La Nuit de L'Homme L'Intense

It's been a little over an hour ago since I did my first spray....opening definitely has that transparent iris note that the Dior Homme line is known for. Which I wasn't expecting.(guess I should have looked at the note list!lol) And now that's kind of moving to the back and letting the slightly spicy and sweet vanilla/tonka to come forward. Doesn't really remind me of original La Nuit much at all.(except for the slight powdery-ness) This one is much smoother and cut WAY back on the spiciness of the original La Nuit. Also I swear, I'm smelling some amber or something that resembles it in the background as well. Honestly, this is a pleasant surprise! I'm normally not a fan of iris or powdery scents...but the first impression I'm getting is a pretty positive one! Kind of a cross of the opening of Dior Homme/Intense with a lovely vanilla/tonka note not too far from Ultra Male's to my nose....nicely balanced frag. Looking forward to this first full wearing to see how it develops and to test out the longevity...but it's plenty strong smelling so far to my nose. Edit-the first full wearing went well...turns out longevity was very good. Got a solid 8hrs of being able to smell it easily on my hand and about 10hrs total before it was just barely detectable. However, like with some EDP's the projection and sillage dropped off drastically after the first couple of hours. Despite that disappointment, it's by no means a deal breaker as I still really enjoy this fragrance. Edit #2 2/5/17 I just LOVE this fragrance! Every time I put it on, I'm enamored with its lovely/creamy/sweet/aromatic floral smell. Just such a wonderful and well blended composition. I seriously don't get all bad reviews for this.

Don't believe anyone who says this lasts 20 mins because that's just bull and not true. This scent gets a Lot of Hate because it says intense in the name.. The community forgets this fragrance and gives it no love. I bought a bottle of this and it is amazing. Sweet and smooth. The iris and Tonka bean are heavy hitters and a good combo for compliments. The intense on the bottle in my opinion is not of the normal sense of the word but like "Dude that's intense." As in Cool or awesome. It has nothing to do with strength of the juice. It's not made to last longer than the coveted Orignal that everyone holds up to this ridiculous standard. I have a bottle.. It's a good scent.. Not the greatest ever. Never my "Go To" fragrance. Anyway this scent isn't anything close to that. It has its own vibe and is a great cooler weather fragrance. You can wear on a date, casual, upscale etc. Your best bet is to plan a date night where you are close.. Like a movie or on the couch next to someone because after a few hours it becomes a closer scent. Projection is good for a few hours but stays and lingers closer to you. If you get heated up the projection comes back some but not more than half an arms length. You will smell it on yourself and in a tiny scent bubble when u walk once it dries down for good. I feel like it's kind of a scent For You.. Not so much to show off for anyone else or to try and get attention from others. You will get some in the first few hours but after that it's more for yourself. This is a very sweet smell and not for everyone. Disregard the low scores and Hate in the comments bc it's all for nothing.

I ran into this new La Nuit de L'Homme L'Intense today and I am glad that I did.. I sprayed a few squirts on my wrist so this is just my first impression.. La Nuit de L'Homme L'Intense opens up fresh, sweet, and floral.. There is lots and lots of iris in this fragrance, especially in the opening & it smells great.. Vanilla and tonka are also a big part of this fragrance, they add sweetness to this scent but in a soft gentle way.. There is touches of patchouli in the base which ground the fragrance.. But most of what I get from this scent is a soft iris vanilla tonka fragrance which indeed smells a bit like Dior Homme.. Picture a softer toned down Dior Homme with touches of the spicy La Nuit de L'Homme DNA drifting throughout and that is pretty much what this L'Intense smells like.. Now a lot of people are under the impression that Intense flankers are supposed to be stronger and perform better than the original, but that is "not" the case at all.. Intense flankers are actually only supposed to be a darker, warmer, take on the original fragrance.. "Intense" has nothing to do with performance.. This L'Intense certainly does not perform better than the original but neither is it a darker, warmer, take on the original La Nuit.. If you want a darker, warmer take on La Nuit than check out the "Le Parfum".. This L'Intense is actually a much softer, lighter, floral take on the La Nuit theme.. This new L'Intense will get plenty of hate for all of these reasons but that doesn't take away from the fact that this fragrance does smell amazing! I really enjoyed this fragrance and it is on my wish list!

between this, the original and le parfum version... this one is definitely the beter version why you ask? the quality of the scent, the original smells much more synthetic compared to this although the original is nice don't get me wrong but this one does it so much better and le parfum isn't as close to the original dna if i remember correctly (it's been 7 year's ago i had le parfum) of course the opening is different then the original i get the violet but more like a violet candy and not so powdery smelling as for example the powder smell in prade l'homme (intense). longevity and sillage aren't as great you really have to spray alot if you wanna get smelled for at least 4-5 hours, i spray 7 times with this one and it is just enough for me to smell myself for 3-4 hours others don't really notice the scent after 1-2 hours, spraying 12 times or more.... should do it haha so yeah the price is not worth it, i got it for 62€ or so for 100ml and was the last one ici paris xl would sell. only for the scent itself 9 out of 10 but would only acquire this if you can get it at a nice price and you collect fragrances. even the original isn't really sex in a bottle many reviewers on youtube say it is just a good smelling fragrance you can't go wrong with either version you choose but l'intense smells of better quality. and remember! a couple of sprays a day keeps the stinky people away! :D

I think people have missed the REAL Selling Point of this release: its perfect composition for a newbie review! In this liquid even a beginner (i.e. yours truly) will, possibly, detect ALL opening notes in ONE single sniff – the fragrantic equivalent to a hole-in-one. We may not know how to describe them, but they will be there and they will, for a short while, let us believe we are GENIUSES with a sense of smell only gods allow and provide! “Iris? Check! Violet? Check! (may be confused with each other) That dental caries candy shop smell? You mean vanilla? Check!” Don’t bother about the base notes. Those are not for our kind. At least not yet. Just say “Tonka” or “Green”. That will let you through. Then it will suddenly stop. And you will wonder why. That’s because the ride is over. Your four minutes have passed. Please insert new coins. As for my own humble opinion, I rate this as a fine tuned Fahrenheit (90’s batches) that grown men can wear without blushing. A dark, high-powered mutant – with a life-span of a sneeze... Which is a damn shame, because this fragrance really SPEAKS to me. Imagine if they had bothered to add some anchor molecules to those base notes. Just a few. Even one. A shame indeed.
