This one gets more flack than it deserves

I hesitantly grabbed this one off of FragranceNet as it gets a lot of hate. I like the edt LNDL, but don’t think it lasts long enough (as does the rest of civilization). I saw the 50/50 love/hate propaganda that surrounds it, and decided to give it a shot, as I can’t find it anywhere that I can test it out in person.

When I gave it the first blast, I was pleasantly surprised. I get a very nice, very spicy feel in the opening. Not the same as, but similar to the Spicebomb Infrared, or maybe even Fahrenheit (remember that I’m saying “maybe” or “kind of” in the comparisons). It opens with this spiciness, and slowly creeps into a sweeter feeling version of the edt. Not bad at all. I enjoy it a lot.

Performance is great on my skin as well. The projection bubble is a tight 2-3ft radius, but the sillage lingers just long enough, and longevity, although close, is a solid 8hours.

So if you can find it to test, by all means give it a shot. If you’re thinking of a blind buy, you better really enjoy the edt, and remember that the opening has a very red feeling, chili pepper-esque spiciness to the opening. After all, the community either loves it or loathes it.

La Nuit Elixir

There are very few fragrances that are as daring and have an opening as bombastic as this. As an intermediate level fragrance collector, I own, have owned and smelled an obscene amount of fragrances and it is very rarely that I am caught off-guard by a fragrance, especially one of designer sensibilities.

Any fragrance connoisseur knows the original La Nuit - this flanker is a bold and daring departure from that legendary DNA to darker and more adventurous territory and let us unpack it very briefly: This is a dense and enveloping fragrance loaded to the rafters with cardamom, leather and Tonka to create an aura of fire around any so daring as to wear the scent.

The opening is loud, sweet and truly dense on first application. It quickly becomes apparent that this scent is something of a monster and addresses the very well documented performance issues of the OG La Nuit while striking harmony between the core elements of the original and evolving the scent with the inclusion of the leather and Tonka. This EDP does come across more masculine and is a dangerous item to have in one’s arsenal on colder days and those evening excursions.

From the onset, all of the new accords are on full display and they gradually make their way to the front as the freshness at top subsides. After which, the leather and Tonka become the most prominent and these are accompanied by a slight powdery texture, while the famed cardamom retreats to a supporting background role on this iteration as opposed to being the protagonist like on the original.

The scent opens warm, rich, sweet and very sensual with a quick bite from the grapefruit, which quickly retreats, with a dash of powdery dustiness from the lavender herein. This phase of the fragrance is very short-lived, which makes this version come across as less fresh, at least, when compared with the original.

Once the stars of the show, the leather and the Tonka, take center stage, the fragrance becomes smoother and even more elegant with the emergence of the sandalwood which polishes the scent slightly while mixing in a slight woody element.

When comparing the two, the EDT is more attention grabbing and may be favored more by the general public but I favor this EDP a bit more as it feels more creative and a step away from some of the traditional leanings of mainstream fragrances, making it slightly more unique while still keeping some of the designer mass-appeal.

Naturally, this will be a cold weather and night-time scent as I suspect it may grow slightly cloying in high-heat situations. As earlier indicated, the fragrance does perform very well – Lasting cleanly through entire work days with a few feet of projection around the first two hours of application and gradually growing closer and eventually resting as a skin scent which you won’t have to work very hard to locate at the end of your day.

Overall, here is my rating:
Scent: 8/10
Pricing: 7/10
Versatility: 7/10
Longevity: 8/10
Projection: 8/10

Decent but nothing unique

This might be my least favourite parfume from my collection, this doesn't mean i hate it, This is also my most complimented fragrance. People love it, like most in YSL's L'Homme line. Spicy, leathery but too leathery, a little bit sweet, somewhat smokey and woody Really nice scent but it's not really for me because of the leather. Sillage & longevity are both decent. If you love cardamom you will like this. It ain't revolutionizing the fragrance world but will get the job done for sure.

Blind buy goat

This is arguably the best blind buy you can possibly do. It has a powdery iris opening that just makes you wanna sniff even harder. There is genuinely times I smell this and wanna yell its so good. Idk how it’s fallen this under the radar but it is the actual best designer smell I’ve ever smelled. If you’re just looking to smell masculine, get women, or just smell inviting in general in the office: you cannot go wrong.

Sex in a bottle

Hello dear community,

I have now been regularly wearing the EdP version of the much-loved La Nuit series for several months and would like to share my experience and opinion with you.

When I started to delve deeper into this hobby at the beginning of the year, I, like most people, stumbled upon the La Nuit series. In particular, I wanted to try the highly praised original version of the EDT. It was hyped by well-known YouTubers, which made me curious. So, I went to a large department store and immediately looked for the YSL shelves... After finding all the La Nuits, I grabbed the EdT and sprayed it on my wrist... First thought: “Phew, this is kind of musty and not for me at all...” [...] “Never mind, it’s just the top note, wait a bit...,” I thought.
(It is said that the older batches cannot be compared to the new ones; I cannot confirm or comment on this, as I have never smelled the old batches...).

A few bottles later, I noticed another bottle, red-black, same bottle style, same lettering, but Eau de Parfum... “Oh, the same as EdP? I have to test this right away!” I thought.
I immediately took the bottle in hand and sprayed it on my other wrist “Wow, this is intense! And damn sexy!” [...] Yes, with the EdP, I immediately had that wow effect that the EdT didn’t give me...

So the first impression was amazing! To test the longevity, sillage, and development of the EdP, I sprayed myself with 4-5 sprays and spent some time outside...
About 3 hours later, when I got home, I greeted my partner and her comment was: “What do you have on this time? It smells and practically calls for sex... xD [...].

Well, the scent had already blown me away from the start, but this compliment finally convinced me to make a purchase. So I searched online for a good price and found one. Thus, I ordered the large 100ml bottle...
A few days later, I went to a restaurant for a team dinner with my colleagues... When I hugged the female colleagues to greet them, one said with a wink: “Mmm, so who are you trying to pick up today? You smell very attractive.” [...]

After a few weeks of wearing it, I noticed that it doesn’t necessarily project a huge scent cloud, meaning the sillage is rather mediocre. But the longevity is all the better; on my skin, it lasts a strong 8-9 hours! I even sprayed it on my wrist again last night before going to bed and could still perceive it well after waking up.

The scent opens refreshingly and spicy, the grapefruit stands out right from the opening and instantly lifts your mood. The cardamom stays a bit subdued but still gives it the exotic spice for a masculine touch. After a while, I perceive the lavender; although it doesn’t belong to my favorite notes (at least so far), it adds a pleasant - and fitting to the grapefruit - additional freshness to the scent. As it develops, it becomes fruity or honey-sweet (that’s how I perceive it); it could and should be the absolute... In the dry-down, the sandalwood brings this sensually warm, oriental flair that I really like. The patchouli and vetiver also make the scent earthy and woody-herbaceous, which contributes to its long-lasting nature. Overall, this EdP has a very dynamic development, which I really enjoy.

I also let a few buddies smell the scent... The consensus among them: “This is a scent for one-night stands...” :D
[...]

Conclusion:
As mentioned above, this scent does not have what you would call monster sillage; you have to get close to smell it. But on the skin, it is all the more intense. And I think that’s intentional. I didn’t even care about the EDT anymore, as the EdP convinced me so much. This is truly a very attractive, sensual, and erotic scent that, despite a minimal synthetic quality, is very seductive to women... Regarding the seasons, I think you can wear it in every season except high summer (it would be way too strong for me then). But rather in the evening; I see it less during the day...
You should give it a chance, as I think it really smells incredibly sexy, sexy, and once again sexy!
[...].

And I thank everyone as always for reading and wish you all the best!

Best regards
