Stronger With You Absolutely

Compared to Stronger With You Parfum and Stronger With You intensely, Absolutely seems to stray the most from the DNA: it has a fresh brightness, a distinct herbal quality that smells strongly of sage with a hint of lavender, with far less of the warmth to be found in the rest of the line. The warm notes (vanilla, amber, chestnut, rum) found in the Parfum and Intensely fragrances are dialed down, while the herbal, spicy, fruity notes (sage, pink pepper, lavender) are dialed up. While there was some fruitiness and a degree of herbal accords in both Parfum and Intensely, they took a backseat to the warmer notes I mentioned; with Absolutely, this is flipped. I certainly don't smell the super boozy, chestnut heavy, rum-laced fragrance that many have described. Stronger With You Absolutely smells quite nice, and does have a degree of warmth to it, which becomes stronger as it dries down, but I'd personally prefer to wear one of the other flankers, as I tend to gravitate towards sweetness and warmth more than dry, herbal qualities.

I was always a fan of SWYI. My close friend has it. so when I went fragrance shopping I wanted to get something in that price range. Once I stopped by this, every other option got eradicated. This is such a seductive, warm, sexy vanilla with booziness, and it has a nice aromatic airiness in it. It is just a more complex, richer version of Intensely, with the super sweet replaced with more sexiness. I get about 12 hours on skin, which is amazing. But the sillage is insane. On a windy day there was a trail of this behind me like I was dropping a string of SWY absolutely wherever I went. And this gets mega compliments. Even more intensely, I might say. This gets about 3-4 every wear thanks to the projection. Go about 3-4 sprays MAX. This will always be in my collection, trust me ;)

My personal favorite of the whole line..each flanker has its own character..my personal opinion is that absolutely is the most unique of all..intensely may be more "easy" sweet option and thats ok..but the rum in this and the less sweetness and the superb drydown just make it the best for me..for a more mature but still top scent option absolutely is top tier..can someone tell me if this is gonna be discontinued? If so i think Armani is gonna make a huge mistake..its the most unique and i believe that its considered best seller

Personally its one of my favourites, I run it as my signature fragrance during the winter here in Canada. My bottle has very good longevity with sillage and protection fading over time. I wouldn't exactly call it gourmand but it does smell very boozy and sweet. I'd definitely recommend it for younger crowds, 17-30. Last I wore SWY Absolutely, I could smell it the day after I applied it even after two showers. I would recommend it for casual wear and date nights. Great scent overal.

Without question the best one in the lineup. The Intensely version is too sweet and you smell it everwhere. This one is way more sophisticated in my opinion.
