Joy by Dior vs Si

The r/fragrance community has mixed feelings about Joy by Dior, with some appreciating its longevity and sweet cola-ginger opening, but many finding it disappointing and lacking sophistication. Multiple users agree it feels like a celebrity fragrance without memorable staying power in the dry down.

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.
