Which Should 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.
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.
