I have Si EdT as a miniature at home and was able to sniff it quite a bit and form my impression of this fragrance.
Clearly, it rides, like many others at the moment, on the overly sweet waves and imposes itself on you. The beginning is very sweet, primarily characterized by blackcurrant and mandarin. This fruit mix is still quite nice and doesn't hit you as hard as La vie est Belle.
BUT, here comes the real calorie bomb. I'm not sure what it is, but I suspect it's the May rose that combines with one of the fruity sweet components to create an unbelievably sweet concoction.
In the middle, it becomes quite nice, a bit calmer, the sweetness decreases, and eventually all the fruit and flower disappear, leaving only the woody base. However, I don't find it very elegant. It comes across as somewhat clumsy/cheap to me. Overall, the scent simply reminds me of my village disco, where made-up hens stand around feeling sexy.
In conclusion, I would like to note that I noticed shimmer pigments in the perfume. I'm not sure if it's just generally due to the oil content in the perfume, but the shimmer does appear very pearlescent compared to the rest of the skin. This brings us back to the village disco.
I think the fragrance appeals to young, pubescent girls, but it's not a Si for an adult woman. If Si, then preferably Si Intense.
Maybe I'm just biased by the scents around me.
You associate a lot with them, and everyone has different memories tied to something specific, or it reacts differently on the skin.
I got the Si EdT specifically because it's not as sweet as the others, but La Nuit Tresor really tightened everything up for me. Hmm, should I, at almost 50, go back to the village disco? ;-)
