Sì Intense

Sì Intense by Giorgio Armani is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2014 in the designer price tier. It opens with bergamot, mandarin, blackcurrant and freesia, moves into rose and davana and dries down to benzoin and patchouli. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Freesia Crisp, slightly peppery floral. Clean and a bit synthetic in a good way.

Heart

Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Davana Odd and gorgeous — apricot jam, rum and dried herbs at once.

Dry-down

Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
