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.

I just tried this today and I can't stop sniffing myself ^^ It's a happy balance between seductive and cheerful, nighttime and daytime, sweet but not gourmand, captivating but down to earth. Maybe a bit generic, yes, but very wearable and great as a signature scent. (Fyi, I am a hater of the original SI and si passionné as well)

I'm so happy I'm getting this perfume today :) I only buy the I'm addicted-can't stop sniffing perfumes and this is one. Warm sweet berries. Perfect for autumn and winter. I only wish it were stronger on my skin and lasted longer, it's not very intense.

The only way to explain this fragrance is round. It’s very inviting, mature and you can use it everywhere in my opinion! It leaves a very good and delicious trail where ever you go. I recommend this to wear alone but also layering❤️

This is to me is the adult version of Cacherel's Amor Amor! In love with it. It smells like "red", like romantic passion, sexy escapades. A fun, fruit and seductive nightime scent.

Absolutely beautiful and my favourite of the range. The bend of the fruit and vanilla is just stunning and so seductive. This will be my new signature. Love Love Love 🥰

This flanker smells amazing! Love the sweet smell from blackcurrant and vanilla with a hint of freshness from the bergamot.

I have tried today in store on a blotter the most recent Si Passione Intense launched in 2024 and... good news is that smells way better than the new Cosmic 2.0 by Kylie!!! And that’s the only good news regarding this Armani. Yes, it’s another blackcurrant, vanilla heavy perfume, like many other in the Si line and smells pretty much like a variation of all of them. Throw in some pear to make it sweeter and more fruitier and the most overused white floral, the jasmine and you have another perfume. Easy peasy.. And about being an intense fragrance, forget about that!! From I can assess based on a blotter test, it doesn’t come across as an intense concentration! I might be wrong, but I have previous/better/ more intense versions of Si and I don’t think I am interested enough to try this 2024 version again. Like 99.9 of the designers nowadays, Armani launches countless flankers, year after year, of a successful fragrance that they created in the past to cash in. And that’s it, end of story. Armani, you lost me there flankers ago...Release something new and let the Si line go.

Tried this today along with the regular Si intense (2023 version). Suprised how much i like this one!! On me, Si passione intense projects so well and is the fruiter one of the two. The vanilla, sandalwood and blackcurrant go really well together here. The regular Si intense has slightly more vanilla and has a red wine-y vibe, however on me it pulls much softer and skin-like which is odd for an 'intense' fragrance. I can understand why some reviewers have listed Baccarat rouge as a similarity as although they are quite different fragrances, they definitely share the same DNA. The female staff member working at the bakery i went to today complimented the smell of this perfume on me, so that made me happy.

Have a sample of this and on the blotter I didn't really like it. I got a really strong pink pepper opening, which isn't listed as one of the notes but it is in one of the other Si Passione flankers. On skin, however, it's much mellower. It's a lovely scent, very likeable. Berry jam opening and gorgeous vanilla sandalwood dry down. The jasmine is subtle, not overpowering or indolic. Generic amber fruity floral scent profile, medium projection and longevity. Nothing special or groundbreaking but lovely nonetheless. I wouldn't spend money on it but would keep it if gifted to me.

Was looking for an autumn/ winter scent and had high hopes for this despite not being familiar with the other Si flankers. I love the bottle, looks so classy and sexy. It is a lovely scent, pretty similar to Valentino Donna Born in Roma to my nose. I already own BIR so seems a waste of money to own both. Performance on this is also terrible on my skin, could barely smell it on myself within 30 mins. When researching online the only reviews I seen on Tik Tok etc. are paid ads which always puts me off too. Disappointed!!

This is for someone who really enjoys very sweet scent but doesn't give you headache or migraines. It starts with light sweet fruity and surrounded with vanilla and woody base. but for a while it's twist it up a little bit into a darker very very sweet creamy powdery vanilla and more floral more intense woody base. it's giving more grown up sweet scent, bold, luxurious, inviting, welcoming and a hint of playful. I really like it. It's freaking LONG LASTING. this is expensive one but worth my money.

I was very impressed with this perfume and bought the largest size but now I'm not in love with it yet I just like it. The spread didn't satisfy me and I didn't get any compliments!!!! What can I mix this perfume with and use it with? I think it is a fun, cheerful and cute scent. I can use this perfume when I go out to have fun in summer or winter evenings. I think this perfume is too energetic for the day. You can match it with cherry, coffee or vanilla perfumes and smell different.

Nice! Very similar to Valentino Donna Born In Roma minus the pink pepper in the opening, which is a good thing in my opinion. Fruity, sweet, jasmine, lots of vanilla and a bit woody when it has dried down. Quite strong, sprayed one spray on my wrist and one on my neck this morning, could smell it strongly for 1-2 hours. Now, 9 h later I can still smell the base notes on my wrist. Might be cloying on warmer days, but is perfect for evenings and fall/winter.

I love all these notes except the Jasmin which i find smells like washing powder/white soap. I wouldnt purchase a full bottle as I think its ok. Kind of reminds me of Voce Viva Intense. I can see this being popular the blackcurrant is delicious 😋 The perfume is strong and long lasting and I would be great for a date nite. I never tried the older version so I cannot compare the two. Does anyone know why they keep changing the formulas?

This is really nothing to do with the original Si. It's very nice, but too much like so many other fragrances that are out there already. If it was in my collection, would reach for it? Yes. I'm a sucker for an orange blossom and jasmine combo. If it came to me as a gift, it would be gratefully received, but I won't be adding this to my Want list.
