Refined, elegant, strict, but chic ... What are we talking about? About Si fragrances from Giorgio Armani fashion house. A bright novelty in the fall of 2013 is still among the top best-selling perfumes, and this says a lot. First of all, about the success and love of customers.
As the “father” of aromas himself said, Si perfume is a celebration of femininity, worship of a 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 devoted the fragrance to a modern woman. So what is she, the 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! She dreams, loves, commits little frenzy and completely accepts herself for who she is? Yes, that's all she is. But at the same time, the woman is not a frivolous coquette, but a confident, successful and intelligent lady. She knows her worth and is proud of herself. She is strong, sensual and not afraid to live in the present.
Face Si
For the advertising campaign, Cate Blanchett was invited. She, according to Giorgio Armani, personifies the real woman Si. Despite the age of the actress - she was over 40 - she was entrusted with shooting in a video and a photo session. The choice was the right one. Kate on the screen and pictures is elegant and at the same time sexy, without vulgarity and vulgarity. She is independent and self-confident. As befits a heroine Si.
Aroma Description Si EDP
The flagship of the entire Si line. The fragrance matches its heroine. It is equally ambiguous and rich, a little like a classic perfume from Giorgio Armani. Despite? that Si spirits are declared as chypre, in fact it is a wood-oriental composition. Saturated, sparkling, but at the same time elegant and delicate. With courageous woody notes, but at the same time indescribably feminine. The fragrance envelops the skin with a weightless veil of sensuality, not drowning out the natural smell, but rather emphasizing it.
Si perfume is revealed by a combination of crispy blackcurrant leaves, playful mandarin and sophisticated, refined bergamot.
True femininity is hidden in the heart: notes of a delicate May rose, fragrant Egyptian jasmine and mysterious neroli. The chypre base sounds as the final chords: shades of wood giving the aroma strength and astringency, amber, musk, patchouli and - unexpectedly - vanilla. Vanilla bursts into this tartly courageous composition, introducing a sweetness that is organically woven into a bouquet. Musk is used to create aroma synthetic.
Si intense
New in 2014, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Armani fashion house. The heroine is still a modern woman: daring, decisive, vibrant and infinitely feminine. The aroma has become heavier, as the name implies, it is more suitable for fall-winter.
The top notes are still dominated by the citrus aromas of mandarin and bergamot, but the leaves of blackcurrant are supplemented with berries, which gives great depth and sensuality.
A chypre accord opens in the heart, complemented by osmanthus flowers, wormwood, the essence of the May rose and, of course, neroli and patchouli.
The base fascinates with a dizzying trail: benzoin, spruce resin, synthetic musk and patchouli.
Perfume Si Intense is not just persistent, they are very persistent. A few zilch is enough for the whole day.
Si edt
New in 2015 - Si Eau de Toilette by Giorgio Armani. The aroma is thin, light, seductive. Less saturated than perfume water, but equally persistent. Floral and sparkling, chypre.
Eau de toilette opens with exciting notes of blackcurrant liqueur and fragrant pear. Bergamot and mandarin overshadow them. The initial notes are smoothly replaced by floral chords (rose and freesia are clearly audible) and neroli. The base sounds sensual musk, patchouli, vanilla and amber.
The author of the fragrances was Christine Nagel, a guest perfumer from the famous Mane house. Armani was not mistaken 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 opens on the skin and turns into a slightly powdery veil with a slight bitterness.
Perfumes Si Giorgio Armani are very persistent, hold almost the whole day, gradually revealing new facets.
Design and release form
The Si EDP bottle is very different from previous creations of the Armani perfumery house. Strict, minimalistic form without any decor elements. Simplicity and elegance, eye-catching and asking for hands.
The ascetic prism of the bottle, which stores the golden treasure, is decorated with an unusual cap. As if having absorbed the mystery of the night, it gently flickers with a muffled light and somehow resembles a luxurious black pearl. The unusual shape is emphasized by a massive golden ring. The bottom of the bottle is golden, reflecting a lot of glare. Simple but luxurious at the same time.
Design Si Intense
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.
Toilet water Si
The design of eau de toilette follows the shape of perfumery. All the same, already branded, strict bottle and an unusual lid with a gold ring. But, as if emphasizing the ease of composition, a cap of delicate beige and pink tones. Like the first touches of the sun to the skin.
All flavors are available in three volumes: 30, 50 and 100 ml. There is a bath line, which includes
body lotion and
shower gel (both 200 ml each).
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 for Si Giorgio Armani perfumes varies from 3650 rubles for the toilet version, 4050 for the perfumery and 4460 for the most intense for 30 milliliters. 50 ml will cost an order of magnitude more expensive: eau de toilette - 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 the 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 global brands do not produce toilet water in the form of pens, which means that this is a clear fake.
Most large perfume and cosmetics stores (Rive Gauche, Ille de Beaute, Letual, for example) often hold various events where you can buy your favorite perfume for a reasonable price. For example, on Si (perfume), the price of Letual during the period of the shares may be reduced by half. And if you can find a kit, then it will become a very profitable purchase: in addition to water, you will receive a bonus 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 zilch, the quintessence of taste and harmony, but to someone it seems too artificial and banal. There is an opinion that the classic Si is somewhat elusively reminiscent of La vie est belle and the Manifesto. Perhaps this is due to the wave of sweet smells. In any case, before making a decision, you need to listen to the aroma, feel it on your own skin and allow it to fully open. This is the only way to understand whether it suits you or not. Trust first of all precisely your feelings and only then someone's reviews.
