Si Giorgio Armani

Si Giorgio Armani

I can assure you that Si by Giorgio Armani’s house is ideal if you’re looking for a sweet-rosy scent for yourself.

The first note you’ll notice after spraying is a berry-like cassis note. Rose appears after a while, although it is an important component of the scent. The first several minutes are really heavy and syrupy.

Another magical moment occurs in the middle, when the rose becomes more dominant and vanilla enters with a firm base.
