Acqua di Gio
lime · lemon · bergamot
Acqua di Gio opens on sharp lime and bright bergamot, and a sea breeze soon follows. In the heart, rosemary and coriander keep things fresh, while jasmine and rose soften the edges. The base of cedar, white musk and patchouli stays quiet and clean. Wear it on summer mornings, when the heat starts to rise.
