Welcome back another video today we're checking the fifth release and fourth flanker of the
Stronger with You collection from Emporio Armani this is going to be Stronger with You
Absolutely you guys want to know all about this fragrance stick around it's coming up right now
welcome back to another video I'm Max Forti today we're talking Stronger with You Absolutely from
2021 which is the brand new flanker from the Emporio Armani collection of Stronger with You
lineup of fragrances and it's getting quite a bit of limelight in the fragrance community right
now people are saying this is the best and most strong one in the collection and we're going to
talk about this fragrance right now but before we get into it let's look at the box the presentation
here is pretty cool you have the stark box with this leather-like strap that
goes around the box of course information batch code and all that good stuff also
contained in the bottle itself which is going to be this gradient from lighter to dark
black at the base the bottle is transparent the juice is actually ambery in color
the sprayers as you saw me spraying just a second ago are pretty strong in these fragrances
pretty good quality as we come to expect with Armani fragrances in order for the cap to close
not to get wiggly like this you actually have to twist it into place for it to click and close your
bottle now this is available in two main sizes the 50ml that you're going to see here in this video
or the 100ml which will be about $120 give or take this one however costs about $90ish dollars
also give or take now it's starting to pop up in a general store so it's getting easier to
find in the next month or two i will say this will start to pop up at your discounter so soon enough
you'll be able to pick this up at even further discounts. So from the Emporio Armani collection
we had the og from 2017 we had intensely we had freeze we had leather and now we have absolutely
and i have to say thus far without really talking about this one yet leather has been my favorite
with the original one a second best. Now absolutely i am wearing this i have the dried down on my skin
the opening here on this strip here is going to be semi boozy you have this almost
rum accord which they do mention it's not overly boozy i would like this fragrance to perhaps
to have been a little bit boozier to my liking but it is very spicy there's also a
cinnamon feel here the ambery feel it's gonna borrow elements from the original and all the
different flankers within this collection in other words that nutty vanilla tonka
feel with that roasted chestnut is going to be very predominant in this fragrance
from beginning to end. It's been rather common right now to find a lot of fragrance releases
from designer houses especially from the western world here to talk about elemi or frankincense or
labdanum in their fragrances there is a slight balsamic feel here that's a little bit green
but i don't really get a smoky-incensy vibe in the composition so it's almost like
a gimmicky marketing thing that a lot of these fragrances a lot of these designer brands
are trying to instill in their current releases of fragrances giving people an aspect of
more of an oriental eastern field middle eastern vibe darker facets to the fragrance
all i can say here the main differences are going to be perhaps a little bit of a balsamic feel with
the elemi here that they're talking about which is really not predominant and of course the booziness
that you get with that rum but the star players here the key players are going to
be definitely the sweet spicy lavender with the tonka bean and the vanilla in the base the other
thing i want to talk about here is the heart of the fragrance which is
going to be a nice predominant davana note which adds this really nice lemony green
kind of a resinous feel to the scent it's very well executed giving the scent almost like a dried
fruit nuance that is very reminiscent of Dolce & Gabbana the One or The Parfum but of course a lot
darker a lot stronger and definitely stronger in the performance which we'll talk about in just
a second the base is very strong as you get into the dried down you're gonna get the patchouli
the cedar a lot of woodsy components are really gonna rise up with the amber feel and that nutty
chestnut the roasted chestnut that i talked about in the vanilla really amplified at this point
the fragrance will remind me of fragrances such as One Million Prive from Paco Rabanne if
you like that fragrance you're going to enjoy this minus the tobacco there's no tobacco here
and it also reminds me of Mason Martin Margiela by The Fireplace especially with that roasted
chestnut kind of a feel that's very very amplified here, now when you compare this fragrance
to all the different flankers all the different releases from the Stronger with You line this is
going to be closest to Intensely because it has this very syrupy overly sweet kind of a
base to the scent so if you like Intensely you're definitely going to enjoy this one however if you
thought Intensely was a little bit too syrupy overly sweet you're not going to really enjoy
this one. Three words that i would use to summarize this fragrance: it's sweet, it's sensual and it's
warm. The performance was actually quite strong with this fragrance it pushes very nice two to three
hours if you spray your clothes you're gonna get incredible silage you're really gonna fill up a room
it's very good in longevity as well we're talking eight plus hours maybe even ten if you
spray your clothes like myself it's definitely going to be there the next day i would warn you
and caution you to not over spray this fragrance i think three to four sprays will definitely
be enough this will fill up a room and it's definitely going to give you headaches if you
spray close to your neck area over here i would refrain from doing that and again don't over
spray because it can be loud and perhaps even headache inducing due to the syrupy and overly
sweet facets that you get with this fragrance. Seasons i think definitely for early
spring but best in the fall and winter due to the characters here you know the sweet the spiciness
the abundance of the vanilla and tonka there's also cinnamon that i detected i don't know if it's
in a note breakdown but i do get a lot of cinnamon here so for those spicy sweet overly sweet i
should say i think this is definitely great for fall and winter the best fitting seasons for this
fragrance. Occasions i think it's definitely an evening type of a scent perhaps a little bit
dressier i think it'll be great for romantic setting or occasions if you're going on your
first date if you want to impress someone i think this will fit that occasion perfectly. Age
i think anyone that enjoy sweet oriental vanilla fragrances will love this fragrance i can also see
a lady pulling this fragrance off perfectly due to that sweet vanilla vibe it's definitely something
that can be worn by men and women i don't think there's gender in this fragrance even
though it's geared toward masculine and i also think it's a little bit more on a youthful playful
level i think someone 25 and under will appreciate perhaps a teenager someone in high school
or college or just a young adult would definitely gravitate towards this fragrance i think for
a more mature gentleman you know 35 or up they probably will think this is a little overly sweet
for my opinion. Final thoughts on Stronger with You Absolutely: if you thought this release was going
to be something groundbreaking or trendsetter this was absolutely not,
absolutely not groundbreaking or trendsetter release this is definitely a
fragrance that has components of stuff that you've smelled before especially with lavender tonka and
vanilla a lot of companies are gravitating towards those type of fragrances when they're going dark
they're going heavy in lavender ambery undertones with the vanilla and the
tonka beans and that's what you're gonna get here especially in the dry down it's going to be very
familiar to a lot of fragrances that we've tried over the past few years with that minor
change with that rum slash boozy facet up top and the davana note that i talked about so it's a good
release but i do not think it's a groundbreaking fragrance release at all in fact this might even
be redundant if you already own Intensely and if you like the other fragrances from this lineup
I think Leather is definitely my favorite with the the original 2017 Stronger with You
a second favorite close second favorite. So let me know your thoughts guys if you guys have
