Si Intense

Sì Intense keeps the chypre elegance of Giorgio Armani’s Sì and adds a richer, more radiant floral heart.

Black currant and davana open with a dark, fruity sweetness. Davana has a faintly boozy, honeyed edge, which makes the black currant feel deeper and more grown-up. Rose, tuberose, orange blossom, neroli and osmanthus form a creamy, glowing bouquet. Vanilla, benzoin and patchouli make a smooth, resinous base.

The black currant runs through the whole composition, so it feels sophisticated rather than sugary.

Evenings out, formal dinners and cooler days are where it shines. The heavy square bottle continues the Sì family look in a deeper tint.

This Eau de Parfum Intense is sold in 1.0 oz, 1.6 oz and 3.4 oz.
