Sì Fiori

DISCONTINUED FRAGRANCE REVIEW NO.#1 / 10. Sweet Heaven on Earth, this is scrumptious! The original "Si" is boss-level. Its throw, longevity, and scent are to die for. To. Die. For. So, I became interested in this particular scent because of the blackcurrant and neroli factor. Apparently this is the "Si" flanker perfect for spring. "Fiori" meaning "flower" in Italian. But all that does is make me Miranda Priestly all up in my head! Florals? For spring? Ground-breaking. Anyway. Honestly, I don't get the maddest spring vibes from this. I get florals, certainly - but not gentle, pretty, sunshine-y, spritely spring florals. Conversely, combined with that sexy, syrupy blackcurrant - I get deeper, sensual, intoxicating florals. The mandarin and neroli have that delectable citrus tang and the rose is also more like a red-purple colour-smell (still a legitimate term). The patchouli and oakmoss ground this scent, but never become obvious as notes vying for a turn in the spotlight. Rather they add depth and grown-up elegance. A very elegant, classy, refined, and slightly sexy creature wears this. So classy. So sexy. I intoxicate myself. The vanilla and musk combination is BEAUTIFUL here. *Drool* It's a cozy, deep, yet airy sweetness. Sounds like an oxymoron? I know. I'm sorry. Do I think this is crazy similar to the original? No, sir/madam. You can easily have both in your collection and not worry about wasting your money on some pointless perfume purchase (JK, JK - no such thing). As far as it being voted "smelling like" LDBS By Kilian - I get the similarities. I just wore and wrote a review for LDBS and it's the neroli/orange blossom note mingling with rose, vanilla, and musk that do it. They're both gorgeous. Facts. The major obvious difference between this and OG "Si" is that "Fiori" has nowhere near the projection and longevity of "Si". That lasts for days and migrates across deserts. Its beauty is its power (but also the scent because it's amazeballs). "Si Fiori", on the other hand, has okay-ish longevity and smells so-dang-good on skin AND clothes, but it's no room-filler. Don't get me wrong, it's not a skin scent, but you'll never induce your spiteful colleague into a coma; wearing this. In short, it's absolutely enchanting and 100% worth having, but OFC it's discontinued. Tosspots. Repurchase-worthy (while you can). *** Kitty rating: 9/10.

Quite nice, definitely different from the other Si flankers, I wouldn’t associate this as a blackcurrant fragrance despite that still being a note in here, whereas I would for a lot of their others Si flankers, as the blackcurrant note is much more prominent. This is a pretty fragrance, I think that’s the best suited word for this one, it smells very feminine, it does have a soapy element to it due to the neroli and that soapiness comes out slightly more on my skin compared to when I wear this on clothes. I’m not massive on white floral notes in perfumes, I can only tolerate them if they’re very soft, (though I can appreciate someone else wearing a white floral perfume), so for that reason I do prefer to wear this on my clothes so that the white floral soapiness comes out less (though the neroli is soft, i just find it more pronounced on skin). Projection and longevity is good, I’d be surprised if someone couldn’t smell this one on you once you’ve applied it. Has been discontinued, not sure why, I feel like this would be or would have been mass appealing among women. Some have compared this to cotton candy, I don’t think it smells like cotton candy but I understand why that keeps getting referenced, there’s a sweetness to si fiori that is very airy and light reminiscent of the airiness cotton candy has, it just has a marshmallowy airy sweetness about it. I’d say it’s worth buying if you can find it for a reasonable price, I unfortunately overpaid for a 30ml a year ago.

Si Fiori was the most delicate, soft, fluffy fruity vanilla that Armani ever created! Without being a groundbreaking scent profile, it’s a fruity vanilla after all, it smells so alluring, elegant, fairy like and sophisticated in the same time! The notes listed here for this perfume do not represent and are absolutely unremarkable/ ordinary; there’s nothing in Si Fiori that isn’t commonly seen in 90% of all women’s perfumes but somehow the blend smells very expensive, luxurious and distinctive. Don’t know how to phrase it to make justice to how gorgeous this fragrance smells because I didn’t expect it to be this good!!! Also, I didn’t expect it to get discontinued so soon because it was so loved by most women. But surprisingly, it exceeded my expectations because it’s something else for a designer perfume, and a flanker. I wore it today and I was reminded how beautiful it is! And even though now that I have, or tested, hundreds of perfumes, I still find myself addicted to it every time I caught a whiff in the air. Puts a smile on my face. Makes me remember moments from the past... It makes no sense to me that Armani chose not to sell anymore a perfume that’s so well loved, beautiful and feminine but launches every year a new flanker in the same line, Si, that’s very average and forgettable! Can we have this back please, Armani!!!

How this flanker didn't become the star of the Si lineup is baffling to me. The fact that it was very quickly discontinued is even more so. I think you must enjoy black currant to enjoy this perfume. Sure, it becomes fluffier and airy on the dry down the initial blast of thick, syrupy, sweetness can be headache inducing if over sprayed. (The black currant syrupy sweet is what connects this perfume to the entire Si lineup and it would be a pretty far removed flaker without it.) This is a practically perfect in every way Spring and Summer scent on my skin. I find the best performance to be on a hot day when the top notes can be fleeting. Once the initial notes fade I am met with a powdery, musky, neroli that sings! The mandarin keeps it fresh so the patchouli and musk don't become cloying and the vanilla sweetens it into borderline bubblegum territory. I can see why on paper some would compare this to 'Love, Don't Be Shy' by Kilian but the patchouli deepens Si Fiori to keep it from becoming just another 'mature' Pink Sugar wannabe. Overall I'm extremely impressed by this perfume, even if the rest of the Si line has been a miss for me. 9/10

The first time I sprayed this perfume I was in a Duty Free store on the way to visit one of my friends in Vegas. It was absolutely captivating- airy, sweet, creamy, and floral. Some of the perfume got on my sweater and as I was on my second flight I kept getting little wisps of it in the airplane. At least 40,000 feet up in the air, where our sense of smell and taste are a lot less, I was quite surprised to still catch it around me. I quickly bought myself a bottle before I came to medical school which is also around the time I found out it was discontinued :( It was my scent I wore (and still wear now though only sparingly since it has been discontinued) on dates and nights out with my class. I would consider this one and Girl of Now to be my signature scents. This one is so beautiful, I bought an extra bottle as a backup since it is getting harder to find now. I'll be sad when the day comes where I don't have this in my collection anymore, but I will enjoy it on special events and make it last as long as I can. In my honest opinion this is definitely one of the best women's fragrances ever made

I hate how often brands are discontinuing fragrances right now. It’s way too much. This is a beautiful scent. So pretty that I bought a backup and I don’t usually do that. The scent is like a creamy berry smoothie, but still perfume and not like a body spray. I like a few from the Sì line, but this is hands down my favorite of them all, and also most different from the others. It could have been its own pillar. Soft, feminine, creamy (but not in a sickly or sour way), it really smells like the bottle looks. Oh, and I tried the suggested dupe combo from the reviewer a few spaces down... the Valentino DBiR with Kilians Princess... because seeing it written out it did sound like it might work. But oh god no. That combo smells really offputting, almost sweat like. We all like different things and I get that. But combo on one arm and Sì Fiori on the other.... They smell 0% alike. And the combo in my opinion, does not work even if it’s not trying to be something else. It was a nice try though. Seemed like a good idea.

This fragrance will always have a special place in my heart as this was my signature when I met my now husband. I can definitely detect the similarities with the original Sí, but this is lighter, more youthful and floral. This was the ultimate perfect perfume for me, not too strong, not too weak, not too mature but not juvenile. Feminine, beautiful, not offensive but special and easily recognizable, appropriate for every occasion. I got sooo many compliments wearing this. I even wore this on our wedding day, it was a perfect bridal scent too. My husband says it makes his heart skip a beat whenever he smells it - and he is not great with scents! I was (and still am) heartbroken when it got discontinued. I bought 2 backup bottles, but I'm on my last one now so I rarely use it, saving it for special occasions and smelling it sometimes to bring back all the beautiful memories. I will never forgive for discontinuing.

Yet another discontinued fragrance I really love. If you don't like Si because it's generically sweet, don't like the opening beer note, or think it's overpowering, this would have been perfect. Fiori is creamy and sweet, blended with neroli to create this milky white floral fragrance with some hints of fruity notes. To me, it smells like a wedding day, jasmine milk tea with 20% sweetness, doves, meeting someone you don't know is going to be your best friend (for real this time) yet, memories of your childhood, and the moment you realize life really isn't all that bad. It's comforting, soothing, gorgeous and inviting. I imagine Liv Tyler wearing this, it suits her voice and honestly her gentle beauty as well. Armani, I am once again asking for your support in bringing back this gem. I love OG Si but she doesn't have anything on her Liv Tyler-esque sister Fiori.

pretty rosy marshmallow. SO SO SO upset this is discontinued!!! I'm afraid to use my bottle lest I run out and am never able to get my hands on it again. literally the best flanker in the Si line...instead of expanding Passione they should have kept this on board. super rich and decadent but at the same time a light and fluffy scent. I think the black currant keeps it from becoming TOO vanilla/sugary sweet along with the oakmoss and patchouli. the pastel pink bottle is exactly what this fragrance smells like. i think it's perfect as a day-date fragrance or any occasion where you want to feel like a pretty princess!! my only complaint is that it gets a little bit cloying and can be headache inducing when sprayed too much; 4 sprays is plenty for the whole day without it becoming too much. that aside, I love it to pieces and will always try to keep it around.

It took me awhile to warm up to this perfume. Or, this perfume took awhile to macerate and come into full bloom. Now, I love it. It lasts beast mode, the entire day, and it's kind of creamy with a floral scent. It smells like the bottle, soft, gentle, totally feminine. It's in no way headache inducing nor annoying to close "cubicle partners" at the office. I love that it smells all day and even when I get home it still smells lovely. It's an easy reach and yet a sexy but not over-the-top fragrance. It's bright and happy and totally wearable year around. Since it has been discontinued if you want to try it don't wait! I have two bottles and am just getting used to the idea that when the second bottle is used up I'll have to find another fragrance. It's lovely though, and I've noticed even getting better as the weather warms up.

Love how this hits just right between sweet and bittersweet. It has an almost creamy-like feel which is somewhat gentle and soft. Begins with a fresh citrus note. Yes, citrus and slightly bitter. But that doesn't bother here, because the мandarin quickly gives way to a tangy and succulentcurrant, which blows along passionately with vanilla.Then the citrus becomes softer and finer, changes into cream cream and gets a light floral touch.This fragrance is also so well made. It then remainscreamy and sweet until it disappears. Again and again however a sweet warmth blows against me, which is quite pleasant.It's the perfect accord. This "perfume love story" is longlasting and quite strong and it's perfect by day as well as by night and everytime you want to teneder-romantic.

This scent deserves all the amazing reviews it gets. It definitely has some of the DNA of the original Si. That slight wine-like tannic smell. Imagine that you were sniffing original Si and a bag of marshmallows at the same time. If Si is red wine, Si Fiori is like... an airy creamy mousse dessert made with a dash of fruity wine and vanilla. Its not gourmand but there is something delicious happening. Fluffy is a great word for this scent. It is a soft and gentle beautiful scent and it lasts decently long. I wish they would bring this back so I can have it forever. I have been requesting Julianna's perfume to recreate a dupe of this since they have a history of duping some loved discontinued scents. Please join me and submit a vote for this fragrance to be recreated!!!

This is a lovely, soft, cozy fragrance. It's also quite feminine, and the word "girlie" comes to mind, although it's not an immature fragrance. It's slightly musky, vanilla forward to be sure, but I also smell the rose, and there is a beautiful blending of the other notes that lend a fruity quality to this. Because of the color, I'm inclined to think of spring when I see this bottle, but the fragrance is better when it's a bit cooler outside, and I prefer it in the winter, fall, and very early spring. I live in a hot climate overall, so in the real heat this one becomes a bit cloying for me. This is my favorite of the Si line. It projects to about arm length, and I find it to be quite long lasting. Such a shame that this beauty was discontinued.

Interesting stuff! It reminds me a bit of Britney Spears Curious in its grape-like chypre element standing out from the white flowers and fruits. But while Curious is just one or two layers of complexity, I am totally intrigued by the multilayered complexity of Si Fiori. From the beginning, I can smell thick flowers, jammy fruits and smoky sweet vanilla. As it progresses after about 15 minutes, I get something like burnt caramelly vanilla and smoky currants. This is the yummy part that I love the most and it stays with me throughout. Also, if you have tried this middle-eastern oil by the name Bakhour, it smells like sweet caramelized red peppers smoked on wood fire, there is something very similar in the soul of this scent. I love it!

I got my hands on a 30ml bottle half full for $30 bc i was so curious to see what the fuss was about. And yes it is a gorgeous fragrance but I think I understand why some perfumes that are loved get disocntinued. I honestly believe it’s because other company’s want to buy the formula. Because this smells very similar to love don’t be shy. Not exact. But similar. Dare I say this discontinued beauty is better. Something is different about it and i can’t put my finger on what. It is the same kind of sweetness as LDBS but done a little more elegantly, more complex, yet it’s a simple beauty but it’s just a bit more sophisticated. Sad that this was discontinued for sure

I'm still fighting in my heart to forgive Giorgio and their team for discontinuing this fragrance. Of all the Sì flankers, this was my favorite. The powdery envelope that held the familiar notes of Sì meshed so beautifully and created a more sensual yet bright fragrance that felt so fun to wear. My favorite place to wear it honestly was in the house, simply because I could reapply it--longevity wasn't its strong suit--as liberally as I wanted and fall in love over and over again. Many people preferred Passione, and I still don't see the hype. This was the golden gem of that line and I wish that even for a moment, they'd bring it back as an anniversary gift.

WHY does this have to be discontinued?! I’ve smelled all the Si line and this one is the best by far. It’s starts off very sweet and fruity and dries down to a beautiful powdery, creamy sweet. Someone here said strawberry milk shake on the dry down and yes! That description fits! I consider it to be an intimate perfume. My husband can’t smell it until he hugs me. It lasts almost all day on the skin but the initial scent upon spraying is gone within a few hours if even that. It lasts longer on clothes. Thankfully, I really like the dry down. I’ll cherish the bottle I have until it runs out and I’ll use it sparingly. I hope they consider bringing this back!

It's a crime that this fragrance is discontinued. It's such a beautiful scent, I'd describe it as sweet, creamy, perfectly blended and cozy - with a touch of freshness. You get everything you need from a fragrance in this one - it's nice for when you want to wear something special to work but it's also perfect for dates or nights out. It's sweet but not in an obnoxious way, floral but not too, it's elegant and mature yet playful and not at all old lady like, you can wear this as a young woman who wants something more elegant but it also fits older people. Even the bottle is gorgeous. Words fail to describe what a beautiful perfume this is.

UPDATE: My tail is tucked and my head is hung in shame....I had Si Fiori all ready to go up on my Mercari and even advertised it for sale on here. Dumb-ass mistake! It's been 18 months since I purchased Si Fiori and I recently decided to wear it to bed (for sh*ts & giggles) because I wanted to smell orange blossom for some weird reason. O.M.G. I was in heaven. I smelled so sweet. It was as if I had been skipping in an orchard of orange trees and swimming in a lake of syrupy black currants. Divine!!!! Needless to say, I will be keeping and cherishing my beloved 100ml pink beauty in my collection until the last spray.

ARMANI, IF YOU'RE READING THIS!!! PLEASE BRING THIS GEM BACK! EVERYONE LOVES IT AND MISSES IT. THIS IS THE ONLY PERFUME FROM SÌ COLLECTION THAT IS THE MOST POPULAR AND MOST MISSED ONE ❤️😩😭🥹 No other Armani Sì can compare and no good dupe either! It's so velvety, creamy and just so beautiful and well blended. The balance with the soft rose with smooth vanilla and moderate freshness and citrusy from the mandarin, the tanginess from black currant 🤤 it's just perfect and really no perfume can ever compare this one. I have over 20 perfumes but this is just perfect and so so well blended and smooth, feminine and beautiful
