SOTD: Stronger With You Intensley by Emporio Armani 26/04/2025

🔥

This has been sitting in my top 3 since the dawn of time it seems. Only recently it got knocked down a peg, by the amazing Fahrenheit. Which in turn knocked the similar Azzarro TMW down a notch. Its still an amazing fragrance. Despite popular opinion I still prefer Intensley over its sibling Absolutley.

It's a beautifully crafted scent, more suited for the cold. Its comforting, cozy & warm. With a lovely Pink Pepper in the top notes along with Juniper & Violet. The Toffee & Cinnamon combination in the middle steal the show with some lavender & sage also in the mix. Then the big hitters at the base Vanilla, Amber & Tonka Bean with a touch of Suede.

Performance is really good here, it lasts and projects as you would expect. But this comes at a price. My little 50ml bottle set me back around €80. But damn its good. SWY have a great line up, many are hard to find in Ireland, but I will have the new parfum one for review tomoorrow.

My Rating 9/10
