REVIEWS

Basenotes - the Leather version is my favorite because it has a subtle, dry leather-oud note that mixes with the warm, sweetness of the nutty vanilla that you'll smell in all versions. It's more balanced and refined that way, a needed improvement from the others. It reminds me of something you'd get from Parfums de Marly.  Very good performance with plenty of noticeable projection and all-day longevity.

Fragrantica -  This ticks all the boxes for me! 
In the opening you get the SWY dna. Just wait 10-15min and the most beautiful transformation happens. I get leather and a wonderfully comforting oud.  This is crafted so well. Bravo Cecile Matton!! Excellent flanker! 11/10 

Fragrantica - The amount of unsolicited compliments i got from both men and women with this flanker is just amazing. It gave the original SWY DNA a woodier less sweeter dry down which made it more mature, versatile and longer lasting. Hands down the best flanker in the line.

Fragrantica - An amazing rendition of a fragrance I am not even really fond of. I'm not a fan of the original or Intensely because I feel they are just too sweet... This leather version however has the sweetness dialed back and is smoother. I get the leather immediately and it's not animalic, maybe a bit synthetic but it's good and adds character to the dna. Well worth the effort it took to find a bottle as this is not the easiest to buy in the USA. To me this is a 10/10.

Fragrantica - I find the scent marvelous. Leather, oud, sweet gourmandy notes, I like them all. That being said, I was a little disappointed that the performance couldn't match some of the others in the SWY line; namely the ones mentioned above. Of the three exclusive SWY's, I would put this in second place, SWY Oud in third place, and SWY Amber in first place. SWY Leather smells very similar to SWY Oud, but adds leather and sweet/gourmand notes to make it more interesting. SWY Amber beats both in terms of performance, and stays fairly close to the original SWY DNA that I already love. At the end of the day none of them are bad fragrances, and I'm glad to have them all in my collection.

Fragrantica - Absolute leather gourmand perfection in a beautiful bottle. This is quite literally SWY Intensely with added Leather. Making it more masculine and interesting than the rest in the line. The middle east has the best releases hands down. They just do it right.

Fragrantica - I think this is one of the best leather scents currently, it opens with such a gorgeous leather note blended in nicely with the SWY dna but I'd say a less sweet DNA, smells really really nice.  The leather really hangs on during the mid and into dry down and then settling with that classic stronger with you dna, it is really something imo. Absolutely love this and it's well worth it if you're a fan of the SWY line.

Fragrantica - Smells delicious. Chestnut/ vanilla & lavender are the main notes with very subtle leather/ Oud in the background. The Oud is not foreign not off putting, rather contributes to the smoothness & adds depth while remaining softly tasty gourmand.... smooth roasted chestnut mellows out giving off vibe of apple pie, sweet potato pie, with nutmeg sprinkled on top.

Fragrantica - Killer frag and for me, by far the best of the entire line.  Clean leather, with the standard Stonger With You sweetness toned down a bit...mild spice...slight oud....long lasting, more masculine than the others. Also quite unique.  Pulls mad compliments from women.  For me it's a 10/10, which I don't say lightly.

Fragrantica - The og which was released in 2017 is very sweet but this SWY's flanker is supposed to be Armani's Dubai/ME Exlusive was released in 2020...Love at the first sniff!  This has one of the Best and gorgeous, fantastic opening for a leather/oud frag. The semi sweet spiciness with the nuanced soft velvet suede leather and a soft oud, my nose literally can't stop smelling and melts in this lovely opening. It's smooth and creamy and the leather+oud eally blends well with the sweetness of swy but not as sweet. One can literally shower with this juice.  Final Verdict: 9.5/10  Absolute gorgeous leather/oud gourmand perfection 

Fragrantica - If you love stronger with you, any of the flankers for that matter, you'll love this. This one is more akin to the 'Stronger with you Absolutely', but it's certainly different. It has the same DNA but added leather and spices mostly. I don't get much of the 'distinct leather', but spices certainly are evident. Whilst also staying sweet....Overall, this is the best SWY in the line. It's a Dubai exclusive, so it can be a bit harder to source, but if you have the chance, snap this up immediately.

Fragrantica - it smells fantastic! I loved how this flanker kept the same SWY DNA but added more depth and darkness to it with leather and oud.  It's certainly not that strong on leather but still you get some hint of it, it leans more on the sweet side.

Fragrantica - Three words, spicy, sweet and leather. This is another top notch flanker in continuation of the SWY series. Imagine the original flanker and add leather, spices, subtle hints of oud and guaiac wood. Grand stuff! 

Fragrantica - Opening is sweet, spicy, woody, and leathery. Right away I get the chestnut, spices, leather, and guaiac/oud. I also pick up the lavender and vanilla underneath. The leather note is similar to the leather in CH Men Prive. After about 30 minutes the chestnut became stronger and took on a chocolatey vibe. In the dry down I mostly got the chocolatey chestnut, leather, and vanilla with just a little bit of woods in the background....I find the scent marvelous. Leather, oud, sweet gourmandy notes,
