Sienna 72

Sienna 72 goes after one of the most-copied fragrances of the last decade, Giorgio Armani's Si, and gets the hardest part right: the syrupy blackcurrant-nectar opening layered with rose de mai and freesia is a close match to the real thing, and it's genuinely the most recognisable part of both fragrances. Where Sienna 72 diverges is the base. Si is famous for settling into a warm, vanilla-and-ambroxan drydown that keeps the whole composition sweet and modern; this dupe swaps that out for patchouli and oakmoss, pulling the finish in a drier, more classically chypre direction. The result smells like Si for the first hour, then drifts into something a little different - not necessarily worse, but not a faithful match either. Worth trying if you like the opening and don't mind a mossier finish.
