Emporio Armani Stronger With You Absolutely

SWY Absolutely is the grown up version of Intensly who turned into an alcoholic. A hot one. Maybe criminal too. SWY Absolutely is the older brother of Intensly. Absolutely is more serious, isnt joking around and is well a crippling alcoholic. A sexy crippling alcoholic. Absolutely still has that Intensly DNA (Their strongest smelling accords are both Vanilla) but instead of being sweet, cinamonny and ambery, Absolutely is woody, balsamic, has rum notes and is aromatic. SWY Absolutely is a perfume i havent touched in a long time. It stood in my shelf for about 2 years give or take. Instead of it rotting there im gonna review it. As im looking in the comments they slaughtered the longevity absolutely massacered it. Soo im gonna review a batch from 2023. Smell right after spray : Jesus Christ that Rum accord in the opening is strooong wth. I was literally high for like idk 5 seconds it stinged so bad in my nose. Its complimented with the elemi and bergamot is just well doing its stuff. Cant smell it. The first spray was well unpleasing. But atleast it dried down relatively quick. The stinging was the bummer. But the authenticity. Im gonna let that pass. Drydown : The Davana and Lavender they just work. That slight stinging rum smell in the background. Now were talking business. The stinging is gone, the rum is still kinda there while the elemi is the left one alive ig. Starting to smell patchouli relatively early on. End : The beautiful Vanilla, the cedar, patchouli, lavender and a hint of davana is what i smell. Its a nice beautiful extremely masculine smell. It just works apparently. And finally at the end i can only smell the Vanilla and Cedar. Now that is what i call a fragrance. Its a beautiful sweet, woody and rummy/alcoholic smelling fragrance that turns into this dude who is in his late 30s - early 50s. He smoking cigars non stop, dude has a slickback, always counting money for no reason, his Aviator Sunglasses in the Winter... and not to forget his black leather jacket. This is for the more older folk. The gentlemen who are going to wear this are in their late 20s - early 40s. Im a young guy so trust me on this : I know i shouldnt be telling you what to wear but if youre younger go for Intensly. Its also very sexy. Oh and if youre younger dude wearing this on dates or special occasions about : 16-23 yrs old, youre gonna smell good its just well it doesnt fit your age or your clothingstyle. Noones stopping you, just a piece of advice. This is perfect for dates, special occasions or going out in the night. So youre not gonna wear this in the office because youll smell like rum and might flood the office with your sillage, not in the club because youll flood the club with your scentcloud. (Parfum Concentrate to let you know), and not in the gym. youre gonna suffacate people. its deadly. Perfect for the Winter and Fall at night. You can also use this at the day but 1 spray. TLDR : A sexy vanilla, with rum, wood, balsamic and aromatic notes. For older men (late 20s - early 40s)ish. It will last 12 hours with a big sillage. (2023 BATCH!!!) Perfect for dates, special night outs or just going out at the night (1 spray) Ideal for winter, fall at night. you can use this during the day (1 spray) If I were an older guy this would be my signature. I bought this blind. Im young i dont fit the demographic. Notes : Loreal has reformulated this. Buy 2023 Batches they are Parfum Concentration, while newer ones have Eau De Toillete they dont last long. In their reformulations they dilute perfumes with water. (Luna Rosa Carbon) Thanks Loreal. Goodjob, Lady. You made art. Heres a star ⭐ 10/10

Después de un año me doy el tiempo de escribir la reseña de mi perfume favorito de invierno, como inició? Llevo 2 años y medio desde que me volví adicto a los perfumes yo era el que tenía solo uno y con eso me bastaba, un día frío en mi ciudad entre a una tienda de retail a oler perfumes y el primero que probe fue SWY intensely, quede enamorado no se por qué pero sentí esa calidez y también un toque como a licor! (No tiene jaja) pero me quedé con eso, no pude comprarlo pero en marketplace alos dias vi a alguien que vendía decants de perfumes y vendía esté, le pregunté si era el mismo y me afirmó con que era mejor y que esté si tenia la nota alcohólica [Cabe destacar que en mi país no llegó ala venta el SWY Absolutely] Le compre un decants de 10 ML y sí definitivamente acertó con que era mucho mejor, de estos perfumes que te abrazan y te protegen del frío, encantandor! Como eran 10 Ml lo usaba solo en ocasiones especiales y siempre robaba miradas cuando lo usaba, al poco tiempo me fui del país y lo encontré en un outlet y fue el primer perfume que me compré en el nuevo país haha de ahí que lo tengo y sin duda uno de mis mejores perfumes. [Reseña olfativa] El perfume abre con ese poderoso ron, no se por que pero en mi imaginación sería como un ron añejado qué estaba en un barril de un barco pirata, con ese toque a madera también y por otra parte el dulce de unas castañas calientes, sin duda embriagado en el buen sentido de la palabra. Después va bajando a un perfil mucho mas aromatico diria yo que es por la lavanda aterrizando una suave vainilla. [Conclusión] Perfume 10/10 rendimiento, 10/10 un perfume muy seductor también, su mejor estacion sin duda el invierno, y para esos dias helados y frescos de otoño también, si te gustan los perfumes dulces y alcohólicos esto absolutamente es para ti. 🥃

Stronger With You Absolutely is still one of my favorite fragrances ever. To me, this is the perfect warm, sweet, cozy winter scent. It has this deep rum, chestnut, vanilla, amber, and smoky sweetness that just feels addictive every time I smell it. It is sweet, but not in a cheap or childish way. It feels rich, smooth, comforting, and masculine at the same time. What makes it so good is the depth. A lot of warm sweet fragrances smell good, but they can feel flat or basic. Absolutely has this darker, boozier, more mature warmth that makes it feel special. It smells like cold weather, late nights, hoodies, dates, and being close to someone. It has that cozy girlfriend/cuddling type of vibe, but it still has enough power and richness to feel confident. I also think it is much better than Stronger With You Intensely. Intensely is good, but to me it feels sweeter, louder, and more straightforward. Absolutely feels deeper, smoother, richer, and way better balanced. It has more character and more emotion behind it. Out of the Stronger With You vanilla-style scents, Absolutely is easily the best to me. It takes that sweet vanilla DNA and makes it darker, boozier, warmer, and more interesting. Compared to other sweet designer fragrances, this just feels better blended and more complete. It does not feel like it is trying too hard. It is smooth, warm, deep, and addictive from the opening to the drydown. For me, Stronger With You Absolutely is a masterpiece. It is one of those fragrances I would build a collection around, and even after smelling more niche stuff, it still holds up. Easy 10/10.

My scent profile at its finest. This is a harder, more masculine take on the DNA when compared to Intensely. Pass on Intensely, get this. This is the denali for cold weather or anytime you want to make a statement. It's a rich, dense profile that is inviting and intoxicating. I am immediately taken to the holidays with a cocktail in hand, fireplace roaring, and soft oldies playing. It's versatile, so feel free to make up your own scenarios for any season. I've worn during summer and enjoyed this. The elemi supports this all so beautifully. It's one of the more prominent notes among the blend. Two sprays will get ya. It lasts and projects long reminding me of rich chestnut goodness. I imagine many fathers smelled like this (booze, vanilla, chestnut) throughout time, so it definitely makes one feel like a father figure. It's loud and can be cloying if oversprayed, but the emotion it evokes is so powerful that it's emphatic. The man this is for is outdoorsy, sophisticated, charismatic and assertive. This is perhaps a seductive scent, and I can see it enhancing such a context. It's disarming and a total delight. It is absolutely worth every dollar and will be forever be in my collection. A semi-blind buy for me, since I had smelled and passed on Intensely. I am such a happy camper for having discovered this.

For almost 20 years of my life I owned and managed a sawmill and pallet manufacturing business. When we were milling Eucalyptus saligna or blue gum on the double-log edger or multi-rip machines, and when the saws would overheat, we would get a sweet scorched wood smell. That's the dry-down of Stronger With You Absolutely. And it is simply beautiful💖 Perhaps for this reason I can't see this fragrance working well on a woman. It brings back fantastic memories of that sawmill, where I pretended to be the world's most macho lumberjack😊 It must be the chestnut and the rest of those base notes working their magic to give that gorgeous dry-down. And you get little (tiny) whiffs of that fougere heart with the lavender and Davana. This truly is a sumptuously blended fragrance. I will keep this for the colder winter days - it is made for cuddling. A mere 3 sprays got beyond 12 hours, and it was still present after showering. I woke up this morning with hints of the scent lifting off my chest. Yes, it has formidable performance. What's all the more amazing is I received this as a free gift for being such a good customer of one of the online perfume stores here in South Africa. 2021 Has been a wonderful year of fragrance discovery for me, and Stronger With You Absolutely is most certainly one of the highlights⭐
