🇫🇷 French Perfumes!😶‍🌫 Long Lasting and Intense Scents!👍 Fraction of the Cost of Designer Fragrances

PRODUCT DETAILS

You get You and Me as an eau de parfum, 50 ml, at about 20% fragrance oil. It costs €25, the same as every fragrance we make, whatever the original scent behind it. Orders from €49 ship free and arrive in 2 to 5 working days.

Stronger With You is sold as an eau de toilette, and we make You and Me as an eau de parfum instead, for better longevity than a lighter concentration. Expect 6 to 8 hours on skin, with soft, close sillage rather than a room-filling trail.

French fragrance oils, handmade in small batches, vegan and never tested on animals. You have 15 days to exchange You and Me if it misses the mark.

You and Me is priced the same as every affordable fragrance in the range, with free shipping on orders from €49 and delivery in 2 to 5 working days - the same shipping and delivery terms apply whichever Emporio Armani original inspired the bottle. Notes run top, heart and base; what other brands would separate into middle notes, we simply group into the heart.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

You and Me is our perfume dupe of Stronger With You by Giorgio Armani, built for men who want that warm, spicy-sweet signature without the designer price tag. It opens on cardamom, pink pepper, violet leaf and mint, moves into a heart of sage, melon and pineapple, then settles into vanilla, chestnut, cedar and amberwood.

The vanilla and chestnut base is what most people remember about Stronger With You, and this fragrance leans into that same cosy, slightly gourmand character, so it smells like the original from the first spray. The opening is sharp and a little cool from the mint and pepper, then it warms up fast, and within the hour it sits close to the skin as something soft and sweet rather than loud.

Search for Stronger With You Emporio Armani and you will land on plenty of alternatives chasing the same warm vanilla base; You and Me is our take on it, built to read as one of the better perfumes in that spicy-gourmand lane rather than a thin stand-in. It sits closer to an eau de parfum than the lighter eau de cologne end of the fragrance world, so the vanilla and chestnut base has room to actually develop.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

CHOOSE YOUR LIFESYLE

You and Me

Inspired by: Stronger With You, Giorgio Armani

You and Me works from autumn through winter, when a warm, vanilla-heavy fragrance actually feels right against the cold; it is a bit heavy for summer heat. It is light enough for the office in small doses, though it earns its keep more on date nights and evenings out.

It is built as a masculine fragrance for men, close and cosy rather than a scent that fills a room, though it is not so heavy that women never reach for it. A couple of sprays after a shower is usually enough to see the day through.

You and Me works as a unisex option even though it is sold for him first: the cardamom and pepper opening lean masculine, but the vanilla-chestnut base reads soft enough to suit her too, with a feminine warmth that keeps it from feeling one-note. It is one of the Stronger With You alternatives that gets picked as a gift for her almost as often as for him.

Choose our Inspiration

Giorgio Armani is an Italian luxury house better known for tailoring than for fragrance, and Stronger With You arrived under the Emporio Armani line in 2017 as one of the scents that changed how the brand's fragrances are talked about. It sits firmly in mainstream designer perfumery, the kind of bottle you see on every counter rather than tucked away in a niche boutique.

Most people just call it Stronger With You or plain Armani, and its warm, chestnut-vanilla base has made it one of the fragrances every list of perfume dupes and every fragrance dupe roundup for Emporio Armani ends up mentioning, ours as an alternative included.

Most reviews of Stronger With You mention the same chestnut-vanilla warmth, and that is the detail every review of a Stronger With You dupe in this lane tries to recreate.

Why choose us?

You and Me is our alternative to Giorgio Armani Stronger With You, one dupe among the many built around that original. It is our own blend, not a clone stamped from the same mould, made with French fragrance oils and filled by hand in small batches to smell similar to the original.

We only make it as an eau de parfum, because that concentration is what carries this kind of warm, spicy vanilla accord properly. If it does not feel similar to what you remember, send it back within 15 days and we will swap it.
