[Stronger With You Intensely](https://10ml.com/perfumes/giorgio-armani-stronger-with-you-intensely) by [Giorgio Armani](https://10ml.com/brands/giorgio-armani) launched in 2019 as a men's scent for going out. [Pink pepper](https://10ml.com/notes/pink-pepper), juniper and [violet](https://10ml.com/notes/violet) give it a spiced start. The heart is where it turns sweet: toffee and [cinnamon](https://10ml.com/notes/cinnamon) with [lavender](https://10ml.com/notes/lavender) and sage, so the dessert side always has an aromatic thread running through it. The base is [vanilla](https://10ml.com/notes/vanilla), [amber](https://10ml.com/notes/amber), [tonka bean](https://10ml.com/notes/tonka-bean) and suede. Its accords put vanilla, sweet, amber and cinnamon first, with powdery and caramel further down. Think of it as a cold-evening, date-night perfume. Every clone below is measured against that toffee, cinnamon and lavender heart. ## Which Stronger With You is this guide about? Armani has stretched the line into several flankers, and the names blur together when you shop for a clone. Absolutely, the Parfum and Powerfully are Armani's own versions, not clones, so none of them is ranked here. This guide covers the Intensely alone. For how it differs from Absolutely, read [Stronger With You Intensely vs Absolutely](https://10ml.com/guides/stronger-with-you-intensely-vs-absolutely). One pick below, Heroic Man, is said by a Parfumo member to sit nearer the first Stronger With You than the Intensely. Worth knowing before you order a bottle of it. ## Stronger With You Intensely alternatives compared Bottle prices in other shops, as checked 1 October 2026 Perfumes made and sold by other houses. 10ML does not sell them. | # | Alternative | Role | Basis of comparison | Source | Bottle price | Per ml | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Bright Tobacco (Lou de Pre) | Best overall | Named source | [Source](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/lou-de-pre/bright-tobacco/vs/Giorgio_Armani/emporio-armani-stronger-with-you-intensely) | €14.95 (90 ml) | €0.17/ml | | 2 | Hooked Intensely (Rue Broca) | Closest on the dry-down | Named source | [Source](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/rue-broca/hooked-intensely/reviews/687750) | €21.95 (100 ml) | €0.22/ml | | 3 | Heroic Man (La Rive) | Lowest price | Named source | [Source](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/La_Rive/heroic-man/vs/Giorgio_Armani/emporio-armani-stronger-with-you-intensely) | €8.49 (100 ml) | €0.08/ml | | 4 | CR7 Game On (Cristiano Ronaldo) | Fresher take | Named source | [Source](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/Cristiano_Ronaldo/cr7-game-on-eau-de-toilette/vs/Giorgio_Armani/emporio-armani-stronger-with-you-intensely) | €30.59 (100 ml) | €0.31/ml | | 5 | Your Touch Intense (Maison Alhambra) | Darker take | Named source | [Source](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/maison-alhambra/your-touch-intense/reviews/578656) | No EU price | — | | 6 | The Rock Intensely (Bujairami) | Softer take | Named source | [Source](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Bujairami/The-Rock-Intensely-123810.html) | No EU price | — | ## Best overall: Bright Tobacco Bright Tobacco by Lou de Pre pairs a strong comparison vote with a note list that follows the original. On [Parfumo's comparison page](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/lou-de-pre/bright-tobacco/vs/Giorgio_Armani/emporio-armani-stronger-with-you-intensely), most members who voted find it similar to Stronger With You Intensely. The same page lists bergamot, cinnamon and pink pepper on top, lavender, sage and violet in the heart, and suede, vanilla and caramel in the base, so the spine of the Armani is there. The main difference is in the details. [A Parfumo member who compared the two](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/lou-de-pre/bright-tobacco/reviews/628204) finds it very close, with an extra, almost imperceptible hint of cinnamon, and [another](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/lou-de-pre/bright-tobacco/reviews/581860) finds it strongly resembles the original, with a citrus opening, a sweet-chestnut note and a touch of leather. Going by the list, juniper, toffee, amber and tonka bean are not named, and bergamot and caramel appear instead. Despite the name, Parfumo's list carries no tobacco note. It suits someone who wants the sweet, spiced character of the original in a large bottle and does not mind a little extra cinnamon. Basis: a named source, the comparison page and members' write-ups on Parfumo. ## Closest on the dry-down: Hooked Intensely Hooked Intensely by Rue Broca holds this slot on one detailed account. A [Parfumo member](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/rue-broca/hooked-intensely/reviews/687750) who wore it against a friend's bottle of Stronger With You Intensely finds it zestier at first, then more and more similar as both dry down. In that member's experience, the original lasts a little longer. The main difference is the opening. [Parfumo's comparison page](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/rue-broca/hooked-intensely/vs/Giorgio_Armani/emporio-armani-stronger-with-you-intensely) lists pink pepper, juniper, violet and amber; toffee, cinnamon, sage and musk; vanilla, tonka bean, amber and cedar. That tracks the Armani pyramid closely, with musk and cedar added and no lavender or suede named. Most of the members who voted there, from a small pool, find the two similar. It suits someone who wants the toffee-and-vanilla end of the original and is happy with a brighter first impression. Basis: a named source, one member's write-up and the comparison page. ## Lowest price: Heroic Man Heroic Man by La Rive is the lowest-priced bottle in the table by a wide margin. Most members voting on [Parfumo's comparison page](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/La_Rive/heroic-man/vs/Giorgio_Armani/emporio-armani-stronger-with-you-intensely) find it similar to Stronger With You Intensely. The main difference is which Armani it resembles. [A Parfumo member](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/La_Rive/heroic-man/reviews/204162) who tried it next to both Armani scents finds it less sweet than the Intensely and closer to the first Stronger With You, and finds it sits close to the skin after about three hours. It suits someone who finds the Intensely too sweet, or who already likes the earlier Stronger With You and wants 100ml to use without rationing. Basis: a named source, the comparison page and a member's write-up on Parfumo. ## Fresher take: CR7 Game On CR7 Game On by Cristiano Ronaldo moves the sweetness somewhere cooler. [Fragrantica lists](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Cristiano-Ronaldo/CR7-Game-On-62480.html) papaya, cardamom, apple and ice on top, lavender, violet and elemi in the heart, and sugar, tonka bean, cedar, cashmere wood, guaiac wood and juniper berries in the base. [A Parfumo member](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/Cristiano_Ronaldo/cr7-game-on-eau-de-toilette/reviews/710207) finds it sweet, fruity and fresh. The main difference is the heart. Going by the lists, the toffee and cinnamon at the centre of the Armani are not named, and fruit and an ice accord lead instead. On [its comparison page](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/Cristiano_Ronaldo/cr7-game-on-eau-de-toilette/vs/Giorgio_Armani/emporio-armani-stronger-with-you-intensely), most members who voted, from a modest pool, still find the pair similar. It suits someone who likes the lavender-and-tonka side of the original but wants it lighter and fruitier. Basis: a named source, the Fragrantica listing, a Parfumo member and the comparison page. ## Darker take: Your Touch Intense Your Touch Intense by Maison Alhambra stays near the original on paper. [Fragrantica lists](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Maison-Alhambra/Your-Touch-Intense-120258.html) pink pepper, violet and juniper; toffee, cinnamon, lavender and clary sage; vanilla, amber, tonka bean and suede. That follows the Armani pyramid almost line for line. The main difference is shading. [A Parfumo member](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/maison-alhambra/your-touch-intense/reviews/578656) finds it captures the original's sweetness, but with more lavender and leather, before it takes its own turn, and [another](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/maison-alhambra/your-touch-intense/statements/2738547) finds something dark in it that pairs with that sweetness. It suits someone who wants the same sweetness with more leather and lavender around it. Basis: a named source, the Fragrantica note list and members' comments on Parfumo. ## Softer take: The Rock Intensely The Rock Intensely by Bujairami is the less sugary route. Members on [its Fragrantica page](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Bujairami/The-Rock-Intensely-123810.html) find it decently close to Stronger With You Intensely once it settles, with more lavender, less sweetness and less of the gourmand side. Fragrantica lists violet, pink pepper and juniper; lavender, cinnamon and sage; vanilla, tonka and amber. The main difference is the toffee. It is missing from the list, which fits what those members describe: the dessert side pulled back and the lavender pushed forward. It suits someone who likes the shape of the original but finds its toffee too much. Basis: a named source, Fragrantica members and the note list there. ## Similar original perfumes we stock Original perfumes that share the lavender, vanilla and tonka warmth of the Armani, each as a decant filled from the original bottle. | # | Perfume | Main notes | 3 ml | 10 ml | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | [Parfums de Marly Pegasus Exclusif](https://10ml.com/perfumes/parfums-de-marly-pegasus-exclusif) | Bergamot, pink pepper and bitter almond, then lavender and heliotrope, over vanilla, amber, tonka bean and sandalwood. | €8.64 (€2.88/ml) | €24.84 (€2.48/ml) | | 2 | [Jo Malone London Myrrh & Tonka](https://10ml.com/perfumes/jo-malone-london-myrrh-and-tonka) | Lavender over myrrh, settling on tonka bean, vanilla and almond: a simple, balsamic warmth. | €9.81 (€3.27/ml) | €25.20 (€2.52/ml) | | 3 | [Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir](https://10ml.com/perfumes/jean-paul-gaultier-le-male-elixir) | Lavender and mint over vanilla and benzoin, with honey, tonka bean and tobacco in the base. | €7.29 (€2.43/ml) | €21.06 (€2.11/ml) | ## What the clones keep, and what they drop Of the five clones here with a published note list, four name lavender and four name vanilla, and most of them keep the cinnamon too. The toffee is what gets dropped most often: only Hooked Intensely and Your Touch Intense list it. Fragrantica members on The Rock Intensely and one Parfumo member on Heroic Man both describe less sweetness than the Armani. So the clones split two ways. Some keep the toffee-and-cinnamon sweetness: one Your Touch Intense member finds it captures it, and one member finds Hooked Intensely converging as it settles. Others trim the sugar and push the lavender forward, which takes them further from the Intensely's dessert side. ## A clone bottle, or the Armani in 3ml first? The usual dupe arithmetic shifts here, because the original is not costly to try. A 3ml of Stronger With You Intensely, around 60 sprays, is €8.10, and a 10ml decant, around 200 sprays, is €21.87 (€2.19/ml). At the checked prices, Heroic Man is the only clone bottle in the table below the 3ml, and CR7 Game On's bottle costs more than the 10ml decant. Per ml, every priced clone still works out lower, since they come in 90ml and 100ml bottles. If you already know this scent is yours and you spray it generously, a big clone bottle goes further. If you are still deciding, the original costs little to wear first, and a 30ml, around 600 sprays, is see the product page if it becomes your cold-weather default. Your Touch Intense and The Rock Intensely show no price in the table: no in-stock EU listing turned up for either on the check date. To set these numbers against the rest of the catalogue, open our [per-ml price index](https://10ml.com/guides/perfume-price-per-ml-index), or weigh a decant against a full bottle in [this explainer](https://10ml.com/guides/decant-vs-full-bottle). ## Three originals in the same warm style [Pegasus Exclusif](https://10ml.com/perfumes/parfums-de-marly-pegasus-exclusif) by Parfums de Marly, an Extrait de Parfum from 2020, shares pink pepper, lavender, vanilla, amber and tonka bean with the Armani, and adds bitter almond, heliotrope, jasmine, patchouli and sandalwood for an almond-led, woodier take. [Myrrh & Tonka](https://10ml.com/perfumes/jo-malone-london-myrrh-and-tonka) by Jo Malone London is the simplest of the three: lavender over myrrh, then tonka bean, vanilla and almond, a balsamic, unisex version of the same comfort. [Le Male Elixir](https://10ml.com/perfumes/jean-paul-gaultier-le-male-elixir) by Jean Paul Gaultier, from 2023, sets lavender and mint over vanilla and benzoin, then honey, tonka bean and tobacco. Unlike Bright Tobacco's list, it actually names tobacco. All three come as a 3ml, so one can join the original in the same week. For more evening picks, browse our [date-night perfumes](https://10ml.com/date-night-perfumes). ## How to test a Stronger With You Intensely dupe With this perfume, most member reports on these clones turn on sweetness, so make sweetness your test. Wear [Stronger With You Intensely](https://10ml.com/perfumes/giorgio-armani-stronger-with-you-intensely) one evening and the clone the next, sprayed on skin. In the first minutes, notice whether the pink pepper and juniper are there or swapped for citrus and fruit. Then look for the toffee and cinnamon heart, and last, check whether the base reads as vanilla and suede or simply sugar. Return to it late in the evening, once it has settled, since that is when the member comparing Hooked Intensely found the gap closing. A 3ml gives you several evenings of comparison.

What to know first ### Can I wear Stronger With You Intensely from a 3ml before I pick a clone? Yes. 10ML pours the Armani into 3ml, 10ml and 30ml decants from the original bottle. The 3ml, around 60 sprays, is €8.10, and at the checked prices only one clone bottle in our table, Heroic Man, costs less. ### Why does Bright Tobacco top this list of Stronger With You Intensely dupes? It pairs strong backing with a close note list: most members voting on its Parfumo comparison page find it similar, and its note list keeps the cinnamon, lavender, violet, suede and vanilla. One member finds it more linear, closer to the original's dry-down from the start. ### What changes between Hooked Intensely and the Armani original? Mainly the opening. A Parfumo member who wore it against a friend's bottle of the original finds it zestier at first and more and more similar as both dry down, with the original lasting a little longer in that member's experience. ### Is Heroic Man closer to Stronger With You or to the Intensely? Closer to the first Stronger With You, according to a Parfumo member who tried it next to both Armani scents and found it less sweet than the Intensely. Most members on its comparison page still find it similar to the Intensely. ### Is Stronger With You Absolutely a clone of the Intensely? No. Absolutely, the Parfum and Powerfully are Giorgio Armani's own flankers, not clones, so this guide does not rank them. Our separate guide sets the Intensely against Absolutely note by note. ### Per ml, do the clones beat a 10ml decant of the original? Per ml they do, because they come in 90ml and 100ml bottles. A 10ml decant of the original is €21.87, though, which is already less than the CR7 Game On bottle in our table. ### Which originals share the vanilla and tonka of Stronger With You Intensely? Pegasus Exclusif by Parfums de Marly, Myrrh & Tonka by Jo Malone London and Le Male Elixir by Jean Paul Gaultier all list vanilla, tonka bean and lavender. Pegasus Exclusif adds bitter almond, and Le Male Elixir adds honey and tobacco. ### How long will Stronger With You Intensely stay with me? It varies with skin, weather and how many sprays you use, so we do not quote a figure. Wear the 3ml on a few cold evenings and note for yourself when it fades. ### Does 10ML sell dupes? No. 10ML sells only original perfumes. We buy our bottles from authorized EU distributors and directly from the brands, and 10ML decants every perfume itself. The dupes in this guide are other houses’ perfumes, and we don’t sell them. You can wear the original first from €8.10. ## Sources - [Bright Tobacco vs Stronger With You Intensely (Parfumo comparison)](https://www.parfumo.com/compare/lou-de-pre/bright-tobacco/vs/Giorgio_Armani/emporio-armani-stronger-with-you-intensely) - [Bright Tobacco, member write-up 'Best Dupe 2026?'
