Giorgio Armani – Sensi Eau de Parfum
An alluring haze that draws people in.
Kaffir lime, almond, jasmine and benzoin resin blended to create an aura that’s warm, pleasantly sweet and extremely comforting.
Sadly, like many tasteful perfumes from the past, this one has been discontinued. Oh well, such is life.
igrek_62 – :
How I would love to get my hands on a kaffir lime! Sensi is one of those scents with the rice/PlayDoh/milky/almond note, my first, and I am always in search of more. Who knew lime and almond could smell so good together.
Long ago, I sprayed various scents on at the department store counter and kept smelling one but forgot which it was. I had to go back to the store to put the name to the intoxicating scent. I really should have stocked up back then.
This scent seems easy for oil dupe companies to replicate. I use Hayward with success and see another mentioned here I would love to try. I wish Oil Perfumery would do it, but I don’t think they do discontinued scents.
Scents I have loved due to some similarity to Sensi: Cinema d’Ete & Cinema Festival. Regular Cinema is a little too smoky, but the summer versions add citrus. Please suggest more!
Scents with the PlayDoh note: Jennifer Aniston Chapter One, Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, Love’s Baby Soft. Please tell me more.

Sensi does indeed resemble D&G Sicily in the drydown. They share that milky/nutty/heliotrope base. Both are quite heady, making-a-statement kind of fragrances. But I’d say Sensi has a bit more rigid character: it even blends heavenly good with the smell of cigarette smoke (Sicily doesn’t)
Droi – :
The beauty of Sensi is… It smells different with each wearing❤️
What other perfume does this??
I find Sensi INTOXICATING, very feminine & womanly.
I can picture a sophisticated, gorgeous, eye-catching female wearing this..
She has shoulder length hair in curls, with bright red lipstick on 😉
That fury coat looks like luxury, her stockings are black & her heels are loud, she knows how to walk in them!
To me this screams vintage hotels❤️ vintage vases, chandeliers..
Sillage: 3-4 hours.
Longevity: 7 hours.
Simply beautiful..
carmal – :
Oh, creamy, sexy sensi. I savor my once a year wear. She whispers to me, stories of a winter night sky full of stars, sweet vanilla custards, and long sensuous kisses.
Mermq567Negeltzex – :
This and Noa were my late mother’s scents. I was so sad to see it discontinued. I really had to get my hands on it so I found a bottle 1/4 full on the bay for only $12.50!!! I am so happy to receive it today. One spray brought me back to having my mom back here with me. Such a blessing, scent is. The ability for it to bring you into a pleasant memory is such a gift. I’ll cherish this tiny bit I have. Bring it back!!! It’s a beautiful perfume creamy powderiness to it probably from the almond. It really evokes s sense of calm. I really love it so much. Very elegant but not old fashioned. Just a lovely sweet creamy calming fragrance. Well done Armani.
virtlover – :
Sensi is one of few perfumes I feel maniac about. Since the moment it was discontinued I’ve bought numerous bottles (including a fake one – sigh), which will hopefully last me a long while and will save me from fear of running out of this “sensuality in a bottle”. So, in the case of Sense vs Sensuality, my sense totally abandoned me… somehow my money abandoned me too ))
bur173bedyWelty – :
Has anyone ever compared this to Prada Candy the original version? To me it is the next best thing to Sensi? Can’t believe I didn’t discover this sooner!
79522705979 – :
I too found an unopened bottle on EBay in a sealed box, and bought it blind based on the glowing reviews. Batch code is from 2003. It arrived yesterday, and while I don’t know what it’s supposed to smell like, I don’t think it’s supposed to smell like it does. It does smell like it’s turned a bit, which I guess is to be expected after 15 years. A very expensive and disappointing blind buy, which I’m kind of upset with myself about because I should have known better. I now have a very expensive bottle of Sensi which will likely collect dust in my collection. Damn.
Praichheade – :
Wow this is just my cup of tea! The almond scent is glorious and melds flawlessly with the floral notes. I was lucky enough to find this online, I read it was discontinued? This is a shame as this one is very versatile, a comfort smell, sillage and longevity is awesome.
Another Armani favorite!
dis441speagoessenda – :
I join my voice to Mysents’, please give it back to us and pick up the nth flanker of something, anything already on the market instead
jxt183speagoessenda – :
Thanks to Katie.cp, I have a bottle of vintage Sensi (NOT-reformulated). Hubby got it for me for Christmas and I am over the moon!
Thank you, Katie. And thank you, Hubby.
This beautiful scent smells just like I remember it: almondy, sweet (but NOT candy-floss sweet), elegant and unique.
ONE OF THE BEST!
alex1970 – :
I adore this perfume but it gives me a monsterous headache. I have a mostly full bottle plus a gift set (soap, lotion, perfume) in my closet. Once a week I sniff the cap. Thinking about selling one bottle but would be sad to part with it!
andrey040882 – :
I lived my best years wearing Sensi. I love it, I need it and I cannot forget it. Bring it back.
ohotniktv – :
This one is so, so beautiful. It reminds me of a slightly citrusless version of Yves Saint Laurent’s Cinema EdP. Very nutty, slightly woody and just stunning.
The almond is realistic, tickling my nose like the regular smell of almonds do. I only have 3-5mL of this but I will treasure it and wear it as rarely as I can muster. Why, oh why did you discontinue this masterpiece Armani???
Pavlarius – :
A personal favorite . iconic package as Summer by Kenzo I do still have two full 30ml bottles of it.
mav – :
Bring this jewel back!! Please? Pretty, pretty please?
NOT reformulated, of course. Otherwise, don’t bother.
gekkel – :
Just purchased a bottle of this. It is a shame it has been discontinued as it is really nice. It reminds me a bit of D&G Sicily although with a strong almond note.
100930420 – :
I was ‘nutty’ for this perfume. And I still am. I have a bottle home, 50ml half gone, and I treasure it. I spray it once a year, on my birthday.
I definitely want to see it brought back!
But … searching for it all these years since it was discontinued, I managed to find something that, on my skin, resembles the almond and the black locust I loved about Sensi. It is L’Ambre des Merveilles Hermes for women and men. First time I smelled it appeared somewhat known to me, but it’s only now I have figured it out. It is the closest I could get of the beloved Sensi.
Maybe you could give it a try.
AlexCap – :
I use it only 3-4 times a year. It is so precious and wonderful, especially in the winter. I wish they would bring it back. There is nothing really comparable out there in my humble layman’s opinion
Hiuhgjftdtr – :
Unique – i can not buy again because it is long gone.
On my skin gets weaker after 2 hours. Feels just almonds gently.
Beautifully composed, warm in unobtrusive manner. I have 5ml edp. There is no similar one in the market nowadays.It was good to know it at all, hunt occasionally. Sensi …… that kind of senses, let’s say it the hits name. Slightly stretched.
Armani did “Si” not long time ago, but that’s not it at all similar.
One thing i am unhappy with is sillage and longevity about Sensi. 3 hours. Thats it. Gone after 3 h.
yanshin10 – :
This is the 2nd time i’ve come across a big bottle of Sensi. The last time it was nice but not enough to keep.
Either the warmer weather in my area has brought out more of the powdery almond beauty of the composition or the last bottle was simply going faint with age. I’m loving this now. I find it a gorgeous gourmande to reach for in warmer weather for special occasions in the evening. Very classy and rich compared to the last bottle i tried in the cold winter last year.
I need to try this bottle in the winter to see if it will work for me in those months unlike the last half used bottle which seemed rather bland.
nejenka – :
Sensi is smooth and comforting, with creamy almond and a warm woody facet to it. I don’t perceive it as being particularly sensual, just a comforting gourmand. The benzoin keeps the almond from being too sharp, and strengthens over time. Sensi is definitely unique in that it’s not trying to break any boundaries or shock anyone. It’s like a woman who’s comfortable in her own skin. It’s also a woman’s perfume that is neither a flower bomb nor a sugary treat, though it has modern inspiration. I can see why it has a cult following; this is the one you reach for when you just want to smell good, no questions asked.
vseregai – :
This perfumes notes are spot on!
Although to my nose, in the beginning, I can swear that I smell vanilla & musk
(heaps of it too)
I guess it’s the sweet benzoin?
Smells breathtaking, very sexy, very aromatic.
I’ve had it on for about 6 hours now & suddenly caught a whiff of kaffir lime 😀
I’m actually surprised the notes are so accurate.
The lime however hasn’t over powered,
the almond & jasmine are in control now 😉
Sensi you are a gem ❤
Thank you Alberto Morillas & Harry Fremont, for such a beautiful perfume.
maria_gladkih – :
If you loved and miss Sensi, chances are good that you will like YSL Cinema Gold. Maybe even Cinema, since C. Gold and Cinema are supposed to be quite similar. I am wearing Cinema Gold at the moment, and find it very much alike Sensi whitch I used in 2005.
ololo – :
I feel sad regarding Sensi, I received it from an ex and gave it away after breaking up…it was a lovely powdery almond scent( almost reminiscent of Di Sarono liqueur) but I was rash. It was ethereal like white wings. If nothing else, that guy had good taste in perfumes. But he was a hopeless mamas boy.
asv_1974 – :
BRING SENSI BACCCCCKKKKKKK PLEASE!!!
maks96kz – :
I actually wrote a review under the name seraching4scent many years ago but managed to get a decant of the original after using scent oils. I still am in love with this beautiful scent and despite saying goodbye and exploring new scents I will forever miss this one.
This was my signature scent around 2004 ish and the smell became known as me. It was a comforting, semi sweet, powdery innocent scent but with a hint of sexuality. I wore it to work as well as on a date, what I class as an all rounder, a classic.
Upon receiving my decant this week I couldn’t wait to be reminded of my favorite scent and it did not disappoint. After all these years, it is still the creamy powdery soft scent that I remember and long for. My only gripe is that my decant is only 5ml so will be gone again in a flash. What I would say is I have recently come across a scent of a similar vibe (to me) please note I said vibe! It is not the same but may dull the void that the discontinuation has left. Bearing in mind that I only have a 1.5ml vial and the notes read different but Trusardi My Name has a similar comforting creamy vibe about it and reminds me of Sensi and will definitely be on my Christmas list! Of course, when I come across the original Sensi at a sensible price I will again stock up.
One thing this has taught me as a newbie to the intricacies of perfume is to never take a scent for granted as it may not always be around, if you are in love with a fragrance as I am/was with Sensi make sure its always on your gift list!
keretyt – :
Finding this discontinued baby was a difficult mission and there was no choice but grabbing the first and only bottle I found after days of searching,ofcourse without even a sniff.it’s notes are so promising also reviews encouraged me so I felt like I need to have it in my collection
To be honest,it’s not as unique as I thought,ofcourse it IS unique,but not that wired thing I’ve built in my mind,so the golden question is:am I happy with my 3.4 Oz bottle of sensi which costed 100 bucks for me?yes,100%,I loooove it!
Sensi is one of the creamiest scents I’ve tested till now,soft,smooth and rounded,being this much creamy is enough for me to love a scent,but there is more going on here
I don’t really like it’s opening.I can’t detect lime or any thing citrusy/fruity.it has a dough-like texture and smells like a non-sweet dough used to bake a bread.I don’t dislike this aroma but I don’t like it as a perfume also it’s too much creamy/doughy quality feels too much but this dough-smell is replaced in less than half an hour with a floral heaven
black locust is a lovely flower which covered the yard of our old house,where I lived 15 years ago,it smells like my childhood,those carefree,good old days,I always asked myself why such a lovely flower is not used much in perfumes(also a flower called ice flower in my mother tongue,which I love and I wonder always why they don’t use such a lovely smelling flower in fragrances?!!).. So,armani sensi turns to a lovely black locust-jasmine heaven for me,it I wondered how wheat is going to smell in a perfume,for me,it smells like bread dough in initial phase but when sensi’s floral heart blooms,wheat begins to smell like bread,a special almondy bread which my granny used to bake and I died for it as a child,my goodness, sensi is pure nostalgia,ofcourse not for everyone,but it is definitely for a Persian girl like me,though you don’t need to be a Persian girl to enjoy this soft,gorgeous creamy combination of white florals(jasmine and black locust),newly cooked,warm,almondy,non sweet vanilla bread and a deep balmy woody base of benzoin and subtle palisander wood .palisander is usually too dry or overpowering on my skin and covers all the other notes,but not here.in sensi it looks like a combination of benzoin, palusander,sandalwood and vanilla
There is nothing weird,loud,flashy and exceptional in sensi,it’s unique in a simple,gourgeoys way..it’s addictive,smooth,soft powdery,almondy,very sensual also innocent,comforting,warm and golden like sun warmth wrapping you,beautiful and amazing in a simple natural way,like good old days,like childhood,but don’t misunderstand me,there is nothing old in sensi,it’s a very modern white floral,powdery almond,vanilla combo,it’s delicious but not really sweet..
Sensi is not a classic but there is nothing like it(at least I don’t know one)..I can’t understand discontinue policy but I know that it’s not dated and could be sold a lot..if you like creamy,powdery scents don’t miss it if you find one..it’s wearable year round but I like it more in sunny but cool days,I love it in autumn more,it’s long lasting,stays close the skin but also is noticeable
I love,love,loooove this smooth,cuddly,original scent.it’s so well blended and creamy white florals are so well grounded by warm,creamy-powdery notes that I know a lot of white floral haters who love sensi.now I can understand why a lot of people love it,I can’t say I love it head to heals as it’s top notes don’t go well with my chemistry but it’s lovely drydown worthes waiting. It’s definitely signature scent material and isn’t replaceable (at least I never came across something similar).I’m glad that I had the opportunity to experience it
❤❤❤❤
Saruman – :
It is a gorgeous perfume: feminine, creamy, powdery and sweet. It is not heavy very light and worm. I find it from the same category as L’instant Magic with exception that LM is drier and less sweet. Also LM is colder while Sensi is worm and sweet, and has this baby powder innocent quality to it and very sensual at the same time. It hangs around you like sweet, fluffy powder cloud. You can easily wear it during hot summer it will never go bad on you because if that baby powder quality. I just got it but can imagine that Sensi will sound different during cold. I believe it will play out more on woody creamy side. I am a big fan of powdery and sweet perfumes and Sensi fits my requirements.
styvas – :
I had just about given up my hopes of ever getting the opportunity to smell this when a seller cleaning out their sample closet put this up for auction and I got their sample for 1,50 €. Needless to say, I was delighted.
When I first sprayed it on my wrist it reminded me a lot of Balenciaga Rumba mixed with Lancôme Poême. Certainly not what I expected, and I couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed. However, I decided to wait it out, and sure enough… some three hours after application it has morphed into the Sensi I signed up for when deciding I wanted to smell it.
It is a very unique, very beige scent. Wheaty woody benzoin goodness. Round, neutral and pleasing, there is absolutely nothing irritating about it, it does not tickle my nose whatsoever. The drydown smells exactly like I expected it to. I will probably not cough up the cash for a full bottle, but I am very happy that I have a vial of this around.
fillinovskkkij – :
Un emozione di profumo.
La perfezione in una boccetta, un colore sublime, caldo che ricorda i bei tempi passati, un sole ardente.
Un profumo che emoziona, insieme a Mania, i migliori di Giorgio Armani.

valeralitva – :
Such a gorgeous oriental scent! This reminds me of a style of perfume that they rarely make in the current times, which is very disappointing. I have a very concentrated bottle of this perfume and i remember when i first tried it on, it was such a surprise.
I was not a fan of it at first, as i felt it was too strong upon the initial spray. But then the scent rapidly started changing, unfolding, as layer after layer of the basic notes revealed themselves. And what a surprise it became! It revealed warm, milky, kashmir-like notes that reminded me of a sort of vaguely sensual, mildly sweet, but womanly and sophisticated powder.
While it is a warm and kashmir type of fragrance, i do not think that it falls under the warm AND spicy label. There’s nothing strong or peppery about it. I’d say that it’s the type of warmth that just falls short of being sexy. It’s more soothing. Think love instead of sex. Since i have a pretty concentrated version, it always lasts a long time on me and the sillage is great.
Anyway, it’s a true shame that they discontinued this one. It seems like all of the ones worth keeping around get discontinued at some point. But if you can get your hands on it from online sites, i’d highly recommend it. If you like fragrances like Kenzo’s Flower, then you will absolutely love this one.
Mehub682Negeltzex – :
Oh boy, they don’t make perfumes like this anymore! I can’t for the life of me understand why it was discontinued as it is obviously popular. This was my signature scent for a couple of years and I only have about 1/3 of a bottle left that I hoard and sniff every now and then for memories. I wore it in my early 20’s but I think it smells elegant and beautiful but sexy at the same time. This is the only perfume I’ve ever smelled where a scent strip from a magazine hooked me. I’m glad to still have a tiny bit of it in my possession.
Felina4996 – :
Sensi lovers, if you don’t mind oils, you can get a spot on replication of Sensi at this website, thefragranceshop.com. I’ve used this oil along with the dry oil and fragrance mist and they work and smell beautifully. They also have an assortment of other products that you can get in that scent as well as many others. I’ve also purchased other scents from this website and wasn’t disappointed.
I’m in no way affiliated with this website. Just passing the information along to any and all that might be interested and may benefit from this.
Happy perfuming!!
Pipipir – :
I would just love to try this one! How did I miss it along the way?!
susylan – :
For those who love Sensi and have not been able to find a signature scent since it was discontinued… try Givenchy “Ange ou Demon Le Parfum & Accord Illicite”… Please understand that it does not smell anything like Sensi… but it is just as unique and is very sensual and complex. I absolutely love it!
Stookeple – :
One of my favorite night/winter fragrances. 🙂 Lovely and feminine. <3
baracuta – :
wonderful! sultry and feminine..I have received it today from Ebay
Тишка777 – :
Comfortable and romantic yet very elegant also sensual.
This is a perfect scent for a woman who is very self confident but still has a big warm heart.
The opening is kind of weird but then it turns into a smooth and warm perfume. Every step of this smell is clean. But not that sharp, citrusy kind of clean. It is more like silk scarf. Powdery and creamy… The drydown is gorgeous.
It is the perfect mixture of cozy and sexy.
navomeliqyan – :
Classic, sweet and sophisticated perfume! No need for a long-winded review because this perfume can be summed up in very few words. Officially discontinued, but not gone forever. This fragrance was a true one-of-a-kind because it did have an unusual scent makeup, but it worked in Sensi’s favor. This is THE going out/special occasion perfume, but if you want a special boost even on casual days, it’ll work for that too.
rthbkkeirf – :
Do I ever wish we could go back to the early to mid 2000’s, when perfumes like this were made all the time! This is understated, but not boring. Sexy, but not in your face. Everything that comes out now smells cheaply made and sweet, or is faintly floral and boring. I’m not saying this is a masterpiece, but it’s one that rewards you through wearing it again and again. It doesn’t knock the person next to you over, but invites them in to stay for a while. It is very soft and almost a milky almond, a skin scent. The vanilla rounds it out and it’s great. Armani made this and the original Mania, which are both awesome, and both were discontinued. For shame!
shaho24 – :
Ive had Sensi for about 12 years now and I’ve never worn it much though I do find it pleasant in a gourmand way. The best way to describe it is smells like a foxy lady drink- amaretto and cream and a cherry. I’m swapping it because it think someone else will enjoy it more than I do. It’s a lovely fragrance similar to Cinema but I prefer Cinema cause it’s more girly. I hope the new owner will enjoy it !
sno772speagoessenda – :
When I first met Sensi I had no idea how special it would become. I found it pleasant but a little bit strange, a little too light. But I gave it the same chance I give everything. I wore it on hot summer days when most other bottles in my collection felt cloying. One steamy August night it occurred to me that I was falling hard for Sensi. It has the oddest assortment of notes…almond, benzoin, black locust, wheat, even a hint of lime. And that rosewood oil, going along for the whole ride. Almost masculine and soapy when first applied, it dries down to a silky wood that is all woman. I began to only wear Sensi at night and only when I would be surrounded by enough people to make it worth using a few precious drops. When I learned that Sensi was discontinued it felt like I had been punched in the gut. I stopped wearing it and kept the bottle on my dresser for cap sniffing. I only have a milliliter left. It’s like a ghost to me. Will I ever use that last bit? I just don’t want this to be truly over. Nothing before or since has even come close to making me feel as beautiful and unique as Sensi.
dallik – :
This smells a bit like Burberry Brit Rhythm to me but this is just a bit richer. Does anyone agree or is my nose lying to me??
Shooraamich – :
Those base notes…ah Sensi, you work wonders. Every time I wear this, guys ask me what perfume it is and look all starry-eyed. Okay, maybe not starry-eyed, but for some reason, on me, this scent is such a warm, nutty concoction of sweetness that’s like a love potion. My skin loves Sensi, and Sensi loves it. So sad it’s discontinued, but it looks like some reviewers have found some sellers. Hooray for love.:)
sasharaspopin – :
It is so sad when great perfumes are discontinued or retired. So many of us rely on this website in hopes of anyone finding possible comparisons to our beloved fragrances that have passed on. On the recommendation of another reviewer, I decided to try Visit for Women by Azzaro, which was reported to have Sensi similarities. And although the notes don’t even match between the two, I decided to give it a try anyway. Wow…it is a lot like Sensi! Not at first spray, but during the dry down period and beyond. Obviously, it’s not the same, but it does have uncanny resemblance.
Борис54 – :
A smooth, sweet, almondine, silk scarf of a perfume with a sprinkling of lemon icing powder. But despite seeming ethereal, Sensi is grounded in nature – something about it makes me think of mother-of-pearl or alabaster.
Very lovely and long-lasting too, I’m glad to have found a 30ml bottle of this 🙂
aalkmooehy – :
Sophisticated, comforting, smooth, creamy, velvety, delicate but noticeable.
It opens with slight citrusy note that doesn’t last long, because the main notes delicately wraps it and take over: at this point I smell woody notes,almond, resins and subtle jasmine, all softly blended together to give a milky effect.
Nothing animalic, strong or sweet.
I think the fragrance describes well the Armani woman: sensual not sexy.
yuri.29 – :
I want more of this! I wish they would start to make it again! It is one of my absolute favorite fragrances EVER!!

Melrq206intitytek – :
Gorgeous, tangy powder. It is rich, white, rolling, and soft like the coat of a Siberian tiger, but the lime in the background lends a mouthwatering sensation like the tart sting of a lemon drop.
lubasha71 – :
If I were to quote a song on this occasion, it would definitely be… “If I say I want you back, would you turn around and say you want me too?” – ‘‘Want You Back” by Mandy Moore
Sensi – I really want you back!!!:'(
xXxKing – :
It’s comfort in a bottle.
I find it warm and delicate and über feminine. This smells really weird for a minute or so, then it transforms into a beautiful rich creamy almond powder.
It’s a classic for sure, how dare they discontinue such a beautiful perfume!
evgenforeva – :
I had this and I wanted to like it so much..but it didn’t like my chemistry..would turn sour on my body 🙁
oblineeenlick – :
This is my grown-up scent. I’m usually all for super sweet gourmandy perfumes, but this is something different. Good and different. When I want to feel elegant, feminine, warm and yet to be taken seriously, it’s definitely my favourite pick. I’ve never failed in a job interview while wearing this, so I’ll cherish it as my good luck charm (eh-em scent!)
My nose picks up benzion, floral notes and lime. Silage is moderate and so is the longevity. Lasts longer on clothes, though. I’m so sad it’s been discontinued, however, at times it pops up on local auction sites (and costs way too much for my student budget).
fulik – :
Such beautiful, sensuous, elegant and unique fragrance. It disappeared while I was saving money to buy it. Please please make a comeback.
eduard740 – :
I didn’t know this was discontinued! I was looking around for this for a while. I’m not going on Ebay to get it right now (I got bills to pay), but I remember it being a sweet and creamy scent. I didn’t detect the lime at all when I wore it, but the benzoin, jasmine, and almond stuck around, even hours later, and it was warm, creamy. I wish I’d gotten a hold of this…one of the few favorites that I liked from the Armani brand.
Friz75 – :
I’ve had my bottle for quite a while and it’s 3/4 full of a 1.7 ounce so I must not reach for it very often. I’m not sure why..it smells delicious…I think I forget what I own and tend to move these to the back but this one deserves some love and attention. I guess I better hold on to her since I see it’s been discontinued. What a shame. These beatuies should never die.
Galya93 – :
This is definitely a unique perfume. It is an incredibly warm scent that reminds me of desserts. I believe it is the almonds that lend it this quality.
The florals in the scent. however, lend it the right balance to prevent it from being a typical gourmand scent.
kam321 – :
Trying to buy Sensi is very expensive on Ebay. I have been fortunate to have two 50mls of Sensi in the the eau de parfume variety.
However, I found a fragrance called Visit from Azzaro which is extremely similar to Sensi without being too expensive. I paid $44.00 for it on USA Ebay. I placed Sensi on one part of my right hand wrist and Visit on my left hand wrist. I found it to be exactly the same. I placed visit on my jumper at 7.30am and can still smell it faintly as a lingering cloud like Sensi at 1.30pm. In fact, I have bought three bottles of this uplifting fragrance and have no regrets I cannot tell the difference. The smell is sweet, balmy and limely. For Sensi lovers, I think this fragrance is nearly identical and worth a try.
dvarven – :
this perfum like Noa perle cacharel, it is verey nice
illilaRoyag – :
Dear Sensi afficionados, please forgive me. My review is not a negative one by all means, rather a positive but not a raving one. I haven’t used or tried Sensi in the past, and I bought a bottle off eBay only because I wanted to be a part of its legacy. Sensi is pretty, inoffensive and whispering. I must be anosmic to its ingredients, as after a while I have to press my nose on my skin to smell it. I found it a close cousin of YSL Cinema minus the intense vanilla-orchid combo. Sensi opens on my skin with a citrusy accord, and right after that it progresses to a smooth benzoin-wood blend. I do not detect any almonds whatsoever:(
Overall I like Sensi, but I do not love it.
pumba72 – :
I love Sensi and have used it for a long time. I preferred ‘white notes’ much more though. Last year I went to a perfume shop in a mall and asked for it. They said that they don’t have it and wouldn’t know if it was discontinued. However, they sent me to the Armani shop. To my surprise they sold Sensi there! However, the Sales Agent said that they were the last and old stocks. I bought them all – 5 – and now decided to sell 2 bottles as I still have 2 new ones left. Not sure if this is allowed here but please let me know if you are interested. They are in original packaging and sealed. They are originals! If any doubt, I have a proof of payment.

A couple of years ago I was on my way to a perfume store to find a new fragrance… Just before entering this store a woman walked by and I loved her scent, so I asked her what she used. She told me it was Sensi! One of the saleswomen sprayed some on my pulse and since then I’m hooked. On my skin it smells warm, soft and powdery and it reminds me of a midsummer night somewhere at a exotic resort. Men love this on me and I frequently get compliments. Such a shame I only have half of the bottle left and they stopped selling it!!!
L’instant Magic – Guerlain is a similar perfume which I own but doesn’t give me that unique feeling which Sensi definitely does.

Hi all….. Please check overstock.com … They have a few bottles of Armani ( 4 bottles left) Sensi at a reasonable price compared to Ebay or Amazon. I’m so glad to have found this product once again 🙂

Love it! After so many years had the chance to wear Sensi again, thanks to dear Julia-Caesaris. Love the openening, that lovely warm benzoin with Brazilian rosewood, smells divine. So soft as the finest cashmere blanket, woody on a very feminine way. Oh Mr Armani, do something and bring it back!!

I just love this. I am distressed that this is discontinued. Just got a full bottle of it.
It is feminine (but not ‘girly’). It is good for almost any time of the year (summer days, it may be too strong, but summer nights, spring, autumn, winter… perfect).
I do see what people are saying about the ‘diaper’ smell. But that is only on first spray, and only lasts a couple of minutes. It is, otherwise, powdery and pretty. Mature, yet youthful. Very classy. Strong and loud, yet soft and gentle. Sillage is not so much as it fills a room, like my darling White Diamonds, but you still make a statement as you walk past people.
This is the scent of a woman. Whether she is dressed to the nines, or dressed in trackies and a tee. It works.
