The cardamom bomb
Right off the bat, I've never smelled the 2010 version of LNDL that this fragrance is supposed to be based on, only the current version. I sprayed on Midnight Rendezvous and thought a little later: "Yes, smells pretty much like my LNDL". However, the two fragrances are not as equal as I would have thought from the first impression.
I own a filling of the current YSL La Nuit de L'Homme as well as a sample of the normal "L'Homme" in addition to Dua Midnight Rendezvous. So I sprayed the former on a t-shirt for comparison. One squirt of MR on the left sleeve, two squirts of YSL LNDL on the right. What I noticed immediately, and even more as I went on, was that the current LNDL is noticeably fresher than MR (which is probably what user Carpintero means by "watered down"). The bergamot comes out more in the LNDL and the scent goes much more in the direction of the regular L'Homme than the Dua version. With MR, on the other hand, the freshness quickly fades into the background and a thick cloud of cardamom comes at you. "Extrait de Parfum" says it all here, because it really smells like an extract of the sweet and spicy part of the current LNDL. And that is at the same time the reason for the significantly better performance of the MR: 36 hours later, the original LNDL on the shirt was almost no longer perceptible, that MR against it still clearly.
Who likes the LNDL in its current version and just wants to have better durability, can in principle just stay with the original and spray on more or add more. However, I clearly prefer the "cardamom bomb" of Dua
