  1. 1Manzana

    I was obsessed with it at first, but then it got a bit boring. It’s great for summer, smells unisex, and has a powerful trail that people notice in open spaces.

  2. nataliedrm

    It’s fresh and elegant, perfect for heat, but doesn’t last long once it dries down. It reminds me of Thomas Kosmala 4, which disappointed me, just like with another one, even though both seemed gorgeous at first. Still, I think it’s worth it and works perfectly as a unisex scent.

    I bought it without realizing it was an EDT. It smells fresh and delicate, just like all the Di Gioia flankers. Totally unisex!

    This EDT is amazing, it performs like an EDP. Lasts for hours with a great trail, soft and present; it’s totally feminine, unlike the EDP which leans more unisex. I prefer it because it’s sweeter without that strong citrus and minty kick of the EDP. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get it before they reformulate it, hehe, who knows.

    What a delicious smell this EDT has! It performs like an EDP, lasting hours with a good trail—soft yet present. It’s feminine, unlike the EDP which leans more unisex. I prefer the EDT because it’s sweeter without that strong citrus and minty touch. I don’t know if I’ll get to try it reformulated, haha.

  7. Beremora

    It’s an EDT with good performance, medium longevity, and moderate sillage. Ideal for heat or the beach, something the EDP isn’t due to being more intense. It has a citrus freshness with a subtle, delicious minty touch. Very feminine thanks to the white flowers. Highly recommended, though every skin is different.

    I have the pre-discontinued version and I love it, though I won’t repurchase since it doesn’t last long on my skin. It smells soft, fresh, citrusy, and floral, like someone just showered on a summer morning near the sea.

    It sounds super feminine to me; I smell quite floral. I love it!

  10. IsabelII

    The opening is citrusy with lemon, orange, and bergamot. On my nose, they aren’t as refreshing but rather astringent and spicy. The oceanic and sea breeze notes make it aquatic, perfect for vacations. Acqua di Gioia is pleasant but too commercial. I prefer niche scents from Ibiza or Parma. It’s the feminine equivalent of D&G Light Blue. The salt accord elevates it, but I still prefer other things.

    It smells good and fresh, but to me, it smells very masculine.

    Smells great and is fresh, but it feels too masculine for my taste.

  14. Perfect for summer! Feels much lighter than the EDP. A refreshing scent that puts you in a good mood, clean, and long-lasting. An excellent choice for all those hot days!

  15. In my opinion, it’s the fruitiest version of all the Acqua di Gioias. I’ve tested samples, the EDT, and the Eau Fraiche, and I’m sticking with the original and the Eau Fraiche. It smells good and is pleasant, but I think it’s the least original; very fruity, it reminds me of Escada’s summer editions. I see it as a summer scent for young women, almost teenagers.

  16. nictehaitzel

    It evokes a sea breeze at dawn next to a garden of white flowers with a soft perfume.

  17. Where I live, it’s hot and humid all year round, so the fragrance needs to be soft, fresh, and non-invasive. This is my most recent purchase and I like it so much… and so do the people around me. Although it’s an EDT, its trail is slightly soapy, feminine, and rich. I used to use the original Aqua di Gio and end up feeling suffocated, which doesn’t happen with this version.

  18. A perfume for the heat of the season, just as spring starts here. I grabbed a sample and loved it. It has personality; I find it delicious. Fresh and sweet, feminine… I think I’ll buy a larger bottle than the sample.

  19. Total freshness, perfect for beach days. I was looking for something soft and it didn’t disappoint: smells like sea water with lemon, pleasant and refreshing. You have to get close to catch it, nothing overpowering. Citrus and aquatic notes aren’t usually my thing, but this one caught me off guard.

  20. Very fresh, ideal for summer days at the beach. I bought it looking for something soft and it didn’t disappoint. It’s like sea water with lemon, pleasant and refreshing. You have to get close to the skin to notice it; nothing overwhelming. I don’t usually use citrus or aquatic perfumes, but this one captivates me.

  21. SeleneHdez

    It’s an EDT with good performance, medium longevity, and moderate to soft sillage; exquisite for hot seasons, even at the beach, something I wouldn’t consider with the EDP due to its intensity. The opening has a citrus freshness with a tiny but delicious touch of menthol. It’s very feminine due to the white floral. Highly recommended, though every experience is different; I suggest trying it on the skin.

    Super refreshing, without the mint of the original, which I found more pleasant. It’s super soft; I feel it like lemon water; at first, the lemon stands out, then come the flowers, sugar, and woods. Moderate longevity and projection. For me, the original ends up overwhelming me, whereas this one, on the contrary, feels like part of me.
