The r/fragrance community views Acqua di Gio as a classic, well-regarded fragrance with fresh and clean characteristics that appeal to both men and women. While the original is beloved for its versatility, flanker versions (especially Absolu) are polarizing, with some praising their unique qualities while others find them harsh or unnecessarily different from the original DNA. Performance is consistently noted as a strength of the reformulations.
