"Si Glamourous"!

One spray and I thought to myself, I know this scent!
Indeed, a few minutes and sniffs later, I remembered where I knew this fragrance from. It could easily pass as a dupe of Armani Si Intense.
Loud and garden-fresh fruity opening with the blackcurrants, gradually fading into a soft woody musk cloud after a while. Chypre provides the constant.
Both now before me and examining closely, I could just repeat myself. On the skin, fabric and paper strips are hardly distinguishable.
What I personally notice is that the slightly sour note of Si Intense is missing here due to the mandarin. And that fits perfectly for me. I had the first Si and that acidity bothered me, and on some days it was completely out of the question for me. I was totally taken with the Intense variant when it came out. Finally, it worked for me.
That's how I feel about MCGlamour. The similar and better-tuned factors for my nose create a more harmonious scent profile, and the development remains constant for me. It comes across as a bit softer and cozier overall. Nevertheless, it is a rather elegant fragrance. It's a shame it didn't receive a more beautiful "outfit." As sober as the bottle is designed, one would never think of a "Glamour" perfume. A little adjustment to the lettering and some sparkle here and there, and it would have drawn more attention. As it is, it almost gets lost among its predecessors. Or maybe the name isn't well chosen? For the glamour, I miss the special touch, the intense sensuality and heaviness that one likes to showcase with a beautiful dress, turning heads.
However, it does not negotiate with its longevity. It lasts forever and even puts Si Intense in its place after a while.
A surely successful and more affordable variant of the Armani fragrance. But I can't imagine that this was the creators' goal. Unfortunately, it really is just a copy rather than an independent perfume. However, for those who don't know the original yet, this can be a fine, fruity-elegant women's fragrance that can accompany them everywhere.
When my Si Intense runs low, it can come to me.
Then I have two-in-one...
And so I can feel a bit "Si Glamorous" in my everyday life.
