La Nuit de l'Homme Frozen Cologne

Amazing amazing fragrance. It baffles me how close this is to the OG (pre-2013 formulation), without having many similar notes. It is the opening where they are different though. Frozen Cologne is, what the name suggest, much fresher than LNDL in the opening. However, after around 2 hours in, they are hard to distinguish. The biggest difference in this one is the geranium, which makes it more fresh and sparkly than LNDL. There is no cardamom listed, but you do get the cardamom vibe, which is very interesting. It might be the combination of black pepper and tonka bean. I cannot say this is an alternative for the vintage LNDL, but I do think it is much better than the sweet, mediocre performing 2015-2021 LNDL. Frozen Cologne still has the strong spices, that make any girl/woman drool. The performance is also great. It is just a bit less than my 2013 LNDL, which has 10+ hours longevity, with two to three hours strong projection and another three hours average projection. If you (are able to find and) cannot decide to pay €250+/60ml for a vintage bottle or €100/100ml Frozen Cologne. Get Frozen Cologne. You will get so much more value for your money. You will get a scent 80-90% similar to the vintage, but you will get the vintage spiciness, which beats the sweet scent of the newer formulations. If you want a MUCH cheaper alternative, within the sameball park as the older batches of LNDL, get Trussardi Riflesso. This is a cheap (low cost), high quality, less spicy/more warm, fragrance with very good performance. Scent: 9.5/10 Projection: 9/10 (First 2 hours strong, then 3 hours average) Sillage: 9/10 Longevity: 9/10 (9h+ on skin) Versatility 8/10 (More versatile than the original) Uniqueness: 9/10 Total: 9 I am very lucky to have found a bottle, together with a bottle of the OG from a 2013 batch. I have had both bottles for around 3 years now and wore them two times each. I am too afraid to run out of these divine fragrances.

I am waiting in San Francisco International Airport right now, and one of the big shop carries it. I think the shop is called Gallery or something. The shop only carried 1 size, and they said they just recently put it on the shelf. It was either 60ml or 100ml. I am not sure because I didn't look at the label on the bottom. It is definitely bigger than 50ml, but the bottle is slightly smaller than other 100ml L'Homme bottles. I searched online, and I could only find 60ml being sold in UK. That's why I thought it could be a 60ml. They are selling it at the shop for $61 USD plus tax. (Rather cheap if it was 100ml) It smells really good, and it reminds me of a type of candy (not a bad thing IMO). The combination of pepper and citrus here is reallllllly good. (or it could be the flowers that I am smelling, not the citrus. I don't have an awesome nose, but I know it smells great) I have the original L'Homme and it is one of my favorite. I don't like the Libre or the La Nuit De L'homme, but I am pretty sure I will buy this one too. I was very close to getting it at the shop, but then I thought I could probably find one cheaper online. I cannot comment on the longevity or projection, since I only smelled it on a test strip. However, I took the strip with me over an hour ago, and it still smells the same. I think it is too elegant to wear it during the day, so I'd say this is a night fragrance. I don't know how good is the projection, so I can't say if it is good for summer or winter. As I think for winter fragrances, it requires a stronger projection to achieve the same effect. I have over 20 colonge. Scent wise, this is definitely my top 5. My other top choices are: D&G The one, YSL L'Homme, Dior Homme (EDP or EDT), L'Instant De Guerlain Pour Homme.

Seductive but fresh.. This is a fresh take on one of the most praised fragrances out there. I used to own a lndl 2013 batch and loved it for the performance and the blast of cardamom. Frozen cologne reminds me of this and even if they don't list cardamom the smell in the drydown is very close. It start very fresh and it has an icy effect, maybe from the geranium, but as we go to the drydown it becomes a 2013 version of the original. Performance is mind blowing for a cologne, 10+ hours longevity on my skin with very good projection. It performs way better than the current versions of the original and a bit better than the 2013 batch i owned (my frozen cologne is from 2012). It's more versatile than the original because of the fresh opening, it can be an office scent but it still has the sexy, seductive cardamom for dates. I will wear it all year round and it will survive the cold because it has this amazing performance. Overall, i am really impressed! I never encountered a cologne that performs that well, i like the fresh aspect, i find more interesting and complicated than the original. Unfortunately, this is discontinued and really hard to find but if you can still find it and you like lndl, give this a try!

The best flanker of La Nuit de l'Homme. Bleu Electrique isn't bad either, the others are rubbish that can't compete with the original. This is simply the freshest version of the nocturnal progenitor; as soon as you spray it, you can feel the magic that characterizes its historic DNA. It's good, really good. If you like La Nuit de l'Homme but want a coherent, fresher, and more casual version, I recommend getting this. The performance is average in terms of longevity and projection. It's a shame it's discontinued. Il miglior flanker de la nuit de l'homme per coerenza e utilità. È la versione più fresca dell' originale. Lo ricorda molto, sentirete la magia dell' originale, per poi ammorbidirsi un po'. Mi piace molto. È una vergogna che questo e bleu electrique non ci sono più. Scent-8,5 Longevity - 7,5 Sillage-7,5 Versatility-8,5 Presentation-7 Compliment factor-8 Uniqueness-7,5 Backup bottle? Yes My vote- 8,5 In one word- consinstency Alternative - the og or bleu electrique

Forget the ingrediants, forget the advertising, this fragrance takes time to corrctly unlock, about half an hour in truth, then magic prevails for several hours before a sanity returns that lasts twice as long again. This has to be the fragrance of a Time Lord, the initial aroma was heavy on the geranium and blasted me with the present, but once the scent began to unlock I felt as though i had been transferred to a distant past, a wooded mountainous space where spices, fruits, moss, and other natural delights might abound. Also noted was a distinct musky mark that I percieved as being the smell of primitive man, something that might usually put me off but here seated itself well. After several hours the fragrance returns to the present, with a soft fruity and vetiver aroma. Designing this for Summer is interesting, I would have thought that dark winter nights was far better, but I'm going to try it throughout.

Just received my Frozen Cologne and it really is breathtakingly gorgeous. The similarities between the original La Nuit Edt are apparent but the EDC happens to turn down the sweetness, replace the lavender with a lovely geranium note, and improve that oh so common cardamom top that has been duplicated (not perfectly mind you) numerous times, with a deliciously tempered assorted citrus top. Don't get me wrong, I still love La Nuit, but my biased opinion tells me I prefer this - especially considering that I only own the Frozen version. One knock against this fragrance is the longevity... 5 - 6 hours with average projection (The Edt definitely wins this category). As the fragrance dries down, this really starts to smell like a cinnamon pastry dish - very nice.

Opening: Natural bergamot and Lemon. The lemon is bright and refreshing, but short lived and does not last more than one minute. Dry down: Turns into the original La Nuit and becomes a oriental. The geranium is on top of the woody base that it comes off a little tarty. After a hour it becomes smooth and powdery, almost a little sweet touch to it too as the Tonka Bean plays through. As it wears out the pepper comes thru a little more. Longevity: 4 to 6 hours Projection: High, most wearing's people have noticed. Overall: This is the same as the original La Nuit except the short citrus opening. The mid and dry down is dead on to the original and this remains to be a very sexy nightlife cologne. Purchase: YES

Who would've thought it but this flanker is amazing! Really! I'm indifferent about the original L'Homme, I like La Nuit and the parfum version and the terrible Sport version but I think this one might be my favourite. It really does invoke an icy freshness the spicy, menthol, citrus is pretty effortless in creating this feel before drying down to a more familiar La Nuit de L'Homme accord. That warm, woody, clean soapy cardamom and fruits. I like this...it's that same method of introducing a brighter fresher element to an already winning formula. However it is only really the opening that is vastly different so I couldn't justify a purchase at the moment. Still I was pleasantly surprised by this one.

I got a sample today of this, for me the best way to compare this LA NUIT FROZEN with the LA NUIT ORIGINAL, is looking for ALLURE HOMME SPORT and ALLURE Homme, for the conceptions are very similar in my opinion, I have these four perfumes and already had the opportunity to compare between them, essentially replaced warmer notes by cooler notes, but kept the original skeleton, longevity on my skin is the same that LA NUIT oRIGINAL which pleased me greatly, because it is a perfume for summer nights the projection is not as good as the LA NUIT ORIGINAL that in my opinion is perfect, q have no doubt will be my perfume of summer nights 5 * longevity 10/10 projection 8/10 scent 10/10

I love this scent...and so does my wife. I haven't owned the original in quite some time and I'm a huge fan of it as well. Frozen doesn't last as long, 6 hours tops, and it's gone just like that. I like to have a few colognes that aren't complete beasts, I love wearing this around the house, lying in bed close to someone, meeting friends for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner. I simply don't wear this if I'm pulling an all nighter it doesn't last. Every cologne, EDT, EDP, in my wardrobe plays it's part for me. This one plays it very well. I highly recommend FROZEN it's an amazing scent that I wear often and have received many compliments as well as ?s about it.

Just got this on Ebay for a steal of a buy at $47 for the 100ml 3.4 oz bottle. Like others have mentioned it definitely resembles the original La Nuit, but with cooler notes for sure. The lavender and geranium make the difference but it is definitely still spicy. Just not as spicy as the original. The cooler notes makes this a great scent for the day with the same longevity as the original at least on my skin. Spray it a few times and definitely lasts 7+ hours. Love both scents and though similar, there is a distinctiveness in them. The EDC a day cooler more citrusy scent while the original just perfect for the spicier nightlife.

I tried Frozzen cologne and the La Nuit at the same time and had my mind made for the original one. Got he Le Parfum as well on line but never quite forgot the cologne for its beautiful geranium note, for me it is the major note altogether, so I am getting it also. But this is an eau de cologne and although the high quality of the ingredients tends to fool us thinking it is stronger it is not. On my paper strip it lasted for about 2 hours and the original 4 to 6 DAYS on my desk at home. Lavender all over the bedroom. great stuff. My first YSL was Jazz back in 1995 and since then I am a big fan.

I own LND OG early batch which is better than my current ish batch but both are amazing. I also have LNDBE decant and LNDFC decant and oddly enough I like this FC the best. Now I have not experienced this as much as the others but I do love the freshness that Y Ice, which I also own, can’t compete with. Y Ice is nice but not as clean and refined as this one. I also pick up a little up l’homme Ultime. Almost like a ultime iced. If FC was as substantial as early batch OG LND it would be perfection, although it could be the light nature that makes it so amazing.

La Nuit de L'Homme Frozen Cologne is an addictively superb fragrance that is weird (in a good way). Why do I think it is weird? Well, they made the fragrance smell so fresh with a cooling sensation (from the geranium and bergamot) in the opening, and then it dries down into this beautiful tonka bean ( for sweetness) and black pepper (for spiciness), with some woodiness in the background and that geranium, which is still going quite strong in the drydown. It is awesome. Kinda lucky to get a bottle of this one, even though there's only 10 mL left.

This is such a good perfume for everyday. Albeit discontinued. It's super versatile. I don't understand why people say "oh it's for summer only". Very fresh, tangerines, citrus, somehow has a clean quality, fizzy, lasts long enough too. Here's how board meetings go at YSL: Person A -- Wow, LNDH and LN Frozen are doing extremely well. We should keep making them it'll be great. Person B -- Discontinue them and give the public trash like L'homme Ultime. Next day ------ Person A is no longer working at YSL.

After L'Homme Libre becoming one of my favorite fragrances if not my favorite right now and enjoying the other YSL scents such as La Nuit de L'Homme and L'Homme, I've been searching for this one. Have not had any luck finding it locally or online through big recognized retailers here in the States. Even Nordstrom doesn't carry it yet.. Hope to find it soon.. Update: See that some sellers on Ebay out of the UK now have it.. Need some sellers in the States to get it!!

Wow, I was quite surprised by this. I have the original one and La Nuit. What caught my nose with this one is the beautiful top notes of Juniper, pine and citrus. It smells like a well made martini. Once it dries down you get the same notes as La Nuit and occasionally I will get a whiff of that martini smell. I love it. On me it lasts something like 5-6 hours. I have not timed it exactly but I just love the way it smells.

Hoy pude conseguir una edición de 60 ML , y la.partida es diferente a la nuit , más fresca y con tonos más citricos, a la.hora de aplicado se parece o es casi similar a las notas de la nuit, un perfume exquisito, quizás con un poco menos de fijación que la nuit , pero con cambios en sus notas principales lo que lo hacen un perfume versátil, lo puedes usar en la tarde para después dejarse caer en la oscuridad de la noche

Smells like a sporty/day version of La Nuit de L'Homme. The Geranium is what makes this one stay apart from the original, aside from an almost minty vibe going on here. It makes Frozen Cologne more suitable for noon use. The scent is very similar in the drydown, but very different in the opening. It is sharper, more peppery, and more minty. A very good release. Too bad that it's discontinued right now.

Agree:Very similar to the original YSL La Nuit de l`Homme except for the top notes. Having the perfume version as well i would say these all around cinnamon, plum. I do not know what can be frozen in this but overall very nice indeed. and do not leaves residuals on skin or clothing like the perfume version what is much more oily in nature. so like it, love it suggest it to you to consider and try...

After trying samples of both the original La Nuit and this, I kind of prefer this more. It also helps that the performance on this is much closer to how people say the vintage versions of La Nuit were. Unfortunately it seems like the price on this one is on the climb now as well. I imagine it won't be long until this has near the same value as the original vintage.

Just wanted to share some info for those who live near Toronto, Canada, as of March 7th_2019. There is L'Oreal sale that is selling YSL la nuit de L'homme frozen cologne for $51 for 100ml. If anyone interested can Google L'Oreal sale, as it is invite only sale, but invites are easy to come by with little work on internet. Just thought I would share.

Just got a bottle as I love the OG La Nuit. This is La Nuit with a sandblasted flask and with a menthol feel ( not smell) in the opening. Just as good as OG but much more expensive as it is discontinued. If u have the original you are fine believe me. Ahhh it has a clove smell that the OG does not too... it is not fresher in any way.

This is my personal gem. I bought it recently for normal price and it is the very first batch tester, so the performance is great. And the smell? Wonderfuly fresh version of the OG, superb projection and good longevity. It's Le jour de l'homme ;-) Geranium gives it that frosty vibe, but only for a while. Love it!

I never was a huge fan of the original La Nuit when released, but when i first smelled this one i knew i had to buy it. This one is a fantastic fresh take on the original and on my skin this last quite a while for beeing a cologne, in fact its stronger than the current formulated la nuit original.

@scentitar ... In Brazil it costs about US$80,00 and I dont't think it is a fresher version of regular LNdH but with a twsit, geramnium instead of lavender, and it doesn't behave as an eau de cologne either. For me it is pretty strong and long lasting. And less sweet. I prefer this over the EDT.

Been wanting to get this Cologne for a while now since it had been hard to find in the States.. Apparently not anymore. Before I purchase it, is it really that similar to La Nuit..? I am curious because if it is too similar I'll skip it and buy something else. Look forward to the feedback.

Mine lasted about 8 hours in a hot and humid climate (2012 batch). Works great on my skin with great projection for the first 3 hours and still leaving sillage until the 5th hour. Skin scent after that. I used this for daytime and I grab the Zara Y Collection for night time use.

A little bit feminine, spicy/sweet (cause of the pepper and geranium), perfect scent for autumn or winter, maybe a good Christmas present (for me). Very heavy and unique, it smells like a cake, so yummy, I need this, I want it:)

I actually don't like the citrus opening much, but then it smells so freakin' amazing as it gets closer to the original la nuit. Not too close though, Frozen Cologne smells much more fresh and youthful to me.

Always loved original La Nuit. I prefer the original but this one is a bit fresher and surprisingly it last 6 to 8 hours on clothes. I'll certainly get a backup bottle while i still can...

Luckily to find a 100ml new bottle, only no box. This is such a nice fresh scent with a sharp lemony twist combined with the beautiful la nuit de l’ homme. Was worth the money!

Oh I love this one, it has that opening of La Nuit that I love, and stays that way. It doesn't morph into a sickly sweet powder like La Nuit does. If only it lasted longer...

Blind bought this today based on the reviews, the batch code is 62J903. I checked for the production year it appears to be on 2012. I dont know if its a good or a bad thing!

This one has been growing on me. I don't know why but right in the opening, all I think of is lemon and vodka. (Maybe a gin & tonic, with a twist of lemon.)

To me it smells just like the original but with a citrus blast in the opening, I still love the whole l'homme line, they are definitely my go to fragrances.

This HAS been released in the Perfume Shop, for all UK people on here :) I'll buy myself a bottle in a few days

This is perhaps the best flanker of LNDL. Scent 9.5/10 Longevity 8/10 Projection 7/10 Versatility 8.5/10

Smells similar to original La Nuit, but i like this much better than the original one..

Just found 2 100ml bottles of this gem at shoppers drug Mart $19.99 shelf....

Simply the best. My favourite fragrance ever. Seriously intoxicating.

So does this last longer than current La Nuit?

This has been sitting on my wishlist for a while, I was sure I'd never get this in my collection since it's been long discontinued. I read extensively about it, how it was a fresh take on the grand La Nuit de l'Homme. All reviews are positive mentioning the fresh notes, the tender sweetness, the delightfulness so my expectations were very high. I was lucky enough to find a 100ml brand new Frozen Cologne with 30% off (if they only knew they could've sold this over ebay for 3x the price) so I didn't even think twice before purchasing and yeah, I wasn't ready for it. I've read that Geranium is the main note and key player here and I don't recall any of my fragrances having any prominent Geranium notes so this was already uncharted territory for me. The fragrance opens with a nice citrus blast with some sweeter notes, they got that right however this lasts 10 to 15 mins before all the fresh and 'frozen' notes disappear. After that it's La Nuit de l'Homme Cologne (nothing frozen about it). Then there's the Geranium, Pepper and Cashmere Wood present and I guess the tonka in the back (in account for the creamy and sweet feel). On the first wear I didn't like it but didn't hate it, on second wear it grew on me. I still haven't decided if it Love or Like, I certainly don't Hate it but it'll take a couple of wears to get there. The 'frozen' name is misleading and I'm not sure this is a day wear for Spring and Summer, to me this is an evening/night wear for Spring and Autumn. Longevity is very good for an Eau de Cologne.

I don't consider myself much of a fan of the YSL L'Homme line, and while La Nuit in particular seems to be one of the most beloved designer men's fragrances of late, it's not so remarkable to me, though I find it very agreeable. The Frozen Cologne flanker, however, is comparably agreeable but is more provocative. Frozen Cologne features a bit of a sharper, more citrus-laden opening, with the added "frozen cocktail accord" that I liken most to a margarita but with less bitterness from tequila. The dry down is a little sharper (pepper) and more powdery (tonka) than La Nuit, as well. Overall, Frozen Cologne is just a little more interesting than the comparatively very safe La Nuit. Frozen Cologne's performance is solid for an "eau de cologne"-concentrated fragrance, as well, seemingly stronger than many EDTs out there, even with the note composition being relatively light-leaning, especially toward the top. Still, for me, Frozen Cologne is more of a "like" than a "love" though I'm glad to have a bottle to use sparingly in light of its discontinued status. 7 out of 10

I am going to preface this with the fact that I am a HUGE YSL fan, and have every single L'Homme flanker ever produced. I received a sample of this a week ago from a friend in Portugal, and then I received today a bottle that I ordered from Ireland. I guess I'm the first to test this out, or at least publicly acknowledge that I've tried it. It starts out a little brighter than La Nuit, I assume that's due to the multitude of citrus fruits in the top notes. Then, after about an hour, calms down to a lighter, less intense version of the original. The geranium is prominent toward the middle, and is tempered by a slight note of pepper: lost if you don't pay very close attention. I'm still waiting for this to finish, but I get a pretty decent longevity on it thus far, with an average lasting time of 4-5 hours. I guess it would be fine for a date or something similar. I'm going to wear this to work tomorrow and see how my co-workers react. My guess is it'll be a mixed bag, with most women thinking it's alright.

I always ignored this little underestimated gem when I went sniffing some fragrances, maybe because it's labeled as a cologne or maybe because I own a absolutely love the original la nuit de l'homme. Today, I decided to try it. I think I get where the word "Frozen" comes from, as, once you spray it on your skin, it's freezing... Litterally! lol! Joking aside, Cologne is an understatement to this wonderful creation. It has enough substance from the original but enough substance to differentiate itself from it too! The main difference is the projection. This one is too subtle and wears close to the skin. However, in this case, this is not a bad thing as it has a good if not great lasting power. I have both this one and the original fahrenheit on my wrists, and this one outlasted fahrenheit on my skin! In the end, this is a very good fragrance for casual and everyday wear when you don't want to smell too powerful. Plus, I think that it's so versatile that it works anytime, anywhere! Simply GREAT!

I must agree with previous review. This Feels (or smells if you like) like vodka tonic with some mint. Rarely I enjoy "fresh" scents but this one I like quite much. It does not develop into much else, just gets quiet with passage of time which I exactly what I look for during hot days. Simple but quality refresher. To me this is a suit without tie office scent. White shirt though, casual work lunch. Would not use at night outs, not because it would not be suitable, just prefer something more "dense and dark" for those occasions. But again, I see it fitting. While summer scent, I believ it can work great during fresher early spring months, sunny mornings. Not a big fan of YSL but this one is, especially for the price, quite fine. Projection first 2 hours moderate to heavy then moderate to low. Lasts on me about 6-7 hours. Crowd pleasing, I believe due to being in the safe non offensive fresh bracket. Positive, happy vibe kind a thing. 7/10.

A brighter and more 'energic' version of the already classic La Nuit, for those occasions when you don't want to wear something fancy or too elegant, but still want to smell good...and it really delivers in that area. It also appears more 'natural' and for sure fresher than the original, and imo, this addition makes it more wearable and suitable for almost all year round. Middle and base notes are still carrying La Nuit genes, but I find it less formal (sweet) and easier to wear. I own and love both versions for different occasions or moods. Longevity and sillage seems somehow milder but more than reasonable. My personal rank 8.6/10 ☣☣☣☣. Recommended.

I have the 'original' La Nuit and enjoy it a lot. So when I read the reviews about the Frozen Cologne, a little bit cooler and citric, I got really excited and bought a 100 ml bottle. But here ́s the deal: I think the biggest difference between them both concearns the first 2 minutes or so, in which the Frozen Cologne has a citric opening with lemon and bergamont that are not present in the original one. Once it fades away, its pretty much the same fragrance. So, if you already have the original one, stick to it and spend your money in another fragrance. The first 2 minutes won ́t make any difference.

@bcoops, I totally agree Opens with cool geranium (much like the one in platinum egoiste) and smooth slightly acidic yet cool citrus, after about 10 minutes that settles and reveals a bit of la nuit's trademark sweet cardamom, wood and spice though toned down a notch or two. It's very elegant, smooth and cool, about 1/2 as sweet as it's bigger brother. A very nice addition to your collection if you're a YSL la nuit lover. Ideal version for day or spring and summer. I like it!
