Impression: Super sweet and clean for the first hour. It instantly reminded me of been kissed on the shoulder and snuggling into a cozy embrace. After one hour(?) it seems to have stabilised on the skin, with a woodsy base. Some distant cassia from the original is suddenly obvious, then lost again, heliotrope is only to develop on clothes, jasmine nowhere to be "smelled". The word “intense” is a little misleading, the projection seems fairly normal. But that’s a plus bc it’s not offensive at all. But I would love if it were a little more beast mode. I’ve had strangers tell me it fills the room and they love it! I get many compliments while wearing this. This is a scent that I can definitely appreciate, but feel it does not suite me. It's slightly alluring, because it gives me a wine-like vibe (pleasant fermented fruits) and there's a warmth that is similar to standing a few feet away from a cozy fire. To me, the benzoin here acts like a sweet and syrupy amber.

When I first read about this perfume, I thought it would be an enhanced, stronger version of the original “Si”. The case is not as such though. It may feel richer than the original 'Si" but, I believe this is only the initial reaction to the fragrance.

Yes... it is still sweeter than EDT BUT became woodier, more aromatic than when I just received it. So I guess it just needed some time to cool down from being shaken up during the delivery. It projects well and lasts 12 hours easily. I sprayed my scarf with it and can still smell it a week later. On skin it eventually turns into a skin scent but projects for quite a while beforehand. After armani reformulated Sì its been a shadow of its former self, nice, mildly sweet, but overall underwhelming. This new intense is very similar to the reformulation but smells like Sì EDP's more glamorous expensive older sister. If Sì EDP is the everyday, Sì intense is the night. I think it's safe to say this is my favourite version of Si, quite a significant improvement on the original. As soon as I saw davana listed as on of the notes I had to buy it - I tend to love everything that contains davana. Although this note is not the most prominent one in the composition, I'm still glad I blind bought it. this reminds me of the discontinued estée lauder modern muse le rouge, to my nose this type of scent is “sharp” and pleasant. love it.

Not sure if that one was a limited edition i.e. seasonal release, as Primark is known for short-term 'fragrances', but if you can find it, I would say it's a 98% clone. Si Intense is not a perfume you wear when you're running errands. This is a perfume you wear when you're feeling bold, assertive and need a confidence boost. I feel like a powerful entity when I wear this perfume, but it really suits my mum, who is definitely the matriarch of this family. (Don't tell my father I said that...) Si Intense as a concept is more than fine. It has its place under the sun. The flacon is perfection actualized. So sophisticated. The potion is inoffensive and clean even if sweet. Safe blind-buy. The sweetness featured here is very respectable. It is not bubble-gummy or sugary even with all the fruit. Far better than the fairly recent L'Interdit monstrosity. Si Intense has also now been discontinued, so you can nowadays easily grab a bottle on the discount like I did. Now two hours later it's barely even a skin scent so for you who've heard that this is a projecting scent with long sillage, I'm sorry but it just doesn't deliver this way.Third day having this bottle and I have to say, I don’t smell that uninteresting smell I got initially when I sprayed it. It’s a sweet scent and I do love it to be very honest. It’s a beautiful scent and a beautiful bottle.

This is a beautiful, light, work appropriate fragrance. The projection is very soft. In fact, when I first sprayed it on a card, I only smelled alcohol followed by a light musk. I could hardly smell anything really. So at first I was super disappointed in this blind buy. One of my favorite perfumes, and the one that feels the most "like me". I dare say, if I were to be crazy enough to commit to a signature scent, this might be it. The drydown of Si Passione smells like a generic fruity-vanilla poureé, soft and light on the skin, sheer, almost untraceable and barely lasting three hours, let's not discuss projection. On clothes it behaves better, I must admit. There is something super sensual about the notes that are coming through. It is a feminine sweetness which I think is the floral of the jasmine, thoroughly supported by sensual , comforting musk , and woodiness. A luxurious sexiness without feeling pretentious.The patchouli is so nice here, its clean and to me this fragrance is more of a fruitchouli than a cypre fruity but yes can be both.
