Si Passione

Si Passione by Giorgio Armani is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2017 in the designer price tier. It opens with blackcurrant, pear and grapefruit, moves into damask rose, jasmine and heliotrope and dries down to vanilla, patchouli and cedarwood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.

Heart

Damask Rose The rich, jammy, honeyed rose. Deep and slightly wine-like.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Heliotrope Almond, vanilla and powder. Smells like marzipan and old-fashioned makeup.

Dry-down

Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
