“Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia – The new essence of joy.”
Fragrances are tricky and entirely subjective, what may be appealing for one, might be repelling for the other. However, when we hear high-end luxury brands like Giorgio Armani coming out with perfumes, there is that faint sense of anticipation and trust that a brand like theirs can’t go really wrong.
This classic luxury Italian brand’s signature fragrance was launched in 2011. The Acqua di Gioia really has a lot going for it and here is why it should feature on your dresser.
What Giorgio Armani promises –
“Acqua di Gioia is a hymn to nature in all its forms. It is a clean, incredibly fresh, aquatic scent that is ultra-approachable, yet memorable.
• HEAD: Begin with a “mojito” inspired sensual blend of crushed mint leaves, warmed by brown sugar and mixed with the zest of Italian Limone.
• HEART: Feminine floral notes emerge with joyous hints of acquatic Jasmine, dew of Peony and subtle traces of pink pepper.
• BASE: Its signature Mediterranean trail is rooted by the hearts of cedarwood and Labdanum.”
