Pretty in Pink

How it Smells

Pretty in Pink aims for the polished sophistication of Armani's Sì, and it gets respectably close – I'd say about 90%. The opening is a blast of that characteristic cassis, maybe a touch sharper and more synthetic than the original, but still juicy and inviting. The heart delivers a floral sweetness, the rose and freesia offering a pleasant, albeit slightly simpler, bouquet. It lacks the nuanced depth that Si possesses. The dry down leans heavily on vanilla and patchouli. The woody notes are more of a suggestion than a statement.

Final Thoughts

If you adore Si but can't justify the price tag, Pretty in Pink is a viable option. It captures the essence of the original, making it perfect for everyday wear when you want to project an image of poised femininity. It’s not quite as refined, lacking the depth and complexity. But if you're on a budget, Pretty in Pink gets you close enough to the vibe for a steal.

Longevity & Projection

The projection is moderate. You'll leave a noticeable trail for the first hour or so, before settling closer to the skin. Longevity is decent; I got about 5-6 hours of noticeable wear. Not bad point. It does have a slightly linear trajectory.
