Best Acqua Di Gio Dupes UK Compared: Luxaro Aquatic Citrus is our top pick for its Grasse manufacture, published 18% concentration, online ingredient list and included free 2ml sample.
Top pick: Aquatic Citrus
This comparison covers five selected sprays associated with the original men's Acqua di Giò. It excludes other versions such as Profumo and Profondo. It compares published buying information rather than measured scent similarity or wear time. The brands are separate businesses; no designer affiliation or endorsement is claimed.
Use the tables below to compare concentration statements, ingredients, samples and delivered prices. For the full fragrance description, scent notes, current availability and ordering, visit the Aquatic Citrus product page.

“Not found” refers to the product-page text checked in October 2026, not packaging or every possible source. “Not advertised” does not rule out occasional gifts. Notes and ingredient information are different: both Luxaro and Dossier publish information labelled as ingredients.
One bottle, standard UK mainland delivery, with no bundle, subscription or discount code. Four selected bottles are 50ml. The Essence Vault bottle is 30ml, so both the actual amount paid and the equivalent delivered cost per 50ml are shown.

| Brand | Normal bottle price | Standard delivery | Delivered total for selected bottle | Equivalent delivered cost: 50ml / 100ml | Luxaro higher or lower per 50ml |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luxaro | £29.00 (50ml) | £2.99, Royal Mail standard | £31.99 (50ml) | £31.99 / £63.98 | Our reference |
| Blossom Perfumery | £22.95 (50ml)* | £2.99, Royal Mail Tracked 48 | £25.94 (50ml)* | £25.94 / £51.88 | £6.05 higher* |
| Dossier | £29.00 (50ml) | £5.95 standard | £34.95 (50ml) | £34.95 / £69.90 | £2.96 lower |
| Perfume Parlour | £15.50 (50ml EDP Spray) | £4.00 standard | £19.50 (50ml) | £19.50 / £39.00 | £12.49 higher |
| The Essence Vault | £14.99 (30ml) | £2.45, Evri standard | £17.44 (30ml) | £29.07 / £58.13 | £2.92 higher |
Blossom's £22.95 is its published reference price for the selected variant. The comparison uses normal/reference prices rather than temporary offers. Current offers may change what you pay.
These are calculated totals from published information, not completed checkout quotations. Regional charges, availability and current offers may differ.
The 30ml bottle costs less to buy outright. After adjusting to the same volume, Luxaro is £2.92 higher per 50ml than The Essence Vault's selected 30ml option. Luxaro is £2.96 lower per 50ml than Dossier, and higher than Blossom and Perfume Parlour on this basis.
The Essence Vault also offers 100ml. Its checked £24.99 bottle plus £2.45 standard delivery totals £27.44, equivalent to £13.72 per 50ml. That larger bottle offers a lower unit cost than either selected 30ml or Luxaro's 50ml bottle. Check its website for current size options and prices.
Delivered total = bottle price + standard delivery. Equivalent delivered cost per 50ml = delivered total ÷ bottle volume × 50. The per-100ml equivalent uses the same calculation multiplied by 100. These equivalents are calculations, not claims that a brand sells the calculated bottle size.
The calculations round only the final figures to the nearest penny. They allocate the single delivery charge to the selected bottle and do not model buying multiple smaller bottles.
Aquatic Citrus combines made-in-Grasse manufacture with an ingredient list and an 18% concentration stated on its product page.
Try the included free 2ml sample before opening the main bottle. If the fragrance is not your choice, the sealed, unopened main bottle can be returned within 30 days under our refund policy.
Offers other bottle sizes, a paid sample and a lower reference-price delivered total. Its product terms permit two test sprays for a return, subject to conditions.
A relevant comparison because it publishes a product-specific percentage, ingredient information and French manufacture. Its normal returns policy permits used bottles, but the product page also contains a non-refundable notice. Confirm eligibility for the selected offer.
The selected EDP Spray has the lowest calculated 50ml delivered total here. It also offers other formats. Its dedicated returns policy includes used products, subject to conditions.
The 30ml size provides a smaller initial purchase, while its 100ml option offers a lower unit price. Its FAQ claims 20–25% for the core range, without establishing the individual figure for 311. Its returns terms permit a few test sprays, subject to conditions.

| Why we prefer Luxaro Aquatic Citrus | Where another option may suit you |
|---|---|
|
|
Our preference concerns these buying features. Manufacturing location and concentration alone do not establish better quality, closer similarity or longer wear. These percentages are published brand statements, not our laboratory measurements.
Aquatic Citrus publishes 18%; Aquatic Lime publishes 12%. The difference is 6 percentage points, calculated as 18 − 12. Both are sold as Eau de Parfum. This does not establish a wear-time or performance advantage.
No. Notes describe the intended scent impression, while an ingredient list gives different information about the product. Check the current list and packaging before choosing. Online publication is useful buying information, not a guarantee of skin suitability.
No. Its calculated 50ml delivered total is below Dossier's, while other selected options cost less. Our top pick reflects the combination of manufacture, disclosure and the included free 2ml sample.
Try the included free 2ml sample first. Keeping the main bottle unopened supports hygiene, product integrity and fairness to customers buying a full, unused bottle. Change-of-mind terms require it to remain sealed; statutory rights for faulty goods are separate. This does not imply anything about how another brand handles its returns.
Its UK FAQ states dispatch from Swindon. That identifies a fulfilment location; it does not establish UK company headquarters or UK fragrance manufacture.
The actual cash prices are useful for budgeting, but the bottles contain different volumes. Use the equivalent delivered cost per 50ml for the volume comparison, and check larger bottles separately.
Researched in October 2026 using the selected product pages, public variant prices, shipping policies and returns information. The selected products and bottle formats are named above. Unpublished percentages and missing online information are recorded as such rather than inferred.
