Emporio Armani - Stronger With You Absolutely Giorgio Armani 2021

That my beloved YSL Opium is slowly running out, was today again time to replace this. However, it should be another fragrance, because I like to take a break each, so that my nose can wean and I smell him later again more intense.

The first time I became aware of SWI, I am about two years ago with a work colleague. This sweetish fragrance has appealed to me immediately and I have not forgotten him to this day. Since I smelled the SWI Freeze a few weeks ago for the first time and was immediately very taken, I actually wanted to buy this fragrance, although he comes here in the forum not so dermassen good away. It reminds me a lot of Malabar bubble gum, which I liked best as a kid. And since the perfumery with the French name is offering the fragrance at a 25% discount, it was pretty much a done deal for me. However, the positive reviews for SWI Absolutely have not escaped me and therefore still wanted to smell this one, before I finally decide.

So I went this afternoon full of anticipation in the perfumery and let me show me the two fragrances again. Since I had stupidly just disinfected my hands, both fragrances (Freeze and Absolutely) were sprayed on a paper strip. First the Freeze and yes, I still liked it as much as the first time. Now the Absolutely and my reaction so .... uh nope, it doesn't smell nearly as good as the Freeze. The saleswoman told me to give it some time. So here we go again and the reaction was just like the first. Firmly convinced it was going to be the Freeze, I gave it one last chance and then boom! That's it!

This warm, sweet-spicy-floral scent captivated me and wouldn't let me go. Caramel-vanilla-pepper-brown rum and again this bubblegum scent, which I like so much. Stop less fresh than the Freeze but more intense and even a notch better. I take the, quite to the astonishment of the saleswoman, which has thought because of my reaction after the first two times to smell that I would choose the Freeze.

Arrived home, I had to spray him of course immediately and there it just fit well that I had to buy my dad something. His neighbor has in the hallway a basket with chocolate Easter eggs and other sweets and there my dad asks me, as we waited for the elevator, if I had taken something from the basket again. I couldn't help but smirk and then enlightened him. His reaction was definitely positive.

Yes, the scent is sweet - you have to like that but still I don't find it too overbearing. Through its spicy-floral-peppery note, it gives me a feeling of wohliger, which accompanies one through the cooler days. I've only ever had the same feeling with YSL Opium and now here comes this new one to challenge my favourite. Let's see if it will stand the test of time. So far I do not regret the purchase at all and am already thinking about whether I should not get his lighter brother for the warmer time.

Conclusion, I am in love
