Armani: his new Giorgio Armani eau de parfum intense is an unconditional lover of women. This is why, for many years now, he has continued to pay tribute to them. It is precisely for them that he created the fragrance Si in 2013, and Si Passione in 2017, as an ode to femininity and its many faces.
A true ode to femininity for many years, Si has continually made headlines. It is the perfect embodiment of Armani's style and its innate sense of luxury and sensuality. Once or several times a year, Si reappears in a new form and reveals to us different personalities of the woman it embodies. This time, in 2020, it becomes the symbol of a fiery and untamable personality. It presents itself as Si Passione Intense, a name that suggests an infinitely vibrant and languorous fragrance. So, does the result live up to that promise? Here is our review of Si Passione Intense.

An intense red bottle that speaks volumes about the power of this fragrance
Let us begin with the discovery of the Si Passione Intense bottle. In terms of silhouette, Si Passione Intense follows exactly the same shape as its predecessors. Thus, it dares contrasts that oppose everything, mixing a rectangular glass base with a much rounder, opaque bottle. To recall all the luxury of the house of Armani, a few golden details appear here and there. But that is not where the real novelty and full power of this visual lie. In reality, Si Passione Intense opts for an intense red color that speaks volumes about its vibrations. A symbol of power, danger, temptation and determination, red is a color that was not chosen at random. Here, it is omnipresent, appearing just as much on its glass bottle as on its cardboard box or on the dress worn by Cate Blanchett in the advertisement for this fragrance. Unquestionably, Si Passione Intense presents itself as a fragrance intended for women of strong temperament, unafraid to make themselves heard, without lacking elegance.
Si Passione Intense, a fragrance rich in highly luxurious ingredients
As you will have understood, Si Passione Intense is a powerful fragrance that does not forget the highly luxurious spirit of the Italian brand. This is precisely how the recipe created by perfumer Julie Masse was conceived. Everything begins with a fruity burst of blackcurrant, a small nod to the signature sillage of the very first version of Si. Note also that it is one of the only fruits that can be directly distilled. Thanks to it, Si Passione Intense immediately reveals itself as very animalic, bitter and tangy, directly opening the way to strong sensuality. Then, jasmine lights up the heart of Si Passione Intense, revealing to us a fragrance with a sun-kissed aura and explosive femininity. Gradually, vanilla comes to wrap it all in a smooth and exotic breath. Here again, Armani opts for one of the most luxurious ingredients in the entire perfumer's palette. Finally, this essence ends with a woody, well-structured breath of patchouli. Thanks to it, Si Passione Intense gains in persistence and its longevity remains exceptional for many hours. Undeniably, the challenge is met and fulfills all our expectations!
