Sì and I..
Some things you just want to like. You try them again and again, only to always find that you just can't warm up to them.
That's how I feel about the entire Sì Eau de Parfum line. I've tested so many flankers, but no fragrance has managed to win my heart. In my last fragrance order, I received a sample of the “Intense” version and felt a renewed sense of hope. Usually, these versions are rounder, softer, and deeper than the original. Many an “Intense” version has brought me closer to a certain scent that I didn't like in the original.
Now let's talk about "Sì (Eau de Parfum Intense) (2021) | Giorgio Armani". What can I say: Yes, it is one-sided Sì. The typical scent DNA is unmistakable. I mainly smell the blackcurrant, nestled in dark rose petals and patchouli. All of this is underlaid with a caramel-like warm sweetness. It’s not a bad fragrance. It’s well made - it feels somewhat deeper and softer than the original. Nevertheless, my personal preference comes into play here.
By now, I believe that I only like the scent of roses when it is interpreted fresh and clear. I love the fabric softener rose in Chloé (2007) Eau de Parfum. However, as soon as the rose is surrounded by warm and sweet notes, making it appear dark, dense, and not fresh... it bothers me. A good example of this is La Nuit Trésor L'Eau de Parfum. I never warmed up to that one either. The fruity acidity of blackcurrant is also not my favorite in fragrances. This particularly applies when it is part of sweet scents.
So, what can I say. The fragrance itself is quite well made - there’s nothing to criticize. It just doesn’t necessarily match my taste. I don’t feel the urge to wash it off, but I also don’t need it in my collection.
Who knows, maybe someday I will say Sì to one of the future flankers in this fragrance line. At some point, there has to be a version for me :))

Ich dachte heute beim Schnuppern dass er mich an Pas ce Soir erinnert (kein Dupe, nur irgendwie ähnliche Ausstrahlung). Wobei dieser mir unglaublich gefällt. Aber die Säure ist in Pas Ce Soir runder. Da bleibe ich doch lieber bei BDK.
