The Scoop
Sublime Epoque captures the fresh aromatic essence of Acqua di Gio Profumo quite well, with a convincing citrus-herbal opening and similar geranium-sage heart. However, the base feels slightly more synthetic and musky compared to the original's incense-driven depth, giving it a cleaner but less complex dry-down.
Key Differences
The clone leans slightly fresher and cleaner in the opening with added salt notes, while the original's incense and patchouli create a more sophisticated, warmer finish. Longevity and sillage are comparable, though the original has slightly better projection.

What wearers say
“Bright tuberose fragrance, youthful and shining. It's sweet and "open".Makes you smell like a "normal and happy" kind of girl, I understand not everyone wants to smell like that, but blending in in an unoffending way is exactly why I like wearing it to office.Amazing dupe for My Way, it smells the same!Great performance for it's price. I recommend wearing it for spring/summer and with nice weather.”
“Wow! Very well done! Sweet lightly lactonic tuberose, with candied orange flower and a slightly astringent musk. Really excellent dupe for My Way by Armani. Insane sillage, leaves a scent trail. Sprayed my pajama top last night, scent lasted through today, majorly long-lasting. Surprising for a Zara fragrance (especially with Jo Malone as the creator), but absolutely stunning, will work all year round.”
“A great dupe for My Way. I have both, but My Way is a bit more fruity than Sublime Epoque. Sillage and longevity is good, lasting more than 7 hours on my skin. Overall, a good dupe and a good fragrance.”
