Acqua di Giò Profondo (the 2020 base EDP) is a dark, cool aquatic — mineral marine and bergamot over rosemary, cypress and a musky woody drydown — and the clone conversation is dominated by two Middle-Eastern budget houses. Lattafa Liam Blue Shine is the pick cited most often as carrying the Profondo DNA (several reviewers call it near-identical to the nose, the original just a touch saltier/more marine), and Maison Alhambra's aptly named Jorge di Profondo is the runner-up, consistently praised for capturing the cool deep-ocean mineral character on a tighter budget. Both are genuinely deep clones scent-wise; the recurring, honest caveat across threads is weak longevity — both fade far faster than the original, so they read as inexpensive same-vibe alternatives rather than performance-for-performance replacements. Skinsort-style ingredient-match lists surface designer neighbors (YSL L'Homme Le Parfum) but those are not budget clones and are excluded.
