Emporio Armani Stronger With You Amber

My signature scent for sure. My introduction to this fragrance was only recent, as I've only just recently gotten more involved in the perfume world, but personally while going around multiple malls and using the testers in Sephora/Douglas, this is the scent that caught my attention the most out of all the other designer fragrances. I haven't yet been tapped too much into niche fragrances so I can't say much about comparing it to that part of fragrances. Nonetheless, making the introduction that long is so I can clarify that when I say this is my favorite winter fragrance, that I have ever smelt, I mean it, without exaggeration. It's perfect, in my opinion, it makes me want to keep smelling my clothes, it's very addictive and alluring, and so far everyone around me that's commented on it has said that it smells amazing aswell, (especially women). Some comments say it's too sweet for them, or feminine (?). I don't get that at all, it's an amazingly elegant fragrance with a perfect balance between its notes. You will absolutely get complimented during winter for wearing this. Comparing it to the other SWY's, as I previously stated, this stood out the most to me, SWY and SWY Absolutely were just not it for me from the start, and Intensely was good, but this took it a step further for me. It's just a better Intensely in my opinion. My nose may not be as refined as the old men on here who have been collecting fragrances for decades, but if people tell you that you smell good, then you're doing something right. Must buy for winter. Sillage 9/10. Longevity 10/10. (especially on clothes) Scent 10/10.

Emporio Armani Stronger With You Amber represents a sophisticated and almost "niche" evolution of the famous Stronger With You line. Launched in 2023, this chapter moves away slightly from the extreme gourmand sweetness of its predecessors to embrace a warmer and more enveloping elegance. Despite belonging to the Oriental Fougère group, the real protagonist here is a rich and honeyed amber that gives the perfume a golden and luminous character. Opening: You can immediately perceive the DNA of the line (the lavender and that spicy touch), but it is immediately smoothed out by a very present amber note. Heart: Lavender provides an aromatic cleansing that keeps the fragrance from becoming too heavy or "sticky". Bottom: The dry-down is the strong point. Amber magically blends with Madagascar vanilla, creating a creamy, warm and slightly woody and enveloping trail that persists over time. Compared to Stronger With You Intensely or Absolutely, the Amber version is: More Mature: Less "chewing gum" and more resinous. Exclusive: It is part of the special editions that often have a more limited distribution, making it less common among the crowd. Balanced: The amber accord adds a "sunny" depth that perfectly balances the warm spices. Expert's opinion: If you love perfumes that smell like a "warm embrace" and are looking for something elegant for a dinner or a date in the cold months, this is probably the best variant of the line after the original. Although it is classified as unisex, many a perfect point of union between commercial and luxury Arab perfumery, thanks to the quality of the amber used.

Underrated and beautiful piece of work. It has the same lavender as SWY Parfum. It is not as mature as the Parfum version, but it is still very mature, more than any other SWY flankers. People usually compare this to SWY Intensely, yes the vanilla base is similar, but they are NOT the same. They are very different. Try to imagine SWY Parfum’s lavender and the mature nature of that perfume, mix it with the typical SWY DNA vanillin base, add a bit more floral and amp it up with smouldering amber. In my opinion this is the best SWY flanker, along with the Parfum version. Yes, better than Absolutely and Intensely imo. This is a great choice if you love the SWY DNA, and at the same time you want to stand out amongst the croud and your friend group. Longevity is great, easily 10+ hours. Projection is good, projects better than SWY Intensely surprisingly, on my skin of course. This is highly subjective on which SWY is your favorite, and which you should go for. Each has their own skin chemistry, but in my opinion this is the best SWY out right now. I will gatekeep this from my friends. Longevity: 10/10 Projection: 9.5/10 Scent profile: 9.5/10 Compliment factor: 9/10 Overall: 9.5/10.

My son loves the SWY series that this is my 2nd flanker aside from the OG. I know this has been redundant. You will only know differences if you compare them side by side. So far this has been my favorite among the three. Opening is sweet vanilla lavander with still that burnt caramel smell (for me) that is the signature of SWY. I preferred this among the three in that the sweetness is the most subdued. Not as "in your face" as the OG. At mid dry down you'll smell a little iris note retaining the vanilla scent then dries down powdery. If you have the other 2, save your money. If people are used to smellin you with the character of SWY or Khamrah, they won't know the difference. Of course compliments will be there but you are better off with just one SWY. Performance will make it worth the money at a conservative 7-8 hours but can go longer on clothes. Projection might be 2 arms length or more on respray. I guess I can say the same with Sillage. It won't be named as such if it will not perform. Once smelled, they will remember your name. 😊

SWYA is truly a stunning and easy to wear masculine forward (although very wearable for women) amber fragrance. SWYA is also a very safe blind buy if you enjoy sweet/semi-sweet Amber forward fragrances. SWYA doesn’t really deviate from the SWY scent lineage. Just image SWY (OG) or SWYI with a slight reduction in sweetness. However, with a nice infusion of Amber that lasts throughout the wearing life-cycle. This stuff is 🔥 The vanilla note in SWYA have been done so exquisitely that SWYA doesn’t have the typical cheap vanillic smell that many vanilla infused fragrances can typically have. Performance and scent quality is also top notch and I am experiencing 16+ hours of performance. I suspect most people will easily yield upwards of 10 hours of longevity. Depending upon an individual’s skin chemistry, et cetera. If you want to own SWYA. Don’t wait to long to get yourself a bottle as reseller prices will likely become highly inflated. 💯 Overall: 8.5/10
