Some perfume lines give me goose bumps just by looking at them, i.e. looking at the latest flankers. And unfortunately not out of anticipation or excitement, but rather because the "collection" (a perfectly appropriate term in view of the continuing flanker boom) rather discourages me than appeals to me. "Stronger With You" by Armani is such a phony. So far at least, since, if you have it there for testing, you should give every new offshoot an objective and unbiased view. But, that's only human, just as I get excited when a new "Dior Homme" is announced (even if it's only a reformulation), the scepticism of another "Boss Bottled" or even "Stronger With You" can probably never be completely shaken off. But don't low expectations and benchmarks actually bring with them enormous opportunities for positive surprises? And what does the new iced version of the pert cardamom killer do?

"Stronger With You Freeze" is still clearly one of his own - only this time it's much more sugary, apple-like, undercooled. So it's a subject you can't miss. DNA but still worse?! I'm okay. Freeze is a fruity-sweet toyboy from the retort. A move that YSL did in a very similar way years ago with its cubic-round bestseller. Vanilla in the glow of a frozen geyser. Sexy for U20s, almost uncomfortable for the rest. Or at least my nose. And she is also already / still quite gourmand on the road. For hip, neon-lit bars and New York nightclubs, but rather inexperienced, wannabe, than real or stylish. A little ginger shoots into my nose, but definitely more of a dessert scent than a sushi perfume. From fruit compote to vanilla roast chestnuts. However, no matter at what stage: a lactose rush. No one to wash up, but no one to stay with. Frozen yogurt vibes. With glitter, sprinkles and all.

Flacon: iced out and handy
Sillage: aggressive Ambroxan, silent death
Shelf life: chemical-olfactory Viagra. Standing in the air longer than I'd like. 8-9 hours.

Conclusion: even a shock freeze will not save the Stronger With You-DNA. A pungent, emotionally cold, neon-coloured Ambroxan apple, as if fresh out of the test tube. Annoying and boring at the same time?! WTF?! Off to preschool with you!

Undeservedly (so far) undervalued!

Hello dear community,

when I read the overall rating of 6.7 (as of 06/02/20) for this new flanker from Stronger With You, I was honestly surprised, but at the same time not really surprised. Yeah, sounds paradoxical, I know. But I will come back to this later. So read on ;)
Last winter I still owned the regular SWY (EdT) and - to tell you right away - I thought it was pretty good. It is still, in my eyes, a beautiful, sweet-spicy, mass-suitable cold-weather scent, with which I always felt comfortable on colder days and which was also very well received in my environment... The light and spicy opening in combination with the chestnut and vanilla in the base is, in my opinion, perfectly compatible and smells very good in the wintertime.
[...]

When I saw the new Freeze-Flanker a few months ago and was allowed to see the bottle for the first time, it was immediately clear to me that it would be a blind purchase for me. Because I was convinced that I would like it, since I already thought the original version was good... "FREEZE, attractive and interesting bottle. It will be a slightly softer and more versatile bottle than the regular EdT," I said to myself. So without testing it, I ordered the big 100ml bottle.
[...]

Immediately after the arrival of the package I sprayed myself, as always, in the neck and neck area with 5-6 sprays (normally I always get something on my wrists first, but with this one I thought this routine was superfluous) and only then smelled the spray head. "Yes, the DNA of the regular one is clearly visible, but smells much fresher and clearer, not quite as sweet", was my thought.

The SWY Freeze opens fresh and citric with a clearly perceptible, aromatic-spicy ginger in the background. I like the delicious combination of apple and lime very much and it is clearly different from its predecessor.
In the further course I perceive a minimal whiskey note, which should be due to the Bourbon note. The lavender also gives the fragrance a so-called. "Fougère-Vibe" and hereby also distinguishes itself from the original version. In addition to the chestnut-vanilla combination, which is already present in the regular EDT, the freeze with gujaka wood adds slightly woody nuances. Besides the sweet base, this note also provides an earthy note, which I find even better compared to the predecessor, since only pure sweetness prevails there.
[...]

I have been wearing the fragrance in my collection for 1-2 months now (back up is already on the way) and especially more often at work. Not only do I like it myself (despite the light synthetics!), but also my work colleagues all find it delicious. One colleague at work even ordered it for her husband :)
MMn you can wear it especially at this time of year, both during the day and in the evening. And also on cooler summer days as well as in autumn it can be used without any problems. For the winter I would personally prefer other fragrances On my skin it holds a good 5h, which is enough for me. The Sillage is strong in the first two hours, after that you "only" smell it on your skin. But for the cheap price you currently pay for the 100ml at well-known online shops, this is quite reasonable mMn.

Conclusion:
As I mentioned at the beginning, I was surprised by the current assessment, but again I was not surprised in itself. Because when I saw the rating at the regular SWY, I was afraid of that. I personally attribute its bad score to the fact that it may remind many people of the OneMillion and that they could "hate" it for this reason alone To be honest, I have the feeling that some fragrances are simply rated worse here out of principle. Surely there are a lot of niche lovers in the community and maybe these people have less to do with such fragrances. However, I personally find the
Freeze as well as his predecessor are both wrongly badly rated and portrayed. Personally, I have simply made the experience that they are both suitable for the masses and were/are liked everywhere. And I think that is simply the strategy at Armani. Because this Freeze is a good gourmand scent for warmer days (and there are not that many gourmands for this season anyway).

Well, maybe some of you give it a fair chance, because it is definitely not bad! [...]

Thanks to all readers as always!

No brainer

I already figured SWY Freeze wouldn't pick up a medal here, since SWY wasn't particularly well received either.
However, I must say that I actually find this one quite good. The cool brother is namely a little fresher and spicier. You can also smell out a frozen apple.
The SWY DNA is also included here, but was screwed down a bit in the sweetness.
Nevertheless, Freeze is still very sweet by the vanilla and glazed chestnut, a slightly spicy ginger note breaks through the sweetness somewhat and gives it that certain something.
While the original was very pungent and sweet for me, Freeze seems more balanced and very tasty.
So whoever likes the scent, don't let the old men here discourage you.
Stronger with you Freeze aims to please more of the female crowd.
Do not think too long, just get him

The icing on the cake

I have to say I really like the SWY line. The Freeze has a slightly fresh opening and after 15min he gets closer and closer to his brothers. But he is not as cute as the others. He is supposed to be the lighter version. I wouldn't wear it at 30 degrees, but on warm summer evenings and so fantastic. So if you like a fresh sweet top note and after that a lighter version of SWY will love it. The durability is of course not longer than the others. With me about 5-6 hours. I don't care, but I enjoy the time with him. Sorry must stop now and sniff a little bit at the Freeze ;-)

A unicorn, unfortunately..

But one thing at a time; first I have to say that SWY Freeze (to the apparent incomprehension of most perfumos here) is my absolute favorite fragrance.
The undisputed number one.
The one among many.
The unrivaled one.
Or also: The unicorn of my collection.
The fruity-cool opening is like an olfactory counterpart to the first real warming rays of sunshine that break through the still single-digit temperatures in the spring months and create anticipation for the old, much-loved, familiar.
The ginger note, which joins in after a short time, dampens the euphoria and the emerging summer feelings a little, after all, there was still frost at night and the morning sun is just strong enough to fight the dew on the meadows.
After this brief moment of closing your eyes and pausing, you carry on with your day, accompanied by a pleasantly warm lightness creeping in and the feeling that is so often described as déjà vu.
I know that from somewhere, don't I? After a brief frown at the similarity between the Freeze and its brothers, a grin followed: Yes, I know him. And that's a good thing. Just as it's a good thing that summer will be a little while yet, it will come soon enough anyway.
The excursion into warmer, brighter and fresher seasons, to which Stronger With You Freeze invites us in the opening, turns into isolated little rays of sunshine that occasionally make their way between the cold blue spring clouds.
However, it quickly becomes clear that, in terms of fragrance notes, we are still in the "glazed chestnut" and "bourbon vanilla" season.
For me, this is the only fragrance that has ever managed to remain so true to itself and at the same time evoke such contrasting associations and feelings as the other flankers do.
I don't know of any other fragrance that has managed to take me so far away from the here and now, only to slowly bring me back to exactly this point A unicorn, so to speak.
A fragrance that will become increasingly difficult to get my hands on, until at some point it will only appear as one of many stories in my fairytale collection of perfumes.
A unicorn, unfortunately..
