The r/fragrance community views XS (2018) as a successful reformulation that captures much of the appeal of the original 90s classic without requiring a hunt for increasingly expensive or potentially degraded vintage bottles. While acknowledged as slightly inferior to the original, it's praised for its fresh, citrus-forward character and considered worth purchasing as a reliable daily wear option.

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.
