Despite the sweetness, this is a confident & versatile frag!
If ever a fragrance could encapsulate warmth, confidence, and gourmand appeal, SWYI does so incredibly well. This juice has become one of my favorite scents, and with good reason - it's one of the rare fragrances that gets a heartfelt seal of approval from my wife. In fact, it’s been one of my top 10 in 2024, and this is my (slow) continued effort to write a note about all of them.

The scent itself is balancing intensity and sweetness. It opens with an inviting blend of spiced cinnamon and pink pepper, immediately creating a warm aura. As it settles, the heart reveals a twist of lavender and toffee. The base is an attractive mix of vanilla (to date, one of the best I ever smelled... including niche) and amberwood that lingers for most of the day.

What I like most about this fragrance is its versatility. Whether I’m heading to a formal event, enjoying a casual dinner, or just embracing the everyday moments, SWYI fits into the narrative - I just need to adjust the numbers of spray. It's powerful yet not overwhelming, sweet without being cloying, and rugged enough have its own distinctive texture.

To conclude, in my opinion this is one of the best contemporary gourmand/vanilla based frags that could rival more expensive concoctions.

The most used designer perfume for a reason!
Stronger with you intensly is a great spicy vanilla scent. I personally have 2 bottles of this because it is a great daily perfume worth every penny! SWY intensly has gotten me many compliments and is very liked by people around me. This scent is perfect for a simple but truly amazing winter scent!

I like this one over the absolutely…
…BARELY. The entire line (while I wait patiently for SWY Leather to arrive via FedEx) smells very similar, but this is my fave.

I am a SUCKER for these Winter Season Sweetbombs. I admit it. This one leaves more of a “taste” behind than many of the others that are out there, though. The smell is so gourmand, that you really “visualize” the aroma that you’re getting.

The projection is BEASTLY on my skin. A radius of 6ft+ easily, and a sillage trail that lingers like you spilled the sticky syrup all over everything and everyone is still smelling it. Longevity for me is an easy 8+hours as well.

That extreme gourmand vibe might scare some people away though. Anyone who fears a fragrance being somewhat “feminine” might be afraid to rock it. Don’t get me wrong. It is NOT a feminine scent, but if you’re an “Aventus alpha” or “Drakkar Dragon” you might be afraid of wearing this. This is one that a woman could pull off easily, and be very attractive while doing so.

Again, what makes this stand out to me, is the “pseudo flavor” the aroma leaves behind; well done, and one of my faves.

Signature-scent worthy
There's not much to be said that hasn't already been said about this perfume. You really can't go wrong wearing this. Personally on my skin, it sits really well. It smells fantastic, it has large projection and it lasts for at least eight hours.

I think the only worthy competitor to another cinnamon perfume would be the Stronger With You Absolutely, which smells very similar to the Intensely.

The evil, nuclear gourmand that predates Bianco Latte by several years. Caramel-toffee with a metallic edge. Not me.

A nice one for winter, in the same genre as The Most Wanted line and Scandal from JPG. Has a slight smokey vibe tucked in there too.

A SUPER sweet toffee cinnamon candle. A very similar scent to Azzaro The Most Wanted.

It smells like pear, toffee & cinnamon pastries to me. Sweet but mature. Sillage is great but becomes grating after a while
