*This is my own (very) unofficial count, mind you, and only includes the award categories I report on — I usually skip awards for things like advertising and packaging, and I frequently skip consumer choice awards too. And it includes one late-in-the-year award program from 2013 (the Fifi Awards Arabia, which takes place in November).
I love Armani Si! Only reason I’ve tried it, though, is because I ordered some samples on eBay. Anyone know why this fragrance isn’t available in the U.S.? Curious.
You can buy it on Armani’s US website & at a few of the discount websites, not sure why it isn’t yet more widely available here — originally they said the US launch would be first quarter 2014, but must have been pushed back.
Oooh! They have a rollerball! $28 for 10 ml, though…
Yeah. But at least you don’t have to buy 50 ml, right?
True!!! Love the smaller option!!!
