Buyers of the authentic Acqua di Gio Profumo (the black 'signature' scent line this SKU imitates) call it one of their most complimented fragrances, but several report they can no longer smell it after roughly 6-7 hours on skin.

This 100ml men's parfum suits someone who wants a black-bottle aquatic fougère with an incense base and is comfortable buying a custom export goods unit. The claims I have cover the authentic Acqua di Gio line and replica-checking tips — none describe this exact bottle. Ask the seller for logo close-ups and shipped weight before ordering.
Reference price
$24.45 USD $26.12Final item price, service fees and international shipping are confirmed on the shopping agent's website.
Pros
- · 100ml parfum-concentration men's fragrance, per the listing.
- · Complete note pyramid given: bergamot and sea water at the top, geranium, rosemary and sage in the middle, patchouli and incense at the base.
- · For the authentic Acqua di Gio Parfum, a 2024 review measured roughly 7-8 hours of longevity with 1.5-2 ft projection in the first couple of hours, and one blog reviewer reported over 9 hours — context for the scent family, not a reading on this bottle.
Cons
- · Sold as custom export goods, in a batch of 35, so it is not presented as the brand's own retail bottle.
- · Several buyers of the authentic Profumo version say they can no longer smell it after roughly 6-7 hours — a reported trait of that scent line, not of this bottle.
- · No buyer reports in the claim list cover this specific listing.
Fit notes
One stated size: 100ml parfum. That is the large-format bottle for this style of scent; the listing names no other size, and there is nothing beyond volume to size on a fragrance.
Buy if
You want a 100ml men's aquatic fougère with patchouli and incense underneath, you know this is sold as custom export goods rather than brand retail, and you're ready to check logo print and bottle weight against the genuine item.
Skip if
You need brand-authentic provenance, or buyer reports about this exact listing before you commit. Nothing in the claim list describes this bottle, so if peer feedback on this specific SKU is what you're waiting for, it isn't here.
