Emporio Armani Stronger With You Only

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this one 'in terms of the scent alone' is my favourite from the SWY line, i just wish it lasted longer on my skin. The EDT is fantastic and a very close second, but the SWY Only adds a freshness that imo was desperately needed in this DNA. SWY Freeze was a shit show, and didn't even smell like it was from the same line. I own Intensely and that is as sweet as i go. I do wear it now and again, but the sweetness is turned up to the nines with that one 'i don't reach for it very often'. As for SWY absolutely, totally unwearable imo. The sweetness in that one is off the richter scale! And that thing chocked me out with how dense it was.. so sweet i think it gave me a cavity!! SWY Leather was OK at best 'i got minimal leather' and that was a big let down for me as I'm big into my leather fragrances. SWY Oud was average, I knew adding Oud to such a sweet DNA wouldn't do it for me. The only one i haven't tried and that i might like is SWY Amber, so I will look to get a sample. I will update here when i do manage to get my nose on it. My top 3 from the line. 1= SWY Only 8.5/10 2= SWY EDT 8/10 3 = SWY Intensely 7/10.

This works out to be great for me for someone who lives where summers are 40C and cooler months are around 30C. this is a great great option if you want that SWY DNA and to be able to use it during the summer days it projects really well for the first few hours, it does not fill up the room by any chance but anyone coming close to you , def will be very pleased. sometimes that is better. subtle but striking! it reaches the mid notes quicker than i would like but that's not a very bad thing, the opening is the best part of it, very uplifting and great for summer days. And you can enjoy over spraying this one! you don't have to only do 2 sprays you can do about 6 or 8 sprays. it does last nearly full day on the clothes. i would give it 8/10 actually, would i have wanted that it lasted longer ? yes but I already have a SWY intensely for my cooler months where i want the fragrance to last a little longer. I could never wear SWY intensely when going out in the summer with 40C and now i can ! So am i please!? hell yeah! love it.

Smells different than freeze, people are so so quick to flippantly compare fragrances sometimes. It has its own nuances. Freeze is more fruity, citrus.. This is more vanilla and chestnut like the original. It's a really good release and performs well, I personally love it... But I think the whole line is great. Only takes the original DNA and makes it more all year round wearable, it's not as heavy as OG, intensely, absolute etc... It's more airy, vanilla, fresh... Really nice. SWY is easily one of the best lines today.

This perfume is a rare exception! Everything is very well balanced. There is nothing rude about it! It's fresh, citrusy and sweet, but it doesn't tingle your face with brutal bergamots, lemons and vetivers like other brands. I had despaired of the combination (lemon, bergamot, vetiver) that is present in almost every summer fragrance... but this one turned out to be a treasure! A very simple, subtle and well put together perfume! 10/10

As someone who doesn't enjoy minty fresh men perfumes, this one is a sent from heaven. The vanilla is really comforting and it is depicts the note in such a masculine way yet it is smooth and soft. If this fragrance formed a scenery, it would be a comforting wooden fire in a winter night. I can spot the grapefruit only at first as a refreshing whiff so it is not overwhelming. I was a man this would be probably my all-time favourite.
