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?

I have checked all stronger with you and intensely is my favourite, what is scent profile it is Warm, smoky toffee with addictive sweetness, so a guy said in comments it’s to feminine is completely wrong it’s more male type of fragrance because its warm and spicy and smooky as well so you can say it’s unisex but not feminine at all and look at the ratings on fragrantica more male or male rated. And then he said i got cinnamon only bro it doesn’t smell cinnamon, cinnamon is in background you will get more warm smooky vanilla, and toffee amber , tonka been and cinnamon. If you want to smell sweet fragrances go and get YSLY EDP or Eros EDP those are sweet and pure headache fragrances but Stronger with you intensely is way better and different type of sweetness like smooky and ambre and spicy type of sweetness. Scent 9/10 Longevity 10/10

oh boy, where do i start. 9/10. ts is the most glorious thing I've ever smelt. I don't even want to try to break down the notes, just know that its sweet (but not at all cloyingly sweet), warm (the perfect amount), and so masculine-ly edible. By far the best winter fragrance I have ever blessed by nose with. Lasts a great amount of times and projects the perfect amount (2nd most complemented fragrance and most complimented winter scent) This is so good in fact that 2 of my friends bought it literally the night I first wore it around them. They got theirs on Costco's website for like 80$ so keep an eye out for discounters cuz i payed 135$ at Sephora. In all, BUY THIS IF YOU WANT COMPLIMENTS AND I PROMISE YOU WONT STOP SMELLING YOURSELF TOO (maybe smell a sample first though, idk everyone's different)

Starts off with a huge blast of spicy cinnamon candy, almost Fireball like.. which quickly starts to sweeten up. This comes off sweet, but it’s more spicy than sweet to my nose. Not thick at all nor cloying, very smooth. I’m getting a greenish “tree” note from the Juniper in the background. Seems to be thickening up a little as time goes on. Just very peppery/spicy with a strong cinnamon note. Perfect Christmas season scent, would be wonderful on a date night. Azzaro The Most Wanted was one of my favorites for the same occasions and I decided to try this as the notes looked wonderful. Needless to say, this is also amazing! The Most Wanted was more pure sweet with a slight “green” cardamom spice, where SWYI has a strong spicy cinnamon vibe on top of the toffee sweetness.

Emporio Armani Stronger With You Intensely is one of the best sweet designer fragrances on the market. It opens with spicy pink pepper and cinnamon before quickly revealing a rich blend of toffee, vanilla, and amber. The dry down is warm, smooth, and slightly woody, creating a scent that feels both comforting and incredibly attractive. Performance is excellent, lasting around 8–10 hours with strong projection, especially during the first few hours. It shines in autumn and winter and is perfect for date nights, parties, and evening wear. Its sweet, addictive scent profile makes it a consistent compliment getter and a favorite among fragrance enthusiasts. If you enjoy warm, sweet, and masculine fragrances, Stronger With You Intensely is an easy recommendation. 9.5/10.

,,blah blah blah this is well know, oh its overhyped blah blah" look i always rate the really hyped/well known frags harshly and still this is one of those where right now im getting more into niche and this is still one of the really good ones just by the pyramid i can tell this was perfumed really well a tiny bit of it kinda smells like a weird synthetic like a pool floatie but not really that much and of course have i smelt this in public multiple times then came up to that person say ,,yo is that swy intensely?" and for them to say ,,yes" the answer is of course yes also is deff aint unisex and surprisingly for a gourmand pretty masculine anyways i thought genuinely at first this wasnt my cup of tea but over time shiii its one of the best things

SWYI is sweet, warm and kinda addictive right from the start. You get that hit of spicy pink pepper, but it quickly turns into this thick toffee and vanilla mix with cinnamon running through it. It’s very much a cold weather scent, feels cozy and loud at the same time. The sillage is strong for the first few hours, people around you will notice it easily, and it settles into a solid bubble after that. Longevity is great, easily 8 to 10 hours on skin and even longer on clothes. It can get a bit too sweet if you overspray or wear it in warmer weather, but for nights out or winter days it just works. This is blind buy safe. Everyone's nose / skin is different. Your experience may differ.

Scentlet.co.uk for the cheapest decants (UK only) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This scent is right up my alley, starts very gourmand with lots of toffee but it's not overly sweet, it has a bit of woodiness with the lavender too which cuts through the sweetness and makes it a bit more masculine and mature smelling. It dries down to a more subtle vanilla-toffee scent but remaining less sweet than the opening with an almost leathery smell. It's very masculine and inviting, would be perfect for a date. After an hour or so it becomes quite smoky like a fireplace in a really pleasant way Overall: 4.7/5

An iconic, mass appealing and extremely smooth and rich cold weather fragrance that performs really well for HOURS. Difficult to beat something like this at under $100 for a 3.7oz bottle on discounters. Leans more masculine in my opinion, though I could definitely see women also wearing this on their skin and making it work beautifully. Smells like refined vanilla and spices, warm caramel and toffee with amber, fine woods and a hint of nuttiness to really tie off the elegance of this scent. Wearable for nearly every occasion you can think of during the autumn and winter. Highly recommend this stuff!

There is no toffee in this since the reformulation guys!!! Read for yourself on the Armani website. This is a very strong performer so watch the sprays! I feel even 2 sprays might be pushing it. Very strong projection and excellent longevity. Quite sweet but not sickingly so. Vanilla and smoky chestnut is prominent. Not getting toffee or caramel because it's not in the notes since the reformulation. Very aromatic and can see why this draws compliments... however, everyone is wearing this... I smell it everwhere. Personally, I'd reserve it for the cooler weather, nights out. It is strong!! 💪

This is such a delightful fragrance! I absolutely adore it. It’s the one that first introduced me to the world of perfumes. It’s incredibly sweet, with a lovely vanilla base and a hint of chestnut that really makes it special. It lasts a long time, and it’s a hit with everyone. The only thing I wouldn’t wear it in the summer, and it might give you a headache. Do I like it? Yes Would I wear it? Absolutely Does it last? 8+ hours Did it blow me away? Yes Safe blind? Yes Worth the price? Yes Is it unique? Yes Overall rating: 9.5/10

10/10 likely my favorite frag and I don't give perfect ratings often. SWYI has a unique and high quality feel that is unlike anything else in my cabinet. It's a luxurious scent with the sweet and spicy mix that has become a contemporary icon. The sillage and projection is amazing, even under minimal sprays you can leave a room, come back, and smell your trail. The longevity is 10+ hours on skin and days on clothes. I try not to wear it too often because it's an experience that I reserve for special occasions.

Someone sitting next to me was applying this on the plane, crazy, I know. Normally, I'd think do you really have to spray perfume on the plane bro, but I loved the scent so I checked out the bottle and later found it, and bought it. One of my most worn perfumes in the colder seasons. It smells like Christmas goodness but in a sexy and more masculine way. I still wear it as a woman because I like more masculine scents but this on a man, also appreciate. Good taste. Will give the airplane guy a pass.

I had a sample of this like a year ago. Loved it, but not enough to buy a bottle. Found a good sale on a 50ml and bought it the other day. It's great. I have really grown to appreciate the warmth of amber fragrances, and love vanilla. I like walking around smelling like a spicy cookie. Lasts for hours and hours. I think it works great any time of day, although definitely more suited to cold days. More amber would be nice, but I can always layer with grand soir if I want to really go crazy.

This stuff is the definition of mass appealing and will probably stay in my collection forever as its my girlfriend's favorite on me. It is a simple gourmand fragrance. It is toffee, cinnamon, and vanilla. But, it is done amazingly well. Its not unique, but it doesnt need to be! This is a monster performer, my bottle leaked and I rubbed a little bit of the juice on my fingers. It lasted 3 entire hand washings over 6 hours. Regular performance is at least 12 hours in my experience. 9/10

Stronger With You Intensely has been my absolute staple since day one. There’s an addictive quality to its blend of spicy pink pepper, cinnamon, and warm toffee that I just can't get enough of. It’s bold, sweet, and incredibly comforting in cold weather. Now that the Amber version is out, I’m eager to see how it reinvents that signature DNA with a richer, more luminous and resinous glow. A true modern masterpiece for anyone who loves a deep, gourmand signature.
