Hanae by Hanae Mori vs Si

Hanae by Hanae Mori receives moderately positive community sentiment as a sweet, gourmand fragrance with a French pastry quality. While praised for its balanced sweetness and pleasant longevity, some find it slightly too sugary and don't reach for it regularly despite appreciating it when worn.

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.
