Aqva Amara is a highly divisive fragrance with strong admirers and detractors. Those who enjoy it praise its unique composition, excellent performance, and suitability for hot weather, often receiving compliments; however, many find the bitter orange and aquatic blend off-putting, describing it as harsh, synthetic, or smelling like rotten/dirty oranges. Its discontinuation has made it difficult to obtain at reasonable prices.

Acqua di Giò Profumo is appreciated for its fresh, aquatic character with incense notes and is considered a solid designer choice worthy of serious collections. However, the community consensus indicates significant longevity issues that don't match expectations for a Profumo concentration, making it better suited for clothing application or frequent reapplication.
