Giorgio Armani
Stronger With You
“Sugared chestnut and lavender smoke — comfort food in cologne form, named like a TED talk.”
Released 2017 as the founder of Armani's Stronger With You line — Cecile Matton's launch, a sweet-vanilla-chestnut composition that spawned the 2019 Intensely and 2021 Absolutely flankers. Chestnut and sugar at the top, settling on a vanilla-smoke drydown. Wears strongest in fall and winter, evening.
