Si Intense

Giorgio Armani Si Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Si Intense opens with Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Rose and Davana, and dries down to a base of Tea and Vanilla. Giorgio Armani's Si Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This flanker polarises like a marmite sandwich - a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Some laud its juicy, vanilla-rich evolution, while others lament a perceived loss of the original's character, dismissing it as generic and powdery. If you’re into syrupy blackcurrant with a vanilla hug and less of the original's woody edge, give it a go.

Its intensity and strong projection in the initial hours make it less ideal for a close-quarters office, though many still wear it there. However, its sophisticated, warm, and sweet character is spot-on for dates and cooler-weather casual wear, and can easily be dressed up for formal events.

About

Si Intense 2023 bursts open with a syrupy blackcurrant that’s tart yet sweet, reminiscent of rich jam. This bold fruitiness soon intertwines with a soft, jammy rose, avoiding any 'old-fashioned' vibes. As it mellows, a deep, bourbon vanilla takes centre stage, creamy and luxurious, often with a delicate powdery veil. A subtle black tea note adds a whisper of greenness, keeping the sweetness from becoming cloying, though some detect a lingering bitter dryness or even a metallic hint beneath the fruit and vanilla facade.
