Just to make it clear, I was never someone to heed the above advice. No seriously, even though I’m the Beauty On Duty, I don’t think fragrances are something I’ve ever bothered with. I’ve stressed about my makeup, and sometimes clothes, for hours. But when it comes to this finishing touch, I usually just forget. It’s as simple as that. That is until we had this sent in.

We get treats sent into the Team MissMalini HQ on a regular basis. Yeah, we’re cool like that, but not everything can hold our attention. This was one of the few scents that had me hooked. Partly because they’ve got this amazing simplistic packaging that doesn’t scream girly. The fragrance? That’s pretty much similar. Even though it’s got a strong vanilla base, the scent doesn’t overpower your senses. Sì by Giorgio Armani is also laced with floral smells like rose and neroli with a hint of Mandarin Oil that makes it so much more empowering. For me, it embodies the quintessential scent of a woman. Who better than Cate Blanchett to represent that?

Sì signifies yes. And I’m saying yes, to defining myself by more than just my physical appearance.
