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
