SOTD/NSS: Armani Stronger With You Absolutely

While exploring the fragrance world has been a fun deep dive, it's started feeling addictive.

That's why, thankful for payment plans, I'm stopping for a while with this new crowning jewel to my collection: Armani Stronger With You Absolutely. At this point, I'm happy with what I have, with a variety to choose from.

While I'm still happiest with the Cremo Spice and Black Vanilla as a daily go-to signature scent, I really did want something from the luxury tier. Something complex and sophisticated, with great longevity, subtle layers, and amazing sillage (said to linger for over a kilometer).

Why Armani SWY Absolutely?

After doing my research, watching several non-sponsored reviews, and thinking hard about what I like and what a partner might like, this seemed the best bang for the buck. As per my previous post about the davana flower, it's an ultra unique fragrance, as the davana will add my own skin chemistry to the mix in how it reacts to the overall scent compilation.

While the initial scent doesn't hit as hard as, say, Cremo, it lasts; especially following dry-down. Cremo is only a surface scent and doesn't last. However, if you use ASWYA as a base layer, then 1-2 sprays of Cremo S&BV on top, it layers well.

Bonus tip: Lotion. Either unscented, or something like Viking Revolution Spiced Vanilla, holds the fragrance even more effectively. Not to mention we should all be moisturizing our skin properly anyway.
