Sì Intense 2021

Sì Intense 2021 by Giorgio Armani, composed by Julie Massé, is the deeper, darker version of Sì. People describe it in four equal ways: sweet, woody, floral and resinous, which sums up a scent that is rich and balanced rather than led by one idea.

Blackcurrant syrup opens it, dark, tart and sticky, more like a cordial than fresh fruit. The heart is Turkish rose, deep and slightly jammy, paired with davana, a herb that smells fruity and a little boozy, somewhere between apricot and liqueur, which lifts the rose and gives it a warm, unusual edge. The base is patchouli and benzoin: the patchouli earthy, dark and a little chocolatey, the benzoin a sweet, vanilla-like resin that softens everything into a warm glow.

Most wearers report long lasting or moderate longevity and a strong or moderate trail. It is voted mainly for autumn and winter and leans towards evening. It suits someone who liked the fruity-rose idea of Sì and wants it heavier, warmer and more suited to cold nights.
