I have Si Intense 2021 and Si intense 2023. I think they smell quite different. I have never smelled the original Si. But to me Si Intense 2023 smells like a stronger version of Si Fiori. I also own Si Fiori. I find Intense 23 a bit easier to wear than Intense 21. But I find Intense 21 to be a more interesting fragrance. Probably because I felt like I already owned Intense 23, because it smells so much like Fiori.
I discovered the black si intense from a friend I'd met while living in the UAE in 2015. I absolutely fell in love and it's been my favorite perfume ever since. I always get compliments when I wear it. It also bring back so many memories and nostalgia when I smell it.
Im a huge Si fan and own most of the flankers (apart from the Passione line which I don't like). The Si 2023 Intense is the birghtes in terms of fruitiness of all the Intense flankers. It's not listed but I get am almost peach note or something whereas the others are definitely blackcurrant. I think the new one is nice, it's got more vanilla than the other Intense versions which were either amber or patchouli based. But to me it's more of a day time all weather appropriate fragrance whereas the older versions were heavier and more night time leaning. I wish they had called this eau fraiche or something as it's not particularly intense.
I don't think it's more sustainable to have a plastic refill bottle, glass is more environmentally friendly since plastic turns eventually into micro plastics.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't understand the logic that buying plastic refill is better for the environment. At the end of the day you just empty the plastic bottle and put it in the bin 🤔
@@strawberryfields81Correct, I afraid with screw bottle the alcohol and others ingredients just easily gone or oxidized. But did you notice the oily layer when you spray Intense 2023 on your skin? I think they formulated this version special for the refill things
Yeah, why they don't use glass bottle like Chanel's refill perfume. Chanel has also 50ml refill bottle for their No 5 and they use glass, simple rectangular glass bottle with its own sprayer. You can carry the refill in your purse and still classy.
My favourite is Si eau de parfum intense (2023). On my skin, the dry down is so beautiful with a Woody Vanilla ❤ it reminds me of La Belle le parfum by JPG intense and Intense Café by Montale ❤
Ah so timely ❣Thank you for this review. I received a sample of this version of Sì last weekend and I am really enjoying the scent. It is so feminine and comforting. Loved to hear your thoughts on it and the comparison with other versions.
I have waited for this review, thank you 🙏🏻. I’ve got the original and I’m almost done with the 2021 version. I’ve tested the new version and I can notice some difference, on me it falls pretty vanillary and I enjoy it. But I can totally share your thought on the lasting power, the original lasts so much better. I do not know if it’s worth the high price. I’m on the fence about it because of the performance.
Si Intense Black is my favorite, its like a dark wine or blackberry brandy with earthy Patchouli, 21 is very syrupy and thick and tonka bean heavy, this new version is bright and fruity but stronger than original Si, with a soapy rose dry down
Is there any chance to still buy the original black one? I've had a sample years ago when it came out and absolutely fell in love. I was still a poor student so I never got to buy an actual bottle. No joke I still think about its smell several times a week.
I stocked up on the black Si Intense and I'm almost out. I've lost my sense of smell so it's hard for me now to buy new fragrances. I don't want to rely on anyone else to tell me if they smell any good. Thanks for the heads up the new Intense isn't the same.
I absolutely love the way you describe these scents! I'm pretty new to your videos, but again, love your interpretation... Was wondering if you have your new perfume for sale? The one I'm wanting is the "remake" of Gucci Flora? I can't wait to purchase that one! Thank you! 🙋🏻💕 Edit: Oh! I did subscribe! ☺️💕
I followed your advice and description and purchased Hypnotic Poison and Sol De Janeiro 71, both amazing and matching my preference, so thank you for giving this service to all of us ❤ + you are so sweet and your videos are a pleasure to watch😊😊
This is my next purchase but the reviews are horrible for the OG passione.. Have you tried the passione intense? Would you recommend the intense over OG?
@@marthakalomba3739 I also read/listened to the reviews and almost changed my mind about the purchase. I sprayed different variants of Si Passione on my hand several times (intense, eclat, OG) and the latter one is the one that convinced me. I recommend multiple testing to make the decision easier. 😀
I found the new Intense version syrupy and sweet. It's sort of smells like wine or a cocktail lol. It would be ok for the Winter, if you like sweet perfumes. I think I prefer the original Armani Si over the new intense version.
i have the si intense 2021 and love this one so much ,recently I tried the new si intense ,but I like the 2021 better maybe because of the benzoine? ❤️
😂😂😂😂.. Am waiting for ypur review too.. You have to have to review this whether you like it or not (borrowed from your channel's intro).. Wish they named it Fiori to make us feel good.. People out here saying it smells like Fiori.. I trust your nose so IL wait for a review
Im so sad about this! Im new to perfumes and found this and loved it so im sad its been discontinued so quickly. Ive smelled the new one and on my it smelt less sweet which i wasnt a fan of. And i love the deepness of the old which i find less in the new
@@SokiLondonReally? Do you think Si Intense gender neutral 😍 I love gender neutral fragrance. Maybe I'm gonna considering to purchase it.. I had use up 2 samples of it (2023 version) and only get the impression for ladies. Mature, serious, conventional lady.. which I like. But now you said gender neutral made this even more interesting 😘 Thanksss
I've tested both as I have them both. One on each hand and I can honestly say the new intense lasted longer than the 2021. The 2021 was stronger in the beginning smell but the 2023 lasted longer on my skin. I wonder if a particular batch made the difference? 🤔
Horrible? 🤣🤣 I have both and I find the old version very sweet. Lovely but VERY sweet. The new one I think is a blend of Si and Si Fiori. Beautiful in its own way. Intriguing 🤔
""The scent hasnt change that much""....what? The scent is totally different! It was a blackcurrant-rose scent with benzoin and now it is a simple vanilla scent. It smells totally different and it is so messed up.
No you dont understand how much i NEED the old pink si one FIORI SI , i just cant find any perfume I’ve spent thousands over the two years on perfumes!!!! The new versions are nothing like the pink one. Please help meh
@@sobean9309 I know the EU introduced a bunch of new banned ingredients so maybe the original formula had one one of those in - it’s impossible to know really without testing in a lab :)

Also I think it’s not good when you can screw it up- air gets into the bottle and it goes off faster.

I blind bought at 30% off during armani sale. Passion eclat had been my favorite tho.
2021 version is way better than this year one in my opinion 🤔

Great video, si intense 2021 is great for fall and winter. Excited about this new one, tested it ones and it smelled very beautiful as well.

I loooove the eclat version, such a juicy rose 🌹
Thank you ladies for your reply.. Sadly I can only blind buy because I live very far from malls to go testing.. IL start with the OG
@@marthakalomba3739 I think of doing that too. It's winter here now, else I would probably go for the Passione.

Soki, what is the lightest Armani si perfume they make.
Hello, Sophie! I have tried it out and in my personal opinion, it is the best SI. :-)
is this perfume headache inducing?
Hi Soki please do you have an app in the UK equivalent to Mecari?
Let’s fast forward to 300 perfume videos later - I see your profile and your smile on unsuspected youtubers 🎶🎵
So they can't find a new name?
😂😂😂😂.. Am waiting for ypur review too.. You have to have to review this whether you like it or not (borrowed from your channel's intro).. Wish they named it Fiori to make us feel good.. People out here saying it smells like Fiori.. I trust your nose so IL wait for a review
@@marthakalomba3739 I don't want it.
@@OpinionatedScentsWhy don't you want it?
@@christinebianchine1187 I have too many flankers of Si....I don't need another. I'm trying to dwindle down. I might go test it in store
@@OpinionatedScents I understand! I'd love to know your favorite if you can test it in store! I treasure your reviews!❤️
How does patchouli smells like?
its sweet!
Im so sad about this! Im new to perfumes and found this and loved it so im sad its been discontinued so quickly. Ive smelled the new one and on my it smelt less sweet which i wasnt a fan of. And i love the deepness of the old which i find less in the new
Oh no!
It’s on sale at Macys, half the price.
I still miss Sensi. I wish I knew of something similar. 😢
Have you tried Armani Terra Di Gioia ? It has some similarities although there will never be another Sensi .
Which One is the Most feminine? And which less Green?
Neither is green. Maybe the new version is slightly more feminine but personally I think these are gender neutral
@@SokiLondonReally? Do you think Si Intense gender neutral 😍 I love gender neutral fragrance. Maybe I'm gonna considering to purchase it..

The new Si Intense is HORRIBLE!! The 2021 version is MILES better! I ensured to stock up on the 2021 version.
I totally agree. 😊
Horrible? 🤣🤣 I have both and I find the old version very sweet. Lovely but VERY sweet. The new one I think is a blend of Si and Si Fiori. Beautiful in its own way. Intriguing 🤔
@@staceyblessyn224 I agree
""The scent hasnt change that much""....what? The scent is totally different! It was a blackcurrant-rose scent with benzoin and now it is a simple vanilla scent. It smells totally different and it is so messed up.
I heard benzoin also kinda vanilla thing..
@@esthapribadi4367 No, it is a resin, it smells earthy, woody. Maybe you are thinking of haba tonka...
Si 23 is more wearable than 21, tho 21 is amazing too. Definitely worth having both as a collector 😍👌xx
No you dont understand how much i NEED the old pink si one FIORI SI , i just cant find any perfume I’ve spent thousands over the two years on perfumes!!!! The new versions are nothing like the pink one. Please help meh
Indeed. I am scared to use up my bottle 😢
Why name two different the very same thing. You are bound to get the wrong one. I think I will settle with the first intense version.
The first one is discontinued 🙃
@@SokiLondon do you know why they reformulated it? Do you think the 2023 version could also be discontinued?
