Why We Love This Deal
Men's fragrances can be tricky. Cheap cologne is, well, cheap cologne, and expensive cologne is, likewise, expensive. That’s why, when you see any of the best colognes on sale, it’s worth acting. Right now, it's all about Acqua di Gio—Amazon has the 100ml bottle of the parfum concentration for an impressive 40% off and is giving shoppers good reason to feel confident in their purchase.
The 100ml bottle of Armani Beauty Acqua di Gio Parfum is now just $109. It is one of only two offerings in Amazon’s top 10 bestselling men’s colognes to be over the $100 mark (or the $30 mark, for that matter), with the other being Azzaro’s Most Wanted Parfum at $145. This is also the best price we can find—at both Macy's (the fragrance destination) and Nordstrom, it's still $182.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Volume: 3.3 ounces (100 ml)
- Type: Eau de Parfum
- Scent Profile: Woody aquatic
- Best Use Case: Creating a long-lasting, elegant scent.
The scent here projects a sense of nature, with rosemary, sage, and patchouli giving off forest notes while bergamot (famously in Earl Grey tea) and ginger undertones provide a vibrant, lively uplift. Meanwhile, there’s a dash of aquatic flavors to balance out the profile.
This cologne’s value comes from two factors. The first is its Eau de Parfum formula. Parfum, as opposed to Eau de Toilette, is denser, leading to longer-lasting scents.
The other factor is Amazon's sourcing. Many consumers worry about getting sub-par fragrance when purchasing online, and Amazon knows this. The retailer has labeled this product as “Premium Brand Sourced.” This means that Amazon has worked closely with the provider, in this case, it appears to be Armani directly, to verify the authenticity of the product being sold.

What Shoppers Are Saying
One shopper noted that the cologne is “not overpowering, but it lasts about 6 hours when sprayed on clothing, and gets compliments.” In other words, the parfum is strong but in a balanced way that lasts hours instead of being overly pungent in the first minutes before dying out.
Another shopper simply said, “My wife loves it.” And, sometimes, that’s all that really matters.
The Armani Beauty Acqua di Gio Parfum is currently 40% off, a rare bargain for a cologne that people will pay full price for.
