Jorge di Profumo

The Scent Profile

Jorge di Profumo kicks off with a bracing citrus blast – lime and lemon, mostly. It's instantly familiar, aiming squarely for that Acqua di Gio vibe. However, there’s a slight synthetic sharpness in this opening, a kind of cleaning-product edge that the original avoids. The heart shifts into a pleasant marine accord, with a vague sweetness from the peach and freesia. This is where the similarities peak. I'd say it captures about 80% of Acqua di Gio's breezy freshness. The drydown lands on a clean musk with a woody backbone. The oakmoss is subtle, lending a slight earthy depth. It lacks the sophistication of the original's base; it's simpler, a bit more linear.

The Performance Stats

The projection is moderate for the first hour, creating a nice scent bubble. After that, it settles closer to the skin. Longevity is decent. I get about 4-5 hours before it fades into a faint whisper. Reapplication is necessary for all-day wear. If you crave that Acqua di Gio profile but balk at the price, this is a worthwhile gamble. Just be aware of that initial synthetic zing and the shorter lifespan. It's perfect for casual wear, the gym, or anywhere you want to smell fresh without breaking the bank. This gets you close enough .
