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. The dry down, though, comes on stronger with lavender. The cinnamon, rum, and elemi all give it further depth but is mostly limited to the opening. It’s one of the nuttier versions in this line and that core ingredient is really done well with Absolutely. With Absolutely, the opening is enjoyable, but I really like the glazed chestnut middle act that it provides. I enjoy both of these fragrances and they are among my favorites from the Stronger with You lineup. Overall, this is a pretty evenly match competition. Neither is something that’s completely formal or going to be an office scent for most folks. A bit more mature than the original EDT, but still suitable for younger men as well.Įach is great for the nightlife, casual, or date night. Total longevity is 11-12 hours, which is great for this sort of mainstream fragrance.Īnother category in which they are equals. But, there’s also no distinction between them, and they perform equally.īoth Intensely and Absolutely, outperform the original EDT. The longevity of both of these scents are really great, on my skin. Not a convincing win, but Intensely does have the edge. 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. Now, it isn’t completely overwhelming either. Intensely, is a bit more powerful than that. Not the heaviest or most beast mode projection out there, but I wasn’t disappointed. Then, it’ll become a 4-5 foot scent bubble, and finally a skin scent. The projection of Absolutely really good, able to reach well across a room. Intensely, gives me a better blend of sweetness and spice initially, and that’s what gives it the win in this category. However, that’s not entirely in the opening act. Absolutely is nice, but I think once its chestnut note gets fully going, that’s when it is at its best. Which do I prefer? I consistently have favored the opening of Intensely. It is much less resinous and doesn’t have the same ‘glazed’ aroma as Absolutely. The toffee accord with the cinnamon and caramel notes really gives Intensely a more dynamic feel. I get a sweet influence earlier with Intensely. The pink pepper is now the stronger note, joined by cinnamon and sage. Here, it is warmer and doesn’t last long (like the bergamot in Absolutely). With Intensely, starts with its spiciness. Yes, there is some warm spiciness and booziness, but this is a lot smoother composition than a heavily spiced boozy rum note. Notably, there is cinnamon in addition to the rum accord. Elemi or the ‘glaze’ of the chestnut note is something that really sticks out after that top blast. 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.īut, this one also strikes me as being quite resinous from the get go. The opening spray of Absolutely provides the short-lived citrus burst of bergamot and some other sweetish and fruity background notes, that I believe are apart of the initial lavender accord.
