A Delightful study in Contrasts
Comfortable with being used for a quiet evening in front of a cozy fire with your loved one or being used prior to a sweaty game of city league basketball, this broadly appealing evening cologne adds intrigue and confidence not commonly found together in one fragrance. Salient enough to be noticed, subtle enough to never offend, rich enough to be sophisticated, and affordable enough to find a home on many deserving shelves, YSL demonstrates yet again that they do their homework before releasing a fragrance. Well suited to anything dusk and evening bring.

Unfortunate, smells nothing like original Formula.
Smells nothing like the one from 14', my wife purchased this as a gift for me as she bought one originally for our engagement and I just recently ran out of it, for me personally i'll be honest I think it seems a little too feminine (more on the floral side). Nonetheless it's decent I guess, I still prefer the old formula by a landslide, this one is exponentially weak in terms of performance, it feels as if it disappears after 1-2 hours. Not something I would look to purchase again.

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our La Nuit De L'Homme Eau De Toilette Spray. We are honored that this scent was part of your engagement journey. We are sorry to hear that this latest bottle did not live up to your memories of the 2014 edition. While we strive for consistency, variations in natural ingredients or changes in skin chemistry over time can influence both the scent profile and its longevity. Your feedback regarding the floral lean and the performance is incredibly valuable to our team. If you are looking for a scent with a more robust performance similar to what you originally loved, our beauty advisors would be happy to suggest a more intense alternative from our collection.

AMAZING
My husband is very hard to please but he loves this one and i am so glad! It smells like heaven. I wish they had a womens scent in this I WOULD BUY IT NOW!! I found out many of the stars wear this as well, so we do have good taste among designers.

A Must have
I have both 'La Nuit de L'Homme' & 'L'Homme.' I wear 'La Nuit de L'Homme' at night and it's brother 'L'Homme' at during the day. I get a lot of complements from the ladies, they love it. Words truly cannot describe this juice. It is a must have in your collection.

Bought for Hubby
I love this cologne. First time I smelled it was in a Nordstrom catalogue and instantly fell in love I describe it as a "sexy" smell. My husband really liked it too. So I purchased it for him for Christmas and know he will enjoy getting it Christmas morning. It is not overpowering but just right and like I said "sexy." My husband is 30 a sports fan, professional, and knows what he likes and doesn't like. I don't think anyone could go wrong w/purchasing the scent especially for a gift.

Oh my God...
I first smelled this as an advertisement in a magazine, let me say it didnt do it justice. I purchase this for my boyfriend and it smells amazing! He doesn't wear it every day, but when he does...

My Favorite Scent From My Collection
I tried this at the store when I was passing by and let it linger on my skin for a couple hours and I knew before I went home that this was going to be a winner. I've gone through 2 large bottles of this and I have yet to be tired of it. It smells fresh, yet not overpowering (which is a problem I have with a lot of fragrances since I get headaches and allergies from other strong scents), but also unique. I always get compliments everywhere I go with this on. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new fragrance or for gifting! I gave my dad a bottle and he loves it too.
