Aquatic Peony

The ocean has always had a special place in our hearts. It holds fond memories from our childhood; we frolicked in the waves, waded in the shallow waters, and scooped up treasures from the sea. Wouldn’t it be lovely if there was a fragrance that could evoke these precious moments spent near the ocean? Well, thanks to Armani, perhaps there is. Enter: Acqua Di Gioia.

Giorgio Armani’s Acqua Di Gioia is a luxurious eau de parfum that features distinct citrus, floral, and aquatic notes. It’s both understated and sophisticated at the same time, and perhaps one of the best women’s perfumes we’ve ever tried.

Aqua Di Gioia was launched in 2010, created by scent masters Loc Dong, Anne Flipo, and Dominique Ropion. The fragrance comes some 15 years after its well-known masculine predecessor, Acqua di Gio, and is one of many aquatic fragrances in a collection that captures Giorgio Armani’s vision for the everyday woman — joyful, elegant, and carefree. Armani’s feminine aquatic fragrance draws inspiration from the tranquility and exhilaration of Pantelleria, a stunning island off the coast of Sicily. It’s a scent designed to transport you to the beach, and it doesn’t hold back.

Citrusy lemon notes blend with minty fresh hints offering summer vibes. The fragrance develops into a bouquet of jasmine and peony florals that, when combined, lend it a distinctive floral character. Brown sugar and woody cedar notes create a musky, calming finish.

The base notes go exceptionally well with the citrus notes in the opening, adding seamless warmth and depth to the fragrance. There’s also something to be said about Acqua Di Gioia’s mix of tingly jasmine and brown sugar, a pairing that brings an unusually animal touch to an already aromatic fragrance.

And just as the ocean glistens under a sunny sky, Acqua Di Gioia really shines during the warmer months of the year. Acqua Di Gioia is a pleasant scent for daytime wear with its light, clean fragrance. You can spray it on most parts of your body, including your neck, decolletage, and wrists. But our favorite place to apply is on the creases of the knees and elbows, where the scent tends to last longer.

There are several variations of Acqua Di Gioia for purchase. The fragrance line includes Acqua Di Gioia Eau de Toilette, Acqua Di Gioia Eau de Parfum, and even an Acqua Di Gioia Eau de Parfum Travel Spray. You can get an Acqua Di Gioia gift set, which comes with a 3.4 oz bottle, a 0.5 oz fragrance spray, and a 2.5 oz lotion.
