Poker Face

Epic Journey Into the Bottled Yonder, 233 ------------------------------------------------------- Tested 13th September 2024 (test strip) and today: 4th of July 2025 (skin test) ///\//////\//////\//////\//////\//////\//////\//////\//////\//////\//////\//////\//////\//////\/////\//////\//////\//////\// Just under 10 months later, the long awaited sequel review! Chaps, you'll wanna read this one. In recent time I learnt through my own mistakes that I must try testing on myself rather than trashing every last thing in the mainstream just by a testing strip/card, because I don't get to test colognes that are niche (non-mainstream) since they're only available online - most of the time I nail the choice because I know what to look for as a "niche"/out of the mainstream. I'm honing my skills over time or by the day. Been thinking about Poker Face for at least the recent several weeks, I've made several edits of recent reviews and inserted that cologne into them as a means to begin to admit I may have been wrong about it and allow a recommendation of Poker Face on my part. And boy was I wrong. I'm my best critic since none of you have challenged me, just by clicking the pansy down button and pop all my balloons is not a challenge of opinion, it's a coping mechanism because somebody is wrong. Could be me - Could be you, 'ah haaah there is nothing we can do..' But since you have nothing to say in PMs or otherwise, I have something constructive to say about Poker Face. End disclaimer. ¶ I found the same tester in the same location as almost 10 months ago, though the actual test strip was later trialled at a different location. Poker Face used to be in plentiful supply, only 2 locations near me carry some. ¶ Sprayed 3 times on my shirt and at least 6.5 or 7.5 times at my neck, there were at least a couple misfires. Junky atomiser, but a thoroughly used tester indeed. People perhaps loved this one, and I currently am too. My, do things change. ¶ Got a smoked wood ambience right off the cuff and a gent/manly vibe, oooh yes. We have quite a night out on the town scent here, possibly for actual poker night. Ok I knew the test strip failed back then, because this is quite awesome now!! ¶ It smells like a proper $30-35 scent, but it does better than that price bracket. Almost much better. This wafted at me a while, lasted the walk back to the car and briefly afterwards filling up the water tank in moderate windy/breezy conditions for that 5-15 minute task. I wish it weren't that windy, sort of the wrong day, but Poker Face soldiered on! ¶ Bravo, pretty manly as hell now. Leather leather and patchouli woodyness cedar backed by peppered iris, my gosh; almost a boozy scent without the sweetness and bitter alcohol, quite earthy! ¶ Holy shit it's full of earth... Just ask my fist after rubbing neck. There's only a total of several bottles of this left in my area, two locations, and I'd be sad to let it go to somebody who isn't an enthusiast, because goddamn I need shit like this! ¶ A modern powerhouse. ///\//////\//////\//////\//////\//////\/ P.S. The bottle design is better than most believe. It's actually a magnified look at a type of gentleman's suit or shirt fabric/weave. It further makes this for gents and badasses alike. What a versatile scent, no idea why there's a lot of unisex votes on this site. There's enough wood here to turn a boy into a man whatever that means. But this WILL give you a few more hairs on ya chest. I cannot comment on the cap because it's missing from the shop tester bottle. Atomiser is janky but could be because it's an old tester bottle and strangers on and off abusing it. Reminds me of Riviera Nights, though that is neroli-leather based the dry down of Poker Face resembles the base after dry down. This will be the bottle that finally kickstarts my Lapidus collection!

Story time. I bought a local clone brand that makes dupes of fragrance and I bought D&G The One and LNDL dupes from them for 30ml. Liked the D&G first then over the time I grew liking the LNDL mainly because I used it for special occasions. One day, this girl and I got really close in uni and I ended up taking her out a bunch of time. She's genuinely an amazing person. Everything went well for 2-3 month and to make the story short, I became victim to the classic avoidant love story. She grew distant, yadayadayada you know how it goes if you know about that dynamic. But we ended things In good term after 9 months (oof, ik, especially if you've experienced an avoidant before). Now, the LNDL dupe plays a role in this story being before we ended the semester as in final weeks of uni and before I go back to my home town. We went out for the last time despite we kinda knew we're not working out, but we still enjoyed each others company. I bought her some wholesome gifts and one of the gifts was this cute round black cat plushie/pillow with a velvet texture. I sprayed that LNDL dupe on the cat pillow because I used the dupe almost everytime we went out together and I remember the time were she borrowed my jacket that I wore because she was cold and I noticed she kept sniffing it and I thought she liked the smell hence why I sprayed it on the cat pillow. In fact, she really liked it where she even texted weeks after just to say the cat pillow smells really nice and calming. So, after our last final exam paper, I waited outside the lecture hall and I gave her the few ml that was left on the LNDL dupe I had and gave it to her as a keep sake and that was the last time we saw each other.... Now I bought Pokerface because I wanted to remember how it smelled plus the memories added to the fact that the dupe I used before this was not able to be shipped to my town for some reason so I had to find an alternative. After smelling Poker Face, it's smells exactly the same but maybe more refined when I smell it closer to the nose but damn...... The memories.... I ain't tearing up now but might hit me randomly at night.

I bought this on comments I've seen that it's a clone or replacement option of LNDL. It's close, it's a little sharper, fresher, more aromatic, less creamy. It's similar DNA to LNDL, but I wouldn't call it a clone. There is definitely iris in here which isn't in LNDL. Personally I think this DNA is nice but overhyped... If I'm going to wear something smooth and seductive for a date night I'd prefer sweeter, denser, more vanillic profiles like JPG Le Male Le Parfum. Someone below commented that this fragrance is lacking "bass", there's too much "treble", great way to put it. Not that I'm complaining given this was only $50 AUD (about $30 USD), but despite it being pleasant to wear you can't help feel it's missing some creaminess to sit underneath it. Performance is average. It doesn't project much but it has okay staying power and this DNA you can overspray without gassing people out. It's a 5-6 hour noticeable fragrance for me, then it's a skin scent at best and need to re-apply. It performs better than LNDL though, for the price and situation I wear this in the performance doesn't bother me. I don't consider this a "date night" scent, it's not dense enough for that, it's got freshness and "airy-ness" in it from the iris and lavender which make it more day time appropriate. I use it during the day, load this stuff on for errands, spending a night at home, it's very nice to smell. Great value, happy to have this in my collection.

A clone is nothing but a look alike that lacks the spirit and personality of the original. That’s what I would say about poker face. Although it has the initial resemblance to La Nuit it lacks that magic touch that the original has. Now to be transparent La Nuit is my signature fragrance and my favorite of all time so of course I’m picky but this doesn’t reach the ethereal lavender, cardamom and bergamot freshness that La Nuit gives you immediately as soon as it dries down. Another thing that I love about the original LNDH dna is that it has this peripheral goodness that you catch as the scent goes by you that is plain delicious that this lacks. The baby powder that people accuse LNDH of having is the star of this one. I hope this review doesn’t come off as negative bc it still smells good the people around me like it and it I would say it’s 7/10 close to the original. But there’s a lot of magic required to reach that 10/10. To me this a good starter fragrance for a kid in his late teens or I would say buy it as a layering scent or an inoffensive office scent but don’t expect to feel how it felt to smell La Nuit for the first time. No reason to purchase this one if you can afford La Nuit other than the price point and the added iris note. I’ll give it a 7/10 and I’ll come back to this in a few weeks and see if anything has changed.

Some fragrances slip under the radar, dismissed by the masses before they’re ever truly understood. Poker Face by Ted Lapidus is one of them—and that’s a crime. This scent isn’t just undervalued; it’s outright misunderstood. Let’s get one thing straight: this is NOT weak, and it does NOT smell cheap. If you’ve read reviews saying otherwise, ignore them. Poker Face is smooth, warm, inviting, and—let’s be honest—downright sexy. The opening? A whisper of citrus and cardamom, setting the stage for what’s to come. But the magic happens in the dry-down—a rich, velvety blend of amber, tonka, and a suede-like leather that melts into the skin. It’s the perfect balance of sophistication and sensuality, cozy but with a smoldering edge. This isn’t a loud, in-your-face scent. It’s calculated charm—the kind of fragrance that draws people in, rather than pushing them away. It’s the well-dressed man in the corner of the room, speaking in a low voice, the one you suddenly realize you can’t stop thinking about. Performance? Far better than the naysayers claim. This sticks around, leaving a warm, intimate trail that lasts through the night. And at this price? An absolute steal. Poker Face isn’t a bluff—it’s a real deal. If you know, you know. And if you don’t? It’s time to find out.

Don't listen to anyone, please listen to me:) I know what it's like to get false reviews from people that have NO IDEA what they are talking about. This is as close as you will get to La Nuit de l'Homme It's just insane how close this is Almost identical, not the same literally in the first 30 sec, but after 30 seconds it's almost identical, To the point it's impossible to tell the difference. As we speak I have poker face on my left wrist And La Nuit de l'Homme on my right It's EXACTLY the same. It's important to me that people will buy this So it won't be discontinued, as this is shocking To me how amazing this fragrance is And how they made it just the same for that price, Absolutely incredible. Got mine in the mail today And immediately ordered 2 more bottles Since who knows when it's not gonna be available anymore. La Nuit is my number one of all time And i can't believe that I found this. It needs to be known.

If you like Iris and YSL La Nuit de L'Homme, this is for you. It's exactly that, an Iris twist to that very popular cardamom formula. The quality is very respectable for the price, not brutal but at least lasts longer than the current very diluted Nuit de L'homme formulation. This is one of those "hidden gem" kind of fragrances IMO, given the inexpensive price and cheap box/bottle; Also this scent and name are something I'd expect from Dior, YSL or D&G, it's unlike Ted Lapidus usual releases. Good for night outs, dates, indoor dinners and that kind of deals, not so much for daytime, office, summer, outdoors. The iris note makes it slightly more mature than LNDLH so I don't recommend it for teenagers but everyone else should be able to wear it, just dress it up a little bit.

Almost been a month since I bought and reviewed it. Man I love this one now, it’s a less spicy LNDH with a nice and subtle iris note. The lavender isn’t overwhelming and the cardamom is barely there but not needed. I’ve said it smells like a more floral rough draft of LNDH but it stands on its own as a great fragrance not a dupe. First thing I thought of when spraying it today is that this smells like fresh blueberries and lavender. It’s severly smooth and pleasant you won’t smell all the notes but you won’t be thinking about that when you have this on. I gave my first bottle away but I bought another one. Can’t beat $25 for a 100ml of a great fragrance that punches above its weight. Just get it and try it you won’t regret it 8.5/10

If you like YSL La Nuit De L'homme (LNDL), it is NEARLY IDENTICAL Denser version of LNDL and it performs a tinge longer and louder than the original. Alluring, sexy, mysterious just like the original but it lasts longer. Cheap bottle, cheap atomizer, but for $30 on amazon this juice is a no brainer for anyone who likes this dna. Price: 10/10 Longevity: 7/10 (About 7-8 hours) (My LNDL gets 4-5) Projeciton: 6/10 (not loud at all but i mean who cares thats not the point of LNDL lol) Scent: 10/10 (i love this juice) If you still don't think the perfomance is great just drench yourself in this juice lol it's cheap af it doesn't matter (contrary to LNDL)

I remember seeing YouTube videos on this since last year. And I never got it due to the videos being from a couple years back and it having mixed reviews so I never bothered buying it since it might have been outdated at the time. Fast forward to a week ago and I should've bought this earlier. It smells amazing.. the cardamom and the iris smell beautiful on this. The price was good too. The bottle itself is cheap and the atomizer is weak. But the juice inside is what matters. I get good longevity from this. I already had Alexandria's clone which projects more. But for the money i can get two or three of these instead.

This is an amazing deal! Poker Face smells expensive. This is beautiful and sophisticated. Has many of the same notes as La Nuit De L'Homme L'Intense, but the performance is excellent! On my skin, this starts off with a mellow herbal, green vibe, but after 10-15 minutes the iris and cardamom settle in. In the dry down, I get vanilla, iris, and cedar. I wore this the day I got it and longevity was nil. Once I introduce some oxygen into the bottle, and let it macerate for a few weeks, the longevity and sillage are excellent. I wore this to work and it stayed strong for over 7 Hrs. Definitely blind buy worthy.

Acceptable for the price but performances are poor. I barely get 4 hours out of this with a medium projection at best. An evening fragrance that doesn't even last for the full evening is sadly not that useful in my opinion. I recommend saving the money to buy La Nuit de L'Homme Bleu Électrique instead for double the longevity, or its clone Al Nashama Caprice by Lattafa if you're on a budget. I get 8+ hours from those and they are a proper fragrance that can last an entire day in the office or an entire night out. Poker Face by comparison is an ephemeral waste of money.

Absolutely love this one. GREAT value for the money. Almost identical to YSL La nuit de l'homme, with a touch of iris as has been commented below. I would say it's slightly less smooth and warm, and perhaps a bit more floral with a tiny herbal undertone compared to its inspiration. But they are very similar. I experience better projection with this one than La Nuit, albeit I've only tried the newer version. Based purely on the scent, I would probably pick La nuit over this one by a thin margin, but I'd be very happy with either.

tested it yesterday and its the literally ysl la nuit de lhomme with some sage. i was kinda getting banana smell but it was only for 15 minutes and i could notice it only on close skin in the air i didnt notice it. my mother noticed that smell and i was comparing the two at that moment so i checked what she liked the most and she said that the ysl is alot less stronger then the poker face. in conclusion im gonna buy 2 bottles lol

Opening is similar as Montblanc legend night and then dry down smells really similar to yves saint laurant la nuit de l'homme but way thicker, richer and stronger version. also budget friendly compare to La Nuit de l'Homme. if you're not satisfied performance and longevity of La Nuit de l'Homme? go for this. This dry down smells really identical and last longer than La Nuit de l'Homme

IMO Poker Face is so much better than LNDH. Smells better with the added note of lavender that makes it more aromatic, it lasts longer and irradiates much more. Such a delicious scent for only CAD$40 on Amazon. There is no reason to spend CAD $160 in LNDH when you can get this for such ridiculous price. Just get it now.

You know you're on top of the game when you put this on. Perhaps a modern sweet version of Lapidus Pour Homme, keeping the honey (not listed though) and lavender blend, and here with a hint of genius mint as well. This is so good it's even sold out. Checkmate. It will be a classic for sure.

This is really way too good, love this one. Just recieved YSL La nuit de l'homme Blue electrique and because I got a bit used to the Iris in Poker face, I actually really miss that note in the YSL and think it's disappointing. This fragrance is a 10/10 for me, especially for the price!

Smells almost exactly like La Nuit de l'Homme, and lasts around the same time. I would say this is less warm, and more floral than the YSL but the differences are minimal. Very good for the price, giving to a friend who wants the OG, and I would recommend to anyone over the OG as well.

I personally love this. Layering it on top of unscented moisturiser definitely makes a difference with it. Plus don't be afraid to give it a few more sprays than usual. Spicy and lipstickish. Pretty good for the price! It's definitely a lot smoother as it ages.

It's good but no where near as good as the real thing. Something about the original just works where this doesn't. If you plan on using as a daily wear then it's a good price saving otherwise the original is definitely the better scent by some way.

I love this fragrance so much. It's a go-to favorite. Anyone else notice a top note of cinnamon pumpkin (along with the other notes)? In the best way possible. Just curious if others find that note as well.

A quite sweet, woody, fresh but cozy, warm fragrance. I find it unisex because of its sweetness. longtivity and projection are good above average. I'm a woman but i love this fragrance it's that good.

Yes! It is close to LNDL, a good clone but it is an intimate scent anyway so don't expect a loud good performance because it is not. But as for the price, buy it and you will never regret it.

This perfume should be on your collection, so cheap, so elegant, good quality and no one knows about it....also it’s easy to wear any time anywhere, love it ..& btw it’s almost 80% LNDH

This is a very good fragrance especially for the price but the opening is trash. Get past the first 15 minutes and it’s amazing but don’t judge it based on the opening

What a gem. Absolutely gorgeous. No one catches the honey scent? I wouldn't even compare it with La Nuit lavender field. Poker Face, even the name is a knockout.

Just used again today after sometime and it reminds me much more to Dior Homme Parfum 2025 than to La Nuit de L'Homme, anyway very good fragrance for the price.

This smells so much like La Nuit De L'Homme L'Intense that I had to layer both, and it is heavenly.

Gets even better with age and matches leather too.

In August 2018 was released, in the international market, the perfume called Poker Face, from the brand Ted Lapidus. Before this, the latest men's fragrances were part of the Lapidus Pour Homme line and both were launched in 2015 (Gold and Sport versions). Poker Face was created under the theme of the poker game universe, considered the most popular card game in the world, which consists of a series of rules and bets, over which the attitude of the players has immense influence, mainly the art of the bluff. The fragrance was built to convey a mix of attitude and coolness, which should be present in this typically masculine scenario. For this, balanced flower notes were combined with spices and woods, resulting in a floral-aromatic of woody facets. In the output, bergamot, mint, lavender and violet leaves; In the body, iris, cardamom, and pepper; In the base, cedar, patchouli, and tonka bean. Nothing very exotic, nor biased towards what was succeeding in the market, like leather, oud, etc. When sprayed on the skin, the fragrance looks different from what its olfactory pyramid says, as the body notes - especially iris and cardamom - arrive before the top notes. By the way, if you test on the blotter, instead of testing on the skin, you will think that it has leather at first, because of the mixture of these two notes above. From this point on comes lavender, violet leaves, and spearmint. I confess that the latter was not necessary for a fragrance with such a nice iris. I have the sensation of trying a perfume of much more added value and suddenly come across a sweet mint liqueur over violets. It is the phase I least like in its evolution. Luckily, time passes and the iris continues (albeit softer) through the stages until it meets the creaminess of the tonka bean. Then, woody facets emerge and remain for hours on end. Poker Face seems simple, but for those who are fan (or not) and know the style of fragrances of the brand, it is clear the great work done between concept and final product, because we come out of a universe that always shocks, with strong and invasive perfumes, and move towards another making a “poker face” and showing high elegance through a medium-projection scent, but with incredible durability. The bottle leaves something to be desired, bringing a simple and retro style. But the fragrance pays off when you think about Ted Lapidus's work, the contradictory opinions of consumers over the years, and the excellent cost-effectiveness of their perfumes. Poker Face looks like this: attitude, bluff and the most Prada among the Ted Lapidus. Want to bet?

Just got this in and been testing for a few days. On first impression comparing to my bottle of YSL La Nuit De L'Homme Bleu Electrique bottle and a sample YSL La Nuit De L'Homme. On opening it is very similar to that of YSL La Nuit De L'Homme throughout maybe missing a bit of that smoothnesss that makes it seductive but for the same reason this projects a lot stronger however I get similar performace. In comparison to Bleu Electrique it is similar ( as is YSL La Nuit De L'Homme) but it likewise is missing that modernised blue touch that makes BE a solid fragrance... it also pales in comparison to Bleu Electriques performance Overall this is an amazing cheapie and I will be using this a lot more instead of burning through my Bleu Electrique bottle. 8/10 initial rating

This is an under the radar gem. This is 90% YSL LNDL and 10% Armani Code Parfum. Poker Face has better projection than LNDL but smells more synthetic than LNDL. It doesn't reach the ethereal beauty of LNDL, but it gets close. The iris note makes Poker Face more complex and interesting. Let's face it. The iris note in men's perfumery can be a problem. Too much iris, and you smell like lipstick, and that is NOT masculine. The iris note does not stick out in Poker Face. Prices are going up on Ebay, but it's still a good deal if you like the LNDL DNA.

Soft, gentleman vibes. Sensual. Date night material. This is a strong like for me. I agree that there is a powdery grape vibe about this one, and I enjoy it very much. Seems to stay fairly close to the skin and doesn't last terribly long but is quite pleasant while it does. Not as close to LNDH as some are insisting, but I can definitely see them hanging out on weekends. If you like iris scents and the LNDH feel, this is worth checking out for sure. It blows me away at under $30 USD on Amazon right now. Beautiful scent. Recommended.

This is a more refined Halloween Man Shot which is also a cheapie. This smells much better than the price suggests. This smells nothing like YSL La Nuit de l'Homme to me which is the main reason I bought Poker Face. Even if it smells nothing like the YSL offering, it still smells awesome and I'm glad I bought it. This is actually kind of strong so I don't know why anyone is complaining about the sillage or longevity. If it's not lasting on the skin, try spraying on clothing, which lasts a while and has decent projection.

fantastic scent with good performance, very reminiscent of la nuit de l'homme with an added iris note, in my experience it lasts around 5-6 hours and it projects nicely for the first 2 hours or so. other things to note, it does not smell like it's price tag, this is a quality fragrance and it happens to also be affordable, its also just a shame that its quite under the radar as it deserves more attention for how great it is.. all things considered this is one of the BEST cheapies I have ever purchased!

A great clone of la nuit de lHomme. the performance is similar to the original or a little better . The price is cheap and the quality is great, in addition to that it is close enough to justify buying it over the original. Scent:8.5 Projection/Longevity:6.5 Uniqueness:5 quality:7.5 Value for money:ok Overall:7 similarity to the original:90%

A magnificent blend of Iris, lavender, spices and Tonka bean.. The sweetness blends beautifully with the floral notes especially in the dry down and the iris adds a luxurious slightly soapy elegance.. A must buy

Just tried it and although it resembles YSL La Nuit de l'homme it's definitely not the same and not a clone. It's nice and very spicy. my rating is 7.5/10

Sweet, lipstick, smooth, fresh and sexy.

I do like the Iris, I love the DNA, however the longevity and sillage is poopoo. I have LNDL, Al Nashama Caprice, Jack of Clubs, and this. Trying to get the better LNDL scent with better projection and longevity, Poker Face is at the bottom. When you spray it, you can see it sit on the skin, and then almost evaporate, it leaves a not so apparent glimmer on the skin. The others I mentioned leave a shine that stays, while I think Al Nashama Caprice has the best longevity and in it's oil concentration - seems to last longer at 7-9 hours on the skin. I am now just spraying this all crazy just to be over with the bottle haha.

Lo compré pensando en tener una alternativa a LNDH para uso diario siguiendo algunas de las opiniones. Tengo La Nuit y la verdad no sólo lo siento un tanto diferente, sino que además dura un suspiro. A diferencia de este, tiene una nota de iris que siento que lo hace un poco más unisex. No se percibe barato, creo que por el precio está bien en cuanto a aroma, pero su performance es malísima. La verdad, no lo recomiendo para nada. LNDH me dura mucho más, y le da mil vueltas en calidad.

Very samey to so many others of it's ilk, warm but without much power, kick or sillage. I have Roberto Cavalli Uomo which is a fuller, more rounded scent. Poker Face is as cheap as chips, but disappears so quickly, or maybe I am immediately nose-blind to it. Either way it becomes an immediate ghost scent for me.

It really is just like La Nuit de l'Homme, albeit with 1/50th of the projection. I recommend 50 sprays to body and clothing - people will believe you were wearing YSL two days ago!

Lo compre pensando un reemplazo de la nuit de l'homme. Experiencia horrible, el aroma me provocó inmediato rechazo y dolor de cabeza. Lo regale en el acto.

The Context: My two signature scents are La Nuit de L'homme and TF's Noir Extreme. Those also are the two scents my wife loves on me the most. The MO: I buy scents that I think smell good, but I also want to smell nice around others, ESPECIALLY my wife. Therefore, I look for fragrances that: a) I enjoy, and b) will ensure my wife draws closer to me. Niche fragrances that smell of gasoline, dill, patchouli, and leather don't exactly cut it. The Why of Poker Face: I love to hunt for dupes or fragrances that smell similar to my favorites, and since I read that Poker Face is a "clone" of LNDLH I had to try it. The Result: I got this for under $25 when it was easily available, and for that price it's a fantastic bargain. It doesn't smell cheap at all. Does it replace LNDLH? No. It doesn't have quite the sexiness or wow factor. On first sniff, the opening is a little worrisome, but give it 15-20 minutes and that's when this starts to develop. Though not a replacement, does it give me LNDLH vibes? Sure. The drydown is fantastic and somewhat similar. This is an extremely easy go-to office fragrance in the cooler weather. It's warm and rich and won't offend anybody. Longevity is fine for me. I get an easy 8 hours out of this. For me, moisturizing and hydration is key. I wear unscented lotion after the shower (and put a little vasoline where I'm going to apply), and I drink at least a gallon of water a day. That seems to do the trick for most of my fragrances. The Upshot: If you can find this for under $40 (it appears to finally be coming back into stock) and you like anything with "La Nuit Vibes" then jump on this. Don't expect it to replace one of the all-time Cologne Classics; just enjoy it for what it is. Remember friends... looking good isn't always a choice; smelling good is.

I have a card here with Poker Face on it, and another one with Uomo Salvatore Ferragamo Signature, and I can barely tell the difference. There is one, but it's very hard to pin down exactly what it is. These are not identical, but they're definitely interchangeable. They both have citrus at the top, cardamom in the middle, and tonka bean and patchouli in the base. PF is classified as woody spice, USFS is classified as a leather, but both are soft, sweet scents. Another fragrance in this archipelago is Halloween Man X. There are slight differences between them, but these three are relatively close together on the fragrance map. I don't like the purple, powdery grape (iris & violet) character of Poker Face. It feels anemic, like it's all treble with no bass, there's no bottom end to contrast against this soft wall of watery sweetness. All three of the above fragrances become more interesting when layered with a dark undercarriage like Krizia Uomo.

One of the biggest disappointments in a LNDL clone fragrance I've tried. Overhyped on Youtube, so I picked it up and tried it. Somewhat similar to LNDL but sweeter. Overall very light and average performance, we're talking under four hours on me. The sweetness reminds me of Ferragamo Uomo Signature, mixed with the cardamom of LNDL, with half the longevity, if that. Don't spend a penny over $25. Give it a try if you don't believe me, but don't blame me if you're disappointed. I told you. If you really want a $20 fragrance that smells more like LNDL, try Guess Seductive Homme Blue. You'll also need to overspray it. Update: Reading all the comments, people are saying this is so amazing. Makes me wonder if I got a weak batch. I'd be willing to try another bottle, wait a while for it to mature, and see if a different environment and time would change my mind. I want to experience the love for this.

Wonderful, classy, warm scent best for the colder months. The iris and Tonka are definitely the most prominent notes in my opinion. Have to agree with one of the other reviews in that it is quite a discreet scent. If you like YSL La Nuit de L'Homme, poker face is you, especially given it’s half the price. Definitely smells more expensive than the price suggests. This was a blind buy and quite happy with the purchase. Only draw back is the silage, whilst can be long lasting it becomes a skin scent within the hour on me. Perhaps my skin is a fragrance eating monster. Scent 7.5 Longevity 7 (detectable 7-8 hours later, although it does become a scent after about an hour) Silage 4.5 (very discreet. Best for close encounters) Value 8 (paid $29 aud)

I am not kidding you but this is an insane perfume. Long lasting, great projection and great price point. In my opinion, this is BETTER than LNDL in terms of longevity and projection. The only downside is the bottle quality&atomizer but hey who cares? I‘m blown away by this and I hope that this will NEVER get discontinued because this fragrance is SEXY. I sprayed this on my leather jacket and I can still smell it DAYS after. Perfect date night fragrance. This one is for the handsome guy who‘s smart, a little mysterious, and takes care of himself. Do you remember the dude in the Tron Legacy movie who‘s handsome and drives a motor bike late at night? This would definitely be his signature fragrance. Scent: 9/10 Performance: 8/10
