Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Si EDT
This EDT flanker is a divisive one, splitting opinion between those who find it a lighter, fresher take on the original, and those who feel it loses the EDP's magic, becoming generic. It's discontinued now, much to the chagrin of its ardent fans.

Our Verdict - Si EDP
The Essence Vault's interpretation of Armani's Si (2013) - Christine Nagel's blackcurrant-rose-patchouli chypre-leaning feminine that defined a new sophisticated mainstream signature, here translated into a budget reading with the blackcurrant-rose-patchouli spine still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening and date wear.
