La Nuit de L'Homme Eau de Parfum

There are very few fragrances that are as daring and have an opening as bombastic as this. As an intermediate level fragrance collector, I own, have owned and smelled an obscene amount of fragrances and it is very rarely that I am caught off-guard by a fragrance, especially one of designer sensibilities. Any fragrance connoisseur knows the original La Nuit - this flanker is a bold and daring departure from that legendary DNA to darker and more adventurous territory and let us unpack it very briefly: This is a dense and enveloping fragrance loaded to the rafters with cardamom, leather and Tonka to create an aura of fire around any so daring as to wear the scent. The opening is loud, sweet and truly dense on first application. It quickly becomes apparent that this scent is something of a monster and addresses the very well documented performance issues of the OG La Nuit while striking harmony between the core elements of the original and evolving the scent with the inclusion of the leather and Tonka. This EDP does come across more masculine and is a dangerous item to have in one’s arsenal on colder days and those evening excursions. From the onset, all of the new accords are on full display and they gradually make their way to the front as the freshness at top subsides. After which, the leather and Tonka become the most prominent and these are accompanied by a slight powdery texture, while the famed cardamom retreats to a supporting background role on this iteration as opposed to being the protagonist like on the original. The scent opens warm, rich, sweet and very sensual with a quick bite from the grapefruit, which quickly retreats, with a dash of powdery dustiness from the lavender herein. This phase of the fragrance is very short-lived, which makes this version come across as less fresh, at least, when compared with the original. Once the stars of the show, the leather and the Tonka, take center stage, the fragrance becomes smoother and even more elegant with the emergence of the sandalwood which polishes the scent slightly while mixing in a slight woody element. When comparing the two, the EDT is more attention grabbing and may be favored more by the general public but I favour this EDP a bit more as it feels more creative and a step away from some of the traditional leanings of mainstream fragrances, making it slightly more unique while still keeping some of the designer mass-appeal. Naturally, this will be a cold weather and night-time scent as I suspect it may grow slightly cloying in high-heat situations. As earlier indicated, the fragrance does perform very well – Lasting cleanly through entire work days with a few feet of projection around the first two hours of application and gradually growing closer and eventually resting as a skin scent which you won’t have to work very hard to locate at the end of your day. Overall, here is my rating: Scent: 8/10 Pricing: 7/10 Versatility: 7/10 Longevity: 8/10 Projection: 8/10

Yeah bleu electric smells a tad better, but blue electric is so weak, I bought a bottle of this and blue electric today, tested them and blue electric is so faint after 5mins and sits really close to the skin and in 30mins is a skin scent and gone after an hour and a half, really disappointed with that one. I'll do a full review on this soon, but this is stronger than both the Blue EDT Intense and the EDT, lasts and projects more, in the average range but still better than both. I find the standard EDT performs better than the Blue electric and my girlfriend thinks so too. Don't waste your money on any of the YSL men's range, they're all so damn weak it is basically a rip off/ scam to even sell them to the public. The only one I would recommend is this one, the EDP, it performs about the same as D&G The One EDP, so it's still a low performer but, it at least still somewhat performs

I got a 06/2020 batch and I can't believe what a beast this juice is. Why the bad ratings?! This has such an amazing opening, it's so unique, and the performance is out of this world! I get compliments for this every time I wear it. I also think this easily is wearable in the spring time, since it has such a clean feel to it, although it's an intense fragrance. I will definitely rock this one in spring and summer at night at least 3 to 4 times a month for sure! Scent: 10/10 Uniqueness: 10/10 (yes) Performance: 10/10 (oh yes!) Price/Value: 10/10 (got 100 ml for 52€ ) I can't see anyone who tried a few fragrances in his life giving this a bad rating considering all the points I mentioned above. It's a perfect fragrance for the money. Cheers!

Just ordered this from Jomashop, looking forward to it. I've sampled the original and own 2 bottles of Bleu Electrique. I also like having a couple discontinued fragrances. The whole line is right up my ally so I have high expectations. I only have the aforementioned LNDL, but this is similar but more woody and definitely more zesty with a citrus note. To me this is a little less powdery and a welcome difference. I never got the original because it's easy to come by and more basic compared to flankers. The og is great but I can pick that up pretty much anytime and anywhere. I may get second bottle of this too. I've also slowed down on adding to my collection, so I'm trying to be much more picky about what I buy these days.

Originally I gave this fragrance a very bad score and review. But on further where's I've decided that this fragrance is actually really nice if you know what you should be looking for ahead of time. The opening is okay, but then it quickly dries down into a leather Tonka combination that smells very delicious. The longevity it is average I suppose. What I like about this fragrances that it is pretty unique. I've collected some other fragrances from this line oh, but so far this one is the best. Sometimes I like combining it with the l e parfum, for the leather and vetiver smoke combo, that's out of this world! So yes, I have changed my mind about this fragrance,
