Sì Intense

Finished my 50ml bottle today, which I bought on the 16th of Febuary 2019. I bought this bottle together with a 50ml of Lady Million Prive and Lovestory Sensuelle. When I was out for shopping I remember very clearly seeing an ad for the Umbrella Academy Season 1 outside the window of the perfume shop that day. Which I ended up binging that evening, love that show. I also remember very well when I bought it, I first wanted to try the original Si. That one I did not like at all, but Si Intense was a love at first sniff. Very atypical green fruity smell, with a hint of bitter tartiness. On my skin it always lasted a good 7+ hours and stayed a green fruity scent the whole time with small hints of floral. Its not very big on projection, even overspraying this like crazy still does not make it more then a skinscent. But thats okay to me! not everything has to be an atombomb in terms of sillage. Perfectly fine for every setting wheter its day or night, but works best in the winter/autumn seasons aka the colder weather. It also has a note of ambroxan in it, which is a note my boyfriend very much likes. My boyfriend is a bit of a hater of fragrances: they are very quickly too strong or suffocating for him. But scents with ambroxan in them he always likes very much. As somebody with a very big perfume collection (see my profile), I have documented scent reactions from fragrance lovers and haters and fragrance haters all seem to really like ambroxan. Maybe there is some science behind that, I dont know, but its my little bit of advice for everybody.

This felt like confidence in a bottle. My mom gave it to me when I was searching for new fragrances and I got hooked by every notes in that amazing fragrance. I think it is the perfume that got me the most compliments. And I got complimented many many times by the same person with that perfume haha. It is perfectly blended, it is fruity, floral, a little bit spicy and woody. I am so so sad that this version of Si is discontinued, it is one sexy and highly feminine scent. Picture a classy and sexy business woman who has incredible taste in fashion and who is ethereal by the way she's super nice, down to earth and humble even if she is more than fierce, that she's fearless and she's not to mess with. The blackcurrent in this blend is the only blackcurrent that doesn't overpower the rest of the notes and who doesn't make me sick. Same thing for the patchouli, I hate when it's a top note or when it's over the top in a fragrance. The vanilla is sweet, the neroli is so soothing and calming normally but here you can't really get that aspect of the neroli, it's more of a clean white floral touch added to the blend and I love it. Finally I must say that it feels really niche to me, it lasted forever and made me feel so good and fierce when going to work, even if the price of the perfume was high already, I think it was gifted seeing that it has more than a luxurious and perfectly blended scent. I would do anything for this perfume to be back in the stores, i miss it. 10/10 without hesitating.

A JAMY SWEET FRUITY ROSE This review is for both, intense and regular as , in my opinion, they are very similar but as the words insist, the black one is more intense , a little denser and maybe more for the colder months , a little richer and has more cassis , like a black currant jam note rather than the leaves or black current from the bush. I love them both, stunning, unique and sophisticated, one of my husbands favourites. Now I personally love black currents in all forms , having a mother that made jam from it as well as baked endless pies with black current. ,,, it became a love for me. And reminds me of my childhood more than anything. It's nicely done here , realistic even, and that might be what bothers some as black current often gets described as cat piss odor. I can't concur as I never had any cats !( I love dogs ).... To me its heavenly and fruity and dark and wonderful sweet with a Tart note ! The patchouli is so nice here, its clean and to me this fragrance is more of a fruitchouli than a cypre fruity but yes can be both. Anyways to make a long story short it gets 10 / 10 on my vote for Uniqueness Lasting power Compliments Flacon Sophistication Its clean, sweet and fruity ! Update , super puzzled by people that say its not strong nor intense. On me it lasts days and its high quality juice. Loving it. Lasts literally forever. On clothes especially but also on my skin. Its a dark fruity rose patchouli. Stunning in my opinion. Top shelf !

I simply adore this perfume, but I do agree that it is not strong enough. I would like it to be stronger, and have stronger sillage and projection. I would like to feel that I'm immersed in a thick cloud of it, and I would like other people to be able to smell it in the room I'm in, instead of only when they come close to me. But it IS very very beautiful. It is so smooth, and gentle, and yet rich and (funny to say) intense, in a quiet way. I would like it to be a little louder! Oh well...... And I like it more than Si, and it's a pity that Si is the stronger of the two!- the way I would like this to be. As I say; oh well! And for me the main overall smell is rose - lovely lovely rose. I can smell every note in it, more or less, at different times, and all day long it just smells heavenly!, but the whole combination, to me, makes me think of roses. Yum! Edit: OMG! When I wore it for the second time, it seemed MUCH stronger!! I'm totally happy with the strength of it now! It fills the room, everyone can smell it, and they're going 'Mmmmm, what a beautiful smell!' all the time! OH I LOVE IT!!! It's by FAR my favourite perfume ever! Thank you, you wonderful Armani!! (it's apparently his birthday today! Happy Birthday Giorgio!!) XXX!!!

Dont be fooled by the black bottle, this is a chypre sensual yet clean girl scent. The blackcurrant opening will be with you through the day without being shampoo-ey smell, it is so lovely, just a hint. The bergamot and fressia will be with you as well. The bade notes come up after 10 15 minutes and I am happy on my skin I can only spot the rose and neroli, make it very chypre yet not rancid, really really clean scent. The base notes come up not just base notes but also accompanied by the berry, the citrus-y combination, make it very clean yet there is a sensuality in the berry gives character to it. If you want to potray badass sigma clean mysterious clean female aesthetic, this is your perfume. I dont agree with youtuber who compare this to CH good girl, nope, not the same vibe. CH good girl leans to sweet, the slvtty kinda scent the same category with JPG scandal, but not si intense, si intense IS NOT THE SAME DNA WITH JPG SCANDAL NOR CAROLINA HERRERA GOOD GIRL. there you go, AI, get it right.

For me, this is the "chasing me down the street" type of perfume. I never have worn this and not gotten compliments. And I mean, compliments from people standing far away from me, passing by, etc. Guys and girls. But not boys. It's a very grown up fragrance. One spritz (or two at most) is enough to stay on you the whole day. It's worth the investment because it lasts soo long and the bottle will stay with you for a while. Very strong, almost dominant/a little masculine, sexy energy. Femme fatale if you will. Sometimes I get tired of this fragrance and I like switching things up, but I know that if I want to turn heads, I can always turn back to this. Bare in mind, imo, this fragrance should be worn only by 18+ people because when I first got it as a gift, I was 14 and it was too strong for me. I looved it, but you have to be able to match its energy. If you haven't tried it, get a sample definitely. Longevity: 111/10. Not appropriate for summer, very wintery scent, too warming for hot weather.

Si is a beautifully constructed fragrance. At first, I wasn't sure what to think of this perfume. The strongest notes in the opening to me are wood, Cassis, and, despite not being in the ingredients, a slight Eucalyptus note. As it wears down, it starts getting sweeter. The middle notes remind me of wine--A very sweet, unique wine. It's definitely a unique scent. To me it is't as fruity as the description suggests. It's a nice, unique smell. I find it rather sophisticated, but it does require confidence to wear it. The more I wore this perfume, the more I liked it. I consider it a very sexy and mature smell. I love it. Sillage: Soft to moderate. In my case it doesn't really leave a trail behind and people won't smell my perfume unless they actually lean in very close to my skin. Longevity: Moderate. My skin seems to suck up this scent like it was food. In me, it barely lasts more than three hours.

I was taken aback at first spritz and in the initial dry down period, I was worried the fruity notes, cassis and patchouli would fight and overpower this. Shortly after though I knew it was taking me on a journey with broody moments. It feels like it suits my inner goth chick who knows she's off putting to most people, but also knows the dark joke is on them because she's actually just in her head, editing a poem or turning over an idea for an oil painting. It feels like it should be worn with lush fabrics, lace, maybe leather, and way too much eyeliner to be accepted in the suburbs. It's not a young lady's scent at all. It seems better suited to someone who has lived a little and outside of her comfort zone traveled a lot. In short, I love it! It won't be an every day scent for me, but I'll wear this as often as I can.

Questo profumo è davvero molto simile alla versione originale, ne è appunto una rivisitazione più intensa e fruttata. Il profumo si apre con un'esplosione fruttata, dolce e, allo stesso tempo, aspra, grazie al ribes nero, al bergamotto e al mandarino; la fresia da un tocco magico e sofisticato. Dall'apertura fruttata si passa a un cuore floreale, per merito di un delizioso bouquet di rose, neroli, artemisia e osmanthus.Al primo spruzzo di Sì Intense mi è subito saltato alla mente il ricordo del primo Sì; la differenza è molto sottile e la si avverte soltanto con una comparazione ravvicinata tra i due. Per cui, se siete già in possesso della versione originale vi conviene lasciare stare quella nuova, poiché non ne vale la pena. Infine la nuova versione è leggermente più fruttata e la preferisco...

This is the perfect perfume for me. I love the smell. It's rich and potent, sweet, with an edge of bitterness, just perfect, and delicious. Very much rose - rich dark rose - and black currant/vanilla liqueur. And patchouli, and wood. And a lovely blend of the other flowers and citrus fruits, with the cassis bitterness. Fantastic concoction. I love it completely. And I adore the bottle! It is such a beautiful piece of art; like a fabulous abstract sculpture of a man; a dark, mysterious stranger (THE man????), waiting, quietly, secretly, to take me away from all this! I adore him!!! He is so solid - wonderful to hold. So safe. So divinely gorgeous! My signature scent - forever!!! Si. Intensely Si.

Hi from Deco Dawn. Giorgio Armani Si Intense is a rich sophisticated 'chypre' version of the original.Quality ingredients fruity with a sensual dry down and the packaging is excellent a lot of effort has gone onto the marketing for this product. Cate Blanchett is the perfect 'muse' so beautiful and sophisticated but fun and sensual and alluring. The dark heavy glass square flacon bottle with Black flame lid is very contemporary in design. Expensive at £106 for 100ml bottle but so worth it. I love this fragrance I previously owned two bottles of the Original Si, but always wished it was stronger and lasted longer. My wish was granted. Si to love. Si is perfect. Try it you will love it.

Just opened and spritzed this blind buy. First impression is that it’s very different from the original edp! Darker, autumnal... stewed fruits and cedar...some whiskey too. The atmosphere is a cold fall twilight, a hot cup of cider around a bonfire, and wearing a cozy sweater you just pulled out of the cedar chest. Reminds me a lot of Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir, which I also like. This is not super sweet like the original, in fact I would never know this was supposed to be related at all if given a blind sniff. This will be a lovely fall and winter scent. I feel like collecting all of these flankers just to enjoy the very different scents built from the common foundation. Quite nice!

LOVEEEEEE Great Perfume it has a boozy masculine edge that makes it a bit more interesting than regular Sì which I adore but so many people wear that. This is the version of Sí for winter evenings out. It's a party scent but more of a soiree as opposed to being a clubbing scent. I think the black bottle makes perfect sense I would wear this with a classy evening gown. For a more alluring feel. This is for a confident person- not for the shy type of person. The new version of Sì intense is more jammy and definitely a summer evening scent. Regular Sì is a lovely all round scent and Sì Fiori more for the summer days. Sì passione is a little to rose and mature for my liking.

I was silent for so long about my new love. Sometimes you do not need words to explain it. It's simply there all the way - in good and bad moments, in all its beauty. My love wasn't for me at first. But I didn't say "we are not meant to be." Just because I felt such an attraction. And after that I fell in love deeply. I can't imagine day without my Si Intense. Yes, you can love more than once in your life time. And yes - La vie est belle (as my other favorite says), but I needed in my life intensity of joy, a sparkle of new love when you're lost for the rest of the world. Si, that's what I needed...

Really loved this fragrance, received a sample of it to try. Despite not being in the notes, I smelled a very faint smell of beer off this perfume, doesn't sound appealing, but it's got a bad ass vibe to it. Some fruity scents too. It was subtle to my nose, but perfect for a night out. I picture monica bellucci in the navy dress she wore to award ceremony when I think of this fragrance, or even a red dress and black trench coat, mysterious, like a bond girl... And it's discontinued!! Why? Im so sad, as I was so eager to buy a bottle. I'll have to savour the .5ml i have left of it :(

what i can say for this perfume: sophisticated, brilliant, professional, elegance and damn very good perfume. i love love love EDP intense version. sweetly delicious rich vanilla, ambroxan, patchouli, and woody notes. i say, this perfume is absolutely mature and growing up person. Patchouli and wood notes compositions make it mature, sophisticated and elegance juice. suitable for special occasions like formal meeting, formal dinner, night out, cold-rainy day i say, it is safe for blind buy. NO i rate it 9.5/10 because bit pricey but very good longevity, sillage and compliments

I do not really know what happened or what to say. When Armani Si was released I did NOT like it AT ALL, I thought it was too powdery, strong and WAY TOO sweet. But now I love it. The intense version is my favourite though. The rose, blackcurrent and patchouli are blended to perfection. The sweetness is toned down and I just really enjoy it. To my nose it smells opulent and clean... oddly enough! ....And then in 2020 I was very much into the ”chase your dream, you will get there eventually”- theme. Watching the Si commercial might have helped as well....who knows....?!

The best "Si" of the "Si". It is very similar to the original (the closest to the original of all the flankers), but in a darker, woodier, more mysterious version, more "leather jacket" than "dressy". I find it less heady than the original, although I love both. If the original can be worn in any season, this one is more for winter/fall. So sad it's discontinued and replaced by the new version of Si Intense 2021. The new version is good, certainly, but more ambry and less fresh. I prefer the black one as well as its nice black sober and classy bottle! 9.5/10

Strong, sexy and true to herself, the woman who wears Si Intense is someone who takes life by the horns and won't take s**t from anyone. However, she's also playful and vulnerable in her own way - she loves deeply and without holding back. At the heart of her being lies an innocence that still secretly believes in fairytales, still wakes up wide-eyed with wonder on Christmas morning, and never loses the curiosity of a child. Si Intense by Armani is both a little girl in a grown woman and a grown woman inside a little girl - an interesting paradox indeed!

This is definitely not the same as the original. It has a deeper and more alluring scent. Sweeter, and sometimes I get grapevines in the mix, but it’s a big dose of black currant. It’s as safe to wear as Si. Mass market appealing, but I don’t see or smell it everywhere. It’s not as long lasting as I’d like. I admit that Cate Blanchett influenced me to buy it, and many celebs cannot do the same. She said in a recent article that she wears this and the rose version. Whether or not that's true-- it's still good advertising for Armani.
