Dark Barbershop

Scentrack: Serge Gainsbourg - Black Trombone

In my opinion a very successful YSL flanker, unfortunately not so popular. It opens up with oriental mix of anise and pepper reminding me of Opium pour Homme, with small dose of soft barbershop lavender. The fullness of fragrant body is fulfilled by sweet fruity ester notes, like candied fruits coated in chocolate. Resins and pale vetiver give another masculine touch, ending with gentle and peaceful vanilla.
Not so loud as EdT, more rounded, more mystical and less synthetic. Sexy, but somehow cool.
Wear EdT if you're single, and Le Parfum if you have a special lady in your heart.

Quality for A Close Encounter Moments

Bearing the legendary name of La Nuit de L'homme made me pull the trigger to buy the Le Parfum edition. Presentation-wise, the box, bottle, sprayer, and printing quality are what you expect from a high-end fashion house. No complaint.
The scent itself opens with dominant black pepper and other spices that remind me of licorice, even though there is no licorice listed on the notes. The scent continues to develop in a deeper and sweeter direction. More to the dry down, the mix of vetiver and hint of powdery note come up to close the scent development as the sweetness fade away. Overall, La Nuit de L'homme Le Parfum is a classy, mysterious, and mature scent. The all-black flacon is just perfect to describe the scent. No doubt it's high quality. It's kinda a no-joke CEO if I can personate this fragrance.
Performance on my skin sadly not a beast. Longevity is around 5 hours with very close-to-the-skin projection.

Deeper more mature La nuit

A deeper, mature and more sophisticated version of La nuit de l'homme, for a gentleman 28/30+ not so much for a younger crowd.
More powerful and mature fragrances then is older brother.

PS: I think it has been reformulated, my version 2015 (more or less) is much more stronger, spicier and less fruity and lasts 8 hours easily. The last time I've tried this one on store (2017) it was much much lighter, more fruity, less spicy and overall lackluster.

a more mature side of la Nuit

First off I’d like to clarify that I’m not as head over hills with the “original” La Nuit de l’Homme as most of the people in here, in fact I don’t own it but I do own 3 of the flankers. Despite how much I appreciate it and feel I should get it sooner or later I don’t believe it lives up to the insane hype. I’ve tested it (a reformulation) and while I feel it’s worth having and a great date scent it’s not the frag “to rule them all”.

That being said, I love what they did with Le Parfum and how they improved on a formula that already proved to be a winner. I do miss the cardamom but I love how the fruity notes interact with and take La Nuit to whole new level. I also love the idea of including vanilla but I was hardly able to notice it so that’s perhaps my only issue, the absence of said vanilla.

If La Nuit de l’Homme was a 30 year old guy I’d say Le Parfum is a 40 year old. A more seasoned version, just as sexy but a different kind of sexy so please, don’t dress Le Parfum down, embrace the full experience since this is a gentleman’s fragrance.

Longevity is ok, average perhaps and sillage is moderate but a gentleman is never loud, he is subtile, does not draw attention for the wrong reason.

A spicy scent for cool nights

I am not the biggest fan of the scent profile of La Nuit de L'Homme Eau de Toilette and of its flankers, although I do enjoy it somewhat. It has this talcum heart note that I have trouble going past.

Well, La Nuit de l'Homme Le Parfum keeps this DNA but makes spicier (as in pepper spicy) and more herbacious in the drydown, especially with the patchouli. I genuinely think it is a great direction for a flanker, as it makes the whole scent feel more mature and darker. The lavender makes it feel soapier, which is also welcome.

The performance is fairly short, with little to no sillage after an hour, and around 4-5 hours longevity on my skin.

While I like this perfume, I don't see myself buying another decant.
