What Is Fragrance World Proud Of You Absolute a Dupe Of?

Which Stronger With You is the reference?

Fragrance World Proud Of You Absolute is a clone of Emporio Armani Stronger With You Absolutely. We rate the similarity at 88%. The rum, chestnut and vanilla combination is the connection to look for. If that's your favorite part of Absolutely, this is an alternative we'd consider.

The names are easy to mix up: Fragrance World's bottle says Absolute, while Armani's says Absolutely. We're comparing it with Absolutely Parfum, rather than the original Stronger With You, Intensely, or the separate release called Stronger With You Parfum.

How do their notes compare?

Both catalog pyramids list rum, bergamot and elemi in the opening, followed by lavender and davana. The bases line up too, with Madagascar vanilla, chestnut, cedar and patchouli. That gives you a useful picture of the shared idea: a boozy opening, aromatic notes in the middle, and a sweet, woody base.

We'd pay particular attention to the balance between the rum and vanilla when sampling. Then see how much of the chestnut and woody side you notice as it settles. Shared notes make the comparison easy to understand, but their balance matters more than simply ticking off the same ingredients.

Would we choose it over Absolutely?

At 88%, we'd give Proud Of You Absolute a look if you want this style and its current price works for you. If you already own Absolutely, try them together before deciding you need both. If you're new to the scent, a sample can help you work out whether the sweet rum-and-vanilla direction suits you in the first place.

Our rating is for scent similarity. We'd judge comfort, wear and how often we'd use the bottle separately. You might prefer one version even when the resemblance is close, so the percentage is a starting point for the decision.
