La Nuit de L'Homme Le Parfum

UNE NUIT INTIME DE L'HOMME One of the most important characteristics of a perfume is the praise for the fragrance we use. I always look at two different situations associated with this olfactory pleasure we evoke in others: In a more anonymous and social ambience, And in a more personal situation between two people in an intimate meeting. Looking only at male perfumes, the original "La Nuit de L'Homme" by Yves Saint Laurent has always been a big exponent when it comes to anonymous praise or appearing in more social settings. Undoubtedly, ladies like this fragrance and notice men who wear it. Because it has been massively commented on and broadcast, at least on YouTube, everyone has a bottle (or two). Currently, it has become an 'easy' fragrance and I am not sure that it will retain its initial effectiveness. "La Nuit de L'Homme Le Parfum" by Yves Saint Lauren" could hardly be a "common" flanker of "La Nuit de L'Homme". It lacks the cardamom note, which is perhaps the most noticeable note in the original. I think it's a slightly different scent. It's a fragrance that is very well made, but unfortunately, a little underperforming and little known to the public. It starts with an oriental mixture of anise, fennel, and pepper, similar to "Opium pour Homme" also by Yves Saint Laurent, but with a small dose of mild lavender. The body is filled with sweet and strong fruity notes. At the base, the resins and discreet vetiver give the dryness a masculine note, which is also sweetened by peaceful vanilla. It is less young and more mature than the original. For me, this is the best "La Nuit ...". It is a fragrance that attracts less attention, but it becomes much more effective in terms of "close encounters". From this point of view, it makes an excellent team with the original: one can be used for flirting and the other for intimate use. Let's rate this intimacy potion: ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ Opening: 9.5 (spicy and aniseed opening accord that gives way to a very fruity body) Drydown: 8.5 (soft vanilla and vetiver dryness) Longevity: 6.5 (5~6 hours in my skin, with 3 sprays; below average) Sillage: 6.5 (4~5 feet sillage with 1.5 hours of projection; better if used on clothes) Exclusivity: 7.5 (not many similar fragrances, but a certain familiarity with the original "La Nuit de L'Homme (Eau de Toilette) | Yves Saint Laurent"; I also think it resembles the younger "Mauboussin Private Club | Mauboussin "). Portability: 8.5 (Easy to use, but better in colder temperatures) Versatility: 8.0 (if you are heavy on the trigger you will have unexpectedly better versatility, but never for a long time) Praise: 9.0 (a ladies' pleaser, but better for intimacy) Quality: 8.0 (above-average high-quality ingredients, but low performance; my bottle dates from 2014 and has better performance than current versions) Presentation: 9.0 (elegant and discreet) Price: 6.0 (I bought my 100ml flask on sale for € 45, but it usually sells around € 100). ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ Overall rating: 8.18 / 10.00 between 7 and 8 = above average; between 8 and 9 = recommended; greater than 9 = don't miss it; My Opinion: Not good value for money, especially when you consider the below-average performance. However, it is very suitable for "close encounters" where you may prefer a more elegant and less intrusive scent. Recommended? It depends on your budget or the way you appreciate perfumes. I prefer this one to the original. Blind worthy of buying? Not really, unless you're not on a budget and don't value performance. Music: Joe Cocker - "You can leave your hat on"

Truly a great and unique variation of a classic fragrance. Different enough, but yet still pays homage to the original. Le Parfum is able to emulate the essence of cardamom from the original without actually using it; and the three notes that do that and truly make up the scent are pepper, lavender, and vanilla. The vanilla doesn't make it too sweet, the pepper doesn't make it too spicy, but the lavender is what cools it and blends the two wonderfully. Le Parfum leaves a cool, smooth, and deep scent while creating a subtle cloud around you and a nuanced trail for others to smell. Le Parfum works phenomenally in intimate settings and where you'll be close with others. This scent is meant to bring in others quietly without being too forward. The design of the bottle also captures the scent's image too, a man of the night whose cool and smooth nature only leave you questioning who that man is. A little dramatic of a review, but honestly, La Nuit de L'homme Le Parfum is arguably one of the most unique and attractive scents out of all the options there are. For those who are curious, I have been given numerous compliments on the scent by family, friends, and strangers, though not as much from strangers because again, it's a scent for a more closed and intimate setting. It could be really used all year round, but really only for the night. For those who love the original but are disappointed over the reformulations can comforbalty come to this for comfort. The lack of cardamom can be concerning for most, but you'll come to realize this scent does wonderfully without it. For those looking for "projection" and "longevity" will be confused over this scent. Those two factors aren't everything for a fragrance, though this scent does actually last for a good while it isn't some huge "projector" as many people seek for in fragrances, but is a decent one. You'll come to realize that you don't want your fragrances "projecting" so much and would much rather have fragrances politely invite others in. And Le Parfum is perfect for that. I would highly recommend this cologne for men who love the the Nuit line. A cool and smooth fragrance for a man of the same traits. A solid option and perhaps the only one you need from this line. All love and god bless.

I'm crazy about the opening of this stuff, and I like it a lot throughout, but man, the opening is so dang good. It is quite distinctive in its sort of spiciness, so it is something that should be sampled if money is a big factor, but I can see how a lot of people might like it a lot. The performance doesn't seem to be as bad to me as some have said, but it will vary from person to person. Seems average to me, not too bad. The body of its life is dominated by a sweet spiciness that seems very familiar to me, like some food or potpourri or something, but I can't put my finger on it. It is torturing me because it seems so familiar lol. I detect a little l'homme DNA, but only very subtlety, and the fragrance itself, to me, bears no resemblance to La Nuit de L'Homme whatsoever. It is strictly spicy and sweet, but pretty dang good. Definitely sample it if you like things like Sauvage Elixir, because (while they smell nothing alike) it has the same Christmassy vibe to it, although it stays on the spicy side instead of the balsamy, green, spicy mix in there, and it is nowhere near as insane of a beast performance wise. It is unique, satisfying, and undeniably creative. I recommend trying. EDIT: I don't want to delete from my impressions above, but spraying it now, I do detect quite a similarity to La Nuit right up top with a darker, way less lavendery cardamom note that you get in La Nuit which I am insane for, and wish lasted longer and was more present generally in La Nuit. To my nose, that beautiful cardamom departs pretty dang quickly and you head right into the deeper spices and sweetness. It doesn't vanish altogether, but yeah, I wish it was twice as present throughout its life. This is worthy of flanker status, but definitely not blind buy safe if you don't like to live dangerously or aren't an enormous fan of La Nuit de L'Homme, which I am but wasn't always. Another scent I might compare this to is The One Gold, only far far superior and not as sweet in TWG's strange way. I'm not a huge fan of that one, and it's spiciness is completely different, but it has a vibe that vaguely reminds me of that.

Well, after having made the same mistake over and over, reading reviews and basing my decision in many occasions on what the masses say, it is time for me to break free from these chains of mediocrity and character weakness.... Gentlemen, this is in no way, shape or form same as the original but weaker, it is very rich,dense and longer lasting, less loud, dark, aromatic and more refined. If you are over 27 or in your 30's already, you will find this fragrance a step forward the original, feels like a more dense and refined version of the original (which is more youthful and loud). This one is great for close encounters, dates, going out to nice fancy dinners, classical concerts, theater etc, High class events, whereas the original is for nightclubs, discos, pubs etc. Don't be mislead by the comments of 15 or 18 year old guys here bashing the fragrance because it does not project to the other side of the block, since this one despite not being loud, is very rich and dense and is more than enough when you want to enjoy your fragrance for longer but discretely, just like a gentleman and not like a pimp in a night club. Please always test your fragrances and decide for yourself whether you like it or not, and do not base your judgement in other people's take, since we are all different in matter of Taste, Age, race (skin factor), and specially Lifestyle! I would not like my fragrance to mix with the smell of a fine wine or my supper in a restaurant for instance. Fragrance should invite people to come closer to you, attracted by the subtle whiff they perceived on a particular moment, and not repel them by hitting hard with a slap on the nose! My point is that your perspective in fragrance depends on your lifestyle and age of course, therefore do not base your decision on mere reviews, Go to your nearest perfumery and try them on your skin, so you can decide if you like it, then when to wear it and finally how to wear it(dress code), fragrances also have to match your Lifestyle and appearance.
