"Si" - soooo many berriiiiies
Unfortunately, I can't share any of the enthusiasm expressed by other reviewers. To me, "Si" is an average fruity-floral perfume, which hardly differs from other offerings in this vein. Even the smart, young sales-assistant at Harrod's admitted that "Si" was "nothing special". In the press material "Si" is described as a "modern take on a chypre", but I don't agree. (Probably too "modern" for me... I fail at detecting any chypre-qualities in "Si" at all). The opening accords are very playful, loads and loads of sweet berries - blackcurrant - and they can be felt up to the very end. I can't remember how often I have smelled this aroma before - countless times. If you're into sugared blackcurrants on a bed of roses, jasmine and vanilla, you should give "Si" a try. I for my part have to confess that such fragrances bore me stiff.
