Esnc A.104

How it Smells

Esnc A.104 is clearly aiming for Acqua di Gio. The opening is bright – you get that familiar lime and lemon blast. Maybe a tad sharper, a little more synthetic than the original. The heart moves quickly into those aquatic notes. There's a hint of peach, but it’s pretty subdued. This clone is about 90% of the way there. The dry down leans heavily on white musk, making it feel cleaner, almost soapy compared to AdG's more complex base. Oakmoss is there, but very, very light.

The Performance Stats

Longevity is where A.104 stumbles. Expect around 4-5 hours of noticeable scent. Projection is moderate for the first hour, then settles close to the skin. Perfect for the office or a casual day. Don't expect it to last through a long evening out. Reapplication is necessary.

Is it Worth It?

A. It’s a great daily beater. For everyday wear, A.104 will do the job nicely. If you need that extra bit of refinement and performance, spring for the real deal. But this is a worthwhile grab.
