Ginza Intense Eau de Parfum vs Sì Intense 2021 Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This one's a slow burner. Generic and a bit samey to start, but give it time and Ginza Intense opens up into a gorgeous, sophisticated fruity rose that many consider a solid crowd-pleaser for its balanced sweetness and wearability. Others will probably just call it boring.
A syrupy, jammy upgrade to the original Sì, this Intense version delivers a deeper, richer blackcurrant and rose experience. While many rave about its sophistication and beast-mode performance, some find the patchouli and sweetness overwhelming.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
