Fragrances know no age! Or do they?
For a long time there was a "no" from me to "Sì".

I still remember well when the fragrance was launched and excessively advertised in the process.

It must have been about a year ago that Julia Roberts beamed at us for the first time from an advertising poster for La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum. A woman of stature. A seasoned personality.

Now it should be as the face of the latest creation from the house of Armani a similarly great screen diva: Cate Blanchett!

Unlike Roberts, who portrayed a lightness radiating and life-affirming person in the advertising for LVEB, Blanchett embodied a rather tough and somewhat aloof business lady. A grand dame.

(Of course, I don't want to give the impression with this comparison that there is only black and white or that a person can only ever combine one of the two versions. I merely reflect how the two protagonists at the time have affected me.)

Unlike LVEB, it actually took me a while to "get into" Sì. Something inside me said to itself, you are not old enough for this fragrance. This scent would wear you and not the other way around. Was it the cool beauty of Blanchett that put me off? Was it the strength she exuded? I can't rule it out entirely...

Time jump to the present:

How wrong I was! Today, Sì and some of its flankers are among my absolute favorites. Thanks to this fragrance, I have discovered the beauty of blackcurrant as a fragrance for me. It combines a cool sourness in itself, but is still warm and sweet at the same time. Which brings us back to the topic - nothing is only black and white!

Sì starts fruity, tangy and simply makes a good mood. The black currant has something syrupy, seems noble and heavy. Over time, a few white flowers join the spectacle, before the fragrance slowly fades with warm vanilla and cool patchouli.

Sì is a fragrance of opposites for me. Just like the marketing of LVEB and Sì.

Ultimately, there are two completely different fragrances and personalities, which you can and should enjoy, no matter what age. After all, who wants to be the same / the same every day?

It's a "no" from me--
Purely from the description of the fragrance, "Sì" sounds like a fragrance that I should like. The emphasis here is on "should". Elegant, feminine, warm, sweet, subtly powdery - it fits like a glove.
If only it weren't for the blackcurrant liqueur...

Today I threw myself over my sample collection again. A sample of "Sì" fell into my hands. Well, I was already aware that I was never a great friend of this fragrance, but a Sunday, when you are just sitting in the garden anyway, is a wonderful time to test it again. The first impression after 2 sprays on the clothes : There it is again, the "currant liqueur". In this case, the name does not even seem like an attempt to make "currant" sound more noble, no - it really smells like a sugary currant liqueur. Sweet, fruity, sour. It is accompanied by a vanilla sweetness. I gotta be honest. The top note is my biggest problem. This heavy sweetness coupled with the sour fruitiness. I try to maintain my class, but I have to be honest - this sourness reminds me discreetly of vomit, especially in such heavy scents.

With time, the rose comes to the fore a little more. Candied, a bit pompous. Rounded off by the vanilla. Not bad in itself, but the currant liqueur never quite disappears. The fruity and sour note remains throughout the fragrance.

The durability is good. Also the Sillage. 2 sprays with a small sample spray head and the scent always rises into my nose. There is nothing to complain about - it also lasts 6/7 hours without any problems. Also the bottle is good looking. The scent is just not mine. I like fruity scents much better when they are pronounced summer scents. Airy, light and fresh. I also like exotic scents with coconut-fruit components. This sweet-sour and slightly pungent currant note paired with the sweetness and heaviness is simply not my cup of tea. I don't find "Sì" horrible, although the top note is on the verge of nausea for me, but not yet.

Tastes are just different

Si-For me wonderful
"Si" is one of my favorite fragrances! I just love sweet and intense fragrances that last forever! He was recommended to me by my girlfriend, who often has the same taste in this respect. When I then had the opportunity to test it in the store, I had to spray myself immediately, of course, to think: "Ok, my fragrance is probably not this!
A while had passed when I noticed the scent again at home and now just had to smell my wrist again and again. So it went on for the rest of the evening and of course I ordered a bottle directly. Since then, "Si" is for me no longer to think away and I use the fragrance again and again in between. Rather on special occasions, when you just get dressed up, but also simply for shopping when I feel like "something more". For me the fragrance is warm, intense, sweet and also other people often perceive it positively. For me it is a fragrance for chic and self-confident women, who might also like to attract a little attention. I know I didn't really go into the individual notes, but I personally find it difficult to make them fixed here. The opening begins rather sourly with me, but quickly the great, sweet fragrance develops, which I like so much and which lasts forever. For me a clear "Si" to this great perfume!

Jasmine Panna Cotta on a mirror of fresh berries..
There is a recipe for this perfume, which should be prepared in every well-equipped kitchen: You take freshly rubbed black currant (for our neighbours, in whose country I have lived happily for 10 years: black currant), no, of course NOT frozen, but fresh from the bush. Add some sugar (a little vanilla can never hurt), pour alcohol over it and let it stand for a few days. Making vanilla ice cream - homemade of course, and: what a question with real vanilla beans - and not just one! The chef also recommends vanilla essence in addition. For the sauce, bring pure cream to the boil with a little vanilla (three to four pods are enough) and brown sugar, then add ten handfuls of freshly picked jasmine and leave to stand for a few hours.
To arrange on the plate, generously spread a berry mirror of freshly pureed black currants on the plate. Pour over half a cup of the homemade blackcurrant liqueur. Place the vanilla-jasmine Panna Cotta lovingly in the middle. Garnish with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream and a generous amount of vanilla whipped cream. Oh, I almost forgot: Perfume the cream with a hint of tangerine and bergamot. Et voilà: Armani Sì!
I confess: I am normally an enemy of sweet smells, but Armani Sì I like because of this concise black currant. This cushions the vanilla and jasmine sweetness a bit and the fragrance seems more cheeky somehow. You shouldn't be put off by the first ten minutes - it's already pretty intense then!

Si or rather a determined No
There's a little girl at the fair. On this special occasion the parents spoil it to their heart's content. It squeezes a whole pack of raspberry jellies, followed by cotton candy and finally a bar of milk chocolate. Afterwards it turns merrily a round on the old carousel. A fatal mistake, as it turns out quickly. The girl can just climb down from the little horse, and already she gets rid of the previously eaten delicacies on the meadow.
You can smell this scent practically everywhere at the moment and it is really an imposition for the nose. It smells like a terribly penetrating berry explosion to which a hint of chocolate and something undefined acid has been added. I can't understand how so many people seem to dig this scent. If someone in the bus sits near me wearing this perfume, I have to sit in another place, because it makes me sick within a few seconds and severe headaches occur
