Giorgio Armani Si Intense EDP

Out of all the perfumes that I wear, this is the one that I get the most compliments. There have been times where I have sprayed it hours before and I have people asking me what I'm wearing and how nice it smells. It is classified as fruity but there is nothing juvenile or childish about this scent. The fragrance is so sophisticated and elegant, I always feel like a million dollars when I spray this on. It gives me confidence and makes me feel beautiful. You don't even need to spray that much of it because the scent is strong and lasts for hours without being overwhelming. It has blackcurrant for that fruitiness, vanilla for that sweetness and depth, and floral notes that help to tie all the notes together while also having a bit of warmth so it develops nicely.

From the bottle design, performance, to the scent....impressed. For a mainstream designer fragrance, this one stands out and it is not one of the regular crowd pleasers targeted to women (like sweet vanilla, sweet something or other, boring rose stuff etc). Pricing listed above is wrong. 50mL/100mL - A$ 189/A$ 249 Modern chypre , opens with a burst of juicy and tart blackcurrant, made a bit creamy with sweet vanilla and rose accord, then made sharp again with blend of citruses , dry and grounded with woods, patchouli.... It is deeper and denser than original. Also stronger and less sweet. And a bit dark. The woods, citruses , patchouli, smokiness... almost...can make this perfume unisex. My fave from the line for sure! It lasts on the skin for at least 5ish hours with projection enough for people near me to feel it, then it becomes skin scent for a few hours more. On clothing it lasted more than a day (then I washed the top). Overall , tart fruit, hint of sweetness and creaminess and dry, dark and sharp overall. Confusing, but great! Unique.

When i first smelt this, I knew I needed it instantly. I love that it doesn't smell too floral and it honestly just makes me feel so empowered whenever I wear it. I feel as though its more appropriate to wear during the cooler months rather than during summer but because I love the scent so much, I don't even care. I think it's appropriate for all ages too! A perfect compliment to your outfit.
