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. 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. Overall, this is a pretty evenly match competition. I enjoy both of these fragrances and they are among my favorites from the Stronger with You lineup. But, which is better? Intensely, gives me a better blend of sweetness and spice initially, and that’s what gives it the win in this category.
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?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. However, I do notice it further away from Absolutely, when I tested each on clothing and walked to the other side of the living room. Not a convincing win, but Intensely does have the edge. It’s not going to be the reason I’d buy one versus the other, however. 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. Another category in which they are equals. Autumn and winter wears. A bit more mature than the original EDT, but still suitable for younger men as well.
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. 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. Each is great for the nightlife, casual, or date night. Neither is something that’s completely formal or going to be an office scent for most folks.

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.
