I'm down to the dregs of my last bit of Aqua di gio now they've stopped making it. Please suggest something light and not musky as my new signature scent.

I hate aqua do gioa which replaced it, I think it smells sickly and like pineapple impulse.

I used love Marc by Marc Jacobs but post babies my skin chemistry must have changed as it's strong and missing the powdery dry down smell I used love. I also used like green tea by Elizabeth Arden but I haven't seen it for ages either. Any ideas?

I'm not sure but they stopped making it two years ago. I bought a bottle off Amazon and it had gone off. My current bottle was the last one in Heathrow duty free

I think I remember seeing a bottle when I was shopping recently - i noticed it as my friend has the same problem as you. It might be worth a try. It shouldn't go off as long as it's stored in the box.

and to answer your actual question (sorry) there is a "this perfume reminds me of" section if you scroll down:

I also loved the original Aqua di Gio, try Dolce and Gabannas Light Blue or Versace Bright Crystal, both light and fresh and really lovely.

I sometimes wear Pivoine Flora by L'Occitane and it reminds me of Aqua di Gio.

Noooooo! They stopped Aqua I'd Gio? That's been my signature perfume since I was 14. I've not bought a bottle for a while as I've had a few as gifts but I'm running low and was thinking I needed to get a bottle. Making notes of the suggestions here, thanks.
