The 2010 Acqua di Gioia in the old bottle was the best performing Aqua/Citrus perfume by far. It was definitely sweeter. Almost melon like yet still a very fresh marine scent on the skin. The dry down progressed into a slightly warm gourmand sugared water. The projection and longevity was insane! Lasted days on my clothing. The current one is still nice. It just seems to be a bit more sharper and almost smells like air freshener to me at times 😅 Sun di Gioia was also amazing too! It was a sophisticated and grown up creamy sun tan lotion type of scent. Tropical and ‘beachy’ but no coconut at all. Such a shame they discontinued it.
Ocean di Gioia is my favorite. It smells a bit shampoo-y, and very clean and pretty, fresh without smelling like citrus. I’m so sad if they actually discontinued it already.
Acqua di Gioia is my ride or die. I’m a coastal girl so I absolutely love the sea-like freshness it gives. Thanks for your content. I’m enjoying learning about fragrance. ❤
Ocean Di Gioia is my new summer perfume. It reminds me of early summer morning, the feeling I get when I go outside in the garden next to the river to enjoy the morning sun. I get a little bit of salt, so I had to wear it when I watched The Little Mermaid on cinema. I think it fits the name, and I have to use it whenever I am with the lake, river or at the beach. Im sure this perfume later in life will give me good memories to good fun old summerdays.
Ocean doesn't seem to be discontinued, it's easily available where I am. Air is impossible to get in Germany. Terra, Sky, Light and Aqua are also all still available. Edit: Sky (in the new packaging) is available on some websites and the image of the old bottle is being used on other sites. So I'm unsure if it's the old version or new version they're selling on these sites.
Falls du dich noch für den Air di Gioia interessierst kann ich dir den gerne zuschicken. Hab den letztens bei mir in der Drogerie gefunden war selbst total überrascht, weil ich noch nichts von dem gehört hatte.
The original is by far one of the best perfumes I have ever tried! I had the one in the older packaging for years, and then bought the new one and I haven’t felt such a difference honestly
The one that I want to Know is also discontinued: Sun, with my beloved frangipani😥. Big hugs from Havana! For sure Ocean is better for this hot weather, but I don´t complain about the first one, it feels great on skin!
Omg you read my mind. I have watched your other videos on this range and hoped for an updated version. I have been considering buying Ocean and Aqua for the last few weeks. Thank you for making this video 💜
I've been looking for gifts for my sister, and I really appreciate how you mention the performance as well! You are obviously very knowledgable about your craft and obviously the go-to for women's perfumes!
I just purchase the aqua de Gia perfume since it was half off at Ulta. I really wanted the Ocean version, but the green one is very close. I really like the lightness of the two scents. I’ve purchased the men’s cologne of these for my sons. Great scents from Armani
I bought Aqua de Gia as a new year purchase, I am really like it , I am a fan of all Armani fragrances, bus this one smells great,it’s a light summer perfume.💖
Wow I had no clue that the original Acqua di Gioia was discontinued and repackaged with a whole new scent 😫 i have the original, discontinued version in the old packaging. Now I feel like I need to try the new version as well. Great review!
I’ve never been super interested in the di Gioia line, but after seeing all of them gathered together, I really want them because I love the bottles and caps. 😅
Terra and Acqua are two of my favorites in my collection. I was on the fence about Terra until I smelled it on a sweater I had worn the day before and thought, what is that amazing smell? I find it similar to Valentino Donna Acqua.
I have a sample vial of Donna and have fallen madly in love with it. But it seems hard to find. Maybe discontinued? I'll definitely have to give Terra a try. Thanks for the info!
Another great video. I tried a number of these when I bought a Airport travel pack. I miss the original bottle but would be interested to try the new one. Blue looks great on you. Thanks from Australia 🇦🇺 😊
I thought I’d like Ocean more than Aqua, but I don’t. I like the opening but the dry down is boring. And my husband agrees. I always predict what he’ll pick. Do you like Air better than Ocean? For the price I would like something that lasts longer and doesn’t smell indistinguishable from laundry soap. And do you find people gravitate towards white or yellow florals? I tried Philosophy field of fliers Peony blossom and it was a very cold sharp strong overwhelming almost nauseating, and I’m not sure why because supposedly men love white florals, but not my husband - maybe this profile doesn’t work and I need sweeter. You mentioned humid climates, good point - I’m in dry Colorado.
I have Ocean di Gioia. I live in a country where the summers are hot, since it's not that warm yet, I tried it the other day and it was a little too much for me, it even made me sneeze and have a slight headache. It smells nice, I'll give it a shot in the summer.
I really love a blend of white florals but from the color yellow and the name "Light" I never thought that one was white florals. I never even gave it a second glance, because I thought it would be beachy and/or lemony. Now I'll have to give it a try. Also, long ago I was gifted a sample of Gio, liked it a lot, and went out to buy it. But I couldn't find it because the new Gioia range was being heavily promoted and none of the ones I tried came close to being anything like Gio. I finally found Gio again (many, many years later), but by then I'd found others that I like just as well, (thanks to Soki, yay! 😁) and some of them last longer, as Gio is/was a toilette. Gio is definitely still on my wish list, but now at a much lower priority.
@@flower1990-B you're a miserable wanker aren't you? The amount of comments you've posted on soki's channel while spewing vile is hilarious. Get a life
New to your channel, I don't know where I have been!! I love fragrance. Acqua Di Gioia is one of my fav fragrances!! Love it!! I'll have to try Terra. I think I have samples of the others. Thank you!!
I’m just out to get a 50 ml of air and I will have them all … I found this collection so confusing due to the older version / pkging… your video was very much appreciated! Until yesterday I didn’t even know AIR existed … it’s due to the 3 Color’s being similar! 💞
The light di gioia has been one of my all time favorite scents! I’m already on my third bottle. I just wish their was a similar perfume. Most perfume end up smelling like soap on me after an hour of wear.
I think you inserted the male version of Acqua di Gio at the end. The female version looks different and it’s still available as far as I know. Really enjoyed your review on this nice range!
I would like to see reviews of perfumes that are more mature than the gourmand, sweet fragrances that perhaps is better for young girls/women. I really like ambery, woody florals, like Hermes eau de marveilles, twilly, j'adore, chanel 5.. Thank you.
Hi Soki! Another great video. Congratulations on your own perfume line, I am very excited for its release. I was wondering if you would review the Fragonard perfume brand from France. I have several of their fragrances and love them. I really want to know if they are Soki approved :)
There used to be a Sun as well, I have never smelled it before, but a friend of mine kept saying that she had that one but got rid of it because it went bad, and now she misses the scent so much but can’t remember what it smelled like😢
I love your range videos! Btw, have you had a chance to smell YSL Mon Paris Lumière EDT? It has JUST arrived in Canada and it's quite a beautiful ozonic floral scent with patchouli and musk at the base!
Love the review, but pls. Gioia is in Italian so you don’t pronounce the first i😭 It’s so hard to say if you pronounce the i, the right way is just “Joy-a”
I lean towards deep, rich scents, but now that I live in a somewhat tropical climate I "need" (LOL!) more refreshing scents in my collection. I think I may try Ocean next. Also, have you ever been to the famous pharmacy, Santa Maria Novella in Florence? It would be great for you to do a review of their range and history sometime in the future.
I have the Air one because somebody said its like an old fave of mine from the body shop (oceanus). Its not. I fancy the ocean one tho. My collection is getting out of hand. 198 to be precise. Its your fault lol. 🥰🥰
Could you recommend a similar perfume to "sky"? I LOVE fresh floral perfumes (blooming bouquet, bright crystal, ..) I just can’t find one that actually lasts and can be smelled after I spray it on me 😅
I have acqua and ocean I also purchased terra but I had to return 😅 it gave me baby lotion ( lavender John & Johnson’s) to be specific and I mean that was a NO for me I don’t hate it but I don’t love it and it was inducing a headache so I exchanged for Valentino Coral fantasy ❤ I got it at Macys by the way but seeing your reviews I want to get Light Di Giaoa next I love My way line so I want to give it a try 🫶🏼 is it fresh ? I love freshies specially for summer right now
I believe that most bottles recommend using it up within 2 years of opening, but that being said, I still have a perfume oil that is over 20 years old. It still smells wonderful!
