Sì Intense 2021 is a rich, syrupy, and deeply sensual fragrance that builds on the DNA of the original Armani Si but with a darker, more concentrated profile. It opens with a pronounced burst of juicy blackcurrant syrup, which gives an immediately indulgent and indulgent effect. This fades into a warm, floral-amber heart where Turkish rose and benzoin meld into a soft, vanillic sweetness, fleshed out by davana’s aromatic freshness and patchouli’s earthy depth. The dry down is thick and cozy, with a sweet, ambery patchouli base that lingers deeply on skin and clothing. The fragrance is most resonant in colder months and is ideal for evening wear, particularly when a bold, confident presence is desired. Its performance is exceptional—long-lasting with strong sillage—though some find the sweetness overwhelming, and its creamy, almost confectionery character may be too gourmand for those preferring restraint. Despite these polarizing qualities, the composition is well-blended and feels refined, earning it praise as one of the best flankers in the Si lineup.
