The better Sì?

I really like La Rive fragrances; in my opinion, they are well-made perfumes for little money.
While strolling through the city, I came across this beautiful bottle, simple yet elegant.
I suspected it was meant to resemble Armani Si, so I eagerly smelled the fragrance, and what can I say, I was immediately smitten.
In Woman, it starts fruity, slightly sparkling but without the sharp note that bothers me in Sì. I love it.
In the heart note, the fruity accords blend with the freesias and may roses; nothing stands out, everything fits wonderfully together, and you can already perceive the vanilla, which joins in and makes the whole scent sweet, warm, and cozy.
All of this is rounded off with a bit of patchouli and a touch of wood.
In Woman is clearly the better Armani Si for me; it is not as sharp or strong but milder, warmer, and more pleasant.
The longevity is also more than acceptable; I can clearly perceive it for a good 6 hours. My shirt even smelled of it the next day :-)
La Rive fragrances really don't need to hide; it's a shame there aren't more of the new scents in drugstores.

I bought In Woman today. It's my first La Rive scent. I tested both and found the original Si too strong as well. I especially like it when fragrances develop a powdery, woody scent. It's already lasted 3.5 hours on me. I think it's great! :)

It might be because I rarely get along with La Rive fragrances - to my nose, "In Woman" is significantly more unpleasant than "Si." The latter is tolerable in the smallest dose; I've even worn it before, but this one just didn't work for me at all.

I really like it too, I can only agree with you! I have several La Rive fragrances and haven't been disappointed by any of them so far. I even got one La Rive in the souk. I have it in double...

I don't like Si either, but this one is really not bad.
