The review
Si scores 6.3 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Si.
The Essence Vault sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Si's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $32 per 100ml it costs 74% less than Si — the cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Essence Vault publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Giorgio Armani Si is black currant, bergamot and mandarin orange at first, rose, freesia and may rose at its heart and vanilla, patchouli and Ambroxan at the end. The Essence Vault set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- black currant
- bergamot
- mandarin orange
Heart
- rose
- freesia
- may rose
Base
- vanilla
- patchouli
- Ambroxan
Blackcurrant nectar and rose over creamy vanilla patchouli, polished and modern.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
