I got this 100 mill bottle of EDP for a present The bottle is a heavy glass with a tall oblong type shape with smooth edges it's very nice to hold, and inside the glass is another deep black area containing this scent, (in other words the glass is very thick and clear around the darker part of the bottle ) with a sweet crystal type lid. Very nice to hold and use and the push top squirt thing gives a good puff of fragrance. This reminds me of a spicy deep currant wine ah like a deep merlot
First note to hit me is A hint of light floral mixed with orange quite sweet not a sickly sweet though A very seductive and soft middle note just yummy it's bergamot spice and wood what's not to like
The end result comes into it own within maybe half an hour of putting this on, I’m left with a heavy woody fragrance splashed with a hint of lime spice and vanilla. Seduction at its best this is a heavy fragrance but not thick and heady. Reminds me of a log fire that's died down and just smouldering embers glowing and releasing a woody peppery scent in autumn when the air is still crisp and still has that bite of citrus freshness to it with some vanilla and bergamot tea stewing slowly away. Sexy and seductive not only in fragrance the bottle is as well, this lasts me all day, but I I can't smell it myself after a couple of hours and I tend to top up, I always get complements when I wear this and so help me I'm like a woman on fire wearing this, I'm like get out of the way girls I'll show you how it's done and that's priceless This fragrance has knocked my number one favourite into second place I think it's a great price for a quality perfume
After working with fragrance for a few years, there were many satisfying moments when customers would 'click' with a fragrance. I truly believe there is a fragrance (or five) out there for everyone, that makes you feel warm, happy and fuzzy on the inside. When you find that fragrance, it makes your confidence shoot up and you feel that you can conquer the world. After leaving high end fragrances behind, I was still yet to find my fragrance. I had started to fall in love with the original Armani Si, but there was just something that stopped me from calling it my fragrance.
Out of curiosity, I tried on the Armani Si Intense in store. It is beautiful. Powerful. Sensual. It is classy yet still sexy, fruity with the perfect amount of sweetness. The blackcurrant is definite, alongside what I would describe as apricot and teeny, tiny bit of vanilla. For me, this fragrance clicked. So much so that I did not even hesitate to purchase a 100ml size. This will be my signature scent for a very long time.
This fragrance makes me feel like I can conquer an entire weeks To Do List. I swear it physically improves my appearance, or at least makes me hold my head higher. I wear one spray for daytime, or two for the evening and it lasts at least 8 hours, and lingers longer. It is more powerful than the original. It isn't a typically pretty bottle, but it is the epitome of class, and it is sturdy so has been perfect for travelling.
Tips: If you were drawn towards the original scent, it is certainly well worth trying the Intense.
