Fareed

This review is pretty much the same as my review for Lattafas Al Nashama caprice as they are so similar in quality and scent profile, I'd genuinely struggle to choose one over the other! Again, I'm astounded that a fragrance at this price not only competes with a classic like LNDH but surpasses it. Many inspirational scents fall short but occasionally something comes along that is astounding. For under £30 GBP you get a classic that performs way beyond it has any right to! It projects at way over arms length for a good few hours and remaining easily noticeable, but slightly closer for the same again. The sillage is very good and people will take notice without any respiratory issues. Again, it's a classic for a reason. Timeless and distinguished. As per the original it's a male dominant scent, hence the name of the YSL offering. But hey, these days you can pretty much wear what ever floats your boat! Wear in almost any situation and whatever season it happens to be. This product will do it all. Probably for the more level headed, civilised type of individual but if you enjoy quality and class why not give it a go, whatever your age! The actual scent is so incredibly well blended that it truly belies it's price. The notes listed are all fairly distinguishable singularly and combine beautifully as a whole. Fareed is just a little bit more lively all around over the original, hence why it offers offers the much welcomed increase in performance. Someone seems to have asked themselves how they could keep the essence of the original but improve it in just about every area.....they succeeded spectacularly. Now, you'd think it's lucky to find one decent clone of a classic but stone me, I managed to stumble across two together! If you like the sound of this but would like an additional fresher blue aspect then I implore you to try Al Nashama Caprice by Lattafa. It has all of the quality and performance of this Fareed but adds a new/old element by mimicking the very popular but strangely discontinued Bleu electrique version of NLDH. Either are just excellent, offering strength and performance quite a bit better than the perfumes they copy without losing the identity of the originals. Honestly, I'm more a fan of classic Barbershop, Fougere and chypre style of fragrance but these are an excellent alternative when I fancy something different.

This is the bottle I've been hunting for! OG: The original La Nuit de L'Homme is an absolute masterpiece in men's perfumery, but over the past decade or so, it has suffered from mediocre performance. The bottle I bought last year doesn't even come CLOSE to the performance of the bottle I bought in 2010. Even with these issues, LNDL has maintained its status as the ultimate date-night scent. Solid Clone: I discovered Riflesso a couple of years ago, and was impressed with how close it was to the OG - about 95%. Sadly, the performance of that bottle also matched the OG - 1 hour of projection, 3 more hours as a skin scent. If you prefer lower performance for any reason, this is the one to get - Riflesso is priced 60% lower than the original for an almost perfect match. The Best Clone: Now we get to this bottle by Riiffs. They've also been able to match LNDL's scent at around 95%, but with the 5% that's missing, THEY FIXED THE PERFORMANCE PROBLEM! I sprayed it on my hand 6 hours ago, and it's still a solid skin scent that will easily be there for a few more. It projected moderately for about 2 hours, settled down into a small scent bubble for another 2.5 hours, and is still going as a solid skin scent. This, to me, is the performance you need for the perfect date night - it will project quietly through dinner, remain in a intimately cozy scent bubble through "dessert", and still be a skin scent for the afterglow. Unlike most other clones, this one needed none of the usual maturation - I got this performance out of the bottle USPS just delivered yesterday. Can't wait to see if it improves over the next couple of weeks. This is a perfect 10...and I only paid $30 for it.

Sprayer leaves a lot to be desired. Presentation is on par with cheaper perfumes but I like it. Now on to what really matters. I received my bottle yesterday and wore it to work that night. So this is my opinion based on limited usage. This is in fact a 1-1 of the OG LNDL. No need to let this sit. It smells wonderful right out of the box. I received three compliments from ladies during this 8 hours and two from my male counterparts. Everyone wanted to know what it was so I provided them the back story of possibly the best date night scent ever created and how it lost its balls. Then I proceeded to link them straight to the Riiff website at their request. Fareed was present during the entirety of my 8 hour shift with the strongest projection lasting around 3-4 hours. I would say about 4-5 feet during this time. An arms length 5-7 hours in and finally a skin scent for the remainder. To me the hype is real and Fareed brought a huge smile to my face the moment I got the first whiff. You will be frustrated by the lackluster sprayer but what lies within the purple glass is truly something I have been missing ever since I sold my pricey OG bottle. I was told 10/10 by my coworkers. I always try to ask them to rate. For the price of $39.99 you cannot go wrong.

I have this, Lattafa Al Nashama Caprice, Fragrance World Jack of Clubs and Grandeur Iconic Nuit. This is definitely more original La Nuit and has the strong cardamom from the vintage juice. I was literally comparing it against my 2011 vintage La Nuit today and they are extremely close. While this has the amped up spices in the opening, it is also a bit airer like Frozen Cologne. This is definitely stronger and slightly longer lasting than even vintage La Nuit, but it's good for maybe 7-8 hours total, strong projection for the first hour, moderate projection for hours 2-5, skin scent 6-7. It slightly outlasts the vintage 2011 juice. Anyone saying 2011-2012 LNDH was a beast is greatly exaggerating, even though it was the strongest formula and blows away 2009-2010 and 2013-2025 batches. Fareed definitely outperforms every version of La Nuit and every flanker I've tried. Unfortunately I am just so burned out on La Nuit de l'Homme DNA. I don't think I will be reaching for this again anytime soon. If anyone is interested in trading for my bottle, send me a PM. Please, CONUS only. I also have a couple bottles of La Nuit de l'Homme EDP (the old discontinued version) for sale or swap .

I don't own or have much experience with YSL La Nuit De l'Homme but from what I do remember, this is in the 90-95% range of similarity. Regardless, I have become somewhat of a fragrance snob and have stopped buying clones/dupes altogether. I'd rather spend my money on better options that are more expensive and for good reason. One bottle of a well sourced fragrance as opposed to 5/$30 clones just seems to be the better option for my taste. That being said, this is the one clone that I felt would be nice to own based on the hype and it has more than lived up to it. I don't subscribe to the "maceration" theory but I'm gonna see if it pertains to this beauty. With or without it, it's a wonderful scent that Riiffs did an amazing job with. Performance doesn't appear to be anything great but hopefully that'll come in time. Excellent purchase that I would recommend to anyone, despite where they find themselves on their fragrance collecting spectrum.

I used to rock the OG in the late 2000’s. Was a signature scent for a while... I still have the bottle but it is soooooo syrupy it is disappointing to spray. So when I saw Riffs to a swing at it I could help but get it. As soon as I sprayed it, I knew they nailed it. Talk about olfactory memories... I’m right back in there. I don’t have a good bottle of LNDL to do a side by side... but if you trust a guy who used to wear it every day, I’d say this is an easy buy. @sunli I think it is heavier on the lavender if I had to choose, but again... it’s been a while since I’ve smelled the OG. It seems a touch stronger out the bottle which I’m guessing is based on the slighter heavier lavender note. I wouldn’t want this fragrance to ever be sweet, and it’s not. More powdery if anything. Can’t wait for it to age a little... First impressions though, I’m impressed.

This is the best La Nuit de l'Homme clone, powerful juice that reminds me of my 2011 vintage La Nuit with shades of Frozen Cologne. It's not as sweet as the 2011 and it's airier like Frozen Cologne but with the stronger cardamom of the vintage juice. This is a good thing as it makes it more versatile. This also has much better performance than modern LNDH. I will give this a full review soon. The one thing I will add in here is that my bottle was second hand so it had some time to mature. I saw some reviews where people got bottles that seems to have lackluster performance or rough edges: take some out of the bottle and let it sit somewhere cool for a few weeks to a month and a half. Test it intermittently and see how it changes. I will add to this review in the future, but I will just say that as far as I can tell so far, the hype is real on this one!

A lot of fake reviews down below, all the accounts have exactly 15 reviews all for Riffs and Nusuk. It's a real shame because this is honestly the best La Nuit clone I've tried, and it's not even close to the next one. I probably won't buy from Riffs again because of these tactics they are using, even though I do enjoy this and I absolutely love Seasons Drift. With that said, if you got a bottle of this and you think it has bad performance, it's probably on of two things, potentially both: 1. Your bottle needs time to mature with air in the bottle, at least 4-6 weeks. 2. You are going noseblind. Spray it on the back of you hand only and don't hold it near your face, come back every so often and you will see it's still very much there. I am getting around 8 hours total time on skin.

This restored my faith in the Riiffs brand. Alot of social media hype around the brand, and I feel like I struck out on a couple, namely 'Momento'... But honestly, that one just needed to age a little bit because it's alot better. Besides the point tho, this (Fareed) is HEAT! Right out the box., it smells amazing. Was debating this and Lattafa Al Nashama Caprice, went with this one due to performance issues with the latter. Im glad I did., moves up to my top 10 easily. Wasn't expecting that at all. Got it off a good shop on Ebay, but just found the wonderful world of the TikTok Shop.. Could have saved some coin, but for $45, I am very happy with the purchase

Good dupe of la nuit de L homme which is said to be one of the finest perfumes ever in men's perfumery! If you love LNDH u can't go wrong with it! This matches the OG by 90% that too with a far better performance than the latest batch of LNDH. It's more of a spicy and lavendar heavy fresh scent that you can wear all year around with little bit of sweetness of tonka beans ! Projects about 2 ft for almost 1.5 hours after that I can smell on my skin for around 5 hours easily. So I would say 5-6 hours on skin and add extra 1-2 hours on clothes. Decent performer but much better than the OG

To my nose, this is 98% identical to the original La nuit de l'homme before it got nerfed. The current version is a shadow of it's formal self but thanks to this frag, that's no longer a problem. Loreal thinks it's funny they can cut costs by using less/cheaper ingredients blaming "allergens" or "environmental protection" or "sustainability" as an excuse and fool anybody? Maybe gullible yt folks but not us. They can f*ck right off thanks to these middle eastern fragrance houses. This is my new daily driver, date night, casual outing frag. My signature. Welcome back LNDH.

I have a well macerated 2025 manufactured bottle and to my nose its very close to La Nuit de l'Homme...Long lasting and well projecting..I have Al Nashama Caprice & Hamdan The Brave too. Both of them are year old batch and macerated for 3 months least..They all smell similar but IMO Fareed is the best..It last long, project well and smell identical to La Nuit de l'Homme..!!

I think I found the hidden gem. Beautiful fresh lavender scent! Was hesitant at first on the initial spray but on skin this is a beautiful lavender powder scent with a bit of pepper. Very very clean. I truly believe this can be worn anytime of the year and time of day. Especially for special occasions or date nights.

I fell for the hype. Extremely disappointed. Left hand OG right hand Fareed. OG still can smell around 3 hours mark while Fareed is gone after 2 hours. The OG is weak, this is weaker! Gonna layer this with Nashama to get the best out of it. On its own the performance is mediocre. Scent wise 90-93% close to OG.

I like it a lot. Not sure if it is like blue electric but the dry down is very much LNDL. The Geranium note is what give a soapy floral smell, I wish they didn't include that but when it leaves the rest is LNDL. Stronger opening with the floral and pepper note which is what people are identifying as synthetic

definitely not an eternal lasting frag but quality wise its top notch ,LNDL dna made denser that defines fareed perfectly, a fresh and spicy date night frag that women definitely like on men. lasting on clothes i got was 6-7 hours , 1.5 hr of moderate projection

I initially thought this fragrance would be masculine, but it’s actually a beautiful unisex scent. I haven’t tried La Nuit L’Homme, but I genuinely love this one. Thank you so much, Riifs Perfumes, for creating such a beautiful fragrance.

Clean and fresh , easy to wear, good for any occasion. Good for the office and gym as well. Really can't go wrong with this one,safe blind buy.

this is the best YSL LNDL dupe i have ever smelled. for the price this is a no brainier.

Very pleasant smell with good performance for only 13$
