Si vs Chance Eau Tendre

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.

The r/fragrance community views Chance Eau Tendre as a polarizing fragrance with a devoted following among those who appreciate fresh, light florals, but significant detractors who find it powdery, short-lived, and overly mature-smelling. The EDP and EDT versions receive mixed reviews, with the hair mist preferred by some as a fresher alternative.
