Decanted Sample of Stronger With You Absolutely by Emporio Armani

It's fine for me, the booziness is definitely turned up over the other SWY flankers. I'm one of the outliers who might like the EDT the most but generally I just think there are other winter frags I would get over this like Le Male Elixir.

TLDR: If you like boozy scents this might be for you.

Boozy version of intensely. Prefer Intensely.

This took me a few wearings to get used to. The chestnut and rum in this combine to make a strong Dulce de leche lactonic note compared to the other flankers. The projection and longevity is insane for a designer. One of the better flanker in the stronger with you line.

I like this one. It is sweet and extremely dense so might be a bit headache inducing for some. A bit similar to the original swy with a more prominent chocolatey note. I`m considering buying the full bottle soon.

I wish this fragrance wasn't discontinued because i would buy it again and again. I love this and its better than intensely. Intensely is too sweet for me and absolutely is well rounded. I wish it wasn't sold out everywhere or marked up like crazy. I would love to own a full bottle one day.

There is just nothing about it that I love enough. It's just kind of.. there. I would suggest sampling The Most Wanted Parfum before purchasing a full-sized bottle of this.

I personally prefer this over intensely because the drydown into the vanilla is amazing. There is a bit of booziness and spiciness as well which balances out the sweetness. I would buy a full bottle if it was not hard to find and expensive. Perfect for winter months!

swy absolutely is a great smelling fragrance with a very good atomizer and long lasting smell. it fades into a vanilla smell after a few hours.

Good warm opening and dries down to a nice vanilla smell with great projection and longevity.

smoothest date night scent i have ever smelt

No bad, but I like intensely a little more. Absolutely is great but a little too sweet for me. I do like the booze note that was added though.

In my opinion it’s better than intensely. It’s sweet but also notes of spice.

This smells the best out of the main 4, strong and sweet at the same time.

This became my favorite winter scent the first time I wore it.  A perfect blend of vanilla, booze, ginger, and woodsiness.  I will say I didn't care for it off of a tester strip, but after actually wearing it, it's incredible.

I liked this better but just by a little bit. Smells is objective but people didn't really like this on me.

Perfect fragrance for colder weather

A great addition to the line. The rum is noticeable in the opening but nothing overpowering. It's definitely darker but still sweet and alluring.

Perfect smooth sweet scent. Another compliment magnet along with intensely. Unfortunately it is discontinued but found a bottle used. Get it before its gone

This is a great wintertime date night scent. The original DNA mixed with a darker more mature spiciness with a touch or rum. Unfortunately I cannot speak to performance as I go anosmic to this scent very quickly, but Ive always hear from reviewers it is beastmode.

Amazing for the colder weather. Very sweet and very long lasting. The best in the stronger with you line.

I'm a fan. The vanilla and rum notes make a gourmand, sexy scent. It has a boozy, balsamic, slightly citrusy opening that dries down to a strong woody, nutty and ever so slightly sweet aroma. 7h+ longevity, projection is solid too. The only downside is having to wait around for the colder months to use this one. If you don't like sweet scents, you probably wont like this but it might change your mind.

Big fan of the EdT, however, this is another example of how "darker and richer" doesn't make it better

In the onslaught of samey men's warm-spicy sweet fragrances, the stronger with you line does not stray too far from the pack. This flanker is basically the Parfum version of the EDT considering how super close the EDT, Intensely, and Absolutely are to each other. The EDT is the most forgettable, and Absolutely doesn't fall too far from that but it is higher quality and the scent itself is thicker, deeper, and sweeter and a little boozy. I actually prefer the Intensely over this because it comes across as nuttier. I would recommend trying the Oud and Leather versions of this line though. I would say that I like Jazz Club or Spicebomb Extreme over probably any of the flankers in this line.

Extremely hard to find! Best flanker, chestnut, rum, and vanilla notes dominate this scent. A must own!

So this like most of the stronger with you line is decent...but they just smell so similar to the original I couldn't justify an entire bottle. Its like a 6/10

Absolutely has that great nutty sweetness with the additional of some great woody and vanilla notes. Great performer and best suited to cooler temps

Nice and sweet, good for winter

I tried this because I absolutely love stronger with you intensely, and wanted to see what else the line had to offer. I would say this is very similar to SWY intensely, but a little less refined with that added booze note. It still smells incredible and you cant go wrong with this, and if you enjoy the stronger with you DNA and are looking for a little extra sweetness and flare from it, this is the one to try.

this one is sweet but the notes aren’t as enjoyable for me compared to the SWY intensely version

Honestly I really didn't find anything I liked about this one.  I had high hopes but was kind of disappointed with the scent.  I believe this is a cooler weather scent, I really didn't get the woodsy notes on this one nor the spice.
