How does the 2021 Sì Intense compare to the original Sì Eau de Parfum?+−
While both share the signature blackcurrant DNA, the 2021 Intense version is deeper, creamier, and more resinous. It swaps some of the lighter floral aspects for a heavier base of benzoin and davana, making it feel more substantial and better suited for cold weather.
Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
It can be worn in a professional setting if applied sparingly, but its strong sillage and sweet, fruity profile are generally considered better suited for leisure, evening events, or dates where a more "bold" presence is welcomed.
Does Sì Intense (2021) have good longevity?+−
Yes, the community consensus points to excellent longevity, typically lasting between 8 to 10 hours on the skin. It is often cited as a "high-performance" fragrance that does not require frequent reapplication.
Is this a good choice for a blind gift?+−
It is a strong candidate for someone who loves sweet, fruity, and "jammy" rose fragrances. However, because the blackcurrant nectar note is quite potent and "thick," it may be polarizing for those who prefer fresh, light, or aquatic scents.
