“I got testers of this and the original, compared to the original this is a poor relation for me. It smells a lot cheaper, there is an earlier soapy note I dislike and the flat dull ?cedar note at end that does nothing for me, not keen. Also seems a lot weaker with less staying power, I watched 3 good sprays of each on the tester strips and whilst the original is still strong and present, this one was difficult to smell from the start and even more so now.”
“Hands down best spring and summer scent, altough i would definitely say it goes for any season or ocasion. I'm on my second bottle, that's how good this is. It's an ultra feminine, fresh and sweet fruity-floral. Like many say, it really smells like a luxurious shampoo. On me, this has moderate longevity but GREAT projection! It does leave a pretty strong trail especially for the first 2-3 hours. It is truly addictive to me and even now, in 2026, with so many options on the market, i still think this is worth picking up.”
“It is nothing like the original Si. All I get in the opening is pineapple and grapefruit. I wouldn't say it is sweet, more like sharp and tangy, not in a fresh way, moew like sour. The dry down gets softer and more manageable. I will use mine up during the summer but won't be buying a new one. 6/10 for me.”

The clone's longevity is moderate (5-6 hours) compared to Si Passione's excellent performance (8+ hours). The base notes feel lighter and more linear, missing some of the ambient warmth and depth that makes the original so captivating in later stages.

Sillage
The clone has noticeably shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs 6-8 hours on skin) and reduced sillage. The base develops more quickly and heavily on vanilla-musk in the clone, whereas the original maintains better balance between its fruity heart and creamy base throughout the fragrance's evolution.

Sillage
While the fruity opening is nearly identical, Riffs Elixir Rouge exhibits slightly less complexity in the middle notes, with a less pronounced spiced cardamom character. The drydown leans marginally sweeter and creamier, trading some of the original's sophisticated amber nuance for broader mass appeal.

Sillage
Imperial Rouge delivers a slightly sweeter, more synthetic interpretation of the fruity notes and doesn't quite achieve the same silky, almond-tinged drydown that makes Si Passione distinctive. The projection and sillage are noticeably lighter, with approximately 4-5 hours of wear compared to the original's 6-8 hour performance.
