Emporio Armani Stronger With You Intensely

Let’s start with one statement: I don’t like... No, I hate cinnamon! It’s the most headache-smelling and tasting thing it in the world. I don’t like cinnamon bakeries, I genuinely believe that people who wear perfumes with this note should be banned from public places, and preferably from private ones as well, and I don’t know any of the fragrances that could make a balanced cinnamon fragrance. Well, I didn’t know... The SWY intensely is just a phenomenal discovery of how to make a hater love something. It’s absolutely incredible and very lovely prepared honey, vanilla, and, can’t believe I’m saying this, cinnamon cake in the entire world. It’s not cloying, doesn’t feel even for a single moment like a weapon of mass disgust, and at the same time is masculine. I’m literally in disbelief that it’s possible, and it’s on me for less than 150 euros for 100ml bottle, which is a victory of consumers Actually, I have quite interesting memory with this fragrance, because it smells like something from a stationery store back in my childhood. Like an aromatic notebook, pen, eraser, or something like this, if you know what I mean. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad, office, or synthetic smell that I remember, rather very familiar and safe I genuinely can’t stop smelling my wrist. The fragrance isn’t just intensely, but abashless, because it feels like a taunt for people near you. Not because it’s offensive or not mass-pleasing, but that tasty. I honestly believe that everyone wants to eat me, so I have to hide somewhere before it’s too late This review is not in my style, a little bit crazy. However, try to understand me. Finding a fragrance built around a note that I hate to be lovely isn't a common thing. I couldn’t understand the hype, thought guys in the fragrance community are just tripping or doing copycat things, but it’s really that good. Very inoffensive for cold winter or spring, cozy, tasty, with a masculine vibe. That’s definitely one of the winter scents that I want to hear around me during chilly days

Fantastic fragrance, insanely delicious and addictive on the dry-down and when you smell the cap, crammed with warm spices and a touch of sticky toffee, with smooth vanilla balancing it out with some creamy, mild sweetness. But when you first spray this onto your hand, and take a good whiff, there is a touch of unpleasant, almost gritty herbal greenness along with the spiciness, which isn't warm yet, kind of fresh in a way, and the vanilla is still there, just less noticeable and a bit synthetic. It stays for about 10 mins, then comes the bakery-esque dry down. The good thing though, is that you can only really smell the greenness when you actually sniff the point that was sprayed, when others smell it projecting, all they can smell is utter deliciousness, which kind of makes the unpleasantness irrelevant. This is seductive, sweet, and alluring, and in my opinion, still able to be worn in warmer months, however I probably wouldn't recommend wearing this in peak summer, even though I did it, and I don't regret it, since it smells so good. Performance is decent as well, getting a good 7-8 hours and moderate to good projection, and to be honest, I think this is slightly masculine leaning, however women could defo pull this off too. Overall, incredible fragrance as long as you don't sniff too hard for the first ten minutes, and even though it's quite common among younger crowds (2 ppl in my friend group of 6 have this is their rotation), I still believe it is one of the top 5 designer frags oat. 9/10

Emporio Armani Stronger With You Intensely opens with fresh aromatics and a little citrus over a dense sweetness underneath. There’s a smooth suede-like leather aspect early on along with some light spice, which helps keep the scent from feeling overly sweet right away. The contrast between the airy top and richer base makes the opening especially nice. As it develops, everything blends into a sweet, slightly spicy toasted chestnut vanilla scent with a smooth leathery backbone and some faint aromatics hanging around the edges. Compared to Stronger With You Parfum, this one is definitely sweeter and warmer, but it still stays drier and more structured for a while instead of immediately turning thick and syrupy. In the drydown, it slowly turns into a warm amber scent with spicy vanilla supporting it. The amber develops a slightly resinous edge that gives it some depth, while traces of the leather stick around in the background adding some character and contrast. The final result is a really nice spicy amber vanilla drydown that feels warm and smooth without becoming overwhelming. Overall, this is a really great scent. The drier leathery and aromatic aspects in the opening work really well against the warm slightly resinous amber vanilla base later on. As far as designer vanilla scents go, it doesn’t get much better than this. 9/10

Stronger with you Intensely is a 9/10. I only have gotten my nose on the new batches, so I don't know about reformulations or other such. Swy intensely is one of the best scents I have gotten, I got mine from the sephora fathers day sampler set. Only real issue is that a ton of people have it, however I don't live in a big city so I don't smell it often. People overstate how bad this is for summer, it's fine in 80 degrees as long as it's not oversprayed. Pros: Extremely addicting, really really good. NEAR beast mode longevity and projection, longevity for me is about 10 hours on skin and days on clothes. Gives a good amount of compliments. Very high quality scent quality with 0 complaints about opening and dry down. Very overhated, people just say it's bad cause they smell it often Cons: TONS of people have this, so in big cities such as chicago or miami you'll smell this a lot. The only complaint i have about this is not having enough.

Wearing this on a chilly rainy day feels like getting a warm hug from an absent father figure in your life. Stronger with You Intensely gives me a different impression from other vanilla-tonka bombs in the market. It’s not a head-turner like Eros Flame or Code Absolu, of course it’s not as luxurious as Baccarat Rouge or Black Phantom. But what it is is this relaxing and alluring scent. Not to say that it’s unique tho, but it gives me a cozy feeling that makes me happy. The best way to use it is to spray it twice on both sides of the neck, once on your chest and your shirt. You’ll be a walking tiramisu cake for 12+ hours, and people can DEFINITELY smell you without being overwhelmed. Wear it on a date or a night out at a cafe, or maybe when you wanna laze around listening to jazz music in your living room on a cold day. It’s an adorable and a mass appealing scent with strong performance. So what’s not to like?
