Sì Passione Intense (2024)

I don't understand all the hate for this perfume. I've been wearing it for just over an hour now. And I love it. It was actually a love at first sniff. I already had Si Intense 2021 ( Never been impressed ). And Si Eau de Parfum Intense 2023 ( A love but not one of my top loves ). Never owned any of the other Passsione perfumes before though. Do any of you remember Eau De Lacoste Sensuelle? Well this reminds me of that. But a more grown up version. I have smelt a lot of perfumes in the last 10 years. And although there are elements of this perfume that reminds me of other perfumes. Mainly... Lacoste Sensuelle + Hypnotic Poison EDT. This perfume still manages to smell quite unique. I do wish this perfume was stronger. But I've got a feeling that this perfume will be one that gets stronger as it ages. To be fair. Even in the hour and a half now that I've been wearing this perfume. I think this actually seems to have got stronger on both my chest and arm. It really is beautiful. Love It!

Frankly, I hate the original Si. It smells like very old grandma to me. I don't really care about the other flankers of the scent either. This is what I love instead! For some reason it reminds me a lot of Hugo Boss Deep Red on my skin, which was my favorite scent years ago. It's still not a particularly special scent or very unique, but it does have the potential to be a signature scent. On my skin it's a fruity, little bit woody vanilla bomb. The blackcurrant is also clearly noticeable, but it's not too sharp, just right. I can't stand sharp blackcurrant in scents. It's warm, soft and cozy. It can be used all year round, but in the summer it works better as an evening scent. It stays on the skin for 8-10 hours.

Update! This has intensified as it’s sat for a week or so in my collection. I adore this scent and the vanilla is quite syrupy and fruity like a berry jam.. I get hints of Hypnotic poison from the vanilla. This is highly addictive and edible smelling I get the odd waft of it now and then and it’s heavenly. This is not a mega long lasting scent but it’s very beautiful .The bottle is amazing and reflects the scent inside, sweet syrupy almost jammy 👍

This is actually really good ! And very unlike all the other SÌ flankers. On me this is warm & spicy but also juicy. The pear brings fruity & sweet vibes. The sandalwood is gorgeous and comes when the other notes fades a little bit & I love that! For me, as a fall girl this is Perfect. I get a lasting power of 3-4 hours with only a few sprays ( work friendly) But it lasted 8hours with a little bit more. All in all si like it 🥰

I received a sample of this like one year ago and I tried it again today. The first time I sprayed it, I thought : "It's so similar to Born in roma or Alien, why bother". Today, however, I can't get enough of it ahah. It is indeed very very vanilla sweet, but not in an immature way. I might buy a small bottle of this, I find it really nice for the winter.
