What Reddit owners say
4/5 SweetnessWinter“REM Cherry Eclipse by Ariana Grande: A dental hygienist told me I smelled like sophisticated cherry candy, and that's probably the nicest compliment ever. Said she was going to get it for herself because she could smell the sugar and musk too. I was really impressed that she knew what notes she was smelling without even knowing the perfume's DNA besides the cherry. LoveNotes Plush Vanilla by Ariana Grande: A coworker said she got a tingly feeling when she smelled it on me. Stronger with You Intensely by Armani: Got me three compliments at a family Christmas celebration.”
5/5 Longevity“I've got SWYI, La Nuit de L'Homme (which I love but it doesn't last long), V&R Dark Leather, Boss Bottles Absolu, Coral Fantasy, Castley, etc. and while I like all of those, none of them really blow me away.”
5/5 Fresh & cleanValue“I think Some fresh citrusy frags dont project as well with just 4 sprays nor do they last long specially cheap ME clones. You need to know how much is best for each Perfume like 5 Sprays of Aqcua di gio feels like i sprayed too less specially in hot weather and 2 sprays of SWYI is enough for the coldest of nights.”
4/5“Ah ok. Swyi doesn't always last or perform as good as others claim it does for me either although it did the last time I wore it last week. Try 8 or my sprays”
5/5“I'm new as well, started with stronger with you intensely, then quickly went to LV, Byredo, Amouge. It adds up quick though. I genuinely love what I've got so far and wear them often for how fast I've collected. I think 10 is the perfect amount, if you love and wear them I don't see why around 8-10 can't cover all your needs in the real world.”

5/5 Winter“Armani Stronger With You Intensely is the best smelling one in my collection. I love the scent so much! Reminds me of Christmas”
5/5“Armani Stronger with You Intensely is the best vanilla in my collection. I have a decant of Swiss Arabian Vanilla 01, it also quite good but it's more white floral in the opening. I also liked the vanilla in the dry down of Tobacco Touch Maison Alhambra.”
5/5 Batches & reformulation“I have a basically full bottle of a March 2024 batch of Stronger With You Intensely which has been sitting forgotten in the back of my closet for nearly the past two years. I'm guessing it's the old formulation because it is quite strong and leathery (with that gorgeous toffee and vanilla). Going to take this post as a sign to cherish and make good memories with my bottle of it.”
5/5“i have stronger with you intensely and its amazing but pricey. maybe mix one designer and some cheapies, no need go all designer when starting”

I wear Stronger With You Intensely and SWY Absolutely as a woman, and I get so many compliments on it. Perfumes are meant to be worn by everyone, regardless of gender and scent profile.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I have swyi is it redundant? I'm getting a decant probably tomorrow or the day after I already bought it along side drunk saffron and L'animal”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Winter“Some others I wore a lot this winter: Armani Stronger with You Intensely, ex Nihilo Atlas Fever, Andrea Maack Pavilion and Supernova, Fendi La Baguette and Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privée (but those are year round one for me), BornToStandOut Drunk Lovers and Warm Air, and Kayali Vanilla 28.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I can think of some I bought in the store as time goes on I just don't find myself wearing them as much, Hawas for Him and Stronger with You Intensely comes to mind.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Sweetness“How's the sweetness compared to Eros Edp or Stronger with you Intensely? I have the former but don't feel its as sweet as the reputation”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Winter“In the winter I wear in the day Giorgio Armani, stronger with you intensely or Giorgio Armani stronger with you absolute.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Night out“I bought Burberry London and I will layer it with D&G The One, Lataffa Asad Bourbon, MM BTF and Jazz Club, Liquid Brun, Joseph Abboud Mountain, Maison Alahambra Smoked Oud and Vanilla, Armani Stronger with You Intensely, Blue de Chanel which is always a favorite and Rayhaan Wolf.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) ProjectionValue“At drydown it is definitely is a cheap chocolate with a but of vanilla and caramel and a lot of spices but imo comes no where near to the og SWYI Or valentino BIR, even liquid brun has better quality similar notes in drydown Tough has a crazy projection I have owned Valentino BIR previously and tried a drcant of SWYI so can back it”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Compliments“Then you might like Stronger With You Intensely or SWY Absolutely. Those are also marketed for men, but I get so many compliments on them as a woman!”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Value“I was literally seconds away from purchasing a 5.0 oz bottle of Giorgio Armani Emporio Armani Stronger With You Intensely EDP when I received a Reddit notification for your post.”
