Giorgio Armani Si Passione Eclat de Parfum - Voted one of 2022 best new fragrances

Si Passione Eclat De Parfum by Giorgio Armani for women was launched in 2022 and created by Julie Masse.

This Floral Fruity fragrance has Notes of  Black Currant, Calabrian bergamot; May Rose, Damask Rose; White Musk & Madagascar Vanilla.

This luminous fragrance, which belongs to the rosy floral family, combines many ingredients of sustainable and responsible origin. It opens with sparkling notes of bergamot harvested sustainably in the Italian region of Calabria, offering a fresh, juicy hesperide note crafted for Giorgio Armani. It blends with a blackcurrant chord that reveals a new green and crunchy interpretation of this signature fruit from the Si fragrances. Two captivating notes of rose are at the heart of the fragrance: the Centifolia rose, picked by hand in the Grasse region of France, gives the note a soft and powdery effect, which blends with a lemony facet and a subtle peppery touch. At the same time, the rose of Damascus, harvested through sustainable and responsible processes in Isparta, the "capital of roses" in Turkey, hints at the feminine and characterful dimensions of the flower. In the background, white musk brings purity, sweetness, and sensuality to the fragrance, while Madagascar's exceptional vanilla Bourbon infusion from a sustainable and responsible program to help local communities exudes a comforting warmth. both spicy and addictive. The scent of the fragrance is fresh and light while remaining soft and enveloping. Perfumer of the composition is Julie Masse.

REVIEWS

Fragrantica - this became my favourite Si flanker with the first sniff. That fresh rose is SO REFRESHING it's like an actual breeze as one of the reviews said. I love the effect of the musk in this perfume

Fragrantica - Gosh, I just love this line. Elcat is the fruitiest and lightest of the bunch. I totally get grapefruit in both this one and the original, though its not a listed note. Though the original is warmer with vanilla, the Elcat could definitely pass for a summer fragrance. Its subtly sexy. Both layer well together. Simply intoxicating.

Fragrantica - A fruitier, fresher version of Si with a feminine, musky dry down. I don't like the original Passione so it was a surprise I liked this one.

Fragrantica - Woohoo! This is a bright, fun, beautiful scent that smells like expensive shampoo. The currant is wonderfully present and the rose is fresh expressive. It is light, an easy reach, and perfect for everyday wear. 

Fragrantica - This opens bright and luminous. It has a strong rose but not the old rose from the 80s, it's a modern rose. It smells really good! It is fresh, vibrant and smells clean. It still has the Armani Si DNA with the black currant, but it is the rose that dominates this fragrance. It has a hint of vanilla in the dry down but it is not as sweet as Si. Unlike the Si Passione which disappears almost immediately on my skin, this lasts a good 8 hrs on me - I do about 6-8 sprays all over my skin. It has good projection but not overpowering. I love it!! Get this over Si Passione! It is a much better buy in my opinion.

Fragrantica - Never say never!!! I thought that Armani perfumes like Versace ones weren't for me but this morning I came across Armani passion eclat and ...... Beautiful.
There are periods that I am passionate about honey perfumes, then I pass and I prefer those with tuberose, etc. .... Now it's time for the roses. And I found in this eclat passion a perfume with a note of dusty and musky rose made greedy by a black currant that is a marvel.
It reminds me a little of the musky roses of Montale's perfumes, but yes eclat I see it more elegant less opulent and it does not shout but whispers and makes itself feel good all the same.
