is very basic, with a rounded ... more

Back in the mid-90s there was something of a revolution when it came to mens fragrances. Gone were the days of heavy, spicy, woody scents - replaced instead by fresher, lighter, citrus almost feminine notes. Launched in 1996, Aqua Di Gio from Giorgio Armani was one of the main players in this change and quickly became one of the most popular scents of the end of the 20th century. Apparently, Mr (Giorgio) Armani gets his inspiration for fragrances from the island of Pantelleria, located half-way between Sicily and Tunisia in the Mediterranean. Unfortunately I've never been to the island (and ... more

I don't know about the rest of you guys (and I mean 'guys' in the original, ballsy sense of the word), but isn't it always the same at Christmas? You get around 35 gallons of various after-shaves, colognes, eau de toilettes and general whiffy substances. It used to be that when you opened your prezzies come Christmas morning, a solitary bottle of Old Spice was about your lot....maybe even some 'splash it all over' Brut. But that's back in the days when men were men and only nancy-boys resorted to girly nonsense like dabbing on fragrances or using hot water to shave. Nah, a quick splash of ice ... more
