Every single time we hear about a new fragrance from a particular brand we get excited, sometimes
not as much, this time around i'm going to share with you another exclusive release this is the
sixth flanker the second middle eastern exclusive rendition of this brand, we're talking about
EMPORIUM ARMANI the STRONGER WITH YOU line of fragrances, this is the STRONGER WITH YOU OUD, stick around
Welcome back to another video I'm Max Forti if you love to smell great make a great first impression
this is a great place to be so hit the like button subscribe for more and hit the little bell so
you get these videos straight into your feed today we're talking about STRONGER WITH YOU OUD
brand new from the middle eastern market this is still sealed i just got this a couple days ago i
am dying to try the damn thing but i said i'm not gonna open until i get on camera to share with you
guys my exact thoughts on this fragrance how it compares with the other one the original
DNA from the first one that came out in 2017 which is like a caramel vanilla with a little
nutty vibe a little booziness to it people love it, women love this fragrance
it's a compliment magnet it smells great smells sophisticated elegant a little bit boozy a little
bit gourmandi it is a great scent. Let's see if this one here measures up to the others, so earlier
in the video i said this is the sixth flanker in fact that is exactly what it is it's the sixth
flank or the second middle eastern but let's see how many they've had so far because i get
confused myself i don't know about you guys so let me look on my phone here we're checking out on for
fragrantica.com, the first one that started it all as we know is the Stronger with You 2017 release
people loved it it's got that like i said caramel vanilla sweet cormandy kind of a vibe with a nutty
undertone then we had in 2019 Stronger with You Intensely then we had Stronger with You Freeze,
Stronger with You Absolutely, i'm going to pass it all here on the screen so you guys can see
the transition what the bottles look like and all that stuff, then we had Emporium Armani
Stronger with you Leather which i actually have it right here up to this point it is my favorite
and then we had this year earlier this year Stronger with You Only which i also talked about
here on the channel and now 2022 also another release in the middle eastern market
Stronger with You Oud. Let me crack this open because i can't wait any longer let's go. All right guys so
my favorite is leather so right now stop the video let me know in the comments which one
is your favorite stronger with you from the whole line up taking away the oud if you haven't tried
that one yet let me know in the comments i want to know which one is your favorite so far,
so let's look at the box the presentation real quickly in the back here you have all the
ingredients it's written in arabic also because it is from the middle eastern market it is made
in France the box is very similar to all the other boxes the only difference here is the color scheme
black on gold love it, it says Emporium Armani, eau de parfum concentration.
and by the way this is not readily available but if you guys want to know where i got this
i will share with you very soon so you guys can get yours as well
most likely will be in the description of this video so it's one of those beautiful
gold and black bottles, I love it, you got the batch code here that should match the box as well and
we're going for the moment of truth ladies and gentlemen, Emporium Armani Stronger with You Oud
great sprayers
all right so here's the deal this is a great smelling fragrance in fact
it'll share similarities with other oud designer fragrances so it's an entry-level oud it's not
going to be skanky animalistic medicinal it's not going to have anything daring about this oud
it's going to be that very clean intriguing mysterious but clean very appealing very inviting
type of oud just like Boss bottled Oud, it's gonna be very much the same it's gonna have a
little bit of a powdery kind of a vibe there is a little bit of a rosy kind of undertone let's look
at the actual notes so from the notes here looking at the notes they only give us three notes to look
at provincial lavender which i'm not getting much lavender but i can see a little bit of a
touch of a greenness to it which makes it maybe a little bit more mature than some of the
more youthful releases out there you do have vanilla and you do have oud so
they kept a lot of the dna from the original but it's really not overly sweet it's not
syrupy sweet it's not going to be like Intensely or Absolutely those are very heavy on the sweet
vanilla caramel kind of a note this one here is going to have the vanilla more of a supportive
note the star player is the oud which is a little bit powdery of course there's a lot more notes
that we're gonna see here from these three and i can tell you as this gets more readily available
more people talking about it i'm gonna look into it but i bet you if i do a full review on this
with longevity projection all that stuff i'll get into like more notes and i do get a sandalwood
here there's somewhat of a creaminess here, it could have also cypress here i love that they gave this
fragrance a youthful playful sweet romantic vibe but there's also that mature feel with the green
the lavender perhaps cypress and the sandalwood it's a very well balanced fragrance,
in fact what i'm going to do for you guys is part of this first impression i'm actually going to
wear this today i'm going to spray on skin and then what i'll do is i'll pause this video
and i'll get the opinion of my wife i'm gonna wear this throughout the day in another two or
three hours i'll come back and give you guys more details on this fragrance but i'm telling
you right now it is beautiful smelling, right now from a first impression standpoint i'm giving this
one an 8 out of 10. it is really really good this is not going to be more of the same it's not going
to be one of those fragrances that you're going to find at your general store so definitely worth
you guys looking into this one but i'll be back in a few. All right guys so i'm back here's the deal
it's been almost three hours that i've been rocking this fragrance my wife likes it she
doesn't love it, but again, she's not a big fan of oud fragrances anyway so no surprises there
i do enjoy it a lot i think that 8.5 is where i'm going to land at this point
I need to wear this more and really experience the whole thing with projection transition development
but it does project quite good it gives you a really nice scent bubble
and the projection is going to be from what i'm getting here over two and a half to three hours it's
really emanating i think as your body warms up it's going to continue to push which is nice so
I think performance will be good if you guys want to see a full review leave me a like i'll
come back and do a full review in fact i could do like an overview of the all Stronger
with You Collection telling you guys a little bit of everything about each one of them if you want
to do that, if this video hits enough likes i'll come back and do that and in fact to give you guys more
of a defined smell here, if you're familiar with Stronger with You Leather which i love
it's sweeter than this but this particular one the oud one borrows the saffron the leathery
undertones and nuances from this one so it's like you took this fragrance you decreased the level of
sweetness that you get with all the other flankers and you amped up the actual leather here and then
you also added the oud that i'm talking about which has a rosy facet it's a little bit powdery
still retaining sweetness but not overly sweet but also very romantic very seductive great for
evening wear i think this is perfect for romantic settings, evening wear, night out, dressier occasions
and if you're looking into getting into oud fragrances but you're really not sure i think
it's a great one to check it out and again i'll have it below described where i found it where
you can find it if there's a code associated with it of course i'm going to share with you but i
think right now overall first impressions this is going to be an 8, 8.5 out of 10
this is a solid release from the house of Emporium Armani, i'm really digging this one. Also when you
look at the classification they're classing this as an ambery fougere so there is like the
amber sweet resinous vibe to this fragrance it has a lot of great nuances that i love in fragrances
the woodiness the spiciness the ambery facets the resins it is a great scent guys i'm telling you
for someone really getting into fragrance so if you want something special unique and different
take a look at this one. And as always thanks for hanging out with me i hope you guys appreciate
it this first impression if you want to know more about this house if you want me to do like
an overview be sure to leave it in the like and also don't forget to let me know in the comments
which one is your favorite from this line so far. As always thanks so much for hanging out,
