Stop that!

It's starting to piss me off. But not a normal on the nerves go, but really on the Sa* go is that already. It started with the 1 million where suddenly everyone rated him so bad without any objective reason. Most ratings were based on the fact that 10 years ago almost everyone wore this fragrance. HEY, GUYS! THERE IS NO REASON TO JUDGE A FRAGRANCE UNOBJECTIVE AND NEGATIVE, JUST BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE HAVE WORN OR WEAR THIS FRAGRANCE! The same thing happened with the Sauvage and I think it will happen with this fragrance. So many negative comments and statements because this fragrance is becoming mainstream and supposedly too sweet and perhaps resembles the 1 million. There is nothing but really nothing that justifies the current score of 6.2 for this fragrance. Yes he is cute, yes he smells similar to other fragrances, yes he is often praised in online reviews. But does that make him bad? I have the feeling that people deliberately rate this fragrance worse only because it is praised on Youtube, for example, so that they feel like experts and defy the reviewers. Of course there are niche lovers who prefer exciting, complex fragrances or who only like certain fragrances, but people who rate this fragrance with a score of less than 5 do so maliciously. I'm not saying they're all. There are certainly people who find that too sweet. But if you look at the comments and above all the statements, you notice that things are hardly objective there and that the trend towards the destruction of popular mainstream fragrances continues... It is clear that sweet scents are mainly worn by the younger generation, such are also panty droppers ;). But that's no reason to destroy this fragrance, because that's exactly what makes us deter the more experienced noses that hang around here on Parfumo from such scents, and these scents thus inevitably remain only for the youngsters who are not particularly interested in scents and are therefore put into a drawer.

Flavorful scented jewelry. No, I'm not wearing that sweet stuff!

Well, you eager Emporio slayers, you asked for it. Your specimens of Stronger with you are apparently among the most widely distributed. They are piling up at my place - and after some hesitation I finally got them, bravely hiding the diabetes warnings in the pyramid up here and at the colleagues below, and finally getting on my case.

Actually, I really like Armani as an understated fashion designer. But his Emporio textiles seem to me to be quite loud and logo-printed in the last years. Actually, I associate nice memories with Armani fragrances; a lot of good and likeable things: the wonderfully fresh, old eau pour homme, the classic ladies' chypre of the 1980s, the widespread, pleasing code for guys that was quite popular for a few years. Or the flowery powdery Emporio for her. In between, there were certainly still many Armani fragrances that somehow passed me by; you have other things to do. So I don't really feel like tearing an Armani fragrance away.

Actually I have nothing at all against something sweeter or gourmand scents. Occasionally, I like to wear one of those. If only for a change. Especially if the sweet juices contain cardamom and cocoa or a nice vanilla. So I could've done something with Stronger... and me
BUT: What sticks on my wrist and rises into my nostrils is aaaaarg sweet and also undefined in taste. Top note? Sugar shock I can hardly make out the cardamom, which I hold in high esteem, it is drowning in the candied cotton candy clouds. The same applies to the chestnut, which is almost desperately sought after on the wrist, drowning in a - not particularly well-articulated - sugar vanilla. On the second test run I think I can sniff out a discreet chestnut after about two hours - but maybe this is just an effect of neuro-linguistic autosuggestion?

Presumably, disdainful mass market research drives the IFF (International Flavors & Fragrances), the American licensed fragrance giants that produce and distribute the Emporio-Armani fragrances, to such sweet realms. Sad. The Armani perfumes, on the other hand, as far as I understand it, are produced and marketed by L'Oréal. Poor Giorgio has a lot of licensing contracts to sign... Hopefully he'll be able to design his chic jackets and stylish interiors then
Actually, I find the smell unbearable. But towards the base note, after a good 2 hours, it becomes halfway tolerable for its remaining duration. But even back there it remains synthetic and spongy-sweet. This is also no reason to put on such a fragrance. For a barely bearable base, I don't have to go through the candy floss purgatory, which is at the beginning here and lets its hellish rice pudding simmer quite long. Luckily, durability and projection are moderate.

Actually, I like Armani. But when I feel like a nice sweet men's fragrance, I still prefer to go for Guerlain's Homme Ideal (with almond instead of chestnut as backbone), Bogart's 'Silver Scent Deep' (nut-vanilla) or Trussardi's 'Scent of Gold', which opens with cinnamon plums and recognisable violets and closes with vanilla tobacco. Although Mugler's fashion was certainly more garish than Armani's designs, his unquestionably loud, gourmand A*Men flankers smell far more tasteful than this Emporio (empör-mio) Stronger aberration.

Tighter with you? Than with other candy? Because you come up with the name Armani, which stands for style, the master of garish, greedy colours and cuddly cuts and you appear so garish and vulgar? Probably this disappoints me, as well as your completely failed fragrance name, and perhaps makes me rate you a note stricter than if xy had thrown you on the market as 'Candied Vanilla Chestnut'. My recollection of the great and distinctive old Armani fragrances that deserved every production continuation and sample distribution creates a drop height. You have fully exploited them here.

Experiments are now being carried out in the garden with the Stronger than You test tubes. Perhaps they can be used to set up ecologically correct ant resettlement projects or something similar? Hopefully the elegant chestnut-coloured squirrels will forgive me for this.

The main thing is to talk negative...

It started at 1 million when everyone thought they had to talk him into the ground because he was often bought and even more by the younger generation man. Exactly the same thing happened with SWY. Does he smell uncreatively sweet? Yes. Is he partly already overhyped? Yes. Is that now an absolute counterargument for a purchase? No.

My story with SWY started at Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport. On the journey home to FRA still strolled past the Duty Free Shop and the favorable price of approx. 40€ thankfully accepted.

Arrived at home it was promptly found good by my then +1 and so it was frequently applied anyway. Each time I liked it myself more and more and after almost a year it is a fragrance I can wear everywhere. Be it in the office (no more than 2 splashes behind the ears), at an evening event or even in the discotheque. SWY's always leaving and that's exactly what he's supposed to do. It should not make any unique statements or function as a premium fragrance for dance galas.

It's supposed to work, and it does

A Winter Night's Love

It was a few years ago, and it was just before Christmas, that I met a young man who I liked right away. And he wore this fragrance.

This man was enveloped in such a masculine vanilla note that I had never smelled before. A pleasant sweetness combined with tart cardamom and pepper notes made their way into my nose, just as the man made his way into my heart.
Everything smelled so good, so new, and yet, like you've known this smell forever. For hours, the man and I got to know each other, and one thing never faded: that scent. It stayed there, all the time.

For others, this perfume may be average, interchangeable or simply nothing special. But even if this man now wears completely different fragrances, so remains with this one always the memory of that magical early days, back at Christmas, when everything was still so new and yet so familiar. For me, he will always be something very special

Sven needs something new!

"For you to try!" (#2)

Why not dare a small row to my most frequently packed scented samples at the checkout? They must be good for something. Part 1 (though not yet so named) was called "Only the Brave" - and why not stay a little longer in the cosmos of the crazy perfume names? It is noticeable during the test that this modern naming even seems to be speaking in a certain way: a somehow diffuse association of strength and/or union or - more precisely - undefined penetrance and muddling.

In the first ten seconds, a pseudo bergamot, which is already clearly sweet and sticky, blows around you, suggesting freshness. These ten seconds are decisive for the sales success, because during this time both the disgruntled buyer (We call him Sven) and his girlfriend ("You need wat Neuet!") had their noses on the back of their hands. Catch! "Oh, I don't like the beatings. Ma wat Frischet. It's modern again." After half a minute at the latest there is nothing left of it, the two do not notice. Not even later, because basically it doesn't matter how it actually smells: The first impression is stored, the formulation of the first judgement is fixed and integrated into the personality, which also means that it is defended with eagerness at family celebrations ("Samma, Sven! Do you smell like a candied apple now?") when countering: "This is fresh. Ma wat anderet. Not always like you with your Bruno Banani from Rossmann!"

If there had been any interest: Sven and his nameless sweetheart would have quickly noticed that with "Stronger with You" we are in exactly the same artificial violet wood veneer sugar syrup country in which the market has been vegetating for so many years.
