Emporio Armani Stronger With You Parfum

Updated review, a couple months later: Today, I tried two of the other Stronger With You flankers: Absolutely and Intensely. I believe the Parfum takes the cake for the best of the DNA, so I guess I got lucky when I blind bought this for Christmas. It's possible I like Intensely more or just as much, but the two are so similar that it's not really worth exploring. I've worn this fragrance (the Parfum) dozens of times at this point, and while I still love it, I've tried so many new fragrances since first trying it that my perspective has changed. This is smoky, sweet but somehow dry at the same time, complex, and quite incredible, especially for an affordable designer fragrance. The chestnut, amber, vanilla, sage/lavender, the pepper in the opening, the sweetness of the dry down, it all makes for a wonderful fragrance. But there's something about it that has caused me to wear it less and less. It may be a bitterness, or one note that doesn't fully agree with my nose, but when the time comes for me to pick a fragrance to wear in the morning, I rarely find myself reaching for this anymore... Overall, my 9.5/10 has dropped to a 7.5-8/10. Original review: On paper, this is a fragrance that might be hit or miss for me - I like sweet, deep fragrances, but I'm not always a fan of peppery notes or lavender. I blind bought this for Christmas, not realizing that this could be a bit of a risk for me, at a time when I didn't take fragrances very seriously and just wanted something new. Luckily, I loved SWY Parfum immediately. This fragrance is blended perfectly, so well that the pepper and lavender notes add nuance and balance to the sweetness of this fragrance, instead of detracting from the smell. This fragrance is warm, strong, and perfect as a daily winter fragrance. It's also versatile enough that I'm expecting to be able to wear a light layer of this on some spring/summer days. It opens with a spicy, peppery, slightly sweet and warm punch, drying down to a syrupy, roasted-chestnut and vanilla scent with a hint of lavender, and eventually a touch of leather. It is also a little boozy. I haven't tried anything else from the Stronger With You line, but this fragrance is so good that I can't imagine improving upon the DNA, so I might blind buy a different flanker just out of pure curiosity, even if it would be redundant. Overall, with the powerful sillage and projection, fantastic longevity, fair price, and most importantly the wonderful smell of this fragrance, it is near-perfect: I give this a 9.5/10.

I kinda ignored the SWY line for years because of it’s reputation as a very youthful and playful scent popular amoungst teenagers. They mostly wear Intensley and I have smelled that sickly sweet scent in public many times before. As a 27 year old I didn’t wanna keep that same vibe going into my 30’s so I kinda wrote off the whole lineup. One recently day I was at the mall and I decided to smell this, the parfum and I’m very glad I did. It takes the skeleton/DNA of Intensley but massively tones down the sweetness and adds some drier notes to balance it. I ordered a 100ml as soon as I got home, the bottle presentation is very nice. When you first spray you get a very smooth opening of pink pepper and muted citrus, the roasted glazed chestnut, vanilla and lavender are apparent immediately and create a very pleasant, nutty and sweet but not exactly gormond backbone. After a few minutes a slightly smokey leather comes into play and adds an entirely new dimension to the DNA, giving it a badboy, sexual, attractive feel rather than a playful one like Intensley. Cinnamon adds a bit more spice throughout the drydown and sage is giving it a very slightly herbal edge. The smell is just great, it is super inviting and comforting yet mysterious and masculine. This is the SWY DNA refined and perfected, with an acceptable amount of sweetness for men over 30. The preformance is great and matches the quality of the scent, with 3-5 sprays you get 8-12 hours easily with skin scent for 24. Projection is 3ft for 4-6 hours, a very good projector for a parfum. I am totally satisfied in this department. If you are a little older, like darker scents or just want the best SWY I would recommend this one above all the others. I give it a 9.5/10 a near perfect scent for evenings, fall and winter (with low sprays you can pull off a cool spring day). I am so glad I gave it a shot at the mall, this reminds me to always go out of my comfort zone and I may find gold like this fragrance.

Warm, fairly sweet opening. Doesn’t quite match my memory of the original, but I guess that’s the whole idea with a flanker. The original is one of my favorite fragrances, so Stronger With You Parfum has a lot to live up to in order to please me. It smells a bit more grown-up, more mature than the original as I remember it. It’s also a little less sweet. It’s almost as if there’s something bitter at the core, and the whole fragrance has a dark, woody-peppery veil draped over it – in a positive way. Quite quickly it settles on the scent strip and lands in that slightly darker, more bitter shade compared to Stronger With You original. Otherwise, it’s very clear that this is the Stronger With You DNA we’re dealing with. Perfect for hot, intimate date nights during dark, cozy autumn and winter evenings. More versatile than other dark “cuddle scents” since it doesn’t bring Christmas to mind (like Khamrah and many others do). Test on my husband: the first test was in the middle of the hottest summer day. It smelled somehow out of place. And almost as if it was missing salt(!) You know that experience when you taste a wonderfully spiced sauce, but realize you didn’t use enough salt, so the flavors don’t quite shine. Exactly that, but the olfactory version. The second test took place on a dark evening now at the end of August, when it had already turned chilly where we live. Now the fragrance fit perfectly and it worked very well on my husband. Like a grown-up version of Stronger With You, simply put. But we both smell leather! HOW can there not be a leather note listed for this?! The fragrance started off very close to the skin, but after about half an hour it had settled and transitioned from leather to a spicy vanilla with better projection. Not a syrupy-sweet vanilla, but a safe, sophisticated and masculine vanilla.

Strong with You Parfum was a very surprising fragrance; it is an extremely mature and reserved. It’s a dark warm spicy opening with a strong vanilla and nutty background notes. As it dries down it keeps a very similar profile but a pleasent floral hint rises to the surface and the vanilla note lightens. The spice notes are extremely plesent as well, I really appreciate the lightness of the cinnamon in particular. The performance on Stronger with You Parfum is great but just slightly shy of incredible. On the longevity side I got right around 8 hours on my skin, maybe 8.5 at max. Interestingly Strong with You Parfum is sticking to my clothes incredibly well, lasting well over 24 hours so far but without much projection. A 7/10 for longevity. The projection on Stronger with you Parfum is very liner, decreasing from initial application to the end of its life. Starting off with immensely strong projection in the room I applied it but tapering down over the first how to projection a couple feet around me, just slightly inside my arms length. From there it slowly faded down to a skin scent by hour 7 and was gone between hour 8 & 8.5. A 9/10 for projection. Strong with You Parfum is incredible, it’s a very mature but not overpowering spicy dark nutty vanilla fragrance without a ton of sweetness. It feels like a very pleasent evolution of the sweet spicy vanilla fragrances. It’s a 9/10 overall for me and one I would definitely wear again, either in the winter or at night. It makes me very excited for the rest of the Stronger with You line.

Grabbed this up today. Have sniffed testers of a bunch of different versions of this, but this one is the first one that really stuck out to me. I was torn between Absolutely and this, but Absolutely reminded me a bit too much of Bad Boy Extreme, which would make the purchase, and my bottle of BBE feel redundant, so I went with this one. I also picked it up at retail for $135, compared to Jomashop at $120 + Shipping and then waiting literally a week to two weeks for shipping (this has been par for them lately), I didn't mind the extra 15 bucks. This was a very addictive and pleasant smell while sniffing it in store on a strip, getting the bottle home and sampling it here, it feels almost like a niche version of the SWY DNA. The opening has a little of that kind of boozy thing going on, with a huge peppery spicy blast that shines pretty bright, I also detect a distinct sweet leathery tobacco feel that only seems to shine more and more as it dries more. It gets more nutty and the sweetness is rather tame compared to others in the line. Lavender is definitely present along with a beautiful vanilla. Performance is what seems to be the most worth it for the price, pretty beastly all in all. I can't really give an adequate review of the performance as I won't really get to wear this until it gets a little cooler in the next couple of months, but I venture to guess this will be pretty powerful. Will likely re-review or edit this review after really getting to wear this.

Tbh i personally don't understand the whole bbq smell people are talking about. Personally I think its the most masculine in the entire line up and smells utterly amazing. I remember when i first smelt this i tested it and thought this just smells liquid leather and not in a pleasant way so i was kinda put off from buying it and didn't think anything else of it. Couple months later im in the pharmacy and it's on a stand so i said why ttest it out again cuz i was already trying out the other SWY fragrances and see what it smells like, i test it and WOW it smelt so much more elegant, sophisticated and sexier than the first time i smelt it. The real magic in this is in the dry down. the opening isn't harsh but it is quite strong and smells like leather with some incense and the swy dna toned down but the dry down is so beautiful, it's just this soft spicy and smooth vanilla scent that is so addictive. To put it simpler tho this kinda smella like Absolutely and the OG just without that boozy smell that you get from Absolutely. I wouldn't suggest blind buying it only cuz i dont think this would appeal to everyone's noses but for the person that loves a dark, subtly sweet and very masculine kinda smell then this is definitely for you. I think Armani definitely killed it once again with this flanker. 9.4/10

So, I grabbed Stronger With You Parfum (50ml) for 74 bucks, absolute steal, and let me tell you, this one is a banger. Bottle: sleek, darker than the rest of the line, and the cap has a nice weight to it. Only issue? Fingerprints everywhere. But honestly, who cares, it looks premium. The scent: wow. Straight up hypnotic. You get that smooth lavender, sweet vanilla, a nutty kick, and then this smoky twist that’s just addictive. I usually don’t vibe with smoky fragrances, but this one? It had me hooked from the first spray. The dry down? Chef’s kiss, it doesn’t get boring or flat, it keeps that sexy vibe going. Performance: beast mode. Not nuclear, but powerful enough. Think strong, confident scent bubble that people will definitely notice when they’re close. On me it lasted about 11 hours, no lotion, no tricks, just raw staying power. Redundancy check: is it just another flanker? Nope. It’s got the DNA, but this is different enough to stand on its own. If you like the line, you’ll want this in your collection, no question. Extra: the fragrance doesn't project loud but it stays close to you, leaving a nice aura around you, you don't need to overspray as it's a strong scent, just doesn't project, 3 sprays is enough

This was my first fragrance I fell in love with. It was my signature for about a month. But as we all do, I moved on. Revisiting it for this review my opinions on it have changed and my bottle seems to have macerated a bit. At the beginning the mandarin was more pronounce, the leather wasn't as strong and the pink pepper was smoother. The chestnut has began to show more as well. This as caused my opinions to shift. The combination of mandarin, complimented by the pink pepper and lavender, and leather, complimented by the chestnut was an intoxicating smell that would have me spraying it whenever I has access to the bottle. Now, on the other hand, I rarely wear it have have come to occasionally dislike it. The leather has become headache inducing and the mandarin smells almost woody and has, like I said, begin to fall off. I'd say the chestnut has become more pleasing and better than before but with it losing my two favorite notes, in the mandarin and leather, I can no longer call this my favorite fragrance. I also have to say for a "parfum" this does not last as long as it should on my skin. It becomes a skin scent in a few short hours and, on my skin, the other SWYs last longer.

This has become a fast favorite of mine, just in time for the seasons for which it is best suited. It opens with a rich and spicy arrangement, this is a seriously full-bodied fragrance which commands your attention and fills your senses with its presence. As it dries down, the spice seems to fade away, but you are left with a warm and confident profile. There’s a smoky vibe to it, but it is also sweet with vanilla. The sweetness is not cloying or synthetic at all, and the smoke is not suffocating or overwhelming. Longevity for me has been really great, easily lasting for a full 8 hours or more (sometimes pushing past 12 hours, which I personally love). The only thing I'll warn is that despite this being a fairly strong fragrance with great longevity, in my own experience it has almost no projection. In saying that, I think it would be a killer choice for date nights and other close and intimate occasions. During fall and winter I think you can get away with daily driving since you aren't going to overwhelm anyone you pass by in the office.

The second most mature in the Swy lineup behind Sandalwood at least to my nose. Starts as a cinnamon-mandarin forward fragrance, which sounds kind of weird but it works really beautifully. Dries down to a beautiful spicy and smooth nutty vanilla with leather. The dry down is very similar to Swy sandalwood, just a bit sweeter, so if you enjoy that scent profile but can’t find sandalwood due to it’s exclusivity then I would recommend this if you still want that signature Swy dna but more mature. Masterfully blended fragrance but is pretty strong, especially in closed spaces like a car before it dries down, so be mindful of that. I’ve been complimented on this saying that the scent trail (of which it has a very large one) smells like a pie/baked sweets. Honestly, I can kind of see that, but to my nose it’s more in that creamy/dark vanilla realm. Really great fragrance if you want a designer that lasts and is a little unique.

Love this one. Easily the most mature of this DNA. I own bottles of all, except SWY 'Absolutely'. The dialed-back restraint is a welcome departure from the previous flankers. With the exception of SWY Oud, they're very loud and sweet. I like the DNA, but have to be in the mood for it. This one has that subtle touch of leather that makes all the difference. Sometimes that is enough. Performance is very good. Not a monster projector, but my first wearing yielded a very nice reception from those at a recent get-together. If you aren't a fan of this DNA, then it is what it is. If you do like the DNA, you'll most likely enjoy this one. It is very good. Edit to add: If you get 'bbq sauce' when smelling this fragrance, please give up the hobby. Your nose is beyond repair...

Stronger with you parfum,, this is one of my most complimented and most dangerous yet addictive smelling colognes, this has a really good projection, atleast 4 feet, and you need 3-4 sprays max, and it is the best clubbing scent In my band I always wear this for indoor performances, and wow it's sexy and complimented, I also wear this to smell very annoying in the summer heat. The only problem is that the opening has this not very good pink pepper, smells like black pepper, and the orange isn't so good for Armani quality, that's my problem, but the drydown is very nice, and turns into a non offensive skin scent Overall 7.9/10, but I'd purchase absolutely or intensely when I'm done with the bottle

No es el más exclusivo de mi colección, pero cada vez que me lo pongo lo disfruto. Tiene algo que simplemente me pone de buen humor. Dulce, cómodo y de esos perfumes que hacen que quieras seguir oliéndote el brazo. A veces hasta me pongo un poco estando en casa solo para pasarme el día oliéndolo. It may not be the most unique fragrance in my collection, but I always enjoy wearing it. There’s something about it that simply puts me in a good mood. Sweet, comforting, and one of those fragrances that makes you keep smelling your arm. Sometimes I even wear a little at home just so I can enjoy smelling it throughout the day

Lovely. Close to be a 10/10. Imagine 3 brothers. Intensely the younger early 20’s boy, chasing girls, partying. Absolutely the middle on, in his mid-late 20’s, trying to find/create himself, working already, going to gym, reading books, etc. And the parfume is the oldest one 30+, mature, having a good job/doing his own business, might have a family already. If you loved absolutely (as i used to do) but now you feel you just got old, you’re close to or over 30 and don’t wanna wear a too sweet fragrance anymore try this one out. This is it! The most mature version of them.

In my opinion, this is the best flanker in the Stronger With You line. It feels more refined, seductive, and modern, not as sweet as Intensely and not as boozy as Absolutely. It opens with a slightly fresh, spicy, aromatic vibe, then transitions into this nutty vanilla sweetness that’s seriously intoxicating. In the background, there’s a smooth blend that reminds me of tobacco and leather, adding depth without overpowering the scent. The sillage is incredible and the longevity is excellent. Overall, it smells mature, sophisticated, and very well-rounded. 10/10.

I smelt Stronger With You parfum today, sprayed it on my hand and was immediately hit with leather spices and that sweet ambery scent that's always present in the Stronger With You range. As it dried down I knew I was gonna like this one. The longer it stayed on my skin the more I loved it. Projection and longevity are on point. It does smell a little like Intensely but what sets it apart is that added essence of leather. I really love it. Ignore the negative reviews and try it for yourself because this is an extremely likeable and sensual masculine fragrance.

what I love about Stronger With You Perfume is the medicinal opening. It is deep, a little bit sweet (not sugar-like) and smoky. The medicinal scent only lasts for 20 minutes. what comes after it is vanilla. it feels cozy, relaxing, warm and cashmere-like. the dry down is okay. lavender makes is a bit special. At least it is not powdery. But I didn't get any leather. But it may not be a bad thing. Perfume is less playful. it reminds me of Eau Duelle by diptyqueparis but not as soft as Eau Duelle. Stronger With You Perfume is not as sexy as Grand Soir by MFK.

I tried this on skin for the third time at a sephora. Each time I wear it, I like it more and I've decided I'll buy it. I normally don't like vanilla scents, but this one doesnt hit me over the head with it. I get much more of I guess what's the chestnut in the late drydown. There's also an unexpected airiness or lightness that accompanies the chestnut. It moves like Iso e super but it doesnt smell like it. Whatever the fu3k that means. But i think its suitable for springlike almost warm days for that reason (as well as cool and cold). Peace 2u fragfreaks.

The opening is strong. Got to a point where kinda resembled Eros EDT a bit for a couple of minutes. Spiciness is good, I like it a lot. Definetly a more mature version, and not overly sweet like other versions of it. The leather accord is smooth in this one, not that in your face type of leather. Well rounded, the chestnut and the vanilla goes together very well. This will be my go to winter fragrance for sure. If you like spicy and not too overly sweet fragrances this will be a good choice. For me, this version is the best and its strong ash.

The best flanker of the bunch so far. It’s more refined and grown up than it’s predecessors. Just straight up sexy and masculine. I like to layer it over Creed Oud Zarian and it creates an extraordinary scent bubble that places your whole aura on a pedestal. It confidently speaks for you without you needing to say a word. Calmly and concisely whispering to anyone who comes within arms reach, telling them “I am Him”. If dark, confident, serious, and sensuous is your style — this one is definitely worth adding to your fragrance cabinet.

when the stronger with you line started getting a lot of traction, i remember smelling SWY intensely and liking it, but not understanding where all of the hype was coming from. the parfum, however, impressed me a ton! this fragrance is a beautiful cozy and nutty vanilla scent with a touch of smooth leather that blends together beautifully with the other notes. not to mention it has a brightness to it from the citrus and lavender notes that elevate the scent profile from being predominantly sweet. so glad i gave this one a try!

Not a fan of the SWY line overall, but the Parfum is much more complex and darker. The added leather note isn’t too overwhelming, and it’s balanced. if not overpowered by the signature SWY sweetness. Performance is super strong. In passing and in the air, the leather isn’t very noticeable, and there’s almost a fruity sweetness that comes through on first whiff. Of the easily accessible SWY fragrances, this and Powerfully are my favorites. Great performance and scent overall, I'd definitely recommend.

This used to smell super not-good and weirdly synthetic to me. But after giving it a shot again, I can't help but to want a full bottle. This is a sweet but masculine, energetic but grounded, and overall great smelling fragrance. It just smells like a delicious vanilla dessert. It's long lasting and fun to wear as well. I'd get a full bottle of this if I could ever afford it. Longevity and overall performance on this is not bad either. And that chestnut note? So good. Overall rating: 8.5/10. Yum 😋

i f3cking love this stuff soooo muchh. its so smooth and more refined than other swy flankers. Its like you took swy intensely and absolutely mixed together you get swy parfum. It got that sweetness and very strong and masculine scent,dark scent. I love this stuff so much but... it doesnt suit me or my personality tho, BECAUSE it smells too mature on me. but i love it. I highly reccomend it if you are looking for dark and mysterious fragrance. performance 10/10 scent: 9/10. Really good.

You are at the Great Northern Hotel in Twin Peaks. Wooden interiors, a lit fireplace, thick red curtains. A warm, welcoming atmosphere surrounds and relaxes you. Soft armchairs. The mood is a blend of a comforting place that protects you from the mystery that, outside the windows, can be sensed among the forest trees. The wind moves the pines in the night, the fire warms you, and you prepare for a long night... Chestnut, warm wood, vanilla, lavender, leather.

I tried comparing this with intensely, and I was quite surprised at how similar it is. The difference is that Intensely stands out with its sweet toffee and cinnamon notes. This sweetness isn't too much, but somehow the “Parfum” smell is more balanced, which is what makes it perfect in my opinion. If you already have Intensely, I think this might be a bit redundant. Don't even ask about longevity, sillage, and projection, it's excellent. I'd give it a 9.5/10.

Something about the vanilla, chestnut, and leather tone to this fragrance just stands out as we approach the holiday seasons. Depending on where you live, this is great to wear during the fall, winter, and spring. The ladies love the smell of vanilla, and I don't blame them at all. If you don't have this in your collection, check out Macy's, Sephora, or Ulta. But of course save yourself some money and buy from an authentic discounter. You won't be sorry.

This is loved by many and rightly so. It is a great vanilla scent, and what makes this stand out is the roasted chestnut note. It can open up quite “alcoholy” and “boozy” but if you wait for the drydown, you will be rewarded with a lovely complex, sweet but masculine scent. It’s not too sweet and doesn’t come off as obnoxiously loud or simplistic, the smell has complexity to it and definitely more mature than other sweet vanilla bombs out there.

In my opinion the best SWY, better than absolutely, and is strong and the one that differs and stands out to a different twist of the swy dna, the leather in this fragrance is amazingly done because it isn’t straight up leather but it’s mixed with other notes of vanilla and pink pepper, however, the notes that are more recognizable and stand out is the chestnut with leather, longevity and projection are really strong in the good way, 9 out of 10

I’ve had all the SWY scents and I loved them. Nowadays the EDT/Intensely/Absolutely (new batches) are reformulated, and they don’t last as long as they used to. I got this new 2025 Parfum version today because I wanted to give the line one last chance. I can feel the DNA of the earlier versions, but this one is definitely a more mature scent. At first sniff I really like it, and it seems long-lasting, but I’ll come back with an update later.

This is essentially SWY Absolutely, without the rum and with a dose of lavender. Whoever said this is the least sweet of the bunch, is incorrect. Absolutely is still the least sweet one. This one is in between Absolutely and Intensely. This one has insane performance. I sprayed one spray 1.5 days ago and had a shower in between and I can still faintly smell it on my arm. I could smell it a whole day and night after the initial spray.

The best Stronger With You flanker. I’ve tried most of the lineup, and this is the only one that feels mature enough to balance the sweetness. The vanilla is rich without being overwhelming, and the leather note is blended exceptionally well. The performance is superb, probably the strongest in the entire collection. The opening can be a bit harsh, but after less than 20 minutes, the magic begins.

The best from the line. At first still I hated it, but I tried it again and it was amazing. It takes the classic Stronger With You DNA and adds leather to it. The leather makes it more complex and makes it less youthful than the intensely. In my opinion, more versatile too. Projects and lasts longer than intensely, around 8-10 hours with amazing projection. 9/10

I’ve been wearing Stronger With You Parfum for a while now. it’s a deeper and less playful than the original, almost more ‘grown up. I shared some extended thoughts on my YT channel (The Scentalist) because the performance and vibe really stood out to me. join me there If you are curious and let me know what you think of it. i'd love to hear about it :)

This is by far my favourite SWY. It’s strong, smoky, zingy. Yet it also retains some sweetness and freshness at the same time. It’s perfect for winter, especially around Christmas as the roasted chestnut fits perfectly. Much darker than other flankers, making it a bit more mature. It lasts well, too. It became one of my favourite fragrances this year.

First smell of this just genuinely made me go like "WOW". This is still sweet, but it's more like a "mature" and "deep" sweetness than the ones of SWY Intensely or Amber. It's just so well blended to my nose and smooth. The chestnut notes and lavender notes are just so good here. Actually amazing fragrance, had to refrain myself from instant buying.

Swy parfum I find it more mature and deep then the rest of the swy line its powerful sophisticated not as sweet as intensely which some may like it. has strong projection and longevity the leather and chestnut gives it a almost niche smell i really like. in my opinion its a solid fragrance for colder weather Smells amazing on the dry down 8.5/10

If you like the stronger with you line and your looking for something a little more masculine, buy this. Not too sweet, but not completely without sweet, has a touch of smoke and leather but also has that creaminess and addictiveness from the original swy line (I don't really like smoky neither leather scents but this one catches my attention)

This is one of my new favorites. Probably in my top 3 compliment getters. A more mature and masculine vanilla/chestnut scent. (10/10). Anyone who thinks it smells like BBQ is completely parosmic, or they have no idea what BBQ smells like. It has one of the very few leather notes that doesn't reek of hospital disinfectant.

Best Stronger With You flanker hands down, if you're above 30. A great warm scent with excellent longevity, sillage and projection. Perfect for colder days and nights, moderate your sprays when you're wearing it to work. I did and got nice responses. This is my go-to when I want to smell cozy and comfortable. 9/10.

(R.I.P Giorgio Armani) Had this fragrance for about a month and absolutely love it, amazing longevity and projection to where people across a house could still smell it. Pleasant and sweet while also being masculine and not headache inducing. A really good signature scent as well, 10/10 recommend

My favourite winter fragrance, i don't usually like sweet parfumes but this one is just so good, it opens strong and heavy, after 5 minutes you can smell smoky notes and some cinnamon, it "hugs you", imo is the most manly sweet fragrance in the swy collection, nobody talking about this. 8.7/10

I absolutely adore this fragrance. It's manly, vanillic and crowd pleasing. I enjoy all the stages of this fragrance but friends and relatives suggest that the start could be offensive to some weaker noses. But from my point of view if this is on sale and you're thinking of buying it... DO IT

I smelled this today on a test strip at boots store. Smelled great to me, slightly sweet in a mature adult way. I loved it and wanted to smell it more then I lost my test strip :(. I think I may grab 2 bottles at some point when on discount. I just hope it doesn't get reformulated! Lol.

Stronger with you parfum is a beast I have a few designer fragrances but this on lasted me around ten plus hours its kinda like cough medicine but in a good way cause it has a very sexy strong lavender and leather scent and the dry down has a smooth vanilla scent that turns heads

This is a relatively safe line, colder weather and masculine leaning, its difficult to fault. As someone else has said the flankers don't stray too far from the original so make some additional purchases almost redundant. Although I already have 4 other SWY variants....

I love this, but my girlfriend hates it. I only wear this perfume on winter days when my girlfriend isn't around. This scent is very long-lasting and very strong. I received compliments when I wore this fragrance, but it's not very popular overall.

It smells really good even if the opening can be a little disturbing but after 15 minutes it becomes perfect. Very good performance it lasts all day and a few sprays are enough to make it noticeable. However, I prefer the intensely version.

Haven't tried the other SWY's but I'm very content with blind buying this on a whim. Don't smell orange and have no idea what chestnut smells like tbh. Fragrance just smells very good, def slightly sweet but no overbarring. 8/10

GOSTO MUITO! Ganhei 2 frasquinho de 15ml, perfume muito doce porem maduro, desempenho muito bom, se trata de um perfume bem pesado, único ponto ruim que eu acho nele é a dificuldade de eu achar uma situação em que consigo usa-lo
