You know what? I heard about this thing, this perfume, they call it “Armani Stronger With You Intensely”. Sounds fancy, huh? My granddaughter, she’s always on that internet thing, told me about it. She says it’s a big deal. Says it’s a stronger smell, for men, I guess. I don’t know nothin’ ’bout that, but I’ll tell ya what I heard.

So, this “Stronger With You” stuff, it’s like, the best, she says. Better than all the others. And this “Intensely” one, well, that’s even more, you know? More strong. Like when you bake a pie, and you put more sugar in it? That kind of more. She said it’s good for all year, like, when it’s hot, and when it’s cold, like my old winter coat, good for everything. That’s why she keeps saying Emporio Armani Stronger is good.
They say it lasts a long time, too. Like, all day long. Nine, ten hours, she said! Can you believe that? Like when you cook a big pot of stew, and it keeps you full for the whole day. That’s a long time for a smell, ain’t it? This stronger with you intense, it must be somethin’ else. Better smell than the others, I guess. Stronger notes, she said. I don’t know what that means, but it sounds good, right?
You put it on your wrist, she says. And your elbow. And your neck. Like when you put on that lotion for your dry skin. Just a little bit, I guess. Don’t need a whole lot of this stuff, I reckon. Just a dab here and there. And it’s got some fancy name. Emporio something. Sounds Italian. Like that spaghetti stuff we eat sometimes. The bottle even like the other Emporio Armani stuff. Fancy, I guess.
They say it’s got vanilla in it. You know, like in them vanilla cookies I make? And some kind of wood smell. Like when you chop wood for the fire. But not that smoky smell. A nice wood smell. And something called pink pepper, can you believe that? Pink pepper! Never heard of such a thing. But it must smell good, ’cause she says it’s all fancy and what not, this Stronger With You Intensely.
- Vanilla smell, like cookies.
- Wood smell, like a nice fire.
- Pink pepper, whatever that is!
- Lasts all day long.
She says it’s for young folks, in love and all that. This stronger with you intense is for the young ones. Like them romance movies, I guess. Makes them feel good, I suppose. Makes them feel, what did she say? Passionate? Like when you really want that last piece of pie. You just gotta have it. That’s what this perfume is like, I reckon. Makes you want it, all the time.

I don’t know much about these things, but that granddaughter of mine, she sure does. She’s always tellin’ me ’bout this and that. And this Emporio Armani Stronger thing, it sounds like somethin’ special. Somethin’ strong. Somethin’ that lasts. Like a good marriage, I guess. Or a good pot of stew. Or a good, strong cup of coffee in the mornin’. Yep, that’s what it sounds like. A good, strong somethin’.
She says everyone’s talkin’ ’bout it, this stronger with you intense. Like when everyone was talkin’ ’bout that new tractor old man Johnson got. Big news, you know? This perfume must be like that. Big news. Everyone wants it. ‘Cause it’s the best, she says. The strongest. The one that lasts the longest. The most versatile one, that’s what they say.
I still don’t know what “versatile” means, but it sounds good, don’t it? Like somethin’ that can do anything. Like my old kitchen knife. That thing can chop anything. Maybe this perfume is like that. Can do anything. Make you smell good no matter what. Even if you’re workin’ in the garden all day, or cookin’ up a big meal, or just sittin’ on the porch watchin’ the world go by.
Well, there you have it. That’s all I know about this Armani Stronger With You Intensely stuff. Sounds like a good thing to me. Maybe I’ll tell my grandson to get some. He’s a good boy. He deserves somethin’ nice. Somethin’ strong. Somethin’ that lasts. Just like his grandma. Strong and lasts a long time. Yep, that’s me.
