From the very first spray, you catch the luxurious and warm scent of saffron — not overly sharp, just elegantly spiced. Then comes the glazed chestnut (marron glacé) blended with a touch of lavender, creating a very creamy, sweet, and deeply comforting sensation. After that, the real heart of the fragrance shines through: rich, creamy sandalwood paired with soft vanilla and cedarwood, which adds a masculine woody depth without ever feeling heavy or dry.
This perfume stands apart from the rest of the series (like Intensely or Absolutely). The signature sweet DNA is still there, but it’s lighter, more mature, and far more refined. It’s not overly sweet in a way that feels youthful or “teen-like” — instead, it’s classy, sophisticated, and elegant. Perfect for a man who wants a distinguished, upscale scent for winter or cool evenings.
Longevity is excellent — it easily lasts 8–10 hours on my skin. Projection (sillage) is strong for the first two hours, then settles into a pleasant, comfortable moderate level: noticeable and compliment-getting without being overwhelming or suffocating the room.
It genuinely makes you feel like you’re wearing something expensive and luxurious — not just another mainstream designer fragrance. The bottle is also very chic: a deep, elegant green that perfectly matches the scent.
If you love the Stronger With You line and are looking for a more mature, sophisticated, and less exaggeratedly sweet version, Stronger With You Sandalwood is, in my opinion, the king of the collection. I highly recommend it — especially if you appreciate warm, creamy sandalwood with a subtle sweet touch. This is a fragrance that truly makes you feel distinctive and refined!
