A greeting from the past
For me, the fragrance was at the time so close to the date of its release a real revelation. A friend wore him one evening to go out and I was immediately in love...in the fragrance, I knew the friend already longer ;-)
On the evening but has me the fragrance so flashed that I'm already in the coming week in the perfumery getigert to be able to call him my own.
Since then, a few years had passed, in which for reasons I can not quite explain myself today, this bottle was missing in my collection. But whenever I passed him on my forays in various department stores of this world, I felt a certain nostalgia. He reminded me of this one evening, as well as many others from this period of my life.
When I stumbled now a good year ago on an offer at an unbeatable price, landed Le nuit de l`Homme after a small eternity again in my possession.
I was too curious how I would judge this fragrance for me as a mid-twenties was the navel of the world, probably today.
My conclusion: Good remains good, that already times away from the front...
Today I can at least perceive a little more differentiated what this fragrance is actually about. He starts with bergamot and cardamom and it takes a while until I can perceive the peppery. On the other hand, the cedar wood is immediately present for me which sets a beautiful chord. Like so many fragrances that I like very much, this one is rather dry. An absolutely classic men's fragrance...clear, noble and dry.
The course is very linear, I feel no very big development after the first few minutes.
Which in itself is absolutely nothing bad, because the fragrance is great.
The eternal criticism of the durability remains. It is a real pity that YSL does not manage to give this classic something more Wumms. Whether that was different to the release at that time I can no longer say. Six hours are today the maximum in which I can perceive him and that only body close. There are definitely today quite different caliber in my collection.
Nevertheless, the fragrance remains simply wonderful and I still wear it.
Maybe nostalgia actually plays a role, because unlike many people and also the friend through which I was allowed to get to know La nuit de l`Homme back then, this fragrance still has a place in my life and reminds of other, perhaps simpler times.

Too late and too close for the big time
Writing a review of Aventus Cologne without mentioning the omnipresent big brother in every second sentence is probably a bit like describing Ralf Schumacher's career in Formula 1 without mentioning his big brother Michael.
Evil tongues could be inclined to claim that the existence of the career of the one just by the colossal success of the other was only possible.
I refrain from any speculation in this regard, of course.
But back to the matter at hand.
Aventus Cologne will probably never even begin to experience the success story of its big brother. On the one hand, it is simply because many consumers the
"a perfume that everyone finds so great" want to have and on the other hand but also because Aventus Cologne is simply no milestone (more). For this, certain similarities to the well-known original and of course to the various clones existing before Aventus Cologne are too obvious.
To the shadowy existence probably also contributes the unflattering name, which probably makes many inclined customers think of a watered-down original.
The marketing department could have gone here also a little more creatively to the work.
Similar and then yet different, so I personally feel this fragrance.
The DNA is felt to 60% the same and is of course based on the same high-quality natural components.
Main differences are the lack of the popular pineapple as well as the smoky.
Aventus Cologne is sharper, tangier extremely dry. Just somehow fresher summery...
Just that dryness latently reminds of Nishane Hacivat or even Bvlgari pour Homme Extreme.
The common thread here would be oakmoss, which occurs in both mentioned but at least officially in Aventus Cologne no use finds....but what does that mean ;-)
Not to blaspheme now but Aventus with a dash of D&G Light Blue comes to mind.
All in all, Aventus Cologne is an excellent fragrance for me. High quality and fantastically composed. For me currently even better contemporary and modern than the original.
Had it been granted to appear before his big brother, it could have been a real star.
Since the question of the hen or the egg in this case but simply does not arise, it will probably remain the flanker that it is just.
In itself fantastic but too little revolutionary, too close to the big star to still be able to provide real sensation.
The eternal fate of younger siblings of absolute exceptional talents.

My favorite dessert
At the time my first niche fragrance (I actually absolutely do not like the term and how niche is PDM actually still?) , my perception as well as the relationship to this fragrance has changed over the years.
A little like the favorite dessert, from which you could not get enough as a child and on which you have always looked forward to, yes demanded.
Fittingly, for me, this was always my grandma's (in my eyes, world's best) covered apple pie with vanilla ice cream. I will come back to this comparison later.
Apple and bergamot are what I first detect along with the ever intriguing bright, fruity, even somehow cheerful note of pink/red pepper wrapped in sweet vanilla.
But then quickly pushes a dry spiciness in the foreground in which I recognize the much-cited soul of many PDM`s. Sweet spice, almost always somewhere a touch of almond, warm and floral.
Sandalwood and patchouli become more and more present and provide in the further course for an above-average durability. A point that is very important to many people and due to the high density of natural ingredients of this quality always has its price.
To put it bluntly, you can smell the quality. A point with which I have dealt over the years more and more critical. Expensive is not equal to good, really good but also never cheap. And craftsmanship or the purely objective quality of the PDM's I think there is little to complain about.
Layton Comes to Stay. The progression on my skin is incredibly complex after a while, yet linear at its core.
So resonate with the time much more than the dominant perceived by me and described above notes through, the basic feeling, the vibe of the fragrance remains the same but sometimes the whole day. Just this shows in my eyes craftsmanship at the highest level.
The apple remains, the creamy vanilla remains, the lavender, the cardamom and of course the backbone-giving combination of pepper, sandalwood and patchouli are even after hours still differentiated perceptible and a room-filling force with appropriate application.
But what was there with the apple pie? My childhood dessert is of course still one of my absolute favorites.
Over the years, however, I've been allowed to expand my horizons and discover many other great sweet sins and .
Some fancier, some with more exotic ingredients and some perhaps even more creative. Nevertheless remains insanely delicious but still insanely delicious and on some days there is nothing better to this day!
Similarly it behaves with me with Layton. The fragrance is a dream and incredibly good, every time anew. I would only no longer ten out of ten times to him reach as at the time when my horizon in terms of perfumes was still much more limited and this was the first fragrance I perceived as a milestone for my nose.
Here's to sweet meats and individual taste!

Definitely different, better for me personally!
Right at the start it is there, this much-cited similarity to the uncrowned king of men's fragrances. At least it is easy to understand why this is made by some noses or their carriers.
But if you look from the fruity top note remains, not many similarities remain in my eyes.
Hacivat is comes in the drydown bone dry and woody therefore, which is due to the patchouli, cedar, the used amber and Clearwood combination. The musk has in my eyes decent weight even if it is missing in the listing of notes. It would have to be a combination of different musks, simply because of the complexity. The entire structure screams Orient and that's exactly what the fragrance carries in its heart, or rather, it wants to please this primary market. The benefit we Central Europeans can draw from it lies in the insane durability and power of this fragrance.
Where, in my opinion, the wheat is separated from the chaff and thus the comparison with Aventus fails, is, among other things, the absence of the oh so popular Ambroxan.
Hacivat dares to be different and not follow the blueprint after which so many fragrances have been created since the success of Aventus.
Wearable he is very versatile but I like him best in spring and summer. Especially in the sun, but caution is called for in the dosage, because as I said, Hacivat is potent, can also be too much!
Also to go out he is perfect because perceived the scent of everyone in the immediate vicinity.
What could have made this fragrance even better, would perhaps be a little more courage in the fruity top notes. A tick more into the citrus, a little more air under the wings, a little more PENG, would please me personally very well but like everything written so far this is of course subjective and represents only my personal opinion.
