La Nuit de L'Homme L'Intense Yves Saint Laurent 2015

Through my discovery of the perfume world, and by extension this community, as a man I couldn't help but get involved with one of the most fabled fragrances ever.

Yves Saint Laurent's La Nuit de L'Homme.

And yes, the regular, now available, watered down EdT, is really excellent, but just a bit pale and weak.

But pretty soon you realize that you can't get the vintage version, or let's say, not at a price at which it's worth it.

But my research has shown that there are fragrances that bring back the intensity of the original, in a slightly different way perhaps.

First I tested the new "Bleu Electrique" version, a really great scent, should definitely have it if you like the series. But as the perfectionist I am, I wanted of course all the other available versions also test.
And I feel the "L'Intense" version of it funnily enough as the better "ideological successor" of the EdT.

La Nuit de L'Homme L'Intense is a bit sweeter, has more depth than the EdT, and also a slightly more powdery feel.
But especially in the drydown, I find the scent to be what the soul of La Nuit de L'Homme is:
A cuddly, spicy-sweet, orienal, slightly erotic, masculine scent. With that certain charisma, which really only nobler houses or designers are able to create.

The performance of the perfume, so durability and charisma, I find really okay. I think the designer fragrances often intentionally design so that you just have to spray more often, even on clothes and hair, so that the fragrance is simply more evenly distributed and simply not too offensive.
So it remains more pleasant in the perception, the counterpart catches only every now and then an impression of your charisma. That also keeps it more interesting. ;)
And this expressive composition would certainly be too offensive, would it be so strong that a spray is enough.

L'Intense is unfortunately also no longer produced, but you can find it every now and then where quite affordable to buy on the Internet.

But actually I do not want you to do that anyway. So I'm left with more. ;P
