AllThematic Territory
The deep-water evolution of the most iconic aquatic masculine — where the original Acqua di Gio skimmed the Mediterranean surface, Profondo dives beneath, adding mineral depth and amber warmth to the archetype.
Era & Context
Modern
Profondo extends the Acqua di Gio franchise into the EDP era, responding to consumer demand for longer-lasting fresh fragrances. Alberto Morillas deepened the original's marine transparency with patchouli and amber, creating a bridge between the aquatic and woody-aromatic families.
