Giorgio Armani Si Passione, €58, Boots; Brown Thomas; Debenhams; Arnotts; selected pharmacies nationwide

The bright-red bottle packs a punch and acts as a good hint at the fragrance within. The original Si combines fruit, spice and powerful jasmine. This Passione interpretation adds some vanilla and cedarwood to that mix, among other notes, for added drama and depth. It’s heady, but also quite lively. “The bottle is like a big, red-hot nail polish,” said a panellist, “and the perfume is equally elegantly powerful.”
