The genuine Giorgio Armani Si is $93.79. The closest honest accessible version we can verify starts at $12.95, ranked first because it shares Si's cited citrus, fruity, floral, sweet profile. The extra $80.84 buys the exact branded formula. The cheaper bottle is inspired by it, honestly labeled, not the same formula.

Common questions
Where can I buy Giorgio Armani Si?
You can buy the genuine Giorgio Armani Si straight from FragranceNet.com. The real bottle comes first; the accessible alternatives below are there if you'd rather spend less.
What does Giorgio Armani Si smell like?
Giorgio Armani Si opens with Blackcurrant and Mandarin; a heart of Orange Blossom and Rose; drying down to Vanilla, from notes Giorgio Armani (official) publishes. Those notes read as citrus, fruity, floral, sweet, the coarse families Giorgio Armani (official) cites. How it wears depends on your skin and the concentration. We only publish notes and accords we can trace to a source.
How much does Giorgio Armani Si cost?
The genuine Giorgio Armani Si runs $93.79 at FragranceNet.com as of this page's last update, though retailers set their own prices and change them; a real 5ml sample is $2.99; the "smells-like" alternatives start around $12.95.
What's the closest accessible alternative to Si?
We rank the "smells-like" alternatives to Si by how closely their cited accords match the original, cheapest first. A dupe is meant to evoke Si, not match its formula, and we say as much. If we can't verify a genuine match yet, we leave it off.
Is Si for men or women?
Giorgio Armani Si is listed as a women's fragrance by the retailer. That's a marketing label, not a rule: fragrance has no gender, and plenty of "women's" scents are worn by anyone. We show how it's sold and leave the wearing to you.
Is Unbranded Si a good dupe for Si?
Unbranded Si is the alternative we list first for Si, ranked on shared cited accords then price, at $12.95 against $93.79 for the genuine bottle. Most alternative houses publish no scent profile of their own, so for those we show the original's cited accords rather than claim an independently verified match. It's meant to evoke Si, not replicate it, so we link the real bottle first and let you judge for yourself.
Is Si available in other concentrations?
Yes. We also cover Armani Si, each with its own page. Concentration changes the strength and often the balance of the scent, so we list the versions separately.
What fragrances share notes with Si?
Kajal Homme (shares Blackcurrant, Orange Blossom, Mandarin); Roja Parfums Elysium Eau Intense (shares Blackcurrant, Orange Blossom, Rose); Carolina Herrera 212 Vip Rose Elixir (shares Blackcurrant, Mandarin, Rose). These share specific notes with Si, a closer match than a shared accord family. We rank them by how many of Si's cited notes they actually share, weighting rarer notes heavier than ubiquitous ones. Each is its own fragrance with real, sourced notes, not a copy of Si, and has its own page.
What fragrances are similar to Si?
Si reads as citrus, fruity, floral, sweet. If that's the corner you like, you'll find Carolina Herrera 212 VIP, Afnan 9 PM and Tiziana Terenzi Afrodite nearby. We rank them by how many of Si's cited accords they actually share, weighting rarer families heavier. They're their own fragrances, not copies of Si, and each has its own page.
We list the genuine original first, always. Fragrance Hunter earns affiliate commissions on outbound links across the site, on both original bottles and accessible alternatives, at no cost to you. Because we earn the same either way, what pays us never sets the order we rank things in; the ranking answers to the cited accords, not a sponsor (how we pick, and how we earn). Accessible alternatives are imitations of a named original; related fragrances are independent houses' own creations that stand as originals in their own right. We label which is which, and never present an imitation as the original. Prices are indicative, set by the retailer, and change. Accords are coarse scent families cited from brand or retailer sources; an alternative evokes the profile, it is not the same formula.
