Armani Si Review

Love this perfume. I am forever getting compliments when I wear it. Smell seems to last all day long.

While shopping one day I had no intention of buying a perfume but I love Armani diamonds and asked if I could have a sniff of Si and as they say the rest is history.. I brought the 30ml bottle for around $110

The bottle is pretty simple it's rectangular shape with Si printed in black writing, the black lid almost reminds me of a little flame.

On first spray I can't really get 1 note that I'm familiar with just a tart sweetness, but after a minute I start to get hints of rose and patchouli with a hint of vanilla. After about half an hour I can still smell the rose, vanilla and patchouli but I can now smell woody notes in the mix. This perfume lasts all day and even scents clothes after they have been washed.

This perfume is quite sweet and warming it's not really that different to flower bomb and La Vie Est Belle. Maybe a wee bit creamier but I can smell the similarities, there is nothing really wowing or mystical, it doesn't make me want to wear it 24/7. I had been enjoying it when I first purchased it but now after 1/3 of a bottle I'm kind of over it. It is nice and I am probably just being really fussy. I think it would suit both young and mature ladies

I had yet to find my ultimate favorite perfume, until I stumbled across this in a Sephora in the states before it had been released in NZ.

Now I'm no perfume connoisseur so I can't tell you about the 'undertones' etc, however, in my personal preference this perfume was the combination of all the right smells. It had a hint of floral yet wasn't too over powering or sweet and if it's possible for a perfume to smell sophisticated and classy... this one does.

It's a beautiful scent, in a stunning bottle... although it's definitely on the higher end of the price spectrum, it's well worth it in my opinion.

I received Si as a 2016 Christmas gift and with regular use from June 2017 I finished it this month - I LOVE IT. The bottle is asthetically pleasing with its solid glass frame and black plastic weighted lid. It's simplicity at its finest.

I had previously tried this in-store and didn't warm to it because the initial scent was rather pungent to the point that I could only detect the smell of chemically spicy alcohol. Just give it a few minutes to work its magic - if the chemistry is right you may be able to detect a beautiful blend of sweet florals mixed with a good dose of woodsy notes.

The lasting power is great I can still catch a good whiff of it after 8 hours of work. This bottle can last so much longer than the 7 months I used it but I love it so much I was spraying more than I needed to.

If you love perfumes like Lancome La Vie Est Belle and Tresor I think you may start to love Si just as much. The price point is less than favourable with 100ml retailing for $230 however seeing that it's an ultimate favourite I would repurchase but I would also consider the gift sets which are cheaper.

If this perfume was a person, it'd be a mature business-woman in a black pencil skirt with a little fitted blazer. It's sweet with a bit of spice and lots of depth. This instantly drew my attention when I smelled it at a perfume sale, and I knew I had to get it.

The bottle is simple yet elegant, just like the perfume itself. There's a tiny bit of flowers hidden inside this sweet concoction and also maybe cinnamon? It's quite a strong perfume, so definitely go light when you're spraying it. The lasting power is amazing, I can often smell it on my clothes days later.

Overall a beautiful perfume, if only it wasn't so expensive I wouldn't be so stingy about using it!
