No.062 Si

No.062 is Eden's alternative to Giorgio Armani Si, one of the most recognisable chypre fruity fragrances of the last decade. The composition opens with a sweet, syrupy wash of blackcurrant that folds gently into rose, mirroring the original's signature contrast of tart fruit against soft florals. Patchouli threads through the heart and into the base, lending an earthy, slightly bitter counterpoint that keeps the sweetness in check, while a generous helping of vanilla builds toward a warm, sensual finish. Where the designer Si layers these elements with real complexity and a distinctive praline-like richness, this vegan reformulation reads flatter and sweeter overall, with the fruity-vanilla accord dominating more than the earthy patchouli undertone. It also fades faster on skin than the original's famously long-lasting formula. Still, for anyone drawn to Si's confident, romantic character but not wanting to spend designer prices, this captures the core blackcurrant-rose-vanilla idea well enough for everyday wear, layering nicely under a coat for autumn and winter evenings, dates, or smart office days.
