Sensi

Finding this discontinued baby was a difficult mission and there was no choice but grabbing the first and only bottle I found after days of searching,ofcourse without even a sniff.it's notes are so promising also reviews encouraged me so I felt like I need to have it in my collection To be honest,it's not as unique as I thought,ofcourse it IS unique,but not that wired thing I've built in my mind,so the golden question is:am I happy with my 3.4 Oz bottle of sensi which costed 100 bucks for me?yes,100%,I loooove it! Sensi is one of the creamiest scents I've tested till now,soft,smooth and rounded,being this much creamy is enough for me to love a scent,but there is more going on here I don't really like it's opening.I can't detect lime or any thing citrusy/fruity.it has a dough-like texture and smells like a non-sweet dough used to bake a bread.I don't dislike this aroma but I don't like it as a perfume also it's too much creamy/doughy quality feels too much but this dough-smell is replaced in less than half an hour with a floral heaven black locust is a lovely flower which covered the yard of our old house,where I lived 15 years ago,it smells like my childhood,those carefree,good old days,I always asked myself why such a lovely flower is not used much in perfumes(also a flower called ice flower in my mother tongue,which I love and I wonder always why they don't use such a lovely smelling flower in fragrances?!!).. So,armani sensi turns to a lovely black locust-jasmine heaven for me,it I wondered how wheat is going to smell in a perfume,for me,it smells like bread dough in initial phase but when sensi's floral heart blooms,wheat begins to smell like bread,a special almondy bread which my granny used to bake and I died for it as a child,my goodness, sensi is pure nostalgia,ofcourse not for everyone,but it is definitely for a Persian girl like me,though you don't need to be a Persian girl to enjoy this soft,gorgeous creamy combination of white florals(jasmine and black locust),newly cooked,warm,almondy,non sweet vanilla bread and a deep balmy woody base of benzoin and subtle palisander wood .palisander is usually too dry or overpowering on my skin and covers all the other notes,but not here.in sensi it looks like a combination of benzoin, palusander,sandalwood and vanilla There is nothing weird,loud,flashy and exceptional in sensi,it's unique in a simple,gourgeoys way..it's addictive,smooth,soft powdery,almondy,very sensual also innocent,comforting,warm and golden like sun warmth wrapping you,beautiful and amazing in a simple natural way,like good old days,like childhood,but don't misunderstand me,there is nothing old in sensi,it's a very modern white floral,powdery almond,vanilla combo,it's delicious but not really sweet.. Sensi is not a classic but there is nothing like it(at least I don't know one)..I can't understand discontinue policy but I know that it's not dated and could be sold a lot..if you like creamy,powdery scents don't miss it if you find one..it's wearable year round but I like it more in sunny but cool days,I love it in autumn more,it's long lasting,stays close the skin but also is noticeable I love,love,loooove this smooth,cuddly,original scent.it's so well blended and creamy white florals are so well grounded by warm,creamy-powdery notes that I know a lot of white floral haters who love sensi.now I can understand why a lot of people love it,I can't say I love it head to heals as it's top notes don't go well with my chemistry but it's lovely drydown worthes waiting. It's definitely signature scent material and isn't replaceable (at least I never came across something similar).I'm glad that I had the opportunity to experience it ❤❤❤❤

Be forewarned: An Ebay seller is trying to resell this batch code (UY132), which I had won in a bid, but had to open up an Ebay dispute to recoup my money and return this bottle, which the seller claimed I had not received from them. I felt the contents of this bottle had either gone off or had been diluted due to the overwhelming stench of what to me smelled like perfumers alcohol and barely a trace of scent to sense after less than 15 minutes after application to skin. I have had Sensi a few years back so recall what this perfume should have smelled like, so was very disappointed in this purchase. Apologize for the rant, but felt the need to do so, because close to $100 is too much to waste on something you are not expecting to receive. I have now acquired another bottle, which smells exactly as it should (batch code UY262), and it is beautiful and lovely as I remembered. As @Sicily has mentioned above, this too reminds me of the powderiness found in Armani Code (femme version). I notice it getting towards the dry down. It has a lovely, feminine nuance and although the sprayer leaks a bit (have to be careful), I would love to keep this scent around for days when I want a scent to make me feel upbeat, yet calming, ready for just about anything life might throw your way. The lime note I believe I do detect; it is sharp as part of the introduction of the beginning notes. FramesI acacia is also part of this introduction. Acacia brings me to mind the acacia wood mentioned in the Holy Bible, which was used in the construction of the Ark of the Covenant, which was the repository of the Ten Commandments and also used by King Solomon, son of King David, of the bloodline of JESUS CHRIST, who built a beautiful temple to honor THE MOST HIGH GOD. How wonderful the aroma of these two things must have smelled! For me, the inclusion of acacia, will also remind me of the reverence of holy things dedicated to GOD. There is no more I want to add to my description of this perfume. I believe I have said as much as need be said.

I actually wrote a review under the name seraching4scent many years ago but managed to get a decant of the original after using scent oils. I still am in love with this beautiful scent and despite saying goodbye and exploring new scents I will forever miss this one. This was my signature scent around 2004 ish and the smell became known as me. It was a comforting, semi sweet, powdery innocent scent but with a hint of sexuality. I wore it to work as well as on a date, what I class as an all rounder, a classic. Upon receiving my decant this week I couldn't wait to be reminded of my favorite scent and it did not disappoint. After all these years, it is still the creamy powdery soft scent that I remember and long for. My only gripe is that my decant is only 5ml so will be gone again in a flash. What I would say is I have recently come across a scent of a similar vibe (to me) please note I said vibe! It is not the same but may dull the void that the discontinuation has left. Bearing in mind that I only have a 1.5ml vial and the notes read different but Trusardi My Name has a similar comforting creamy vibe about it and reminds me of Sensi and will definitely be on my Christmas list! Of course, when I come across the original Sensi at a sensible price I will again stock up. One thing this has taught me as a newbie to the intricacies of perfume is to never take a scent for granted as it may not always be around, if you are in love with a fragrance as I am/was with Sensi make sure its always on your gift list!

This will always remind me of Australia. I bought it at duty free on my way to spend 3 months there and travel up and down the coast. This beautiful perfume served me well. It was summer there and this was gorgeous~it still is right now in the snow. This is sparkling and warm all at the same time. The Kaffir Lime adds a tangy almost fizz to a creamy wonder of a scent. It would be easy to pass this off as common as you read the notes~but that would be a mistake. I have never found another like Sensi~and I have roughly 150 perfumes, mostly niche. This starts off as I said, with a sparkling almost aldehydic nuance to it. That snap stays with it throughout, however it is tempured by the gorgeous benzoin, rosewood, and wheat. I'm guessing that the black locust adds something that most of us are missing in our descriptions of Sensi. There is a musky edge to this as well as a sense of vanilla....I don't actually smell vanilla so much as feel it. It has that kind of warmth and comfort. I believe the almond~one of my favorite notes~has cloaked itself in a vanilla costume. I think that's what a lot of us are taking as vanilla. The jasmine has been placed very cleverly in this composition. It does not stand out but this would be an entirely different offering without it.It's most certainly there subtly holding this perfume up. Sensi is also sexy as hell and is an easy day into night scent. Longevity is about 8 hours on me~sillage is a strong medium~ and allure~well she's irresistable of course!

Sensi...oh gosh. I miss this fragrance. Given that it’s been out of production so long, I’m sure most remaining bottles circulating have lost their vavoom (also a 90’s- early 2000’s throw back, but a nod to haircare) I remember I had 2 signature scents in high school. Allure by Chanel and GA sensi. Each fall I would go to the perfume counter at my local Kaufman’s dept store and fork over the cost of the largest bottles they had. Even from that age I would spray myself head to toe (literally guys..I sprayed my feet). While I was far too inexperienced to pick out notes, I remember how clean, and cozy, and consuming this fragrance was. Like the arms of your sweater had a sweet smell of almond cashmere. The bright top note of lime allowed this to stand off your clothing and created a magical aura. As you got closer to the source, your skin, it warmed and hinted at a powdery fuzzy smelling almond. The closest I’ve come to recreating the scent is YSL cinema- though ysl is sweeter and the vanilla inhibits it from being as airy and clean as Sensi. But close enough to reminisce. Then bath and body works exploded on the scene and I lost fifteen years of my life. Should you find a bottle of sensi, or substitute with a bottle of ysl cinema- from personal experience, fall/winter make these fragrances come alive. If you try in heat, you’ll be disappointed, or at the very least, underwhelmed.

Such a gorgeous oriental scent! This reminds me of a style of perfume that they rarely make in the current times, which is very disappointing. I have a very concentrated bottle of this perfume and i remember when i first tried it on, it was such a surprise. I was not a fan of it at first, as i felt it was too strong upon the initial spray. But then the scent rapidly started changing, unfolding, as layer after layer of the basic notes revealed themselves. And what a surprise it became! It revealed warm, milky, kashmir-like notes that reminded me of a sort of vaguely sensual, mildly sweet, but womanly and sophisticated powder. While it is a warm and kashmir type of fragrance, i do not think that it falls under the warm AND spicy label. There's nothing strong or peppery about it. I'd say that it's the type of warmth that just falls short of being sexy. It's more soothing. Think love instead of sex. Since i have a pretty concentrated version, it always lasts a long time on me and the sillage is great. Anyway, it's a true shame that they discontinued this one. It seems like all of the ones worth keeping around get discontinued at some point. But if you can get your hands on it from online sites, i'd highly recommend it. If you like fragrances like Kenzo's Flower , then you will absolutely love this one.

Wow, (having just perused yo' reviews) was not aware that this one turns easily. I've got a nearly full bottle that I use only ever so often when the mood takes me, or weather permitting. Today it's cold but there's a touch of sunshine trying to let itself be known for the spring, so whole I was arranging some scents on my shelf for this time of year, I picked out this to wear. To be honest, when I first sprayed it on it really didn't smell as I'd remembered, though from the bottle itself it smelled normal, once sprayed it smelled odd. This thankfully passed and dissipated within only a few seconds and my scent is not bad, has not turned, but I'm worried now to see this one might befall the fate of eventually turning stinky. It's such a great almond based floral. I actually smell most the almond and the lime, maybe even what's claimed as wheat. It's very savoury sweet. Burberry Brit is similar (along with YSL cinema, though that's much woodier) though that's leaning heavily in the amber-vanilla territory, by comparison, this does bring that to mind, if people are looking for similar fragrances.

Bring back Sensi please Armani! I assure you it will sell because I will stock pile it! Update: Yay! I was gifted a very large decant and I am so excited. For anyone who loves Sensi and is not going to pay $200+ I encourage you to seek out a "dupe" or "type" perfume oil from an online retailer as those are the closest to Sensi I have found; you can get spray bottles or dab on's. I don't care what anyone says, I have not yet to find a perfume that smelled like this. Yes, there are many perfumes in this same genre as mentioned in this page, but none that can provide me with the core of Sensi, it's signature, it's soul! Try the "types" , trust me. Thank you sooooooo much Belle De Sud!!!!! 2013:Unlike my other discontinued favorite, Givenchy Organza Indecence, Armani Sensi has absolutely NO like substitutes, even minor ones (smells NOTHING like Jasmin Noir, seriously? and it has very very minor similarities to Cinema, but has no likeness to it). But, for a good dupe, try thefragranceshop. It is almost identical to the aged bottle I have.

I LOVE deeply sensual perfumes. I don't differentiate between night and day. Work/play. Just seasonally. I switch off between three currently. Unfortunately, one of them, Sensi, has been discontinued. Sensi for me, was a beautiful, Soft, floral oriental that was Perfect for summer. Still sensuous without being too overpowering for the heat. But I seem to lose all the perfumes I love or they get changed so dramatically that they may as well have been discontinued. Which is EXACTLY what happened with Sensi. I LOVED, still LOVE this scent. I am bitter that it's been discontinued. I am down to my last bottle and sadly, I've been looking this long for a replacement with still no success. I am INCREDIBLY PICKY and WEIRD when it comes to fragrance. I still want something close to a signature scent but I do change based on season. Sensi was my summer fragrance. I'm still debating whether to only wear it on special occassions or lose my remaining bottle to this coming summer. I KNOW they don't listen but PLEASE bring Sensi back! ~ Alexiata

I just love this. I am distressed that this is discontinued. Just got a full bottle of it. It is feminine (but not 'girly'). It is good for almost any time of the year (summer days, it may be too strong, but summer nights, spring, autumn, winter... perfect). I do see what people are saying about the 'diaper' smell. But that is only on first spray, and only lasts a couple of minutes. It is, otherwise, powdery and pretty. Mature, yet youthful. Very classy. Strong and loud, yet soft and gentle. Sillage is not so much as it fills a room, like my darling White Diamonds, but you still make a statement as you walk past people. This is the scent of a woman. Whether she is dressed to the nines, or dressed in trackies and a tee. It works. And I want more. *cry* So sad that I have to be conservative with this. If you find a bottle of this, grab it. If you're disappointed, find somebody who loves it. Really loves it. Gift it, sell it, whatever. That Sensi Lover will appreciate it. I know I would!

How I would love to get my hands on a kaffir lime! Sensi is one of those scents with the rice/PlayDoh/milky/almond note, my first, and I am always in search of more. Who knew lime and almond could smell so good together. Long ago, I sprayed various scents on at the department store counter and kept smelling one but forgot which it was. I had to go back to the store to put the name to the intoxicating scent. I really should have stocked up back then. This scent seems easy for oil dupe companies to replicate. I use Hayward with success and see another mentioned here I would love to try. I wish Oil Perfumery would do it, but I don't think they do discontinued scents. Scents I have loved due to some similarity to Sensi: Cinema d'Ete & Cinema Festival. Regular Cinema is a little too smoky, but the summer versions add citrus. Please suggest more! Scents with the PlayDoh note: Jennifer Aniston Chapter One, Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Love's Baby Soft. Please tell me more.

One of the best fragrances I have ever smelled! I first smelled it in Japan when it first launched, and thought it was a unisex fragrance. It's the finest fragrance to ever come out from the Armani house. It's original, a classic and timeless scent that you'll always remember. I plan to purchase a small bottle for myself. I never buy female fragrances, but this is an exception. I hope Armani will create another fragrance like this in the future, because they will sell so much! This is a fragrance that a REAL woman should have. It's very sexy, and a big turn-on for me. I'm still hoping for a flanker for this scent, so I can buy for my wife. A scent to wear around a loved one, so it's not recommended to be worn as a signature scent or everyday. It's quite strong, and can be a bit too much if over sprayed. Age group: 21+ 3-4 sprays max Climate: Fall, Winter Sillage: 4 stars Versatility: 2 stars Smell: 5 stars Overall: 4.5 stars

I got it as a gift - and at that first time I wasn't too impressed with it.. but when I started using it - I felt in love. This was my signature fragrance and many people were asking me what I am wearing - as it wasn't very popular. But Giorgio Armani broke my heart. This scent has been discontinued and almost impossible to get nowadays. Two years ago I found it in a little fragrance store in Athens, but I didn't have a credit card with me - and this is my biggest regret from the holidays. I once bought the bottle from Amazon - but I got a fake - luckly the seller accepted the return. So beware, while buying online. I still have an original bottle with a little of the perfume on the bottom - just to keep the memory alive. I also own Sensi White Notes, but it is not the same.. Shame on you Giorgio Armani to take away something I loved.

EDIT - I have a partial bottle arriving tomorrow! Can’t wait to smell this again sB see if it’s what I remember This was my second designer fragrance that I had bought with my own money, when i was in my early 20's. It was way too sophisticated for me at the time but I did also buy Chanel Allure as my first ever designer/luxury perfume. So you can see where my tastes lie - I like sophisticated, mature scents. I still do but i also love a lot of other scent DNAs as well. I remember that Sensi made me feel grown up and like I knew what i was doing as I navigated through early adulthood. Wearing Sensi, gave me a sense that I was a responsible adult that had all of my Sh!t together. I still love warm florals with a nutty note. Wish that this was resurrected. I would love a bottle for nostalgia sake.

I don't understand! Why would they continue this? It's amazing! Upon the first spray I smelled a blast of amaretto, very sweet. I thought it was going to be a gourmand scent, but immediately after come the flowers. The jasmine weaves itself through the fragrance, lifting it up. In the drydown, the benzoin and jasmine become more and more prominent, creating a soft, warm, gentle blanket of scent that is in no way cloying. Oh it's just divine! Fresh and warm at the same time. So very elegant and refined. And the wonderful thing is, even despite the almonds, it NEVER becomes sickly sweet (except for the initial spray). Or even a little bit too sweet. It is very very well balanced. I'd even say it's quite "safe" and I absolutely DON'T understand why it's discontinued.

This one has my heart and like all things that have my heart, it is discontinued. Like used Marinera said I need to practice emotional detachment too. (not a dupe per se but Lancome Tresor is also same family, warm skin with some peach and I do get a bit of almonds, Tresor feels heavier and richer than Sensi so spray sparingly). Sensi is a gorgeous combination of florals and almond. And I would never guess wheat but maybe that and almond are the warm skin note. This is also so versatile. You can wear it to office, parties or even at home. Just adjust the dosage. I imagine this to be the effortless, timeless and sophisticated person who takes joy in simple things. Love this to bits. I am noticing that I love florals with almond or a touch of vanilla.

Soft, sweet, yummy & lasting. (Rochas) Alchimie "lite" with some of the woods and citrus found present in (YSL) Cinema. Smells very late Nineties to me, but I wouldn't call it "dated". A daybreak, fresher, soapier version of Alchimie. With a lime that is zesty, sweet and bright - think Opal Fruit/Starburst lime. The flowers are fresh and invigorating with the almond and vanilla aiding to balance. The scent, overall, is creamy and woody. While not quite as opulent, heady or warm as Alchimie, nor as dry, vanillic or woody as Cinema. I feel that it sits somewhere between the two, yet stands alone. It also has nuances of Burberry Brit, but I feel that it smells of a higher quality than that. An intimate character with moderate/arm's length projection.

Oh, my, I'm a fool for a floriental, and this one delivers the goods. I do get the comparisons to YSL's Cinéma, although the almond note in that one is more gourmand and vanillic. This has a gorgeous, slightly smoky balsamic and ambery base that anchors the jasmine and the unusually creamy woods accord. I'm not sure I have another perfume that has a black locust note (I think this must be the flower, not the wood, though--I think the woods accord is just rosewood). It gets a bit powdery as it dries down, but in a gorgeous, expensively groomed sort of way. What a pity that this was discontinued; one of the better dupe houses (e.g., Dua, Oil Pefumery) should make an "impression." Clearly demand exceeds supply.

I still consider it my signature despite not being able to wear it as one. I've never found anything I could say would take its place. I wore it year round, every day when I first found it. Hard to describe because it had a natural, dry sweetness (almond+wheat?) but it was radiant too. It felt elegant but not taking itself too seriously. Powdery, woodsy. Golden light! Class in a bottle. ***the one thing I find odd: the original copy above says Farnesi acacia. The notes above say black locust. I always thought this was a mimosa and not a black locust perfume. It has the right powdery floral essence to it to be mimosa + some jasmine. Where was it mentioned that black locust was the main note?

I love this beautiful scent very much. I have a handmade duplicate oil version of this beauty. Sensi is so warm and loving. I get pure cream when I put this on. What I mean is the woods and the gorgeous resins are so smooth and soft and sweet,it smells like some decadent skin cream. The happy green lime is there at the start,but then there are exotic flowers,jasmine so heady,and black locust so thick and lush. The woods dance up to my nose right away,and my heart is so soothed. This is soft earth,and green,and smooth, rich wood very feminine/yet could be softly masculine too.. For us Earth Mothers,and Earth Fathers can wear too,and smell lovely. We should all wear what we enjoy.

I recently sampled Valentino Donna Born in Roma and thought it smelled familiar. I bought a small bottle and now smelling it again and again, I believe it reminds me of Sensi. If you still have Sensi or if you vividly remember its fragrance, can you please sample Donna Born in Roma and let me know please if it’s indeed similar to Sensi? I bought Sensi many years ago, but before I had a chance to properly use it, the bottle was stolen from my luggage when I took a trip overseas. Silly me for not re-purchasing it then. Sensi scent profile isn’t very vivid in my mind and I thought I’d ask here, maybe you can confirm if they’re indeed similar or not. Thank you.

As you know perception depends on the available experience. This is also with perfumes. I will not argue with previous speakers about the similarity of Sensi with one or another known to them scents. Sensi is a fragrance of perfection and harmony, iconic, legendary scent that has long been among the perfume masterpieces and this is a fact. At the beginning the cream soda is guessed, such a gently lemon sweet taste which turns into almonds, wheat & jasmine-rosewood. The sounding is angelic, powdery-fluffy and nutty at the same time + warm, airy, gentle, and yet enveloping. A soothing fragrance. Love from childhood - i'll find out Sensi from a thousand.

This and Noa were my late mother’s scents. I was so sad to see it discontinued. I really had to get my hands on it so I found a bottle 1/4 full on the bay for only $12.50!!! I am so happy to receive it today. One spray brought me back to having my mom back here with me. Such a blessing, scent is. The ability for it to bring you into a pleasant memory is such a gift. I’ll cherish this tiny bit I have. Bring it back!!! It’s a beautiful perfume creamy powderiness to it probably from the almond. It really evokes s sense of calm. I really love it so much. Very elegant but not old fashioned. Just a lovely sweet creamy calming fragrance. Well done Armani.

I absolutely love this perfume ever since I bought it years ago! Unfortunately as it's discontinued, it's so hard to find now - please be careful when buying online, there are so many fakes out there! It smells gorgeous on it's own, however when applied on my skin it changes quite a lot in a very good way. I get compliments each time I'm wearing it, seriously, it amaze me still! And my boo just loves it, as he puts it himself, he could eat me! :) Luckily I still have few bottles, which I bought at one of the airports when the shop assistant told me it would be discontinued :D, but I still hope Armani house will reintroduce this perfume!

OMG!! Sex in a bottle. Wonderful, deep and woody oriental scent. Loooove it!! No sugarsweet flowernotes - perfect for me. Lots of woodsy notes, but they are all very woman'ish..Close your eyes and picture this: Little black dress, red long nails, high heels and an aura of Sensi - nothing will go wrong at that party...=) WOW! Sex på flaska. Underbar, djup och träig oriental parfym. Äääälskar den! Inga sockersöta blomnoter - perfekt för mig. Mycket träiga noter men mycket kvinnliga tränoter. Blunda och tänk: Kort, svart klänning, långa röda naglar, högklackat och en aura av Sensi - inget kommer att gå fel på det partyt...=)

Sensi is smooth and comforting, with creamy almond and a warm woody facet to it. I don't perceive it as being particularly sensual, just a comforting gourmand. The benzoin keeps the almond from being too sharp, and strengthens over time. Sensi is definitely unique in that it's not trying to break any boundaries or shock anyone. It's like a woman who's comfortable in her own skin. It's also a woman's perfume that is neither a flower bomb nor a sugary treat, though it has modern inspiration. I can see why it has a cult following; this is the one you reach for when you just want to smell good, no questions asked.

I would be forever grateful to Armani if they could get rid of tons of useless flankers and bring back Sensi! It's one of those fragrances I thought I would wear again, and now it's discontinued! Having said that, I'm practising "emotional detachment" and focusing on what I can wear instead... For example, Perle Rare by Panouge... truly a great find, with the same vibes as Sensi. I'll keep searching for others to suggest and come back to edit. Also, if you are reading this, could you send me your suggestions? Thanks! (Or, if there's a thread, let me know, I checked the forum but couldn't find anything yet).

I was 'nutty' for this perfume. And I still am. I have a bottle home, 50ml half gone, and I treasure it. I spray it once a year, on my birthday. I definitely want to see it brought back! But ... searching for it all these years since it was discontinued, I managed to find something that, on my skin, resembles the almond and the black locust I loved about Sensi. It is L’Ambre des Merveilles Hermes for women and men. First time I smelled it appeared somewhat known to me, but it's only now I have figured it out. It is the closest I could get of the beloved Sensi. Maybe you could give it a try.

imagine a cool misty morning in a vast, beautiful exotic room overlooking a grand city of clear sophistication, that's what sensi reminds me of. it's beautiful, classy and sensual but not ostentatious nor suffocating. A must have for those who adore orientals which are not old school. Sensi brings with it a depth of character and breath often neglected by other fragrances in this category. it is charming and i wear it to the office, at home and even sometimes before bed, that's the charm of it - it can adapt to your mood, you wear the fragrance, it doesn't wear you......

I still have my beloved bottle of Sensi from about 2008, but I use it less and less--not because it's gone off (it hasn't, IMO) but because it's less than a quarter full and I don't want to run out. It's such a beautiful, soft, bright fragrance. YSL Cinema wasn't really close for me. I second @Mooniq and her suggestion of Perfume Parlour UK's Kyoushi as an on-point dupe for Sensi, well worth the purchase despite international shipping. I smelled the spray and the roller oil alongside the original and it's indistinguishable. Now I can enjoy this scent more frequently!

Sensi was one of the perfumes I have loved from the beginning. From top to base note - everything felt "right" and perfectly arranged. The notably sensual, creamy-powdery character didn't change for hours on my skin. Leaving the same scent without becoming something completely different after a while, like most perfumes do. I am extremely sad and disappointed Armani put it off the market and think this was a very bad decision. Since I cannot forgive this, I think I will never buy anything from Armani again. Don't want to lose a loved scent one more time.

Oh boy, they don't make perfumes like this anymore! I can't for the life of me understand why it was discontinued as it is obviously popular. This was my signature scent for a couple of years and I only have about 1/3 of a bottle left that I hoard and sniff every now and then for memories. I wore it in my early 20's but I think it smells elegant and beautiful but sexy at the same time. This is the only perfume I've ever smelled where a scent strip from a magazine hooked me. I'm glad to still have a tiny bit of it in my possession.

Ah, Sensi. I first experienced Sensi about fifteen years ago, it was my boss' signature scent. She always had a cloud of Sensi floating around her; a comforting but sexy, effervescent, attention-grabbing but still professional cloud that I would have loved to replicate. On her, Sensi was pure gold. Needless to say, I bought a bottle, but at fifteen years her junior, I was too young to do it justice. I sold it. I now want it back, as I'm the same age she was then, and would love my Sensi revival.

This is luxurious warm powder- like warm sunshine and sweet iced tea on a carefree summer evening. Something so comforting and easy, sensuous and sweet, natural and free. Makes me think of the song "Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing thru the jasmine in my mind". That song in a bottle. Like the mystery and enchantment of youth. Intoxicating and romantic. Who wouldnt love it! Discontinued? What a mistake. Gotta grab a bottle somewhere because this may just be my summer signature.

I own the miniature bottle no taller than my little finger. I wanted to try out Sensi after noticing so many good things were said about it. I wondered if maybe I wouldn't like it, since everybody's tastes are different, after all. Much to my surprise, it was one of the most lovely scents I had smelled. Warm, sensuous and feminine, with just the right hint of powder and musk. I really wish it hadn't been discontinued as it is very hard to find. :( I must use my tiny bottle sparingly.

What ́s a wonderful fragrance? Sensi is very beautiful, an exquisite floral, delicate but who stands out so unique. Only a very elegant woman to match this lovely fragrance. Armani is very difficult to go wrong when he comes to perfumes. I am delighted to Sensi EDP and the sorry fact that a perfume discontinued. This is a blow to accept ... The flowers are so striking and bring with them an appearance of cleanliness, comfort to suit those who use and those who feel. Incredible!

This was another Armani bday purchase, when I turned 40 this time. I am a summer baby so it was light and refreshing, prefect for Augusts in San Diego. However, the locust-what a sublime choice!-lime and almond were too ephemeral. I received so many compliments on how it was warm and feminine without being overtly floral. But the sillage is so limited, I would have to layer the scent and constantly reapply. Oh well, it is still lovely, like a brief summer sunset.

Sensi has no analogues & it is well known to lovers of this miracle. Many claim that Cinema YSL is a close relative, but no... Close, but no. What added perfumers Alberto Morillas & Harry Fremont in this fragrance. Why is he so attractive and desirable? This is aroma of love, happy, joyful and carefree! Everything in Sensi is balanced, verified and accurate, not a single wrong screaming note. He's incredible. My nut-powder tenderness in fragrant collection.

The initial blast of this is horrible, I admit. It is burnt rubber/rusting metal/sharp synthetic yukkiness. BUT it only lasts for about 15 seconds and then it becomes a smooth creamy comfort scent. There is some citrusy lime at the start, to balance the sweet creaminess. And there are some floral notes, but then it eventually dries down to smooth almondy creaminess (have I said smooth and creamy enough, yet?). I find this so comforting.

I didn't know this was discontinued! I was looking around for this for a while. I'm not going on Ebay to get it right now (I got bills to pay), but I remember it being a sweet and creamy scent. I didn't detect the lime at all when I wore it, but the benzoin, jasmine, and almond stuck around, even hours later, and it was warm, creamy. I wish I'd gotten a hold of this...one of the few favorites that I liked from the Armani brand.

Comfortable and romantic yet very elegant also sensual. This is a perfect scent for a woman who is very self confident but still has a big warm heart. The opening is kind of weird but then it turns into a smooth and warm perfume. Every step of this smell is clean. But not that sharp, citrusy kind of clean. It is more like silk scarf. Powdery and creamy... The drydown is gorgeous. It is the perfect mixture of cozy and sexy.

Sophisticated, comforting, smooth, creamy, velvety, delicate but noticeable. It opens with slight citrusy note that doesn't last long, because the main notes delicately wraps it and take over: at this point I smell woody notes,almond, resins and subtle jasmine, all softly blended together to give a milky effect. Nothing animalic, strong or sweet. I think the fragrance describes well the Armani woman: sensual not sexy.

Those base notes...ah Sensi, you work wonders. Every time I wear this, guys ask me what perfume it is and look all starry-eyed. Okay, maybe not starry-eyed, but for some reason, on me, this scent is such a warm, nutty concoction of sweetness that's like a love potion. My skin loves Sensi, and Sensi loves it. So sad it's discontinued, but it looks like some reviewers have found some sellers. Hooray for love.:)

Sensual, seductive, sexual. This is Sensi. Smooth and lightly creamy-powdery, it is naturally mixing with the skin creating charming atmosphere. Mysterious and relaxing. Not too sweet, not sharp. This perfume brings soft warmness and awakens delight feelings. Lasting power is fantastic. Very memorable scent. I think it is another masterpiece of Giorgio Armani. I really hope they will produce it again.

I have used this perfume for about seven years now. When I first tested it I was 16 and I instantly fell in love with Sensi. But it seemed a bit expensive to me at that time and so I used to go into the perfume store just to spray it on... and I bought it about a year later. I still love this perfume. To me, it smells like making love on a summer day in the middle of a barley field. Fields of gold!

To all those who (like me) are devastated that they can no longer buy Sensi, if you spend some time looking online you can find imitation perfumes that are very close to identical. This was my saviour as I have never been able to find a scent that I loved as much as this. Hopefully this will get you by until Armani comes to their senses and reproduces this beautiful fragrance!

What about Roberto Cavalli as a follow up of Sensi? I think I am gonna use it for the same moments as I do with Sensi (I stil have a quarter of a bottle). It is also balmy and white floral, but less heavy I think I might use Roberto C on daytime too when out and about with my boyfriend, Sensi is evening in my own hiouse and bed only, Roberto can come out and play with us :p

If anyone is looking for an almost identical dupe to Giorgio Armani's Sensi....look no further. I just acquired Bvlgari Omnia Amethysthe and it is IDENTICAL!! After selling my only bottle of Sensi (😞) I smelled the Bvlgari and IMMEDIATELY thought of Sensi. And it's still available in production as of 2020. It is a very soothing,calming scent. The dry down is amazing. 😊

my favourite perfume of all time. tried to find something else i love as much, but nothing comes close. also hunted for anything that is similar to this, but i can't find anything. have to resort to ebay & buy at extortionate prices (with the risk of it being a fake), but i just can't be without this! please, please Armani, bring back Sensi...

Giorgio Armani - Sensi Eau de Parfum An alluring haze that draws people in. Kaffir lime, almond, jasmine and benzoin resin blended to create an aura that's warm, pleasantly sweet and extremely comforting. Sadly, like many tasteful perfumes from the past, this one has been discontinued. Oh well, such is life.
