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?
