"Son of a Bit*h"
For man, true, mysterious, sensual, captivating, manly and fragile at the same,but still keeps this note masculine characters to say " I'm here, feel me, approach to me and falls under my spell without turning you .. ."
A quintessence that is eaten on her man for hours so you get lost in it ... Seducer's perfume par excellence, elixir of Love, of character, where passion collide as the effluvia shots Lightning ... YSL has succeeded, hats Down!
PS:True story. I have a female friend when she smell it, Her nipples instantly get hard...

Sensual and mysterious
La Nuit de l'Homme is very woodsy. You have been warned. Woodsy yet clean, this fragrance does have that undeniable classic charm to woo the ladies.

I preferred this particular release over the original L'Homme, due to its darker nature. I like my men to smell mysterious, and this fragrance captures that essence well.

La Nuit de l'Homme may be simplistic, but its basic composition works well. Opening with peppery woods and a boozy rum-like note, this fragrance screams masculinity. A touch of soapiness appears a few seconds into the heart which hints that its wearer, although dangerous, is classy and cool.

Does this fragrance evoke a feeling of a night out on the town? I would say yes, however I'd also encourage those to wear it casually during Winter as well.

Whatever...
La nuit de who? This is la nuit de le 12 years old sipping a Diet Coke and smoking puff cigarettes. A disappointing, juvenile and cheap lavender-cardamom-woody-tobacco “club scent” smelling like YSL L’Homme layered with Declaration, Lanvin Avantgarde and/or Armani Code, inexplicably relating “night” with a bright, sweetish, teenish vibe. Lasting like a fart - which is good, though: the barely-perceivable drydown is almost enjoyable. If “ladies love this” then either I don’t understand a thing about women or we agree to disagree on the concept of “ladies”. Meh!

5/10

~ Man of the Night ~
What can you possibly say about a fragrance that has been "Over Hyped" from every angle? The one testimony to it's greatness is despite the myriads of reviews and recommendations it hasn't become a victim of it's own success. The opening of cardamom, bergamont and lavender are perfect for this Holiday season as is the powdery woody dry down for almost any cooler time of the year. It's not overly complex but it is almost like two scents (both a fresh and oriental) in the same bottle. So don't judge it too quickly if put off by the strong cardamom opening as it settles down quite smoothly with a hint of gourmand'ish sweetness that borders on uni~sex. Not as dark or manly as the name would suggest but a very sensual and intoxicating scent that's sure to please. ~

Scent ~ 8.5/10 Luv the Lavender note.
Sillage ~ 7/10 This score of seven is perfect for close quarters.
Longevity ~ 7/10 Just the right amount of life for a night on the town.

La nuit de l'Homme is a scent that is frequently evoked when guys search for a womanizer / pantydropper / clubbing scent. On youtube you see lots of positive reviews, women are said to go crazy when smelling this stuff.
After I got a sample vial of this scent today I sprayed it on my arm about an hour ago (edit: this was in september 2011). So, I'd like to tell you what I think of it. Maybe you guys are interested in a lady's opinion - though I have to admit that my taste is sure not representative.
The first thing that came to my mind after spraying was that it was very sweet and quite ordinary. Not bad, but not special at all. Though I really like wearing guys' scents I would never wear this one. Despite of its sweetness it screams masculinity. Well, from a neutral point of view it probably doesn't but it has some notes and accords that everyone knows from men's deodorants and cheap after-shafe. Maybe the minty note (not in the pyramid) and some sort of synthetic lavender are responsible for this. Unfortunately I don't get the cardamom.
This description may sound very bad - but actually it is not. Following this poor start the scent develops and gets slightly sweeter. It starts smelling really nice and attractive. Not so special, but very pleasant. It probably works fine for clubbing when the target group consists of younger girls who are probably not experienced perfumistas. A very complex scent would probably tend to overcharge.
This is a pleasant one, you just can't go wrong with ist. It is definitely better than no scent at all (that's not always the case in my opinion). It does have presence, but it is not intrusive. Could become a best-seller like Boss Bottled. I would like to smell it on a man although talking about sweet frags I would personally prefer something more classy like a Guerlain (l'instant extrême for example).

Fresh spicy opening with bergamot, lavender and cardamom. Then the lavender gets smoother, sweeter, perfectly blended with more spices.

Spicy, refined, not at all heavy, it's wonderful on my feminine skin too. Very noticeable the cardamom touch. Perfect in the mid-cold season

Pretty simple scent. Cardamom, lavender, hints of woods and very light citrus. Quite the crowd-pleaser. People adore cardamom.

Herbal and sweet, with a hint of woods. LNDL smells great, and remains a worthy pick for a date or evening over a decade later.
