Sky di Gioia Giorgio Armani for women

I bought a 50ml bottle secondhand somewhere in the Spring of 2019. There was already around 5-10ml missing and it was the old bottle: it did not have the gemstone cap yet. I finished my bottle today.

Extremely lovely scent. Very fresh, fruity with pink florals being the key players. This scent smells like how the color pink would smell. Not hot neon pink, but a soft pastel pink. Best suited for warmer weather aka Spring and Summer. Longlivity is a solid 6 hours and even with overspraying it still stays a pleasant close to the skin scent. I am sad I finished this bottle, since the scent is discontinued, but I have 300+ bottles left in my collection so its nice to finish up some older bottles :)

I usually really hate the smell of rose but it's quite nice here. The peony helps it a lot as well as the cedar. I did not pick up any fruit. got this as an engagement gift from my now husband and it's my favourite perfume so far (I don't like perfumes very much.) To me it gives a mature scent without smelling like a grandma.

This is one of those great shampoo smelling scents. Yes it isn't that mind blowing with the note selection but its still well done. For me, it's a great dumb reach for a feminine, youthful ,girly scent.

I envy people who can smell and depict all notes. Why is it that for me it´s too weak? What a shame.

This is a pretty, pretty princess of a scent. Light, airy, rosy, and fresh. The rose and peony combo gives me the feel of Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet, and the pear and litchi give a watery, fruitiness. I feel oh so pretty when I wear this fragrance.

Very fruity in the opening. Fresh fruity inoffensive!

Perfect for summer! It's beautiful! I get pear and lychee, tons of it. Then musky floral mostly peony! In scorching heat it smells heavenly! Gives a sophisticated clean girl vibe!

@FAIRSTAR it’s not on the US site either. There is Acqua di Gioia, Ocean di Gioia, Light di Gioia, and Terra di Gioia. Sephora only has Acqua di Gioia and Ocean Di Gioia on their US site right now. Might want to try googling to see if any perfume outlet stores in your country have it in stock.

I’m actually am not the biggest fan of litchi, but luckily in this fragrance the litchi is undetectable ( at least with my nose). I only pick up rose and musk.. not the greatest projection or longevity…. But still a pretty scent for simple days 🌸

Does anyone know if this perfume is discontinued? Can´t find anywhere in my country (EU), not even on Giorgio Armani website.

Fresh, pretty clean girl scent. It definitely has the original ADG dna but then swiftly moves into the rose-peony direction…

I like it but I don’t love it. The one I adore from this range is Air Di Gioia!

IMO the closest I've got to the first edition of Gucci Rush 2 - how I loved that perfume in the early 2000's - but sadly, the sillage is moderate - for those who remembered Gucci Rush 2, this would be something you may want to explore & experience..interested to know if anyone else has the same vibe :)

Very pretty fragrance. Inoffensive, light and fresh. Has that Acqua Di Gioia DNA behind it. Nothing groundbreaking. I can see myself reaching for it when I just want to give myself a break from heavy fragrances.

I enjoy this fragrance. It's light and playful. I smell mostly fruit, lots of the litchi fruit, the pear and the blackberry. I don't smell much of the of the rose, at least that's not what develops on my skin. I smell mainly the musk in the dry down.

I love this perfume. It’s fresh, light, and sweetly ozonic. I think the inspiration of sunrise over water is just about right. I get juicy blackberry and soft rose. I’ve worn it on smoky days and it made me feel like I was getting a whiff of fresh air. That translucent pink pebble of cap looks like how it smells.

My initial review of this was positive, and I don't have anything really negative to say about it but since I've had it in my collection for awhile now... Honestly I don't like it. I love my fresh, fruity, floral type scents but this seems like something I want to smell in a candle or am air fresheners, not a perfume. I only get lychee, rose, and musk. I personally don't pick up any of the other notes in this. It's a nice fragrance but I passed this onto my mother in law. My husband also didn't like it.

Why does no Dept store send anything that doesn’t feel either just sugary or teen-ish to me? Is that their target market these days? For me, maybe Barbie or a preteen would wear this, can you not pick up a body spray in any drugstore that would be similar but cheaper? I get no cedar at all. Mostly lychee and some peony, but too sheer and thin. I love my peony-scented poo-pourri better than this.
I did briefly detect an acqua vibe that seemed promising and fresh, but it never actually showed up. It’s just sheer and yet still sweet.
My skin can do weird things to a scent…. This one does not agree with my chemistry or nose. Then again, when I was a kid, I wore Lauren, so I have always leaned a little more green and a little less sweet - I think my skin has never been able to do sweet scents.
Well, like many things, can’t always depend on what someone is trying to market to you and that doesn’t mean something good isn’t out there, but it does often take some hunting and digging!
Also, there just seems to be a method from a certain era that I dislike, and I really wish I knew how to describe it or what it was, though I don’t believe it’s a particular note or set of them so much as a method, cause I smelled it for years on the first floor of Macy’s and it turned me off any new frag altogether for several years.
PS - got better with a little Tuscan Leather rubbed in on top…. Not too good, but better.

It has no depht. Its fresh and light but is missing something in my opinion

This has an aquatic note in it that ruins it for me. Why are all so many designer fragrance houses catering to the teeny boppers?? UGH!!!

I’ll start by saying this is so beautiful, and second I will say that coach poppy flower and DKNY fresh blossom are my signature scents(they both smell nearly identical) so this smells pretty much just like them so it’s special to me. This is office safe, great blind buy, great gift for a woman you know who likes light perfumes that smell fresh-this is it!! Love! I rock these all year because I find since it isn’t tropical fruity or summer specific/winter etc that it can easily be worn year round any time of day since it smells so fresh

Such a pretty scent
So refreshing, light yet still sweet and noticeable
This is what I wanted so many of my other rose scents to be, but they always ended up being weighed down with pepper or wood!
Keen to purchase this beauty

This is a nice girly safe fragrance but they could have added some pepper or green notes to balance out the almost jamminess of this scent. The notes are too simplistic but at least they didn't add patchouli or gourmand notes or this would have been incredibly generic and quite frankly unbearable! For such a short lived and plain scent the price point is way too high. Armani used to make such beautiful high quality scents! I truly miss sensi White notes, armani red and mania which is getting much rarer.

Some said it below but this really reminds me of daisy eau so fresh except without the grapefruit. I prefer this to the daisy esf but if you have one, you really don't need the other.

I’m pretty sad to write this review. I had anticipated this fragrance being just what I was looking for. (I’ve been searching for my perfect spring/summer rose scent) The notes sound absolutely perfect for me. Two things were disappointing about the testing of this one for me. The first being that the scent I get when smelling this on a tester is completely different than it shows up on my skin. On paper tester I can smell a delicious burst of juicy pear and litchi. It’s heavenly! But on my skin no matter how much I spritz, I only smell rose and peony. I love rose and peony! But knowing that there is a delicious fruity burst inside the bottle that will not show up on my skin is so disappointing. The second problem is that although it’s lovely on my skin...it also lasts less than an hour to my nose. I’m a huge fan of the di Gioia line and they all last very well on me but not this one. I really can’t justify buying this one. I had really thought I might.

I love this fragrance after the aqua di gioia! Fresh, fruity floral and feminine. Not ground breaking, but very underrated. I had to update this because I wasn't into notes and dissecting the fragrance when I found this and made it one of my favorites. All of the notes listed are perfectly blended in a sweet and beautiful way. Lychee keeps it from being too sharp and headache inducing, peony and rose keep it warm weather fresh.

Sky Di gioia
Summer test, skin.

I tried this twice and sheesh the opening is horrible, it’s that Dewey, thick, nauseating rounded smell.

After you don’t wash it off, you’ll get a nicer dewey, clean, cool floral. It’s nit like anything I can put my finger on, I think it’s abuot as ‘wet’ as orig Di gioia is thuogh not the same scent.

Ok so the fruit isn’t fruity, this is fresh and cool, I don’t get rose like I do with a rosey frag, florals, and a bit tropical yes I guess that’s about accurate.

Hmmm, on me it’s a bit ‘branchy’ at the moment, I could layer it with be tempted eau so blush and get a real woody scent out of it. I have that one on the other wrist.

Cool, dew, branch, maybe a leaf or two in the floral ... no specific floral.

EDIT: in the semi soft sillage I get a slightly sweet powdery floral which is really pretty, over all now fresh gentle.
Not linear. At all.

I keep sniffing this from the test strip and the bottle in Kohl's. It really grabs me more so than any of the others it sits alongside.

Next time I will have to try on my skin. It wouldn't have competed well with Jovan Woman that I wore today.

I'm a big fan and I own the original Armani Acqua di Gio femme and this kinda sorta smelled along those lines. It smells like it would be a great spring/summer fragrance.

This is Versace Bright Crystal without the intense musk. This one is a fresher, lighter version, more appropriate for summer.

After spraying: similar with Acqua di Gioia + some flowers.
After 30 minutes (till now): peony + something airy + raspberry notes create light fragrance, it could be one of Tommy Girl Summers. Maybe it is more soapy and sweet. For one minute I can scent even fruity bubble gum. Nice. Better than Acqua di Gioia.

I did not expect much of Sky di Gioia after reading some of the reviews here. But.. I love it. I love uncomplicated, feminine, mood lifting, light office-friendly scents and this is one of them.
Very different from Light di Gioia, which I already have.
Light is about gardenia, Sky is about rose and litchi.
This is beautiful and also a safe gift for someone who loves fruity florals that aren't too sweet and fruity.

I don't understand:people make summer fragrance, which doesn't stay more than 2 hours in a temperature over 30 celsius, but now at autumn it is long lasting and I can detect more facets.

I agree with other reviewers about this fragrance being lackluster. I would describe it as a simple, late/spring floral with very little depth and quickly dissipating sillage. It is heavy on the peony, rose, and pear. I did not get any other notes. Once it dried down, it reminded me of Amazing Grace. It isn't unpleasant, but it isn't a keeper.

The Sun edition was far superior in depth, complexity and personality.

This is a nice summer perfume. Fresh and fruity, wakes you sweetly up with its first spray. However does not last long and lacks in sillage, as it is hardly noticeable from others. Its bottle is simple and girlie.

i love lychee and rose
But this is not a well done combo
Peony is indeed the prominent note
smells like certain Japanese shampoos
still very nice, not offensive at all but nothing that stands out...

Ehhhh..wanted something light and inoffensive for work, and it is, but it's kind of boring. I like it but not love. I had gone in with the intention of getting aqua di gioia and after smelling sky and sun, I decided to go with sky cause it seemed lighter and sweeter.
Its a light clean fruity floral, agreed it's nothing special but you'll smell nice. Kinda wish I would have gone with the aqua tho, not disappointed but mehhh.

Edit: Having worn this several more times and testing some other fruity summer florals, I actually think this is pretty good. It stays fresh fruity aquatic for around 6ish hours, which I'm realizing in testing seems to be pretty good for these types of scents. Makes me feel purty. Lol

It starts of as a sweet floral, but becomes rather sour after an hour. Nothing special, but good for warm weather.

These rosy scents are all over. Nothing special. The rose lychee combos are everywhere.

Pleasant, fresh scent for the hot weather, in one direction with CD Blooming Bouquet EDT... The price difference is big, but this smell is not inferior to the first ... A gentle peony echoes with lychee, to my joy I don’t feel any rose, everything is fixed with white musk it's not annoying, but gives something special to the scent, so that it would not be just flowery water ... I definitely like it, it will not suffocate in the heat and will not be gone in a few minutes

I have made several attempts to try this one. Each one of which failed. This scent is just simply boring. Really, no story, just blends in a sea of other non-memorable scents.

It is very linear, peony/rose. I do not detect any of litchi, blackberry (I had hopes for this one), patchouli. I like peony otherwise, but this scent lacks depth and staying power. It could easily be called body spray.

Reminds me a bit of Guerlain Insolence (not to underestimate Guerlain, but similar vibe).

I expected more from Armani...

Sweet, fruity & juicy! It’s very uninteresting but it’s a pretty, girly, light scent. Perfect for the office.

So catchy notes pyramide!

My hopes were on litchi, blackberry and peony. Actually, they failed. This fragrance is light and fruity floral, but not charming enough, imho.

With such notes, it could be more charming than fresh.

I reviewed this last year, but really never got around to trying it out much (I have so many fragrances in roller ball and sample sizes it's ridiculous, but that's another story LOL). Anyway, this juice definitely needs heat to smell good because when I put it on in my office (which was freezing due to the AC blasting away even though the morning temps are in the high 60's right now), the lychee came across as stale, sour and almost kiwi scented--highly unpleasant on my skin at first in that coldness. I thought the roller ball may have gone bad in the year that I've had it and that I was going to have to scrub it off, but then I went out to lunch and that 90 degree heat coupled with the sun on my skin dried this down into something quite nice. The lychee turned moderately sweet instead of staying stale and strangely sour and now there is a nice pinkish musk lingering on my skin. I can see that this would not do well in cooler or cold temperatures, so I'm going to be using it this summer a lot more frequently.

If you like pink scents , this is wonderful . What I mean by pink ? Scents that are girly girly in a traditional way . This is like a more mature Babydoll. It has peonies which are sweet ( and peonies most of the time smell green on me, but not here ) , and lychees ( juicy and tropical )and pears . It’s succulent. The combination of fruit and peony at some points almost smells like the wine drenched roses in A.G Ce soir ou Jamais, or Ineke’s Briar Rose. But this is just a hint of impression, it is not like those . Although it is very fruity and quite sweet it doesn’t cross into the Escada territory.
A very pleasant scent for young ladies and those who like fruity florals. It’s rather expensive and not discounted anywhere yet , or I would recommend it whole heartedly.
By the way, zero Patchouli or vanilla.
Lasting power and silage are barely average .
The juice is rose colour and pretty .

Peony, lychee and a pink rose is what I can sense in this. The other notes may be there, but just supporting these other three. It smells like a lot of other perfumes out there, but it's very versatile! It's not too strong and not too weak. I think it can work in both warm and cold weather, but I see this mainly as a spring and summer perfume for everyday use. It's fruity but not sugary sweet, it's more fresh.
Pink, happy and flirty. Simple but good!

I used to love the Acqua Di Gioia Intense because of its extraordinary lasting and great sillage, but I'm not really a heavy floral scent lover specially Jasmine. If its like just mild soft Jasmine that stands at the back to support other notes yeah that's fine with me. But Acqua Di Gioia Intense fuhhh the Jasmine stand right there at the front row refusing to settle at the background and it makes me almost suffocate which one of the reason I only brave enough to wear just one spray Acqua Di Gioia Intense per wear each time I feel like I want t wear it.

But this Oh my my, the main reason I in love with Acqua Di Gioia line is because of the fresh sweetness scent it possessed. But Jasmine gets in the way.

I tested this perfume 3 days ago and I was puzzled a little. I was like hey I like this one, its much more bearable and more smooth and the sweetness oh my god.

And now here I am checking this perfume notes and ahaa !!! Now I know why I love this instantly. Its because of the Jasmine was remove from the notes. I am so going to get this one.

I enjoy this, but probably not enough to buy it.

I sprayed the sample I have on a piece of paper, so results may vary if you spray this on your clothes. At first sniff, there is this strong rose with peony and lychee rising at it's side. My eyes widened when I first smelled this as I am used to softer scents. But, do not get me wrong. This isn't a bad perfume. In fact, I feel pretty neutral about it.

In its dry down though, it tends to smell as strong as it did when it was first sprayed. I sort of wish that it softened up a little bit as it didn't seem to change very much due to that. It's just a small nitpick on my part, really. I usually don't like designating a scent to a specific season but this seems to be a fall or winter scent.

Why?

Because I have feeling with how strong this is (or can get), it would probably become cloying and/or headache inducing in hot weather. At least that's my opinion.

sweet fruity pink
Reminds me of a scented rubber from my childhood
Good lasting power for a floral fruity as it's an eau de perfume

Sky di Gioio is a beautiful, ethereal fragrance. Very light, and airy. Nothing complex. I get mostly peony. It sits close to the skin and doesn't have great longevity but some perfumes aren't meant to make a huge statement. Some are soft and incredibly feminine.

Despite it's lightness, this is a quality fragrance. I love the simplistic design of those bottles, sometimes less is more. A great perfume for spring and summer.

After my affair with acqua di gioia eau de toilette, I wanted to revisit this line of dolce&gabanna's scents. I recently bought both the original acqua di gioia and it's flanker Sky di Gioia at roughly the same time.
The main olfactory difference between the two is the peony and litchi in Sky, and mint and sugar in the Acqua. I pretty much blind bought Sky since I took a whiff of this at a sephora too long ago for my nosebuds to recall. Now that I have it, I would say it isn't different enough for me to have bought both the original and this one. This is more of a floral take on the original mojito-like frag. I was excited about the litchi as it's one of my favourite fruits but it very much takes a supporting role here. With that said, it's presence is more noticeable on the dry down rather than in the initial moments. Sky is still somewhat sugary like the original Acqua but its dry down is almost indistinguishably differentiated by the peony, slight litchi, and less present citrus.
Longevity is moderate, sillage is moderate. This wearable slightly sugary pink floral can be worn all year round as I feel the colder months pull more of the cool-weather-appropriate base notes (black currant adds an unexpected depth).I prefer the Acqua di Gioia over this since it has a bit more uniqueness from its mojito-like (mint,citrus+sugar) personality compared to the commonly used peony note in Sky.
I'd say there are better peony frags out there but this is an unobtrusive, pleasant variant.

Fruity with synthetic perfumery candy blue. Airy, bit fresh, fruity tropical and sweet. It's like you stand on high mountain and look down at beautiful tropical yummi view. Spring and summer perfume. Overall office safe, but this perfume isn't too serious so be sure what you want 'tell' with your perfume choice to people around you. It would rather fit summery dress and some tropical cocktail. Reminds teen-ish perfumes. For teen and young woman. It little bit makes me sneeze, I don't know why.

Refreshing! So light and youthful but not in a cheapie way! I love this, very easy to wear, too. Inoffensive. Happy. Delicate.

I am all for complex scents and night time mysterious seductress, but I also love a daytime, summer day at the tennis court or hanging out with friends by the pool scent.

This smells like the aqua di gioia only better. It's young, fresh, flirty, and a little rebelious. I just love this stuff

I don't know why I have grown so attached to this one. It has a generic name and the peony/lychee combo has been done to death, but Sky is a very well blended concoction of sweet fruits and pink florals. Its not overly sweet and the projection is just right. I am going back for a second bottle as soon as mine is done.

This is a tart, juicy, charming pink fragrance. The litchi is prominent. The ingredients are minimal, resulting in a fragrance that is not overly complex.

I am at the airport right now and just bought a bottle of this at Duty Free. Jesus! What beautiful, otherworldy scent!

This one doesn't smell like a woman; it smells like a vision. Like the sky. Like an element.

Usually, fragrances for women are associated with a specific female persona: i.e. "confident and enigmatic", "feminine and poignant", "sexy and alluring", "sophisticated and elegant". And when you buy a fragrance like that, you embody that persona. With Sky, you don't have those associations and connotations. You're a natural phenomenon. And a beautiful one, at that!

I love the smell of lychee, blackcurrant and pear. Just so happens this one brings together all of my favs! But then it's still warm and strong at the same time, thanks to the wood and musk. Just like the dawn sky: sparkling but bringing a promise of warmth!!

I hope nobody else ever buys it; I want this to be mine mine mine!!!!!

I like Armani and Im always curious about the new creations. I bought this one during the summer and used it very often. It´s already autumn, and now that I picked out the bottle again from my collection, and smelled in it, remembered all the fun part of this summer. Lovely memories and this light, sexy scent helped me to avoce them. I felt it longer on my skin, even during the hot, seaty summer days :)

This smells nice. Nice is about it. I sprayed this on my skin and although I liked the scent, it was just okay. It's definitely very youthful. Kind of like those little notes that read "do you like me? Check yes or no" Yes. I do like you. Lol. I like the fruity-floral aspect of it, but it lacked complexity for it to Wow me. I could see this in a body spray for spring and summer. In order for me to purchase a fragrance, it has to call my name and literally say, "Take me home with you, or you will regret it" ...this didn't.

Nothing unique about this. Smells like a generic floral. It is ok but forgettable. Not a fan of the current flankers. The original Acqua is iconic and stands out from the crowd. If you're looking for just a safe floral then you might want to try it but there's better fragrances in the market.

Wow. Talk about a drink from the fountain of youth. I feel 20 yrs younger in the best way possible

Smelled this on me today as a test. I really like it. It's soft, fresh and feminine. Smells like the color in the bottle - pink. Light and pretty. might have to buy this one day...
I like Sun DG as well. Do not like the blue Sky however.

I blind bought this on reviews and that people said it was similar to my favourite Gucci Envy Me.
I can definitely see the resemblances to Envy Me but I think it smells more like Daisy Eau So Fresh, which I also like.
It's very feminine, rosey, sweet, light - everything I love in a scent. I love it!!

Sky Di Gioia and Jimmy Choo L'eau are best friends, hanging out together on a fluffy light pink peony laced cloud, harmlessly giggling and gossiping about those heavy hitters filling the air with voluminous white florals or oriental spices and resins. Sky comes across just a bit fresher than L'eau, but both have three main notes in common (peony, cedar and musk) that I find them nicely interchangeable and both worth owning, at least in rollerball format to play mix and match with on hot summer days spent indoors in an office where the air circulation is prohibitive to spices, resins and in-your-face white florals.

very fresh, extremly similar to other fragrances, i mean.. nothing *new* but it smells good!

It is a light fresh peony perfume, feminine, springlike, but I didn't think it was great..
Like not one I need to have...now if you enjoy peony, this is a pleasant version,..not much to say really, nice scent, but not an extraordinary flanker in my opinion...could easily be a Bath and Body works scent

I always liked original Gioia edp and fraiche was good too. other versions released last year were awful. they had good idea but terrible execution. i was really hoping sky would be much better. it is better but still meh... what is going on with armani? they went downhill ... I mean they had some cult classics like Emporio she, Mania, Sensi... what is this now? I am so disappointed with this brand I used to wear and love so much. Sky is girly pink scent, with good silage and longer than I expected longevity. The longer it was on skin the less I liked it. I ordered it online without trying so i highly suggest trying it first on your skin let it sit there for couple of hours before you decide. To sum it up - save your money (for something else)

I decided to spray some on in store to try out. As a teenager, I loved my original ladies Acqua di Gio and this brought back a nice memory of that scent. It's like a nicely updated, more modern version of an old favourite. Having compared the notes between the two scents, I can definitely say the peony and musk have a strong presence. I don't typically consider musky smells very summery but this is definitely a daytime, summer scent. It has a very watery, beachy quality about it that all of the "di Gio/Gioia" scents seem to have. The litchi and pear are a nice touch, making it a bit more fresh and fruity. Although I don't think the scent suits me very much, I do enjoy smelling it. It's not overpowering on the senses.

There is a vibe from the original Di Gioia fragrance and that makes this smell so interesting. It's soft, airy, lightly sweet. The beginning is rather fruity but the fruits are fading within an hour. After that appears a wonderful smell of pretty soft roses and hints of wood. Feels like standing at the edge of a deep wood, catching sunbeams and taking a deep breath fresh air.
Good mood scent all year round. Longevity and sillage could be better, hoping for an Intense version to come.

Stumbled upon this at shoppers drug mart, the tester that is lol I would never pay full retail of a brand new perfume, way too expensive lol Anywho. ...this is beautiful. What a gorgeous girly summer scent. It's fresh without being soapy, it's light without being non existant, over all a really good find.

Perfect addition to this series of fragrances! I have not seen it in the US yet, but was lucky to come across it while on vacation in the Czech Republic. This shares the same essence as the other Gioias, but has a more fruity-fresh feeling to it, highlighted by the litchi and pear. It is surprisingly not too sweet like many litchi scents can be. Not cloying, sticks somewhat close to the skin, but pretty good longevity. I didn't buy it on the spot, but may just have to in the near future!

Where are you all smelling / buying this? I didn't think it was out yet...what store? Thanks!

Love love love this fragrance. Its safe for daytime and work. Good quality, sillage and longevity long and moderate. Mainly spring summer, but I would wear it all year.

Nice tropical scent, litchi, rose and peony mix. Something is 'too much' for me though. Or maybe it's just not fresh enough.

I'm in love again! <3 =D This is sooo refreshing, Spring time out of the window. Airy.. and this litchi wow, it's not it would add that sickly sweet note but the fresh instead. Okay only a tiny bit sweetened up by the pear-litchi combo ;) Both refreshing and sweet fruits. I'm amazed. Will try it out for longevity and sillage.
Peony and Rose lovers, try it out!

I love the marketing of those perfumes. The bottle, the name and scent's simplicity are the things I like about it.
It's airy and fresh, a peony scent.
Very likable everyday fragrance.
Reminds me of a scent of some facial tonic.
I would wear it, it's nice, a great one for spring and summer.
