Our take
What does Stronger With You Absolutely smell like?
Cécile Matton composed Stronger With You Absolutely in 2021 as another flanker of Emporio Armani's Stronger With You from 2017. Armani sells it at parfum concentration. Rum comes first, warm and boozy, lifted by bergamot and the lemony pepper of elemi. Lavender follows, more aromatic than fresh. Davana gives it a round, liqueur-like fruitiness. The real centrepiece is the glazed chestnut accord. Sweet and floury, almost creamy, it gets even denser as the vanilla builds. Cedar and patchouli give the base enough wood to stop it from becoming indigestible. Compared with the original Stronger With You, which is lighter and more about the chestnut, Absolutely is darker and much sweeter. Longevity is huge. In a heated room the projection can feel heavy.
When to wear it
