It's weird to think that it took me nearly 16yrs to buy it! I actually think it was the male version of the fragrance I fell in love with, as it reminded me of the sea a bit more, but actually I may be mellowing in my age, and at 35 I really love the female version of Acqua de Gio.
Memories of it? In the staff bathroom at Boots there were always bottle of spray/ perfumes around for staff to use up. Whether packaging was damaged, tops broken or used as testers, there was never a shortage of smells - most handy when going out straight after work!
Acqua was the one I ended up using all the time. It reminds me of a time where I was in between stages in my life, and feeling ready to kick out, move off and escape. Maybe that's why I like it now, it's almost recapturing my youth, but still suits me now, even with my huge change in lifestyle
