Emporio Armani Stronger With You Amber Exclusive

I had a sample of this, and committed to a full bottle. It was a bit risky, since I partially forgot what it smelled like. This one opens up super sweet, which I can already sense some people may find cloying, with a background of vanilla and lavender to make it clean and more dimensional. I get a sticky and resinous vibe from the first spray, which I really like. As it dries down, it gets a bit worse for me, even though most people think the other way around. It's sweetness and lavender tones down, making the amber and vanilla shine the most. This fragrance lasts 8-9 hours on my skin with strong projection for the first hour, before settling back to moderate to low projection. Every time I've worn this, I haven't gotten a compliment, though I've only worn it a few times. I also find this one to be the most versatile out of the line, being able to wear it in school, office, parties, dinners, dates, winter, fall, spring, and any day of the year at night. Additionally, if you find the sweetness to be too cloying, I recommend you layer it with another stronger with you flanker that is a bit lighter. Overall, I find stronger with you amber to be a great amber focused fragrance, however I do think it can be better.

I think that this perfume is quite overlooked because of it being in the stronger with you line which has some really great fragrances. But even if its in that line I would say that its one of the best stronger with you’s. The amber could maybe be a bit stronger but I think it blends really well with the rest which makes it a really good and delicate winter fragrance. Would highly recomend buying stronger with you amber but would recomend buying a sample or testing it before because you have to buy a hundred ml bottle if you arent buying it from a friend.

Underrated and beautiful piece of work. It has the same lavender as SWY Parfum. It is not as mature as the Parfum version, but it is still very mature, more than any other SWY flankers. People usually compare this to SWY Intensely, yes the vanilla base is similar, but they are NOT the same. They are very different. Try to imagine SWY Parfum’s lavender and the mature nature of that perfume, mix it with the typical SWY DNA vanillin base, add a bit more floral and amp it up with smouldering amber.

too much for the warmer weather of where I live but at night this thing is a beast. I love this thing though, it makes me feel a little more mature and confident which is the boost I need for those occasions. For other people though I always suggest Intensely or Absolutely because this might not be their cup of tea or not perform on their skin as I see in the other reviews. Also this thing sometimes gets u weird compliments, both types of weird lol.

My introduction to this fragrance was only recent, as I've only just recently gotten more involved in the perfume world, but personally while going around multiple malls and using the testers in Sephora/Douglas, this is the scent that caught my attention the most out of all the other designer fragrances. I haven't yet been tapped too much into niche fragrances so I can't say much about comparing it to that part of fragrances.
