SQUAD

An "inspired" version of Acqua di Gio Profondo captures the essence of a deep-sea dive. It is widely considered a more intense, aromatic, and "blue" take on the original DNA. The Opening (Top Notes) Marine & Aquatic Accord: The very first spray hits you with a blast of salty sea water and "Ozone," making it feel incredibly cold and fresh. Citrus Zest: It features Green Mandarin and Bergamot, providing a sharp, tangy energy that wakes up the senses. The Heart (Middle Notes) Aromatic Herbs: As it settles, you’ll notice Rosemary and Lavender. This gives the perfume a "Barbershop" cleanliness—very neat, professional, and masculine. Cypress: Adds a touch of green, woody freshness that balances the saltiness. The Dry Down (Base Notes) Mineral Accords: This is the signature of Profondo. It smells like cold, wet rocks or a salty sea breeze. Modern Patchouli & Musk: Provides a solid, earthy foundation that makes the scent last longer on the skin and gives it a seductive, masculine trail. Why Choose the Inspired Version? The original Profondo is famous for its "Mineral" note. A good inspired version will mimic that "cold stone" feeling while maintaining the citrus-sea salt balance. It is a "crowd-pleaser," meaning it is very unlikely that someone would dislike this smell—it smells like a high-end, fresh shower.
