Should have never been discontinued

The first time I tested Sensi I got an awful shock because what I got was an acidic, oily, putrid smelling concoction on my wrist. However after scrubbing it off vigorously in the ladies room, I tried another tester bottle and much to my relief, this tester bottle was not off.

The real Sensi, while still fresh, is delightfully elegant, slightly powdery and clean smelling. The scent is heavy enough to be worn in the colder months, however if applied with a light hand, Sensi could be worn well in Spring.

This perfume is simply lovely. Although not very unique, I like Sensi's simplistic scent. However I will point out that for all the unique and interesting notes listed, the overall product does slightly disappoint. I was expecting Sensi to smell unlike anything I'd ever tried before.

I do however get the jasmine, almond and vanilla notes which together make a delightful mixture. Like all Armani scents, this fragrance is certainly sophisticated and elegant. I can see this scent suiting almost every occasion, whether it be casual or formal.

I recommend Sensi to lovers of creamy, powdery and classic scents like Allure by Chanel and D&G by Dolce & Gabbana, to name a few.

Perfect!

I am usually not that into the “discontinued hype”, often I find that discontinued scents well sought-after by collectors at high prices aren’t really that special. So I don’t really want to sound enthusiastic just because this is a rare fragrance, but... Jesus! Sensi is great. Plain great. I’d say it’s even perfect in its own way; it’s not mind-blowing, as it’s a very refined, sort of discreetly “academic” and somehow mannered (maybe too much) white floral-woody blend, but it’s just impeccable on every aspect. One of those fragrances which I could really see well working as a lifetime signature. Depending on you and on circumstances it can be luscious and sultry as much as perfectly clean, laid-back, youthful and lively.

The balance of the diverse nuances is just amazing: fresh, deep, powdery, sweet yet not a “gourmand” thing, rather a very crisp, mature, “satin” blend of clean, fascinating white-almondy notes. It’s a very simple blend actually: a gentle, top quality, classy cascade of “whiteness” in its most pleasant, bracing nuances – jasmine-driven whiteness, “sweet” nutty whiteness, even woody-resinous whiteness thanks to some very clean, smooth cedar-benzoin base notes, all topped with a beam of zesty citrus just to keep it fresh enough. At the very core of the scent lies a brilliant sort of fruity-rose heart which is very subtle, very natural, like a tiny pulsating heart giving life to the breezy, uplifting, sophisticated natural brightness of the scent. The drydown is a mellow shimmering modulation of nuances which as time goes by, gain some sort of slightly creamy “sun tan” texture, adding a whiff of floral-scented milk, together with some warmer and stronger presence of woods. I also sense quite a recognizable earthy-talc hint of orris root, although it isn’t listed in the composition.

That’s it, and it’s heavenly. Nothing more to say, not a single flaw to mention. Tremendously classy yet completely versatile. A smooth gem to spray liberally and smell gorgeous anytime, anywhere. This is how perfumes should be made, it exudes skills, confidence, quality, and wearability. Maybe not “creativity”, and to this extent I agree with Luca Turin review stating it’s not exactly an “inspiring” scent, but who cares! This is the quintessence of a classy, outstanding quality workhorse. A perfect signature, as I wrote above. All in all, in a world with so many people paying the same money for pathetic garbage (I’m looking at you, niche), Sensi is probably still worthy the collectors’ prices (well, the lower ones).

Requiem for my #1 favorite

When I first met Sensi I had no idea how special it would become. I found it pleasant but a little bit strange, a little too light. But I gave it the same chance I give everything. I wore it on hot summer days when most other bottles in my collection felt cloying. One steamy August night it occurred to me that I was falling hard for Sensi. It has the oddest assortment of notes...almond, benzoin, black locust, wheat, even a hint of lime. And that rosewood oil, going along for the whole ride. Almost masculine and soapy when first applied, it dries down to a silky wood that is all woman. I began to only wear Sensi at night and only when I would be surrounded by enough people to make it worth using a few precious drops. When I learned that Sensi was discontinued it felt like I had been punched in the gut. I stopped wearing it and kept the bottle on my dresser for cap sniffing. I only have a milliliter left. It's like a ghost to me. Will I ever use that last bit? I just don't want this to be truly over. Nothing before or since has even come close to making me feel as beautiful and unique as Sensi.

Should have tried another bottle?

My experience of Sensi was the same as MissK's first try - it was so disgusting I immediately threw it in the bin. I didn't realise, then, it might have been off. Maybe I should have tried another bottle.

Lime praline, not only for smurfette

"Sensi" by Armani interprets the brand's black dressing elegance in a very creamy, mild and chocolaty way. Delicious. And not at all intrusive, sticky or overly sweet. Dark chocolate with wood shavings and a light lime shot. I'm sure this would go down a lot better these days. Twenty years ago, it probably seemed too desserty and ripe at the same time.

"Sensi" lets you arrive and is just this even on the mass market never. Perhaps too quiet, perhaps too delicate, perhaps too round. And yet a thoroughly good to very good women's fragrance. More of a unisex fragrance. Not a "set" one for me to weep for, but still one that was/is far superior to many of its "surviving sisters". A gauzy almond cream for everyday wear, humanizing and high-end. Totally mainstream, totally enjoyable. Hard to go wrong with - no matter when or where, no matter if you sleep on the spray or just breathe on it, no matter if as a gift for yourself or a person from your heart. Signature fabric. Once upon a time. "Sensi" was beautiful. "Sensi" is beautiful. "Sensi" remains beautiful. Period.

Flacon: sensitive-beautiful-simpel
Sillage: a very subtle gourmand, almost skin fragrance
Durability: 6-7 hours reconcile customers

Verdict: "Sensi" is one of the most typical Armanis and an everyday treat for Tiefstapler. Unfortunately, never really arrived
