Very helpful Review

Show original
Thank you, YSL!
Never would I still have expected that it would happen....
I've been through almost all of the flankers in the La Nuit series, except for the Frozen Cologne, which I couldn't get my hands on at a normal price. Each of these Flanker liked me, however, the comparison to the original was always in the foreground or sometimes in the background... and each time I felt a little disappointment...
The original smells indeed mach his brutal reformulation still very good, but somehow it did not grab me so anymore, the magic was no longer there, and I wondered from year to year, why I could not satirize myself on this perfume.
When I heard that the 2020 batches were a lot better again, I went for it once more... the performance really did get a bit better in my eyes, but again, the magic wasn't there like it once was... or maybe my sense of smell has just changed?
And then came YOU....

When I heard that Duendlich was going right back to basics, I couldn't help but buy you blind
The First Sprayer.... Puffff.... Back in 2012! It's you! UNKNOWN!
The spiciness, YOUR magic, is back. I catch myself smelling it almost every minute.
For the first 2-3 hours, you're not imitating the retro original, no, you just are.
And then suddenly... am I smelling the dry, almost plummy iris from the Intense perfume, which was discontinued in 2019? It's not in the pyramid, but I mean to come into contact with the 'old' Intense note, which keeps reuniting with the original and detaching itself from it for a few minutes....I can't draw a comparison to Frozen Cologne, as I've never been able to test it myself, but I don't give a damn now after this gem...
When I wake up in the morning (about 12h after application), I smell again on my arm, and can still perceive the full base of the woods well, but no trace of the tonka bean of the original...
The durability, I find compared to the original terrific. The fragrance does not say goodbye after 2-3 hours completely. Also the sillage is a lot better (probably also by the spiciness finally used again) than you know it from the original... I would almost want to claim, it is back on the level of the 2012/2013 version (the first vintage version I unfortunately never owned, so I can not judge).
I am positively surprised and somewhat overwhelmed that YSL has finally decided or noticed that the original should not be neutered.
But why again a new Flanker, and then also in blue?
Yes, I know, because of the fashion, but with blue I would honestly not associate this fragrance!?
Had to get a new flanker, because the original through the years and reformulations has gotten a worse and worse reputation (rightly or unjustly be indeterminate)? I suspect yes, to advertise it then additionally as Intense... whether that will work and it will be a new Reisser of the series?
I'm not sure, I'm just more than grateful that I was allowed to fall in love with the fragrance again and feel 10 years younger again... Thanks for that, YSL!
