Refined, elegant, austere yet chic… What are we talking about? About Si fragrances by Giorgio Armani fashion house. The bright novelty of autumn 2013 is still in the top of the best-selling perfumes, and this says a lot. First of all, about the success and love of customers.
As the “father” of fragrances himself said, Si perfume is a celebration of femininity, a worship of the combination of fragility and strength, tenderness and independence. This is a kind of "Yes!" impeccable style and timeless elegance.
She says Si
The name of the perfume is translated from Italian as "Yes". The famous master dedicated the fragrance to the modern woman. So what is she, a true woman of our time? Is she charming and confident? Yes.
She is not afraid to give in to her feelings and listens to the voice of her heart? Yes! Does she dream, love, do little crazy things and completely accept herself for who she is? Yes, it's all her. But at the same time, the woman is not a frivolous coquette, but a confident, successful and smart lady. She knows her worth and is proud of herself. She is strong, sensual and not afraid to live in the present.
Face Si
Kate was invited for the advertising campaignBlanchett. It is she who, according to Giorgio Armani, personifies the real woman Si. Despite the age of the actress - she is over 40 - she was entrusted with filming a video and a photo session. The choice turned out to be correct. Kate on the screen and pictures is elegant and at the same time sexy, without vulgarity and vulgarity. She is independent and confident. As befits a heroine Si.
Fragrance description Si EDP
The flagship of the entire Si line. The fragrance matches its heroine. It is just as ambiguous and rich, bearing little resemblance to the classic Giorgio Armani perfume. Despite? that Si perfume is declared as chypre, in fact it is a woody-oriental composition. Rich, sparkling, but at the same time elegant and delicate. With masculine woody notes, but at the same time indescribably feminine. The fragrance envelops the skin in a weightless veil of sensuality, not drowning out the natural smell, but rather emphasizing it.
Si Perfume opens up with a combination of crisp blackcurrant leaves, playful mandarin and subtle, sophisticated bergamot.
True femininity is hidden in the heart: notes of gentle May rose, fragrant Egyptian jasmine and mysterious neroli. The final chords are the chypre base: shades of wood, which gives strength and astringency to the fragrance, amber, musk, patchouli and, unexpectedly, vanilla. Vanilla bursts into this tartly masculine composition, bringing sweetness that is organically woven into the bouquet. The musk used to create the fragrance is synthetic.
Si Intense
New 2014, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the fashion houseArmani. The heroine is still a modern woman: daring, determined, bright and infinitely feminine. The fragrance has become heavier, as can be seen from the name, it is more suitable for autumn-winter.
The top notes are still dominated by the citrus aromas of mandarin and bergamot, but blackcurrant leaves are complemented by berries for more depth and sensuality.
The heart reveals a chypre accord, complemented by osmanthus flowers, mugwort, May rose essence and, of course, neroli and patchouli.
The base captivates with a dizzying trail: benzoin, spruce resin, synthetic musk and patchouli.
Si Intense Perfume is not just persistent, it is very persistent. A few puffs will last all day.
SiEDT
New in 2015 - Giorgio Armani Si Eau de Toilette. The aroma is delicate, light, seductive. Less intense than Eau de Parfum, but just as long-lasting. Floral and sparkling, chypre.
Eau de toilette opens with exciting notes of blackcurrant liqueur and fragrant pear. They are set off by bergamot and mandarin. The initial notes are smoothly replaced by floral chords (rose and freesia are clearly audible) and neroli. The base features sensual musk, patchouli, vanilla and amber woods.
The author of the fragrances is Christine Nagel, a guest perfumer from the famous house Mane. Armani did not make a mistake with the choice of perfumer: Christine managed to create a unique fragrance. Chypre, but at the same time not stuffy, fresh and light, reminiscent of summer and vacation. The floral-fruity composition gradually unfolds on the skin andturns into a slightly powdery, slightly bitter veil.
Si Giorgio Armani Perfume is very persistent, lasts almost all day, gradually revealing new facets.
Design and release form
The bottle of Si EDP is strikingly different from the previous creations of the Armani perfume house. Strict, minimalist form without any decorative elements. Simplicity and elegance that catches the eye and begs to be held.
The ascetic prism of the bottle, which holds a golden treasure, is decorated with an unusual cap. As if having absorbed the secret of the night, it gently flickers with muffled light and is somewhat reminiscent of a luxurious black pearl. The unusual shape is emphasized by a massive gold ring. The bottom of the bottle is golden, reflecting a lot of highlights. Simple yet luxurious.
Si Intense Design
The branded bottle is filled with dark shimmer, it is languid and decoy, like a mystery itself. The glass prism is crowned with a black cap with a gold rim, in the best traditions of the Si line. The bottom, as in perfumery water, is gilded.
Eau de Toilette Si
The design of toilet water repeats the shape of perfume. All the same, which has already become branded, a strict bottle and an unusual cap with a gold ring. But, as if emphasizing the lightness of the composition, a cap of gentle beige-pink tones. Like the first touch of the sun on the skin.
All fragrances are available in three sizes: 30, 50 and 100 ml. There is a bath line, which includes body lotion andshower gel (both 200 ml).
Giorgio Armani Si (perfume): price
The price of Si perfumes will vary depending on their intensity: the more persistent the fragrance, the more expensive it will cost, which is quite logical, given the components used in the composition. On average, the price of Si Giorgio Armani perfume varies from 3650 rubles for the toilet version, 4050 for the perfume version and 4460 for the most intense one for 30 milliliters. 50 ml will cost an order of magnitude more: toilet water - from 5050, perfume from 5650, intensity from 6150. The cost of 100 ml for toilet water is from 7300 rubles, for perfume and intensive version - from 8100 and 8900 rubles, respectively.
The price largely depends on the place of purchase. The better the store, the higher the cost. Therefore, it would be wiser to purchase them not at the top outlet. But this does not mean that it makes sense to buy so-called pens in transitions or perfumes in some dubious online stores. The disappointment from such a purchase will be much stronger. If only because world brands do not produce toilet water in the form of pens, which means that this is a clear fake.
Most of the major perfumery and cosmetics stores ("Rive Gauche", "Ile de Beaute", "Letoile", for example) often hold various promotions where you can buy your favorite perfume for a reasonable price. For example, on Si (perfume), the price of Letual can be halved during the promotion period. And if you manage to find a set, then it will generally be a very profitable purchase: in addition to water, you will receivebonus in the form of body lotion or shower gel.
Reviews
How many people, so many opinions. For some, the fragrance becomes love from the first puff, the quintessence of taste and harmony, while for others it seems too artificial and banal. There is an opinion that the classic Si is somewhat subtly reminiscent of La vie est belle and "Manifesto". Maybe it's because of the wave of sweet smells. In any case, before making a decision, you need to listen to the fragrance, feel it on your own skin and let it fully open up. This is the only way to understand whether it suits you or not. Trust first of all exactly your feelings and only then someone's feedback.
