Sì Passione Giorgio Armani 2018 Eau de Parfum
4
A matter of perspective
If you're looking for something passionate, deep and sexy like the naming and bottle design suggest, Sì Passione will likely be a disappointment. But if you adjust your expectations and view it as a fruity-floral allrounder for casual use, it's actually quite good. At least to my nose. It's an easy reach, not a seductive, opulent perfume for special occasions.
Sì Passione starts out with sparkly blackcurrant and sweet pear. Both are juicy and fresh, but the currants turn deeper and syrupy after a while. Together with the rose and vanilla it recalls the DNA of the original Sì, but lighter and without the sharp patchouli. The opening made me think this would be a clean, shampoo-ish fragrance with lots of pear. I was surprised when it got warmer and more feminine after a short wait. A modern floriental bouquet with fruity accents. Now I wouldn't call it passionate, but definitely flirty. There is also something in this that gives me early 2000s Escada summer edition vibes, though I can't really explain what it is, as this is heavier than those ever were.
This exceeded my expectations. I anticipated it to be generic and boring, and yes, it's not the most innovative scent ever, but I find it really enjoyable.
