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.

Not to be a complete glazer but this scent is the ONE for winter time. Smells gorgeous, lasts long and projects well. The women love it too, worn it on many dates and has never failed to receive compliments. My current gf kept a sample so she could remember how good I smell with it. One downside is I would say it has reached oversaturation now, went on a weekend trip with some uni classmates and the three of us wearing SWY ended up in the same car 🫤

I picked this up for my husband because I love me a sexy suede scent. It was love at first sniff. An instant "That's my guy" please come closer vibe. The opening of pink pepper and juniper are bright and add nice contrast to the spicy aromatic mid. The soft sensual sueded vanilla in the drydown pulls it together for a very smoothly blended men's fragrance that sends a shiver up my spine. I purr when my hubby wears this one!

Pros: Undisputed king, insane projection, longevity and smell. The fact that you can get 100ml of arguably an S-tier smelling perfume for £60 makes this a no-brainer unless you are a fragrance nerd. Cons: Even more recognisable than dior sauvage. The only after shave i own that garantees daily compliments but half will be "intensely? Good choice bro" Summary: best value fragance, most recognisable for this reason.

The opening to me is pretty harsh, smells like alcohol wipes or very cheap bourbon, but thankfully that only lasts a minute. Then boom, this really hits the mark. Toasted hazelnuts into a sweet toffee caramel, subtle spice, amber. It lasts so long I could be in a coma for three months, wake up and still smell it on skin. Its warming, comfy, like a snuggle near a fireplace. Compliment getter. Try not to overspray.

Problem is saturation. Every reviewer pushed it, so it says nothing about you now. A lad wearing it on a date competes with her dad, her brother, her cab driver and her ex, all smelling the same. Layer with Encre Noire for dry vetiver, wear it on a weekday morning instead of Saturday night, and use it in August heat when everyone else is on citrus. Buy with conditions. Skip if you want instant individuality.

I like this one, its stronger better and a longer lasting perfume than the already potent original, this one is darker and more intense, very nice sweet almost chocolate caramely with a hint of spice, it projected very well and lasted on my hand more than 12 hours, solid projection the first 3 hours, a great new scent for gourmand lovers and those who enjoyed the original.

This fragrance truly feels like Christmas in a bottle warm, sweet, and comforting. It smells good, no doubt about it. Women generally like this scent on a man, as it’s easy to enjoy and very crowd-pleasing. However, it has become extremely common; everyone seems to wear it. Because of that, it lacks originality and personality. A nice fragrance, but far from unique.

very good vanilla gourmand. perfect for the cold during winter and late fall. it's good when you want to smell sweet and seductive. my only problem with this fragrance is that it's a pretty popular one for young people so if u want to be unique there are better options. lasts long on me, 12h on skin and days on clothes. overall 9.3/10 fragrance

my mother just gifted me this for my birthday, and tbh I love it. it has this sweet cinnamon vanilla chestnut opening thats just super seductive and drys down into a beutiful gourmand vanilla toffee mix. I used to think powerfully is better than this, but now it has a special place in my heart cuz its a gift from my mother.

Absolutely beautiful scent. Smells warm and is perfect for winter. Anytime I go out at night I put this on, really easy reach. It is super popular for a reason. I wish I got a different one from the stinger with you series tho cause this is just way too popular and half my friends have it but it’s absolute amazing. 9.4/10

Everyone's smelled it, it's great. If any cologne could get you a girl it would be this one (obviously they can't but still). I just hate how insanely popular it is, literally every high school in the US has multiple teens rocking it at this point, it's the new sauvage but for the younger crowd in terms of popularity.

Meh meh meh it’s a mid over hyped TikTok fragrance don’t buy it.... Is what I would say if I was a bum. I got this frag as a gift for Christmas and lemme tell you it’s by far my favourite in my collection. Everything from the scent profile to the performance is immaculate. The ladies love it too. Nuff said.

This is one of those fragrances that are instantly addicting that you just cannot get enough of. I LOVE the SWY line. I think they are all deliciously addicting fragrances. I always see myself having Intensely or another Emporio SWY in my lineup at all times. This is an amazing fragrance done perfectly.

Wow smells very nice, def a crowd pleaser. Its interesting how JPG elixr and SWY intensely are both vanilla fragrances but smell so different. Its more than warm and spicy enough to be masculine, dont let the vanilla/sweet notes scare you. Super blind buy safe, you have definitely smelled it before.

Opens very ambery with a powdery, milky, nutty sweetness; alongside a warm, spicy, aromatic undertone and a faint booziness. In the drydown, it becomes creamier, more balsamic, and slightly musky. It isn't overpoweringly sweet for me; I think it is an addictive and comforting fragrance. ✅Excellent

Probably the most complimented frag in my collection. smell of the fragrance is linear in process but complex in execution. The fragrance gives a certain cozy or intimate date-night feeling reminiscent of Maison Margiela's "By the Fireplace". couldn't ask for much more regarding quality. 10/10

Stronger with you intensely is THE most popular in the line and for a reason, this is an amazing edible sweet scent versatile for any winter or night occasion. If you are a specifically Muslim, you will smell this is in every mosque, and it can get sickening but most of the time it isn't 8/10

My best friend had this one for years and I finally got mine yesterday. I LOVE it, and my girlfriend loves it she climbed all up on me because of that lol. 10/10 perfect for evening date night perfume or a winter scent. Also wore it to work in a bar, 7 hours later still held on strong

great quality and amazing smell, opens up smelling fresh and masculine and dries down smelling like a bakery shop. gf's favorite frag and really good signature for the cooler months. For me, great versatility for anytime between September - April. great value if you find it under $90

I think what sets this fragrance apart from others with a similar DNA is its absolutely wonderful suede note. It’s a very attractive and pleasant scent. If it doesn’t bother you that many people might be wearing it (it doesn’t bother me), then there’s really no reason not to buy it.

Very suited for younger people , very sweet but not in and overwhelming way. Perfect for winter or even summer date nights if not too hot and will last all day and project well so only really need 5-6 sprays in my opinion. If you like sweet gourmet fragrances this is for you. 9.5/10

When it’s winter I wear this everyday to school and it’s pulls great compliments from almost anybody and I get around 7-10ish hours of longevity on skin with only about 2-3 sprays and it has a silage of about 4-6 feet in the first 2-4 hours. Super strong and turns heads. 10/10

I remember buying this in school after saving up for the 30ml bottle with my lunch money, It was my first ever "expensive" perfume buy. 5 years later it's still my favorite, and the ONE perfume that I keep re-purchasing. just amazing, it smells so good i wanna eat it

Beautiful, blended to perfection. I still own the original SWY. Both are very very similar scents. Intensely is just sexier in a way of being “yum”, whereas the sweetness of OG is more sophisticated. Sweet but very comfortable to wear in all seasons except summer.

This is the pinnacle of girl-getters. Though it's highly popular, it's still one of the best date-night scents. Older people might find it intoxicating or too sweet, so it's for younger guys. In my opinion, 2-3 sprays are enough, as it's a more powerful fragrance.

Pure Christmas in a bottle. Opens with this really lovely spice then dries down to a beautiful vanilla and toffee mixture. Cuts right through the winter air and is perfect for when it gets really really cold. Lovely smell that's pretty complex. 110% recommend!

I absolutely love this. I love spraying this before I go to bed. The vanilla and amber stands out the most to me. This scent brings a sense of comfort and warmth. Its hyped for a good reason. It lasts a while too because I can even smell it when I wake up.

I'm a Woman and I've been branching out into Male targeted offerings for more interesting choices. This is just lovely! Beautiful clean vanilla. Definitely the most unisex of the line. Purchased this immediately and am happy to have it in my collection.

So seductive and very mass appealing. Just cant go wrong with this one. Toffee is the most dominant in first 2-3h, after that vanilla and honey become main thing. Not too strong frag, with a pretty solid projection. 10/10 winter sweet fragrance.

Maravilhoso, um perfume beeem quente, parece que sai aquecido quando espirra ele. Cheira como uma torta de maçã com canela saindo do forno, super confortável, uma delícia. Aroma: 9/10 Perfomance: não sei, volto aqui quando adquirí-lo
