Emporio Armani Stronger With You Leather
by Giorgio Armani
Emporio Armani Stronger With You Leather is a refined, gourmand-leaning leather fragrance that captures the signature sweetness of the Stronger With You line while introducing a heightened sense of depth and maturity through subtle oud, guaiac wood, and a soft suede-like leather accord. The scent begins with a warm, spicy opening featuring chestnut and elemi, evolving into a smooth, creamy vanilla and leather heart that is both elegant and inviting. The dry down reveals a subtly smoky, woody base with agarwood lending darkness and character without overwhelming the sweetness. While the leather note is nuanced and soft—more akin to velvet suede than raw leather—it adds sophistication and balance. Performance is excellent, with notable longevity and a moderate-to-strong projection that enhances its appeal for evening wear, particularly in colder months.
