Emporio Armani - Stronger With You Absolutely Giorgio Armani 2021

All those who love vanilla can dive in wholeheartedly. Even the ladies! The Emporio Armani - Stronger With You Absolutely is primarily a medium-weight vanilla fragrance. And in this regard, it is made very deliciously. It is sweet like vanilla pudding. The combination with chestnut, which brings a nutty touch, fits perfectly. If almonds had been used, the scent would have gone gourmand, but the choice of chestnut prevents that.
The top note lasts 15 minutes and is not boozy for me, as I don't detect any distinct rum. Instead, I perceive a very, very pleasant hairspray note. Association: well-groomed in high-end salon quality. The hairspray association re-emerges later in the drydown.

What I miss is spice. The fragrance has too little wood or resin. It's as if you’ve eaten, let’s say: grandma's delicious vanilla pudding or raw cake batter straight from the bowl, really indulging because it was so tasty, and then you need something savory, like a salami sandwich. In our language, we say it makes you feel "qualstrig" and you somehow crave something solid.

In conclusion, it can be said: delicious scent (not just for the gentlemen) and a candidate for purchase that makes you crave something hearty. The next day, to balance it out, something rugged like leather or oud or the like.
