After 10 hours of research evaluating 18 products, we picked Acqua di Gio Profumo as our top choice.
Looking for a new Armani cologne? Excellent choice.
Armani colognes for men are among the best and most-recognized in the world (both the scents and the impactful marketing images).
Olfactory maestro Alberto Morillas created Acqua di Gio in 1996 and history was made. Since then, Armani’s cologne collection has grown greatly, with multiple versions of original classics.
To take the guess-work out of your selection process, we’ve ranked the best Armani colognes for men.
The Winner
Our top pick for the best Armani cologne is Acqua di Gio Profumo, a stronger version of the original Acqua di Gio. We love the masculine appeal with warm, woody patchouli and incense. The top notes still feature that quintessential marine appeal associated with Acqua, with sea spray and tangy bergamot. It’s the perfect fusion of fresh, woody, smoky, and sexy. While some Armani colognes are best for evening wear or during a particular season, Armani Acqua di Gio is an all-occasion, all-year cologne.
Now, as a bonus, we also made a list of the sexiest best men’s cologne according to women.
