Stronger With You is a series that keeps marching on for Emporio Armani. Among the two highly rated and sought after versions of this formulation are: Intensely and Absolutely. Each has some memorable aromas and comes with great performance. However, the question is, which of these colognes is better? Which lasts longer? Which one should you buy?

Stronger With You has inherited a confident elegance, with the easy nonchalance of youth, conveyed by the sage at its aromatic heart. These notes combine with the smoky Vanilla Jungle Essence™ and the sugar coated chestnut accord, producing an irresistible men’s fragrance. The projection of Absolutely really good, able to reach well across a room. Then, it’ll become a 4-5 foot scent bubble, and finally a skin scent. Not the heaviest or most beast mode projection out there, but I wasn’t disappointed. Intensely, gives me a better blend of sweetness and spice initially, and that’s what gives it the win in this category. Notably, there is cinnamon in addition to the rum accord. Yes, there is some warm spiciness and booziness , but this is a lot smoother composition than a heavily spiced boozy rum note. It never really hits that level. With Absolutely, the opening is enjoyable, but I really like the glazed chestnut middle act that it provides. It’s one of the nuttier versions in this line and that core ingredient is really done well with Absolutely.I get a sweet influence earlier with Intensely. The toffee accord with the cinnamon and caramel notes really gives Intensely a more dynamic feel. It is much less resinous and doesn’t have the same ‘glazed’ aroma as Absolutely. This is met with some spice and warmth. Not overly so, however. Arman’s description mentioned pink pepper being here, I think that may be a part of this initial mix, since that is in Stronger Intensely as a note also. With Intensely, starts with its spiciness. Here, it is warmer and doesn’t last long (like the bergamot in Absolutely). The pink pepper is now the stronger note, joined by cinnamon and sage.

The two fragrances that were announced as "An olfactive embodiment of authentic modern-day love," as well as the new foundations of the Emporio Armani perfume line, named Because It’s You and Stronger With You, were launched in 2017. The House of Armani now announces a new version of the men's edition for February 2021 called Emporio Armani Stronger With You Absolutely. THE BOTTLE. The lines of this bottle have been drawn by Mr. ARMANI himself, he wanted to design them as a tribute to love. Can you see the rings on the cap? These double rings represent bodies wrapped, one around the other, as a symbol of this powerful love. This ring is also the symbol of Mr. Armani's love affair with Sergio Galeotti. The longevity of both of these scents are really great, on my skin. But, there’s also no distinction between them, and they perform equally. It’s not terrible, but Absolutely really starts to lose a lot of its distinction from the rest of the series and the lavender doesn’t do much to boost it. Stronger With You Absolutely is described as the strongest fragrance of this collection; sensual, passionate and seductive. This Oriental Eau de Parfum relies on a classic fougère composition, expanded with fruity-floral elements and a subdued woody base. The composition begins with a rum accord, mixed with sparkling bergamot and resinous elemi in the top. The heart is dominated by a 'diva' lavender from southern France. Davana joins in and gives the fragrance depth and a special, sweet note. Some earthy and spicy components are rounded off by Madagascar vanilla and patchouli.

The design of the cap of the bottle takes inspiration from the rings Giorgio Armani wears on the third finger of his left hand. One ring was worn by Giorgio himself and one by his partner, Sergio Galeotti.

Both Intensely and Absolutely, outperform the original EDT. Total longevity is 11-12 hours, which is great for this sort of mainstream fragrance. The cinnamon, rum, and elemi all give it further depth but is mostly limited to the opening. The dry down, though, comes on stronger with lavender.
