360 Red

The Scent Profile

360 Red tries its best to capture the essence of Acqua di Gio, and gets respectably close – I'd say about 90%. The opening hits you with that familiar citrus blast: lime and lemon are dominant, though perhaps a touch more synthetic than the real deal. The heart brings in those crucial sea notes, but it's also where the peach comes through a bit stronger than in AdG. It adds a slightly sweeter edge, not unpleasant, just...different. The drydown is where the gap widens; the white musk is more pronounced, and the oakmoss feels a bit muted, lending it a cleaner, less earthy finish compared to Armani's classic.

The Performance Stats

Let's be real, this isn't going to break any records. Expect around 4-5 hours of longevity. Projection is moderate for the first hour, then it settles close to the skin. Fine for a workday, you'll need to reapply if you are hitting happy hour after 5pm.

Bottom Line

360 Red is a solid everyday grab. If you enjoy Acqua di Gio but don't want to drop the cash, this is a good alternative for work, the gym, or running errands. If you're a die-hard fan who needs that extra bit of refinement and performance, stick with Acqua di Gio. But if you just want a fresh, clean, aquatic scent without breaking the bank, 360 Red is a practical choice for the budget-conscious fragrance enthusiast.
