Armani Acqua di Gio Pour Homme - After Shave

I am getting quite a collection of aftershaves now so I will be reviewing one that was bought for me as a present for Christmas and it has become one of my favourites – Aqcua di Gio by Georgio Armani. This perfume was obviously launched Giorgio Armani in 1995. It is meant to be a refreshing and floral fragrance. Packaging This aftershave comes in a light grey box which is rectangular.

One of my friends wore this exclusively for about a year, and when I recieved a bottle for Christmas, I was elated. On her, it smelled like citrus, on me it smells a little of cinammon and cloves, on my sister it smells like the ocean, and on my mother it smells like vanilla.
