GIORGIO ARMANI ACQUA DI GIO AFTER SHAVE

Acqua Di Gio After Shave carries the same marine freshness as the Eau de Toilette into your shaving routine, and it comes in two forms. The balm is creamy and sinks in without residue, which suits dry or sensitive skin and leaves no sting. The lotion is a traditional liquid splash, lighter and more cooling, with the brief bracing hit many men expect after a shave. Both are far more diluted than the fragrance itself, so the scent sits close to the skin and fades within a couple of hours. That makes them easy to layer under the Eau de Toilette rather than compete with it. Apply to clean skin straight after shaving.

Expert Answers

What does Acqua Di Gio After Shave smell like?
It follows the Eau de Toilette: a bright opening of lime, lemon and bergamot over a marine heart with jasmine, rosemary and peach, finishing on white musk, cedar and patchouli. On skin it reads softer and cleaner than the fragrance, because an aftershave carries far less perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette does.
What is the difference between the balm and the lotion?
The balm is a cream. It absorbs into the skin, adds moisture and does not sting, which makes it the safer choice if you shave close or have sensitive skin. The lotion is a liquid splash: lighter, more cooling, and it gives the short sharp bite some men actually want after shaving. The scent is the same in both.
How should I apply it?
Rinse with cool water and pat your face dry, then apply while the skin is still slightly damp. With the balm, a coin-sized amount is enough, warmed between the palms and pressed in rather than rubbed. With the lotion, pour a little into your hands and pat it on. Avoid any fresh nicks either way.
Can I wear it with the Acqua Di Gio Eau de Toilette?
Yes, and for most people that is the point of buying it. The aftershave leaves a light base of the same scent on the skin and the Eau de Toilette goes on top, which helps the fragrance stay consistent through the day. Apply the aftershave first, give it a minute to settle, then spray as normal.
Is an aftershave the same as a cologne?
No. An aftershave is made for skin straight after shaving, so it is heavily diluted and usually contains soothing or moisturising ingredients. A cologne or Eau de Toilette is built to project and last. Expect a couple of hours of close, soft scent from an aftershave, not a full day of sillage.
