Which Should You Buy?
This one's a shape-shifter. Initially a sharp blast of fruit and rose, it mellows into a creamy vanilla dream on skin. Expect comparisons with LVEB, though some say it's nowhere close. Definitely one to try on skin before you buy.
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Giorgio Armani's Si (2013) - the Christine Nagel cassis-rose-patchouli chypre feminine that became Armani's defining modern signature, here translated into a cassis-mandarin opening over may rose and a patchouli-vanilla close. Honest dupe-fidelity for daytime and date wear at a fraction of the designer price.
