Acqua Di Gio

Advantages: Smells Great
Disadvantages: Can be expensive

...Hi. I'm going to share with you my experiences with Armani's ACQUA DI GIO today. This fragrance came out way back in 1996 following the successes of Armani Mania (1981) and Armani Eau Pour Homme (1984). I have no hesitation in saying that Acqua Di Gio too is a success. Armani's Acqua Di Gio for Men is constantly being advertised everywhere, particularly in Debenhams and Men's magazines such as Men's Fitness and Men's Health. This was a big factor behind me buying this because Armani weren't going to spend millions advertising this fragrance if it was not good. Neither would Debenhams display posters of it everywhere either. I also bought my 50ml of Acqua Di Gio because of the positive reviews from word of mouth and from the Internet. I bought mine from Superdrug. Anyway... Armani's Acqua Di Gio for Men comes in a simple...

Fiori di Capri

Advantages: Scent, long lasting, unique
Disadvantages: price, difficulty to find

...The description of an essence is far more complex than the addition of formulas which jointly result in a perfume. Each component is especially chosen to represent a human characteristic, therefore making the perfume transcendent a single sense and, nearly define an entire personality. Fiori di Capri is the definition of class. The aroma is refined and utterly chic in a way that intimidates those who are not comfortable with luxury. Of all the perfumes I have encountered, Fiori di Capri is the most opulent without falling into the ridicule of excess. In order to understand Fiori di Capri, it is important to regard its origins and the legend which famed the creation of the Carthusia perfumery. Capri is a delightful island in the Bay of Naples and has been traditionally the home-in-the-sun for rich and powerful. There is something...

Acqua Di Gorgeous!

Advantages: An all day fragrance
Disadvantages: None

...This is undoubtedly one of my favourite fragrances. Acqua Di Gio is the older brother of Armani's new daytime fragrance Mania, and as such is a much more responsible mature fragrance, but no less fun! It is light, fresh and very different from the usual musky aftershaves for men. Plus it smells expensive! It is a light citrussy fragrance with rounded musky/woody undertones which make it good for nights out, but essentially this is a day time fragrance. This is for the young (and young at heart) professional - suitable for business meetings, as well as a night out on the town. It's a fun but formal fragrance and is slightly flamboyant compared to other mens aftershaves, but no less masculine - it's an alternative to the norm - which is always welcome! It is very distinctive and you do not need to wear a lot of it - it lasts...

Fonana di Trevi

Advantages: Make your wish
Disadvantages: No

...If you do love the city of Rome and you wish you go back,the best place to make this wish is at the Fonana di Trevi-remember the song " Three coins in a fountain". Legends says that by throwing a coin over your left shoulder into the fountain guarantees a return to this beautiful city. Throwing three coins mean you will get love,luck and be able to return to Rome!!. I threw three down the fountain the last time I was there - really hope this comes true. The Hollywood movies "Three coins in a fountain" and "Roman holiday" were filmed here-that's why this place is so well-known. The fountain is huge with places to sit aroud it. However, it's difficult to squeeze in as it's always packed with people, a very busy place indeed....

Acqua Di Gio smells divine!

Advantages: Smells divine, fresh and light perfect for daytime
Disadvantages: Bottle is a bit boring

...Right so here I am again, letting you know what I think of Acqua Di Gio Eau De Toilette this time. Any of you who have read my profile will know that I do adore my beauty/hair products and perfume! I am slowly working my way through all the things that I have tried, to be honest it should keep me busy for a while as there are quite a few of them lol Acqua Di Gio was launched all the way back in 1995 and it still smells as fresh and new as it did back then. You know how some perfumes age over time and don't seem to smell as good as you get older and your lifestyle changes, well I think this still suits me as much as it did the first ever time I tried it about 10 years ago. Made my Georgio Armani as a lighter daytime option to his other perfumes I tried this after I had already tried another of his perfumes - Gio which was quite...

acqua di mio!

Advantages: pretty unique, fresh!
Disadvantages: irritates my skin

...!* ~The packaging~ Acqua die Giò is available as an Eau de Toilette, and comes in a minty-green cardboard box. On the front of the box is written in dark green 'Acqua di Giò, Giorgio Armani, Eau De Toilette Vaporisateur natural spray. The bottle design is quite simple, made of frosted glass, with the name of the fragrance once again written on the front in dark green lettering. The cap is a platic golden affair, so the overall look is simple chic. The sprayer is of gold coloured metal and delivers short bursts of fragrance. The fragrance itself is acqua green, but sprays clear. ~The fragrance experience~ Acqua di Giò starts off with a top note of fresh cut flowers (sweat pea smells sweetly rosy), with middle notes of oceanic freshness, or the smell of a freshly rained upon garden, and then ambery woody musky notes round up the base...

GTA: IV

Advantages: Graphics, Online Play. Storyline, Mobile Phone, Internet, Police Computer, Trophy System
Disadvantages: Lack of mission variation, No more robbing houses, No more buying houses, No more gym

...GTA:IV finally arrived and I must say that I was slightly disappointed. First of all the feature from San Andreas which allowed you to buy houses has been removed, now you are given houses depending on your path and stealing from houses has also been removed. Secondly, no more going to the gym. However many new features have been added, the best of which being the the internet cafes and Police computers, also the use of the mobile phone comes in handy. You can use the mobile to phone for help and also to access cheats, etc. From the police computers you are able to do vigilante missions, etc. The missions are much more repetitive than usual (assasinations and pick-ups) rather than for example controlling the RC Helicopter in San Andreas. The driving at first is also quite difficult, but once you get used to it it's great...

Di Maggios Home Run

Advantages: Cheap and Cheerful
Disadvantages: Not for the conniseur

...I fell it is time to add to the Glasgow Restaurant section, are there no Glasgow Ciao members? Di Maggios is a Glasgow based chain of mid market, mid priced restaurants. The restaurant I have visited was in the West End of Glasgow, Just off Byres Road on Ruthven Lane. It is not very well signposted from the road and on your first visit you feel that you are going round the back of someones house to get there, down cobbled lanes. I wouldn't advise single females to venture on their own or with your best stilletoes either. The restaurant was busy on a Friday night at about 8pm and the crowd was a real mixture, some couples, girls nights out, leaving parties etc. The room is very dark and lit with candles, to be honest I did not notice any other decoration as it was dark but the tables were very close together. We were...

Rocky 4 (aka Rocky IV)

Advantages: more great entertainment and a bit of boxing
Disadvantages: none

...Brown Band) 3- Double or nothing (by Kenny Loggins/Gladys Knight) 4- Eye of the Tiger (by Survivor) 5- War (by Vince DiCola) 6- Living in America (by James Brown) 7- No easy way out (by Robert Tepper) 8- One way street (by Go West) 9- Sweetest Victory (by The Touch) 10- Training Montage (by Vince DiCola) **IN CONCLUSION** Another great movie in the Rocky sequels. Although the story is again the same format as the previous 3 Rocky's it still doesn't spoil the enjoyment of the movie. This fourth Rocky is by far the best storyline with half the movie taking us to Russia as we watch Rocky train in a Neanderthal type of way, involving using rocks in a sling as weights and lifting a cart full of people?.meanwhile, Drago is being trained in the most up to date gymnasium known to man? The total...

Basilica di San Marco

Advantages: Beautiful
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...Yes, another Venice review...Probably my last one though... Okay...Saint Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco) was built in 1071, and is in Venice, at St Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco). The square can be hard to find, or very easy, depending on how good you are at navigating the streets (needless to say, we had a bit of a struggle!) Even though the basilica is enormous, I couldn't see it at all until we stumbled straight onto St Mark's Square, where it suddenly leaps out on you, dominating the place. If ever you go to Venice I would strongly recommend a trip to St Marks Square, as this building is probably one of the most amazing you will ever see. The thing that struck me first of all was the sheer colossal size of it. It is toweringly tall, and extemely wide, I have never seen anything like it. I was expecting to see...
