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⭐

I am not a sweet amber scent type at all and I really avoided this because of the comparisons to Azzaro Wanted flankers which are all too sweet and fruity for my taste. I finally sprayed this at a Sephora and was pleasantly surprised that it really isn't that much like the Wanted line in terms or sweetness. It’s sweet but in a less fruity and more underlying sugar cube soaked in vanilla kinda way. More mature sweetness IMO. I find this to be pretty similar to YSL L'Homme EDP with the boozy lavender amber accords but deeper and thicker. The chestnut elevates this scent above most of the players in this mass appeal profile and gives it a nice rounded blend from start to finish. I have sampled SWYI and it’s more playful but less age appropriate for me and now after smelling the boozy rum in this I feel its kind of juvenile compared to Absolutely. Both are lovely fragrances but I feel someone over 35 would be better suited for SWYA. Lasts for about 9-10 hours and projects at the perfect range for a date night / out to dinner scent for around 3 hours. One of my new favorites and wear it with no reservations because it so likable no one will object to this scent. 8/10

For me it is so much better than the intensely, that rum and chest nut notes just add more maturity into this fragrance. In the world of designers it's on the top tier level, would've been a S tier fragrance if it wasn't for performance inconsistency, I actually do own 2 bottles of this, one 50ml and second 100ml, and for some reason 50ml bottle doesn't project as much and lasts way less, I thought that it was me going nose blind but no, 100ml bottle for some reason for me just lasts longer, since I've tested them both and it was noticeable. But other than that, very sensual, cosy, and still very sweet scent, don't get people who say that it's mature scent, cuz it is still very sweet, I see it on guys around age 20-27, not older than that (obv if you're older and wanna rock it then just do it, and do it like a king, but it's just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt). I've got nice amount of compliments with it from ladies, guys and my mom ahahaha, just don't overspray it in crowded or closed places since it can be a bit strong for people around you. But yeah, safe blind buy for yourself or as a gift.

SWY Absolutely has a gorgeous opening, on the opening it has a beautiful combination of warm spicy and wood with balsamic note, hints of vanilla and a bit of booze. As it dries down the vanilla and booze intensify in an extremely pleasent way. Even as these notes intensify it still feels like the fragrance is deep and complex but also well balanced. Further into th dry down there is a slightly nutty sweet floral tone that starts to shine in a very pleasant way. Performance wise SWY Absolutely was quite stellar. On my skins it lasted just under 7 hours and I found it was clinging to my cloths even 15 hours later. Which was both impressive and also slightly annoying. A 7/10 here. The projection felt absolutely perfect on SWY Absolutely. It radiates just the perfect amount, forming between a 1 and 2 foot radius around me. Another 7/10 here. Overall SWY Absolutely is an amazing warm spicy fragrance with some notes that add a lot of enjoyable depth and complexity to it. It’s an 8/10 for me. I really appreciate its combination of easy approachable wear with a complex rich scent.

SWY Absolutely : A Unique twist When you first spray this, you get hit with a really strong rum smell, super boozy and kind of loud. After that calms down, it turns into this sweet, nutty vibe that’s really warm and nice. After about an hour, it basically smells like the original SWY, but with a little twist there’s still a tiny bit of that booziness in the background and the chestnut note feels stronger than in the OG. The performance is good, above average, but don’t expect a beast like Intensely or Leather. It lasts well and projects decently, just not crazy strong. I think this works best for winter nights, especially if you’re going somewhere more intimate or romantic. It has that cozy, sexy vibe. For me, I’d say Leather is still the best in the line, but since it’s discontinued, Absolutely is the next best thing. I like it more than Intensely because it feels a bit more unique and not as overused. Rating: 9/10

I was always a fan of SWYI. My close friend has it. so when I went fragrance shopping I wanted to get something in that price range. Once I stopped by this, every other option got eradicated. This is such a seductive, warm, sexy vanilla with booziness, and it has a nice aromatic airiness in it. It is just a more complex, richer version of Intensely, with the super sweet replaced with more sexiness. I get about 12 hours on skin, which is amazing. But the sillage is insane. On a windy day there was a trail of this behind me like I was dropping a string of SWY absolutely wherever I went. And this gets mega compliments. Even more intensely, I might say. This gets about 3-4 every wear thanks to the projection. Go about 3-4 sprays MAX. This will always be in my collection, trust me ;)

I would just describe it as gorgeous. Put together in such a classy way. One spray out the bottle and I knew that I’d be wearing it all of winter. It makes you smell warm and mature, but not old or overbearing. It is strong but in the best way. Takes on a masculine approach, and has great performance and sillage, but does not cause headaches. The booziness is immediately what my nose picked up, and for good reason. It smells warm, comforting, and grown. I, and others that I have asked about it, cannot stop smelling it. It is a mainstream designer line, though, so there will be a good amount of people smelling like this during winter. That makes sense though, as this works so well. All around easy blind buy, and a classy and mass-appealing signature scent for the winter.

Toss up between SWY Absolutely and Intensely for the best winter cologne of all time, really depends on what you like; your age, gender, the occasions you wear it, etc. This is obviously very similar to Intensely but boozier with the rum note, and slightly nuttier. Slightly less sweet than the Intensely but much classier and mature. Smells like a December night by the fireplace, but more mature. Maybe a Christmas party. Suitable for winter days, but better at night. Wouldn't wear in the spring or summer, can pass in cold fall nights. Very inviting, warm, sweet, boozy, intimate, but has a stronger presence than Intensely with the super masculine identity. Makes you more attractive by wearing it. I always get compliments when wearing. 10/10 perfect winter scent

One of the finest fragrances ever created in history—if not the finest. We’re talking about a scent built around a boozy vanilla character with a very mature, deep richness that makes it extremely captivating. On top of that, its performance is more than satisfying, especially when compared to competitors like The One, The Most Wanted, and others. The performance is genuinely enjoyable and impressive. I completely finished my first bottle, and I’m now planning to purchase a second one soon—just waiting for a great deal. This is, of course, just a personal opinion. Fragrance is never about absolute love or hate, so it’s highly recommended to smell it before buying. Don’t judge it immediately—give it an hour on skin, then experience it properly.

Начну с главных характеристик: «Очень мощный, объёмный, диффузный». Да очень хочется его попробовать на вкус, но мы не вовремена сухого закона, есть что купить и выпить. Ванильно-ромовый старт, причём педаль до пола. Очень долго скорость не сбрасывает,даже на виражах! В сердце вплетаются каштановово-кумариновые ноты, но не заглушая начальный аккорд, а наоборот делает его более глубоким и тягучим, густым. Ближе к базе делается немного дымным и землистым, благодаря древесным нотам и пачули. Вывод: Шикарная гурманска композиция, звучит дорого и богато! Да стойкость отличная на моей горячей коже держится больше четырёх часов, но по истечении 3 часов звучит ближе к коже... На одежде наверное неделю будет держаться, посмотрим, если, что напишу...

Addictive. Sexy and slightly dark. I heard people saying this is too mature, I disagree, because this still has the sweet core that SWY Intensely has, but here it comes a bit more mature, not a lot though. Speaking about SWY Intensely, owning both might be a bit redundant, as Absolutely smells, for me at least, like a slightly darker version of Intensely. If I had to exemplify with personalities, I would say Intensely is like a teenager or early 20's that wants to smell attractive and pull compliments, and Absolutely is the same person but now a few years older, 25-30. Not a "mature" fragrance by any means. I think that any male from 16 onwards can wear Absolutely, if you are an older guy with a young spirit, this also would suit you.

Well i have nothing to say it's stronger with you one of the best designers fragrance in all time i got the intensely and tried the parfum and now i have absolutely as a gift and i never tried it before all i was hearing that it's so boozy tbh it's really not that boozy and i love it so f much it's so delicious[i prefer tha parfum version] well the performance impressively good i get 7-9h on my skin when it comes to projection i didn't really tried it but i can say it's above the average, definitely not daily driver it leans more to date night and it's definitely winter/spring fragrance nothing else to say i love it although i'd prefer parfum over it but it still incredible fragrance i freaking love it

Nose note #2: VERY strong opening rum note, followed by some sweetness and balsamic scent. I also noted some fresh notes, probably corresponding to bergamot and elemi. After 30 minutes the rum downshifts and lets the bergamot get some protagonism, that along with the lavender, makes even more fresh / mint scent to my nose. The heart notes are just delicious: a sexy vanilla (kind of synthetic but still good) with balsamic but also warm and dense cedar and patchouli. It's more mature than intensively, and it wont project as much. It lasts +12 hours in my skin and probably one of the best fragances for winter / night fall. Costed me 50mL for 43 euros. Price: 43€, 50mL Rate: 9.5/10

For my money, this is the best Giorgio Armani scent of all time Majestic.....this is EXACTLY what a gentleman should smell like Big fashion house budget and expertise meets niche imagination and originality....a devastating combination warm, rich, seductive, dark and brooding, mysterious yet upliftingly light, slick and presentable opens woody and boozy, dries to a boldly inviting heart of creamy iris infused chestnut, touch of lavender to sharpen it, davana, elemi, vanilla, rounded off with a base of lightly smoky patchouli and cedar...an epic smooth immaculate journey. Like gliding on air... Truly thrillingly gorgeous. Solid performance too 9.5/10

This is a mature version of the Stronger with You line in my humble opinion. The "rum" note in this fragrance just stands out with such beautiful class. Just imagine you're sitting at a table with jazz music and a cigar. You get yourself a classy feel just by wearing it. I got this for Christmas last year and was not disappointed. This is a MUST have in your collection. If you have not smelled this yet, go check it out at your nearby Macy's, Sephora, or Ulta to test it out yourself. And of course, always save yourself some dough by purchasing it at an authentic discounters unless retailers have an amazing sale.

First I smelled SWY Intensely, but I liked this one more. it's more subtle and the perfect fragrance for winter and cold times, good complement getter too. its not TOO sweet, just on the edge of headache for me. the start has a really nice lavender and rum mixture, and as it sets it goes more towards the vanilla and woody notes. also its like ETERNAL lasting on clothing, almost makes me not want to spray on my clothes because how long lasting it is on clothes. a moderate 4-6 hour lasting on my skin which is quite nice for me. I give it overall an 8/10, because I wanted the lavender to last and stick out more.

It is a great date night fragrance for winter. Here in Kazakhstan, winters are extremely cold (–30 to –40 °C), and this fragrance smells incredible in that kind of weather. Cold air makes it smoother, sweeter, and much more pleasant. The sillage is absolutely enormous — literally kilometers long. It fills a car or a room in seconds. I made a mistake wearing this to the office. My colleagues were not very happy, and by the evening the smell was still on my skin and even started to annoy me too. This is not an office fragrance. This is for going out, dates, evenings, cold weather. And please - maximum 3 sprays.

Overall 9/10 - I love SWY Absolutely Scent Only 9/10 - The boozy chestnut opens great. Vanilla drydown is nice but a tad simple. Performance 9/10 - Doesn’t necessarily project loud but will truly last 12+ hours. I can smell it the next day. I usually do 4-5 sprays. This is my go-to cold day lounging around scent. The boozy, nutty notes keep it interesting, while the vanilla dry down makes the fragrance always enjoyable the entire wear. It doesn’t project a ton so it’s safe indoors but lasts 12-24 hours so you can enjoy the intimate bubble all day.

I smell this and im instantly teleported to Christmas time, chestnuts roasting on an open fire type vibes lol. what a beautiful fragrance. Still remember last year my crush at work complimented me on this smell and exactly 15 seconds later a random man complimented me on it too lol. I think it smells even better than when i got it last year, i cant wait to rock it this winter now that ive upgraded my fragrance game and know how to layer and make things last longer etc. this is gonna be so good layered with choco musk (the oil) on a nice cold day

Oh my god this is simply a masterpiece. Its boozy, woody, and sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet like SWY Intensely is. I fell in love with it the instant i smelt it. It was the first fragrance I ever bought, my favorite thus far in my collection, and has gotten me lots of compliments on the way I smell. Also like others have mentioned don't listen to the people who tell you that you need to be a certain age to wear this, Im a teenager and I wear this just fine. Its incredible and I will always rebuy this. SWY Absolutely is a 10/10

I ADORE THIS. It's like intensely's older, cooler brother. It's darker and richer, and the rum note just does something that no other SWY can do. I get about 11 hours on skin with a strong projection. I feel as if this would get more compliments than intensly. But you need to wear it with more confidence. A lot of my friends sniff my neck when I'm wearing this to the point it's stuck to their nose. AND THE SILLAGE. Oh my. It's like leaving a trail of string with this scent on it everywhere you walk. Don't buy intensely. BUY THIS.

My personal favorite of the whole line..each flanker has its own character..my personal opinion is that absolutely is the most unique of all..intensely may be more "easy" sweet option and thats ok..but the rum in this and the less sweetness and the superb drydown just make it the best for me..for a more mature but still top scent option absolutely is top tier..can someone tell me if this is gonna be discontinued? If so i think Armani is gonna make a huge mistake..its the most unique and i believe that its considered best seller

Absolutely lovely scent. Personally its one of my favourites, I run it as my signature fragrance during the winter here in Canada. My bottle has very good longevity with sillage and protection fading over time. I wouldn't exactly call it gourmand but it does smell very boozy and sweet. I'd definitely recommend it for younger crowds, 17-30. Last I wore SWY Absolutely, I could smell it the day after I applied it even after two showers. I would recommend it for casual wear and date nights. Great scent overal.

Opens with a creamy, milky, burnt-caramel-like scent; along with a nice subtle booziness and a piney, camphorous, aromatic undertone. The drydown becomes more balanced, the sweetness pulls back a bit and becomes more ambery and woody. Side by side, I think this is more balanced and pleasing compared to Intensely. The only con is that it stains a faint pinkish amber, so just keep that in mind. Overall—this is a mature, masculine, sweet scent; and is my current favorite vanilla scent. ✅Excellent

This is not what I expected. I always thought this is a very sweet frag like naxos or angel’s share. Well it’s not. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Chestnut, vanilla and very subtle rum you would barely notice but gives it a good manly twist. To my nose it’s very similar to givenchy gentleman reserve and personally I prefer the givenchy. But for a romantic date this is more suitable. The only problem is that the scent was not a compliment magnet. Besides that, a solid 8/10 imo.

So i blind bought this because i saw it all over my tiktok. I went to the store to smell it before it arrived, but i did not like it at all. So i planned to send it back when it arrived. Well it did, i tried it on my skin, and when it dried down, the smell hit me so hard. It was so smooth and lovely. I stepped outside with it, and the cold air took it to another level. Likely going to be my winter scent for some time. Great cologne! Favorite blind buy to date.

I have to say, SWY Absolutely really won me over. The blend of rum, chestnut, and vanilla feels warm, cozy, and surprisingly sophisticated. I actually prefer it over Stronger With You Intensely because it’s more balanced Intensely is sweet and long-lasting, but honestly, Absolutely just hits that sweet spot between warmth and sweetness without being overpowering. Perfect for evenings or cooler weather, and it feels more unique than the typical Intensely vibe.

If you’re trying to decide between this and intensely, then i would say: Get absolutely if you want a more mature, boozy sweet scent Get intensely if you’re looking for an all around, pick me up fall winter/fall fragrance I personally enjoy Absolutely more than Intensely after smelling both (sampled both in store before purchase), but a couple of people i know prefer intensely. Really comes down to your personal preference, as both of them are amazing.

This is beast mode. Literally lasts all day. On a particular date after hugging her, she texted me hours later "Wow I still smell like you". SWY might be my favorite DNA & this is by far the strongest one. This smells very sensual, it's a certified date night banger - the rum and chestnut smells like an adventurous night :) To me I prefer smelling Intensely & even Powerfully but this is by far the strongest one of them all

What can i say, its a stronger with you, smells feckin amazing, just want to smell it when its on me, of all the stronger with yous the absolutely just smelts like the the perfect balance for myself being a man in early 40s. No one can hate this profile surely? Especially this time of the year. I reckon ill always have some version of SWY on the shelf depending the mood.

Is it that good ? Absolutely. I blind brought this and wow loving it really well blended you can smells 3-4 notes no one note takes over the other. Lately I've been avoiding this kind of DNA since i got sick of khamra smell on everyone but this is just right, khamra to me now smells like air freshener and they sell air freshener as well, avoid Scent 9 Longevity 8.5

Best in the line. Masculine, smooth, seductive and effortless. Gets attention without screaming for it. I’m almost certain Intensely is debated as the best for one reason only. It does scream for attention and some people only care about projection. I value scents based upon how they smell, performance is secondary, and performance is not an issue with this one.

i've smelled most of the colognes from the SWY line, but this one i have always came back to, intensely smelled too rubbery, parfum too burnt and the original just meh, but absolutely is a perfect mix of that rummy woodiness mixed with a slightly sweet salted caramel vanilla cupcake, lasts around 8-10 hours on me but projection is strong

The first word that I said when I smelled this fragrance was “Damn” it is a relaxing warm boozey vanilla that blends so well together Dad loves it mom loves it and even by bitchy sister liked it. The People I know with a exceptional nose and sense of smell have always been fond of this fragrance. So good, this fragrance is a MUST HAVE

One of the best perfume i have ever tried yet, a little pricey but its worth. Initial note is strong vanilla and aromatic woody. Middle stage it'll turn more mild woody with more vanilla on top. The part is I got compliments even after 4 hrs. I use it only for night parties and outings. Im sure this smell will take you somewhere.

If this fragrance doesn't last on your skin then you probably bought a fake, i spayed once on my arm to see how long it will last, it has been around 14 hours and the scent is now slowly fading away. This is a beast when it comes to longevity and projection, no more than 5 sprays and you'll be fine for a whole day. 10/10

Pour faire simple : prenez SWY Intensely, donnez-lui 20 ans de plus, un verre de rhum et un cigare, vous obtenez SWY Absolutely. C'est un parfum d'homme. Une vanille profonde et épicée, un rhum caractériel et mature, avec une pointe de légéreté grâce à la lavande. C'est un bijou de maturité, de volupté et de charisme.

I understand all the hype, very good gentleman like fragrance. Won't recommend for youth, it's definitely a special occasion fragrance. It's hard to wear for example to school or such. Smell: 9/10, it's great but as it settles you get a weird chestnut smell. Longevity & projection: 9/10. Great fragrance for the dads

I am in love with this perfume. My brother got it and I stole it from him, it is definitely a masculine perfume but the discrepancy between this and my feminine style is delicious. This is such a charming, seductive and dangerous perfume and the combination between booze & patchouli is just beautiful.

This is SWY Intensely’s older brother, more sophisticated and mature. To me, it still has the gardenia ( violet??) note, but it's more dimensional and has an aged smokiness added to its woody ambry dry down. Both are very soft, ( no harshness/ sharpness) and not cloying. This is a favorite of mine!

This is one of my favourite scent profiles ever. It used to be a good performer but recently a friend of mine bought it and the performance is just terrible. After more than 15 sprays, I could barely smell it on him within an arm length and it totally faded after 4 hours. I'm really disappointed.

Probably the best winter fragrance on the market! It's this rich vanilla with rum, lavender and roasted chestnut. The longevity on this thing is insane easily 10+ hours at least on my skin! The projection though is not very good it's kinda moderate, but the smell oh, yes oh, yes! 9.5/10

Smelt this in store and had to pick it up. It reminds me of a warm fireplace, and although I can't really use it now, looking forward to the fall and winter where a scent like this can really shine. Longevity is quite good for me, but it has macerated for 2-3 months now. Love it.

This is a very masculine scent but as a girl that is obsessed with colognes i bought it for myself and i wear it every day, im obsessed with the chestnut note in it it is so addictive the only problem is that it doesn't last long and doesn't project well like the intensely one

Weirdly....on my skin, for the first few hours it reminds me of ‘Layton Exclusif’..... then the dry down, the next day, smells like ‘By the Fireplace’🤔 Very nice and strong! Now certainly isn’t the time of year to wear SWYA, but just kicks and giggles why not😂

Smells like love. ♥ I also like that it lasts forever. a couple sprays on my clothes before bed and i get whiffs of it all night as i toss and turn due to my insomnia XD. so hey this scent makes my daily bedtime suffering much more enjoyable! instant favorite
