A romantic silage monster

Armani have released through the years a big number of tops and flops, appartently the Stronger with you line has been a top, because there are so many flankers already to make even a hardcore perfume lover confused.

As if the EDT, EDP, Intensely and so on were not enough, they have decided to approach the Middle Eastern market with Oud, Leather and Amber - Exclusive editions.

This is not a new approach, D&G, Xerjoff and ROJA do it too and I guess the strong spicy orientals loved in Dubai and Abu Dhabi would not be so easy to wear on the streets of Paris or Berlin.

Amber from EA, reminds me 90% of Side Effect from Initio, it´s like they have been done by the same perfumer (maybe they are, Cecíle?) so maybe Saffron, Rum and Hedione are present here too?

And the top, absolute scent with similar DNA would be the D&G The One Luminous Night .. where you also get a kick of spicy saffron which in the Armani is missing.

After the firsts sprays I could sense that this is a flanker of SWY EDT, but after around 30 min. this becomes a very romantic, intimate amber scent with hints of saffron and vanilla in the back and will have an absolute monster silage until the next day on the clothes.

It is not a room filler, like Ombre Nomade .. but in your own bubble, 50-60cm around you, this will project like crazy .. so for a date or office use, I find it ideal.

Between 150€-200€ for 100ml it is absolutely worth it, because it´s not at all below Side Effect which is currently at 240€ for 90ml. Anything about that is overpriced and it is not worth paying, if you ask me.

Enjoy my video, thank you.

Criminally underrated

Do yourself a favor and ignore the negativity on fragrantica concerning this. I absolutely love this. Granted it’s not revolutionary or life changing but it is done very well in my humble opinion. I get amber vanilla and a hint of tobacco or some spicy accord of some kind. I’m glad I purchased it. Pro Tip: Tuscan Leather + SWY Amber for the Win. It’s an amazing layering combination to me

Fell Short

The Stronger with You line has a large following within our fragrance community and every single flanker even thought have small minimal changes made an impact, however this one flops in that regard.

Nose behind this is Cécile Matton. She is the nose behind the whole line and well deserved to continue the flankers in my opinion.

This flanker as of this date is a Middle Eastern Exclusive release like Oud, Leather and the new Tobacco which will be coming out soon. As I’m from North America and many of us require to either blind buy this or pay for a sample and then purchase it at a inflated price which will affect the review a bit.

Upon smelling Stronger With You Amber, I could tell that this was a subpar SWY flanker, perhaps one of the worst of the line, especially the exclusive line. The opening starts with the usual stronger with you sweet base of vanilla but also is joined by spicy facets (cardamom and cinnamon). You lose the nutty aspect of the original which made the original kind of unique within the designer realm and this is where Amber loses me. Each flanker had it’s unique take within mostly the opening, either it’s boozy or more woody but it made a difference. This one felt it was taking away everything you like from the original and made it blander.

The opening is very vanillic with those short bursts of spices that you will lose towards the end. You get met also by a lavender note which is actually good, it does not smell like a dryer sheet or any cleaning supply. Lavender does well to bring down the sweetness and make the scent thinner and more aromatic and does help the versatility of this one. The lavender sadly once added with the vanilla fog reminded me of Quentin Bisch recent releases namely 1 Million flankers and Le Male flankers which utilize the same vanillic fog that drowns out any other notes and lavender to balance it out. It makes this scent neither exclusive or worthy of a blind buy as a North American. It smells like any other mass produced top seller.

The drydown is exactly that of lavender with heavy vanillic tones that can be powdery. The interesting pieces aren’t there, the amber gives a little brown hue but nothing resinous here or balsamic which is a shame for a middle eastern release. It’s just a big vanillic bomb at this point.

Overall, it seems all the interesting parts of SWY was removed here, while the other flankers brought something to the table, this one did not. It removed more than it added. We are left with a stripped down SWY EDT with more vanillic sweetness in the backend. It reminds me of a Bisch 1 Million flanker to be honest.

My recommendation is don’t pay the premium price to get your hands on this and don’t blind buy unless you’re a collector, sniff out the 1 Million flanker or the new Le male elixir and you’ll get this same recipe.

Projection: 7 (average)
Longevity: 7 (6-8 hours)
Compliment Factor: 6 (little above average)
Uniqueness: 5
Pricing VS what you get: 4 (retail or at discounters at an inflated price)
Versatility: 6 (average)
Smell: 6 (decent but I think the rest of the line gave me more)
Overall: 6

Buy Try or Pass: I recommend this one as a Pass

This review was based on a decant that I purchased.

The best of the bunch

yet (haven't smelled any tobacco yet)

But what do we have here now? Stronger With You Amber. Not for sale in Germany and yet I managed to try it when a friend gave it to me after his return from England, and WOAH the SwY DNA goes well with amber, the first thing you smell is the amber-vanilla combo, which then stays.

But is that bad? No, not at all, it's actually incredibly good. Amber is like you've tipped out half the Intensly bottle, filled it with Grand Soir and given it a good shake.

The fragrance lasts a good 7-8 hours, the sillage seems much greater to me compared to Intensly.

It also seems much warmer than Intensly, probably due to the amber.

Overall good fragrance 8/10

Why doesn't anyone know this fragrance?

The Stronger with You intensely has enjoyed a lot of hype but why not the swy amber? The fragrance has the same scent DNA but has an almost fruity note to it. It's hard to describe how this fragrance develops. The swy amber is not necessarily stronger but smells much more sophisticated and, as I have experienced it, is much more likely to be noticed by others. Anyone who likes the stronger with you range must try this fragrance at least once.
