The community has mixed feelings about Si Intense, with significant division centered on reformulation issues. While those who own original versions love the blackcurrant and fresh qualities, many are disappointed by recent 2021-2023 reformulations that have weakened performance and changed the scent profile. The newer versions are frequently criticized as generic and underwhelming compared to the beloved original black bottle.
