Acqua di Giò Eau de Toilette is the budget pick and the best fit for heat. Armani describes a marine opening with Calabrian bergamot, neroli and green tangerine, followed by rosemary, persimmon and Indonesian patchouli, and lists marine, bergamot and cedarwood as its key notes. Prices on Armani Beauty's US store are clear: $62 for 1.0 oz, $99 for 1.7 oz, $130 for 3.4 oz and $175 for 6.7 oz, with a 5 oz refill at $156. That makes it the cheapest regular-price bottle on this list and cheaper than Sauvage or Y at similar sizes. The bottle is refillable. On the downside, Armani does not publish a longevity figure for the eau de toilette, and the aquatic style can read as light in winter, which is why Armani sells stronger Parfum, Elixir and Profondo versions. We compared brand-published notes, sizes and prices and did not wear-test any fragrance.
