Popular for a reason!
Don't let the current rating fool you, the fact is SWY has spawned many similar scents (including its flankers), fragrances such as The Most Wanted from Azzaro or 1 Million Elixir by Paco Rabanne, to name a few. And the reason becomes clear from the first initial spray. It is a sweet, fruity, vanilla BOMB that has some light aromatics to keep it interesting. Let's break it down.
Stronger with You opens with a syrupy sweet melon/pineapple fruity accord. As it dries down, there's this caramel like nuance that is present throughout the rest of its wear, alongside the fruitiness. And in the background, a light herbal touch. It's smells equal amounts feminine, as well as masculine. But what do I mean by that?
It's very sweet, absolutely. But one thing I notice about women’s fragrances, is that they smell 'perfumy' for lack of a better word. In general, they use a lot more floral notes, and the ones without floral notes of any kind that smell sweet, smell very sweet. Thinking Wanted by Night for women (Grape Soda) or Ultrared for women (Strawberry juice). But what's masculine about it?
It doesn't smell like a candy shop, or how I image fairy floss (i.e., cotton candy) smells as it tastes. As in I mean like pure sugar. The oriental/gourmand fragrances for men seem to be more balanced and have more wood/citrus notes to freshen or ground the formulation, leading to something a bit more palatable. Of course, this is all a generalisation. You can get scents marketed towards women that smell masculine or unisex, there's no distinct rules.
But perhaps that's a good thing. Not all guys I know want to smell like the ocean (Acqua Di Gio) or a forest (Green Irish Tweed) or like a Service Station (Fahrenheit). And you won't get weird looks from department store workers for asking for Stronger with You instead of Ariana Grande Cloud. I know they're not similar, just an example.
It's so strange some people get judgemental with men wearing women's perfumes and women wearing men colognes. However, I think fragrances like Stronger with You blur that line. For me, this smells gorgeous, lively and inviting. It can work in a formal occasion or something a bit more casual and it wouldn't be out of the ordinary.
SWY comes highly recommended if you like other similar scents like 1 Million, The Most Wanted, Eros or Ultramale. But if you don't like any sweetness at ALL from your colognes, steer clear. As you won't get any enjoyment from this one. As for me, this is one I'll keep rebuying as long as they keep selling.
Final verdict: 9/10.
