Three different measures
Lasting longer isn’t the whole story.
- Longevity
- How long you can still detect the scent.
- Projection
- How far the scent radiates around you.
- Sillage
- The scent trail you leave as you move.
Bars use the same scale for every bottle. Projection and trail are qualitative ratings from light to heavy; they don’t describe hours at full strength.

#7 for longevity
Acqua di Giò Eau de Toilette
Bergamot & neroli · Marine freshness & rosemary · Cedar & patchouli
Familiar freshness. The lightest presence.
EDT is our starting point for bright citrus, marine freshness and an aromatic, woody finish. We get 5–6 hours, with light projection and light sillage. Choose it when you want that familiar Acqua di Giò character with a quieter presence, or a fragrance for a shorter part of your day.
Choose it for Fresh citrus and marine character, with the lightest projection and trail in this comparison.
Consider: It has the shortest wear time here. EDP adds hours with a light trail; Profondo EDP extends the range further while keeping sillage light.

#6 for longevity
Acqua di Giò Eau de Parfum
Green mandarin · Marine notes & sage · Vetiver & patchouli
More hours. A light trail.
EDP brings green mandarin, marine notes and sage into a woody patchouli-and-vetiver drydown. It lasts 7–8 hours on our skin, with moderate projection and light sillage. We would start here for a step up from EDT in wear time and presence around you, while keeping the scent trail restrained.
Choose it for A fresh aquatic scent with moderate projection and a light trail.
Consider: EDP Intense and both Profondos offer longer ranges in these estimates. Choose the scent balance you prefer rather than assuming every upgrade will suit you better.

#5 for longevity
Acqua di Giò Eau de Parfum Intense
Apple & bergamot · Marine notes & clary sage · Amberwood & patchouli
A fruity opening. Longer wear.
EDP Intense takes the freshness toward green apple and bergamot, with marine notes, clary sage and a warmer amber-wood base. We get 8–9 hours, with moderate projection and light sillage. Sample it if the brighter fruit and warmer finish appeal, especially when you want more wear time with a light trail.
Choose it for A fruitier opening, a warmer woody finish and a light scent trail at 8–9 hours.
Consider: Its projection and sillage match EDP in our ratings. Intense adds wear time and a different scent direction rather than a stronger trail.

Joint #2 for longevity
Acqua di Giò Parfum
Bergamot & marine notes · Rosemary & sage · Incense & patchouli
Aquatic freshness. An incense drydown.
Parfum pairs bergamot and aquatic freshness with aromatic herbs, patchouli and incense. It lasts 9–10 hours on our skin, with moderate projection and moderate sillage. We would compare it first with Profondo Parfum: their performance ratings match, so the drier incense character is a useful reason to choose this one.
Choose it for Freshness with a drier incense-and-patchouli finish, plus 9–10 hours of wear.
Consider: Its range overlaps Elixir’s 10 hours and matches Profondo Parfum. Choose its scent profile rather than expecting a large performance gap.

#4 for longevity
Acqua di Giò Profondo Eau de Parfum
Mandarin & marine notes · Rosemary, lavender & cypress · Patchouli & musk
Marine and aromatic. A lighter trail.
Profondo EDP is our starting point for salty marine freshness with rosemary, lavender, cypress, patchouli and musk. It lasts 8–10 hours, with moderate projection and light sillage. That wide range overlaps the longer-wearing picks, while its lighter trail offers a different balance from Parfum and Profondo Parfum.
Choose it for Marine and herbal freshness, longer wear and a light scent trail.
Consider: The 8–10 hour range does not guarantee ten hours each time. Profondo Parfum has a narrower 9–10 hour range and moderate sillage in our estimates, along with a different resinous character.

06 / Parfum
Joint #2 for longevity
Acqua di Giò Profondo Parfum
Bergamot & marine freshness · Immortelle · Cistus absolute
Mineral freshness. A resinous finish.
Profondo Parfum brings bergamot and a marine impression into the richer, resinous character of everlasting essence and cistus absolute. It ties Parfum at 9–10 hours, with moderate projection and moderate sillage. Sample it for that mineral, balsamic direction rather than expecting it to project more strongly than Profondo EDP.
Choose it for A resinous, mineral take on aquatic freshness and a moderate trail at 9–10 hours.
Consider: Its projection matches Profondo EDP, and its wear range overlaps it. The fuller trail and different drydown are the distinctions worth comparing on skin.

#1 for longevity
Acqua di Giò Elixir
Citrus & nutmeg · Marine & violet notes · Patchouli & leather
The longest wear. A leathery drydown.
Elixir leads at 10 hours on our skin, with moderate projection and moderate sillage. Citrus and marine freshness meet a green violet character, patchouli and leather. It is our starting point if you want that woody, leathery direction with long wear, while keeping the moderate level of presence in mind.
Choose it for A green, woody and leathery take on Acqua di Giò, with a 10-hour wear estimate.
Consider: Several ranges overlap its 10 hours. Its projection and sillage match Parfum and Profondo Parfum here, so the Elixir name does not mean a stronger trail in this comparison.

Acqua di Giò, answered.
Which Acqua di Giò lasts the longest?
Acqua di Giò Elixir lasts the longest on our skin, at 10 hours. Parfum and Profondo Parfum tie at 9–10, Profondo EDP lasts 8–10, EDP Intense 8–9, EDP 7–8 and EDT 5–6. Several ranges overlap Elixir’s ten hours.
Does Acqua di Giò Elixir last much longer than Parfum?
Elixir lasts 10 hours in our estimates, while Parfum and Profondo Parfum each last 9–10. That is a close result. All three have moderate projection and moderate sillage here, so their scent profiles are important buying differences.
Does Profondo Parfum last longer than Profondo EDP?
Profondo Parfum has a 9–10 hour range, versus 8–10 for Profondo EDP. Both have moderate projection, but Parfum has moderate sillage and EDP has a light trail. The overlapping hours do not promise a fixed improvement on every wearing.
Which Acqua di Giò has the strongest projection?
EDP, EDP Intense, Parfum, Profondo EDP, Profondo Parfum and Elixir all have moderate projection in this comparison. EDT is light. None receives a strong projection rating here.
Which versions leave a lighter scent trail?
EDT, EDP, EDP Intense and Profondo EDP have light sillage. Parfum, Profondo Parfum and Elixir have moderate sillage. Projection describes the scent radiating around you; sillage is the trail left as you move.
Is EDP Intense stronger than Acqua di Giò EDP?
EDP Intense lasts 8–9 hours on our skin, versus 7–8 for EDP. Both have moderate projection and light sillage. Intense brings a fruitier opening and a warmer amber-wood direction without a higher projection or sillage rating here.
Are Acqua di Giò Parfum and Profondo Parfum the same fragrance?
No. Parfum emphasizes aquatic freshness, aromatic herbs and an incense-and-patchouli finish. Profondo Parfum has a more resinous, mineral direction with bergamot, everlasting essence and cistus absolute. They share our 9–10 hour, moderate-projection and moderate-sillage ratings.
How are overlapping longevity ranges ranked?
The chart orders the upper end first, then the higher lower end when upper ends match. Elixir’s 10 hours comes first, the two 9–10 hour Parfums tie next, and Profondo EDP’s 8–10 follows. The bars keep the full ranges visible rather than presenting them as guaranteed gaps.
Are these longevity figures guaranteed?
No. These are our wear estimates; skin, weather, application and perception affect the result. Hours describe overall detectability rather than time spent projecting at full strength.
Where can I compare prices for each Acqua di Giò version?
Use the shopping options next to each version. Matching catalog offers supply prices when available, while reviewed listings without a matching price use a check-price button. Confirm the exact version and bottle size at the retailer.
