Description
Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de l`Homme is a new masculine representative of the house of YSL and it appeared on the market in March 2009. The perfume is announced as one full of contrasts and tensions.
Its flacon is dark and powerful, as if it were announcing powerful ingredients it carries in itself. A veil of mystery and an explosive spicy accord reveal cardamom with sparkling freshness of bergamot, lavender and cedar, which stand for strength of men. Cumin and vetiver in a base ensure a sensual finish and an opulent, elegant closure.
Perfume La Nuit de l`Homme is available in three sizes of bottle – 40ml edt, 60ml edt and100ml edt, along with perfumed deo spray in a collection. The noses behind this fragrance are Anne Flipo, Pierre Wargnye and Dominique Ropion.
Cardamom,Bergamot,Virginia Cedar,Lavender,Vetiver,Caraway

Pure autumnal sophisticated scent.Lightly sweet with an unexpected subtle bitterness the makes it less sweet. Very unique creation from Ysl.It starts green ending up to salty vanilla. The composition is very interesting and the lasting power is very good for an edt.I have so menu memories from this fragrance back in the days when I was living in UK.Fragrances have a strong connection with moments and people in my life, so I can’t rave enough. Do your self a favour and buy one.

Too sweet for me. And I live in hot and humid country, so nah…
denkem – :
I really love this scent, to me the smell reminds me of walking into the woods while smelling gingerbread cookies being baked in the oven only way I can describe this scent definitely a winter, fall scent and works best at night and in colder weather
BURNERED – :
I think we all have that scent that got us into the fragrance ‘addiction’. For me, this is the one. It’s his fault. Have a bottle from 2017. After a few sprays, it only lasts around 2h, and after 3-4 hours, pretty much gone. But definitely worth it.
The smell is extraordinary. Mysterious is the word for it. Not really good (on my skin) when it’s hot outside, much more appropriate for when it’s cold. I wear it with black and green stuff, that’s how it makes me feel.
I feel like this one is a must have. Definitely gonna buy some more after mine’s gone.
ice261 – :
Not sure what they did but the 2018 version lasts and projects pretty well.
I get around 8-10 hours without pushing it, almost too long for my taste lol
If you loved the old version you should give it a try now, it’s still amazing!
Stycle – :
I loved this scent from the moment I first smelled it five years ago, although I liked L’Homme and L’Homme Sport much more. Now I’m considering buying a bottle of this stuff. Shoot, I may just buy all the YSL L’Homme releases for my collection!
I sprayed this and L’Intense on in Sephora yesterday afternoon and they projected like beasts from me. At work 16 hours later, I still smell La Nuit de L’Homme on my neck. Now THAT’s amazing. It’s so fresh, clean, and perfect for nights. 10/10.
Yes, I know it’s been reformulated. But I honestly don’t see any major differences between this and the original formulation, of which I have a sample.
leepzxgeykh – :
It is a fragrance that has positively caught me. Packaging is special. Delicate, refined, refined and sensual. Ideal for an evening outing. I believe that it is appreciated by many (even I was advised). Good fragrance but not as spectacular as many say. The notes have already been formulated in the same way in other perfumes before this, so I would say: Great fragrance but nothing new.
Vesi4ka – :
After a long search I finally found my signature perfume. the most beautiful scent.
Scent: 10/10
Sillage: 8/10
Longevity: 8/10

@VD86
I have to give you a standing ovation for your comment. 1, people don’t understand batch codes 2, fully agree that LNDL was never the “beast” people make it out to have been. 3, majority of people will never be satisfied and happy, even if they get the old batch.
Most people around you won’t even notice the difference, it’ll just be you the wearer that’ll recognize the subtle difference. The current formulation still smells great, it’s not like they changed it so much that it’s unrecognizable and smells like Britney Spears Curious now. Having a conversation with a LNDL fanatic is like saying something is pink and them refuting “NO! it’s buttered sunset MAGENTAAA!”. People need to chill and clean the tip of their nose…

This is the fragrance that got me started collecting, and I really love it. I never really got a chance to smell the original batches, but for me, reformulated or not, it doesn’t matter. In california, at least the area I live in, bottles of La Nuit in our malls range from 50-100, and they usually throw in a 10ml decant of La Nuit as well, so it is well worth it. I love this fragrance, and despite it’s performance, it holds a special place in my heart.
yes I understand I am biased, but if I were to be impartial, this is what I would say: “spicy cardamom that is very prominent and up front, and is present throughout the entire life of the fragrance. At 3 sprays, on my skin it lasts about 3 hours of steady projection at about an arms length away, and comes very close to the skin after that. At the price it is available in my area, carrying a decant isn’t too cumbersome because it is relatively cheap. Due to the below average performance, I rate this a 7/10.”
papeseinunc – :
Ok perfume for me. Performs well during cold days. 4hrs good sillage. I wear this strictly with suit. I don’t think it suits casual clothes.

Batch Code 62P3019 – March 2017 batch
Got this after hearing about it’s beautiful smell on the internet, then tested the smell out in macys and fell in love with it.
When I bought the 200 ML I was so excited, but then realized after a couple of uses that the beautiful smell that lasted much longer on the tester at macys, was dissipating a lot faster before the drydown. After doing some research I started to see reformulation talk, and here I am. ( after months of using and enjoying it )
The dry down on this cologne ( I am talking about after the 1-1 and a half hour mark ) does smell VERY good. Not as unbelievable as the initial smell, but still holds it’s own, the issue is the projection. The projection on the initial burst ( first hour and a half mark ) is fantastic, great projection and great smell.
The drydown however, does not project at all. People have to hug me in order to smell me.
Now obviously you can say just carry a decant wherever you go, and that IS an option, on the other hand carrying a decant for every 3 hours is one thing, but re-applying every hour and a half is annoying.
I will rate this as I think people should, on the initial blast, and the dry down.
Initial blast ( around 1 and a half hours )
smell 10/10 ( Best mens cologne I’ve smelt )
versatility 8/10
cost 7/10
projection 8/10
Dry down
Smell 7/10
versatility 8/10
cost 7/10
projection 2/10 ( this is the deal breaker )
The longevity I get is a solid 4-6 hrs
My overall rating would be a solid 7/10 fragrance.
If that initial smell lasted even a BIT longer, or the drydown projected a BIT better, The rating would go up so much, unfortunately that is just not what I get.
Im curious if anyone else has this dry-down projection issue.
– Do I really have to talk about the compliments…. every knows this is a god in that category… 10/10
SSA__74 – :
I think La Nuit is a highly temperature dictated scent. More than any other fragrance I own. When its alittle brisky outside this really comes alive and I definately see why it gets the hype. Its amazing and projects really well for around 4 hours.
Other times I put this on and its still very pleasant dont get me wrong but it doesnt pop and I wish id have gone with something else.
My bottle is an original 2009.Ive got a little over 60ml left and Il be gutted when its gone as my La Nuit adventure will be over. Ive had two fairly recent bottles of La Nuit in the past and they both lacked the depth of the 2009 bottle
Aquarya – :
I prefer the smell of the newest formulation, more smooth
aidar schackirov – :
@VD86 Listen here.. fact: there’s a fourth formula code: fact: being 8YB02/2. Note the / instead of the -. Fact. Four formula codes. It was around 2015 and is comparable to the latest batch (fourth batch).
sanovich – :
Listen folks,
there are only 3 (!) formulas of La Nuit. Fact.
The problem is: They are not on the bottle, only on the box.
The code on the bottle is the BATCH code aka date of production, but not formula code.
Here are the 3 formulas:
2009- “8YB02-1” vintage, spicy, best performance
2011- “8YB02-2” 2nd vintage, less spicy, weaker performance
but still considered a good batch
2016- “C167049/1” The current La Nuit. Even less spicy, more round and smoothened, more mass-market oriented. Ok performance.
I have owned and smelled all 3, the vintage is obviously th e best, amazing smell, good performance but La Nuit was never a beast.
Current La Nuit is still good, last 6-7 hours wich is enough for a intimate, cozy scent.
In my opinion its not worth it to get a vintage bottle for a high price, just get a current bottle and be happy.
Emporio – :
It has been a year now that I had in mind writing a review for this highly popular juice. Everybody seems to love this one, it is the best seller of YSL, it has a very high perfume score here.
So what do I really think about this one? First of all it is indeed a nice perfume. It is not boring, it is not generic. It was a really solid release for the house of YSL, so I think it is not a coincidence the fact that it is so popular. I always liked this one from the very first time I tested it BUT to be quite honest it never blew my mind. I got countless testers from this one through the years – I even have 3 now which I use nowadays – but I never really thought of buying it. It is indeed a crowd pleaser, there is a lot of videos on youtube reviewing this one, highly praising it and creating all this hype that follows it for years.
I also have to agree that the reformulations really destroyed this one, not just in terms of longevity or silage but also in terms of the smell. It lost all of its character, especially the dry down was completely destroyed.
In conclusion, I think that everyone should try this one, it will always be a reference of a male scent release, it might be an entry scent for someone thinking of discovering the art of scents, but as years have gone by, after so many reformulations I am not so sure that this is a bottle worthy anymore.

I lost my virginity the night I wore this cologne. would recommend lol.
did54 – :
@achadd The formula code from my Jan 2018 is C167049/1 which is the same code since 2016. I honestly can’t explain why my 2018 batch lasts longer. You would think it would perform the same seeing it’s the same formula code, but all I know is I’ve tested a 2016 batch and 2018 and 2018 is noticeably stronger.
moldovamea – :
Interested to hear from someone with a 2018 bottle to know what the formula code is? To see wether it has actually changed from 2015-2017 batches which are all the same.
MartinaKrany – :
Many are blaming EU and IFRA for banning ingredients in La Nuit. Maybe YSL just watered Nuit down themselves for the sake of profit. People seem to buy more and bigger bottles now since it’s weaker.
The newest Y by YSL is extremely thin and weak aswell, and thats a new product!
tsog – :
La Nuit is at it’s core an extension of L’Homme. It has that same synthetic feel with spices and sweetness. Like L’Homme, the scent uses this to great effect.
It opens with sweet cardamom. It’s very smooth and sweet at this point.
Then the middle unfolds. I get a very clear lavender note with a bit of non-descript woods.
All this dries down on a ISO E super / woodsy base, so you are left with cardamom, lavender and woods.
It’s very sweet yet balanced. That’s what drew me to this. Unlike 1 Million and it’s ilk, this is rooted in a more classical masculinity.
The very big con with this, is that this comes with the batch hype that Aventus also has. I own a vintage bottle with the big sprayer, and a 2015 bottle. Both smell fantastic. Perhaps the vintage lasts slightly longer, but the current stuff is still great.
I’d say this: If you can, find a vintage bottle. If not, buy a current one and love it. It’s still damn decent and smells fantastic.
Longevity is very good – 8-9 hours.
Rating: 8.5/10
mkv.orsk – :
UPDATE: I recently sprayed this at 4PM before a long night out. At 2AM, I could still smell La Nuit on my arm. It was a skin scent, but still noticeable. Can’t argue with that.
I can’t compare my bottle to a 2015/2016 one, but the formulation code is still the same (C167049/1). I don’t get complimented on my fragrance often, but with this one I got great reactions from women a few times.
—————————————–
I just got my March 2018 bottle of La Nuit in the mail (batch code 38R300T, verified on checkcosmetic).
After the initial blast of cardamom, it turned kind of ‘stale’ (best I can describe it). This passed after about 15 minutes though, after which it turned into a very nice scent.
The lavender and wood make for a very seductive combination. I bet women would love this on a man. I’ve heard people on here say that this is an unisex fragrance, but I don’t get that at all. It’s very masculine in my opinion.
It does sit quite close to the skin, but two hours in and I can still smell it just fine. I do think you should spray more of this than you’re used too, though. Even then, I don’t think this’ll last all day, but I bet it’ll be noticeable for at least four to six hours. This shouldn’t be an issue, though, as this should be used as a date night scent.
To me, La Nuit deserves a place in every collection, if only for the fact that this is a fragrance ‘classic’.
TL;DR: After the opening, which smells stale to me, La Nuit turns into a great scent. The performance with my 2018 bottle is average, but not terrible. I’d recommend it for date nights and special occasions. I think it’s worth picking up.
RusskiyPashka – :
@Tyriel You hit the nail on the head. The 2017-2018 batches have much better performance than 2016(which is awesome) but the older formulation smells more “alluringly and darker” which my new bottle is lacking. I’m still happy with my 2018 batch, it still smells good, but man the 2011 bottle that I tested had this dark seductive smell to it. Probably the sexiest fragrance I’ve ever smelled!
Vintdrock – :
The 2017 and 2018 formulations are actually not bad at all. The 2015 and 2016 versions are truly horrible. I am testing my 2017 version, head to head with the 2013 version. The 2017 one is much stronger. There is a (very noticable) difference in scent though. The 2013 is much more alluring, seductive and dark (perfect date scent). The 2017 version is more peppery, bright, sparkly and clean (smells like a date-scent, which is now also office friendly).
My 2017 version lasts an average workday, with roughly two hours of moderate projection. When I take a shower in the evening, the scent is released (again). This way I know that it lasted a good while.
YSL messed this fragrance up 2015 and ‘fixed’ the problem in 2017. The scent is significantly different, but it has no performance issues anymore. Do not expect beastmode performance. This is meant to be a close encounter fragrance, not a stadium filler.
Update:
Three hours in. The 2013 version is so much smoother and comforting. I remember why I fell in love with this fragrance.
Five hours in: The 2013 version is currently stronger than the 2017. It seems that the 2017 uses up all its fuel with stronger projection. As it is now a skin scent. The 2013 is still projecting 20-ish cm.
Nine hours in: 2017 is almost gone. 2013 is still projecting as it was at the five hour mark. When I touch my neck and smell my hand, it is still very strong.
I will cherish this bottle till the very last drop.

So I just bought a new bottle from Macy’s. Batch code is 38R101T. For some reason it’s not listed on checkfresh but checkcosmetic has it listed and it’s Jan 2018.
Now I’ve never had the chance to smell the original 2009-2010 formulation but I’ve smelled a 2011 bottle, which was the first reformulation and 2011 is a richer, warmer, more potent and longer lasting than this one. I knew this when buying this new bottle, but I don’t feel like going on eBay and paying $200 or more for some strangers used bottle. It’s not worth it to me, especially since you just never know how that person has stored it. And least with buying brand new, you know what you’re buying.
Now I had smelled a tester bottle from Macy’s which on checkfresh said it was from 2016 and I really feel like the performance from this 2018 bottle is noticeably better. Obviously it’s not like it was back in the day, but to my nose, it’s much better in terms of performance than the 2016 tester I tried. With my 2018 bottle, I got about 3 1/2 to 4 hours of about arms length projection that people around me could smell. I’ve read reviews from people saying they only got an hour and a half of projection from the 2016 reformulation and I honestly feel I only got about 2 hours from it as well, so I was pleasantly surprised when it was going on 4 hours and people a couple feet from me could still smell it.
Like I said, it’s not as rich or potent smelling, but this 2018 batch still smells awesome to me. I still think YSL should come back with the original formulation and call it La Nuit De L’homme “Vintage”. People would love it!!
mechanik – :
I just checked my bottle that I bought in 2013 and it is a 2011 bottle. I still have 95% because it’s too hard to wear it here in the Philippines, because of its tropical climate. I probably still have this bottle 20 years from now. It smells great every time I wear it at a
5 star hotel/resort casino. The scent just cuts through the smoke filled casino floor. This 2011 version is a masterpiece.
bobronnikov_uu – :
I tried it in Shoppers Drug Mart again the 2018 version seems stronger to me than the 2015 version I tried a couple years ago.
shpihonok – :
This is a real masculine scent, not the diluted unisex feminine stuff. The lavender is blended well with this, barely detectable. Its a rare man scent with sex appeal that will lure a woman in, without losing the targeted audience. You can smell the power that it represents. Don’t worry you will get noticed at least and compliments at most if you spray it right before or 30 min before you walk in your destination!!!!.
The BAD: Oh its so watered down now, from what I remember
Silllage and Longetivity is non existent from what I remember from the original release
zgn13 – :
I got a bottle back in late 2013 and am not even halfway through (I’m trying hard to conserve). This is about as sexy as it gets, guys. It’s an absolute night fragrance that will elevate your style ten-fold when you wear it. For confident men who are on their way to a black tie event, ideally. Sean Connery’s Bond would wear this.
aristotelus1 – :
I dont know what everyone is talking about performance…
This stuff lasts literally forever!
I have tested it yesterday in a store. Sprayed 2 sprays on my wrist and I can STILL smell it after 15 hours.
Did YSL make this stuff stronger again?
Unfortunately I forgot to check the batchcode, but I assume its a 2018 or 2017 batch.
Performance is really good… im not kidding.
Smell is legendary, one of the most seductive fragrances I have ever smelled.
Ivan Assergoboof – :
I just bought a 40ml bottle batch seems to be from 2016 and i tried a tester first at the shop on the back of my hand and was strong like D&G The one EDP or more, i bought the 40 ml at a good price 38 euro (43 euro at Notino). I went home i sprayed my bottle on the other hand is fainted almost right away, i also tried again on clothes and i barely sense it. I mean…. if the tester that i tried is some old batch i can tell the difference because is still on my hand after 3 hours on my hand compare to the bottle, one It’s like a bonfire (when i put my nose on it there is a warming sensation) and the other is like a ghost far away… I think that tomorrow i will go to the shop again and i will change it if i can. What a disappointment…
eziz-designer – :
This i would say is one of my absolute favorites, will probably always be in my top 5, I discovered this scent about 4 years ago, about 2014. When I first smelled it I was amazed, I wasn’t heavy into cologne at that point and I was completely blown away at this scent, 4 years later I have the same emotions for this fragrance. Probably on my second or 3rd bottle.
From the beginning, this is a cardamom bergamot monster that dries down to a nice woodsy scent. It’s absolutely stunning. I wear this on a date and I’m really trying to win her over this give me an even bigger edge I believe.
It’s sexy, alluring, inviting and provocative, all while being dark.
A great 9.5/10 for me.
Sillage is 10/10
Longevity 9/10
Projection 8/10

Cinamon? Are you talking about la nuit or..
rdn_king – :
Okay I am a little late to the party…..
Ive been collecting frags since 2011. I NEVER gave this one a chance, and heres why: I always thought this one was too soft-spicy. It was like a warm cinnamon bun fresh out of the oven with no backbone.
Now onto the truth….I FINALLY gave this a chance and all I can say is how stupid I was that I never bought this back in 2011.
Scent: This starts off like I always remembered…..A soft, warm cinnamon bun fresh out of the oven. After a quick 15-20 minutes the woods start to come in…YES!!!! Its a heavy, fresh blast of cardamom and lavender up front and quickly starts to tie into the cedar and the slightest hint of vetiver.
When the woods come, its game over. Its unbelievable. Absolutely unreal!
OVERALL: Cinnamon roll, woody, perfect for fall.
Scent 10/10
crococot11111 – :
This is a good one. Falls under the more natural smelling colognes category. Simpler yet unique. The cardamom note really sticks out. I feel like its a very soft scent which is a bit powdery and a lot of sexy.
Only complaint is the performance on this one. However, i spray this 6-7 times and im good for AT LEAST 5-7 hours
Projection 7.5/10
longevity 9/10
Scent – 10/10
Overall 9.5/10
Worth having, better than many colognes, it’ll be a common reach for me.
Definitely suited for more cooler days or nights. As i do with most of my bottles i bought the biggest one i could 6.7oz will be replacing as i get low.
ensuddyerenue – :
This is one of my favorite perfume. Absolutely amazing. The blend of cardamom, lavender, and cedar are just perfect. This will be my signature scent in colder season. I received lots of compliments.
This is a masterpiece.

Get the batch from 2011 and below so you can experience the authentic and non reformulated bottle
afgan2502 – :
Just snagged a bottle from 2009 (Original Formula 9AFA) and I can confirm that it’s authentic as I got the same reaction from initially coming across this. This is the version that has that heavy, rich cardamom top with the classy – semi powder dry down. The price point for this bottle wasn’t bad, given this is a vintage formula. Strange because the bottle is slightly larger than the current and the cap does not fit either. Overall, this was a good blind buy. If you can come across a verified vintage version, go for it. There is a risk of the bottle not being stored properly however that can be in any case.

I just found a 2012 bottle in a store and the old stories about it are true.
Performance :9-10 hours

Hope they will do magic to make a retro version to brng back memories to manny
ixn278Diobtetty – :
Full on cardamom, which smells really good and warm, classy yet remain youthful. However, there’s serious issue with its staying power. Barely longer than an hour and it becomes mostly a skin scent.

Man this stuff smells like what manly man wears. Not to rugged though, just right. Masculine fresh. You will get compliments. Theres to much unisex fragrances out as of 2018. NO girly unisex vibe at all with this one
колямба – :
This has to be my favorite fragrance of all time. I can speak to both pre-2014 and the newer formulations. I first smelled this in Macy’s in 2013 when I first started college. Sprayed it on my wrist, and at first I wasn’t crazy about it. As the day went on, I found myself sniffing my wrist constantly. I went back that same day and bought a bottle. After wearing one or two more times, I instantly fell in love with it. It is a very warm and inviting, spicy, yet slightly fresh scent all at the same time. Cardamom is one of my favorite fragrance notes, so I might be biased towards fragrances that have cardamom, but La nuit d’lhomme NAILS it. Ultra sexy fragrance. During my first year or two of college, girls would GUSH over this stuff. You would not believe some of the reactions I received from women, both young and old. This fragrance is actually how I met my girlfriend of almost 4 years. I technically met her through a mutual friend on a night out. But I noticed she kept following me around the bar we were at but had not spoken to me and after a while, she finally came up to me and said, “You smell really really f’ing good and I need you to dance with me.” True story. However, this is not everyone’s cup of tea. It is definitely a bit metrosexual but still on the masculine side, so test before buying. But, I will never be without a bottle of this stuff in my rotation, old or new formulations.
Now as for the performance. While the bottle I had in 2013 was almost beast mode on my skin, the newer bottles are DEFINITELY lacking in the performance department. However, I believe the performance issues everyone is complaining about is a bit exaggerated. With the newer formulations I’m getting about 6 hours on my skin with moderate to slightly weak projection, which is fine since I wear this mostly for my gf and it became a scent to be worn more intimately for me. Buy a 200 ml bottle since they are cheap, get a decant and stick it in your pocket, and refill when needed. Problem solved. People need to stop worrying about reformulations and buy what you think smells good. All in all, one of my all time favorites that will always have a spot in my fragrance rotation.
rembrant_41 – :
Just got a 2013 bottle and this stuff smells good, projects, and lasts. Only paid $56 too lol. Glad to have it in my collection!
Also it’s fine to wear in the summer or spring in climate controlled environments. Very safe Fragrance

@Richn
Absolutely not worthy considering alot of good releases over the years but scent character of this one is realy special to me nothing beats it imo,
Though if you realy like the scent you can buy edition art less pricey than collectors edition, should be around 80$
Both are 2014 batches of this one,average peformance 4-6hr longevity.
OSANDRESEY – :
Unfortunately I have to echo WildHusky’s review (see below), regarding the 2018 formulation. I don’t know the 2014 or prior formulations, although I had a decant from a tester bottle from a store a couple of months ago that smelled better and performed better. The 100 ml bottle (February 2018 batch) I recently bought however smells more synthetic to me (the ISO E Super is more obvious) and performance is abysmal. I now have 29 fragrances (well, 30 if I include my home fabricated Molecule 01 clone), some of them are rather weak performers, but my new La Nuit de l’Homme is the worst of them all. Instant skin scent. This is the first time I’ve bought a fragrance and feel like I’ve wasted my money. Such a shame, because I like the scent (even though I don’t like it as much as the decant I had).
Senbruiseeniz – :
I love the scent. But not buying new formulations and im pretty sure who ever buys this it wouldnt have much use to him since it lasts 1hr.
Pre 2014 Masterpiece *
After 2015 an insult to costumers and fans all over the world.
By buying this Basicly youre giving free money to yves saint laurent company.
dienelilsbigo – :
I dont get these “gilrs love this” “this a panty dropper!”s. Ive been around wearing different perfumes or after shaves. But when ppl compliment your scent it doesn’t mean they wanna fuck, and when they dont compliment your masculine unwelcoming scent doesnt mean theyre not into you. Wear the perfume that matches your character and express yourself not the one “every girl loves”. Well unless you dont have a character…
btw, I kind of get why this ones so popular but not my kind of aroma
angels_in_hell – :
I have a 2018 batch, and it’s my first exposure to this fragrance.
Whatever it is now compared to older formulations, whatever the performance is. This is still an amazing scent. I heard that this formulation is the smoothest of the three, which sits perfectly well with me. I don’t feel I got ripped off, or that my expectations were too high. Maybe because I actually tried it before I researched it.
Buy, carry a decant, respray if you have to. Don’t complain and enjoy.
alesh – :
I love this fragrance so MUCH that I have to Post another review here.
I know reformulation ruined la nuit de l’homme but this review is based on 2012 version which I bought recently.
It’s been almost a year since I smelled This heavenly fragrance for the first time and since then it’s my favorite fragrance (Dolce and Gabanna The One was my favorite back then) because It just takes me to heaven every time I smell it. There are some fragrances that are just pleasing but there are some with a mysterious character that makes you fall in love with them. While la nuit is super masculine it has some feminine side which makes it sexy and seductive to ladies. La nuit de l’homme is the most romantic fragrance of all time, It Just like making love and have a romantic sex with a hot girl in bed.
Compliments are amazing, I got more compliments with aventus, CH Men or Sauvage, but La nuit got me The best compliments overall.
Anyways, When you spray La nuit you notice the smooth and warm cardamom and a little bit the freshness of bergamot and after half an hour lavender shows itself, When it dries down I smell a powdery vanilla which is not listed on notes!
La nuit manages to be classy while being youthful, Soft while being Noticeable and safe while being unique. If you’ve never smelled it before you can’t judge it by just looking at notes.
I think It is one of the best Things you can ever smell in your life and not just an “OK” Fragrance but do not blind buy it because you may be dissapointed by its bad performace (new formulation).
Some people compare la nuit de l’homme to D&G The One, Ch Men prive and dior homme intense, They have some similarites like They are all smooth, They are warm and inviting and They are all king of date night fragrances. They share simillar vibes But they have different scents. Dior homme intense is best of them in terms of performance and longivity and Dolce and gabanna the one is More versatile than others, CH Men Prive Smells more masculine than others and La nuit de l’homme gets the best reaction from Ladies.
And last thing if you want to fully enjoy this fragrance use it in a right occasion which is cooler nights in my idea.
Hats off for three perfumers who made this masterpiece.

I don’t remember what the year it had been 2009 or 2010(cause in Ukraine we have a delay for fragrances), but when I watched the commercial with Vincent Cassel and his predator smile the very first time, I decided to buy it no matter what. I was sure that it could not be bad. That’s how commercial works.
After a while, I’d come to boutique and sniffed it – ‘love at first sight’.
I don’t remember how much bottles I’ve bought since then, but it’s always with me.
Magic, tasty, dirty moon in the bottle.

To me, it smells like nothing else. After the dry-down it’s very pleasant and I’m happy to add it to my collection. The opening, however, is shocking.
