La Nuit de L'Homme Eau Électrique

I wanted to add some more notes on this fragrance since I have had more time with it in the last few weeks. When I received it, I wasn't overly impressed: it didn't really work in the early cooler spring days, but since the summer heat has arrived I have grown to absolutely adore this fragrance. A bright opening, with a bit of bright citrus detected, the apple is very obvious is definitely the main character along with lavender. In theme drydown it gets quite sweet with vanilla and tonka and some depth coming from the cashmere and cedar. It is a lot sweeter and projects extremely well in warm weather, it's a much more muted composition in the cold. This is definitely a more summer friendly LNDH release, I think it it works better in the heat than Frozen Cologne did, and I also prefer the scent profile of this to FC. I can definitely see why some people would compare this to Eros, the balance of sweet and citrus, but I wouldn't think this was an Eros flanker if someone gave me a spray from a blank bottle. It smells less like something for the Eros line than Valentino BIR Yellow Dream does to me, and I don't see anyone comparing YD to Eros. I think the Eros comparisons are just a product of the time when this was released and everyone had Eros fever. This is a great Spring Summer release, and I got it so cheap that I don't need to be concerned with running the bottle dry. I would definitely consider buying another once this is gone if the price is right. I'd give this a solid 8.5/10

At first I thought I hated it. I usually do not like Apple in top notes. (It's a cheap inexpensive and often synthetic top note.) But I stuck with it. And throughout the day i began to enjoy it. There is something more happening here than just the cheap simple apple note. And I don't hate the apple and actually enjoyed the rest of the fragrance. Maybe it is the other notes that kept coming back to visit me the rest of the day. I wouldn't say it's exceptionally long lasting, but it does stay with you. It's sort of like a teenager. Google "Nick D’Aloisio". When you meet him you think "who is this teenager? Oh well he's cute, but he's so young. He probably just plays videos games or goes to the movies. Maybe one day he'll attend college." Uhm, no girl, Nick D’Aloisio designed, deployed, and sold an app for smartphones. Today that 18 year-old is worth half a billion dollars. So that's what this fragrance reminds me of. It's more than meets the eye. But at the same time and at the end of the day, it is still a teenage boy having wet dreams. This fragrance is Nick D’Aloisio.

Before the review a few notes 1) I'm a big fan of YSL despite their inherent lack of silage and longevity. 2) I had to make a blind buy because I couldn't find it at a retailer near me. 3) I appreciate the helpful reviews in deciding to purchase or not. My honest review after about a week of wearing this is this is a definite success. I really was expecting something fresher and lighter based on the profile of the notes but what I got is more sweet and gourmand nothing to me like Eros but more like Armani Code profumo. The performance, oddly, is all over the place for me. One wearing I could still smell it after 14 hours and another it was gone completely in under 2 but I'd say average is 4-6 with a soft silage. Also, for what it's worth, this is nothing like Ultime. I have gotten some nice compliments and zero negative feedback. Personally I really like the way it smells and for my chemistry it works well. Definitely not ground breaking but that is not really necessary for it to smell good.

Just received a 100ml bottle in the mail today, at a HUGE discount. It was not at all what I was expecting. I can see why some might make comparisons to Eros, although it is a very light juice, and it smells more like a l'Homme flanker than a La Nuit de l'Homme flanker. A very different opening, the apple is very obvious in the opening and is the main thing I can smell with the lavender and geranium playing the supporting role. I don't really detect many other notes, maybe some cashmere, cedar, and light Tonka. It's definitely not what I would classify as a sweet scent, even though I have seen many people saying it is. It definitely smells like it's in the l'Homme family, maybe too bright to be a LNDH release. It's a very pleasant fragrance and I could see it being great in the day. I will write a longer review after I have some more time with it.

Fresh, minty opening. It is also a bit spicy. Sometimes It can be a little bit sharp at this stage (It depends how my nose feels in that moment), but that it's just for the first minutes, and for me that's ok. The nice thing about this is that, when it starts setting down, you get those brush strokes of La Nuit combined with this fresh / bold aura. Then it surrounds you with a really delicate sweetness in the dry down, which It is my favorite part. I must admit that at the store, at first try, I wasn't sure about purchasing this, because of course it reminds me immediately of other perfumes that I already own, but after wearing it for a while, I have come to the idea that it brings its own thing to the table. In my opinion a very nice fragrance. Very pleasant to wear. It last long on my skin and it has a very nice sillage. I am happy with this.

After a quite piercing and synthetic opening, which fortunately lasts just about 10 minutes, this fragrance evolves into a comforting and classy scent, similar to La Nuit de L'homme but sweeter and more aromatic. An adjective I would use for it is "magnetic". It smells to me like a charismatic man, confident, calm. I think this is perfect for the office and for a 25 to 40 year old man. However, you can wear it also when you go out at night and dress nicely. Longevity is good on my skin (6-7 hours), projection is not loud but not weak either (it still projects quietly from my neck after 4 hours). I don't understand people who want to use it as a club scent, nor I understand the comparison with Eros (uh??). Overall a great scent, plus my gf loves it.

@jpon91 I agree with the Armani Code Profumo comparison, thank you for pointing that out! Tested the two side by side and can say you’re spot on with Électrique being a perfect cross between Eros & Code Profumo. This is wonderful, overlooked, and underrated in my opinion. I love the classic La Nuit, so I understand it being difficult to accept this as a flanker given it’s not the most original or groundbreaking release. That being noted, it’s still lovely and quite enjoyable. Longevity: 7-8 hours Sillage: 1-2 feet for the first 2 hours. Seasons: Fall, Winter, Spring evenings Occasions: Night out, semi-formal... could work in certain formal settings. Not a bad choice for intimate occasions either. Overall: 7/10

I really like this stuff. It may not be anything new, but it does go in its own direction. Unless you are expecting some sort of masterpiece, I don't know how anyone can dislike this. Overall I think this is great. It does smell similar to Eros when you smell it by itself, but when you compare them side by side they smell different. Eau Electrique is a more warm, refined version of Eros. Eros is more attention grabbing and Eau Electrique is more seductive. I personally don't have any performance issues with this. It's not as loud as Eros but that seems to be by design as it is loud enough to be noticed and it lasts the entire night.

This is actually very nice. I'm sure much of the hate is from those disillusioned with La Nuit in general. This does smell similar to Versace Eros, but it's not quite as loud, but I would say it's more refined & a more mature version. It's thicker & creamier. The Apple is prominent, but the top has a surprising but intoxicatingly "creamy berries" type smell on top. Think dark raspberry or blackberry. Vanilla & Tonka are prominent but also subdued. Performance is very good - projection is quite good, longevity is quite good. Get a hold of this one before it's reformulated or pulled off the market.

This scent is really really good!perfect for spring or even a less hot summer day. Maybe 50 - 60 degree weather (that's fahrenheit ) Its fresh, its spicy and its sweet, not too sweet and is very easy to like. I do wish it lasted a bit longer since its a bit pricey, but i dont regret getting it. Just apply a little more than what you usually do, DONT RUB IT IN YOUR ARMS OR ANY PART OF YOUR BODY! SPRAY AND LET IT SIT TILL It DRIES, and you can get it to last waaay longer. Longevity 8.2/10 Silage 7/10 Projection 9.2/10 Performance 9.6/10 Price 6.3/10 Overall 40.3 Grade - S

Again and again why this one gets all this hate? I dont understand it. Those who compare it to Eros are unfair. We all do have different levels in sensing things. They smell the mint which leads them to Eros. But the mint in this one is of a higher class for sure. To be honest I got the smell of the original la nuit in my first spray and later I smelled the mint but the blend is well made up to perfection. I love it. I will pick this one over Eros anytime. It performs very well and stays close to the skin for hours. The mint open your sinuses and makes you relax.

This is one of my top frags. I have never tried Bleu Électrique which everyone often says is the best LNDL flanker but if that smells even better than this, then I understand the hype. This stuff actually smells similar to the OG but has a bit more sweetness and lasts longer so it's all wins in my book considering how good the original LNDL smells. The only reason I don't wear this as often as I want to is because a replacement bottle would cost more than 3 times what I originally paid for it which is a tough pill to swallow.

Geranium can be confused for mint but here it is sharper, crisper. Some say this reminds them of Eros and others say it has Y EDP vibes. It may be a combo of the two with a hint of LNDL thrown in. This is nice but could have been great. All they had to do was keep the cardamom and you'd have a warmer LNDL with a sweeter more deductive vanilla/tonka base in lieu of the dominant lavender of the OG. This does project better than the OG and last 6 hours so that is a plus. Would have been nice if they kept the cardamom though

This is a great scent. I find it much more intriguing than the original version LNDH, it is sweet, sexy, alluring and not synthetic at all, I really don't understand all this hate on this fragrance. To me it is better than Versace Eros, long lasting, dark and really electric. I received a lot of compliments wearing Eau Electrique and it is one of my favourites for clubbing and dating scents. Honestly I stopped worrying what people's saying about it...Indeed not a common scent, great release from YSL

It is an excellent, excellent, excellent fragrance! I'm pleased that I got it. It was a solid performance for me. Excellent longevity. But I went too far and bought too many backup bottles. So I have a few brand new 60ml bottles for sale - one of the best prices. I'm from Europe so I can sending it to the Europe and Japan. If you have an interest please send me a personal message.

This smells like Eros EDT mixed with La Nuit de l'Homme Frozen Cologne, does not smell just like Eros (does not have mint), or just like Frozen Cologne, the mixture is really good and the Geranium pops a lot behind that Green apple. A really nice flanker for daily use, it does smell sexy, has the same performance of the line, so keep this for close encounters.

I thought this was supposed to be a summer fragrance by the note breakdown but to my noes it is not. It is a fresher woodier spicy Version of the original in my opinion. As it dries down to me almost smells just like the original. The top is much more fresh than the original. A bit disappointed as I expected something different. But still like it ok.

Eager to try this one out. The bottle looks beautiful,like deep ocean and smth electric as the name says itself, quite masculine. Hope it will be a well blended touch of freshness and sweetness cause i like the notes, but mostly, hope they will correct sillage and longevity. The "old" La Nuit would be ashamed if not so !

This is a nice fragrance. This is for any age. Occasions, date night/dinner & a movie/close encounter fragrance. Longevity 5-6 hrs, heavy spray 6-8 Projection 2-2.5 hours, sits close, creating a scent bubble. Edit: Pretty much what you’d expect from the L’ Homme line. Not their best but definitely not their worst. 7/10

Honestly I am a huge fan of the opening and quality of the scent. It’s definitely different from Versace eros but falls into the same category of fragrances. Longevity is also better than other flankers of LNDT. I would give a big thumbs up to buy them before it’s disappeared forever.
