Blossom Perfumery 242 Sii is an Eau de Parfum. 242 Sii opens with Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Rose and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Woody, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Ambroxan. Blossom Perfumery's 242 Sii carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

No. 242 borrows Armani Si's signature blackcurrant-rose-vanilla-ambroxan formula almost note-for-note, but the ambroxan drydown feels thinner and shorter-lived than the original's plush, long-running woody-chypre base.

About

No. 242 leans directly on Giorgio Armani's Si, opening with the same juicy blackcurrant nectar that anchors the original's fruity-chypre identity. Rose and freesia carry the heart with a soft floral sophistication, tracking Si's blueprint closely. The base of vanilla, woody notes, ambroxan and patchouli reaches for the original's plush, blonde-wood sensuality, but the ambroxan reads noticeably lighter here and the whole composition sits closer to the skin with a shorter overall lifespan. Still, the blackcurrant-rose-vanilla arc is instantly recognisable, making this a fair daytime alternative for anyone chasing Si's confident, graceful character without its extended staying power.
