What Reddit owners say
4/5 SweetnessFresh & clean“As it dries down, I'd say it bears some resemblance to YSL La Nuit de l'Homme with the warm spice and sweet woods.”
4/5“Yeah - I do a post workout shower at night and that's a good time to switch to something I feel like smelling but don't wear during the day. A lot of times I reach for YSL La Nuit de L'Homme. Cardamom is calming to me.”
5/5 Fall“Fall is perfect for La Nuit de l'Homme. I've got the original, but also Montagne's woodier clone of an older formulation.”
4/5“I have bleu de Chanel L'exclusif and YSL la Nuit de l'Homme- def some of my favorites. I have a decant of roja elysium and really enjoy it.”
4/5“agree with everyone that all you have is top notch! I have most of your bottles and I wouldn't let any go. personally my fave on the 2nd image is La Nuit De L'Homme. so good, just wish it lasted longer. trying to find LNDH Bleu Electrique.”

4/5“I want to ask you something, how do you describe la nuit de l'homme ? I got a sample of it because of the hype but it didn't strike me as a good men's perfume. I may be not getting some notes so I'm trying to adjust my perspective”
5/5 Longevity“I've got SWYI, La Nuit de L'Homme (which I love but it doesn't last long), V&R Dark Leather, Boss Bottles Absolu, Coral Fantasy, Castley, etc. and while I like all of those, none of them really blow me away.”
4/5 Value“Montagne - Bleu Talisman and La Nuit De Lhomme 2011 are really nice. I have smelled Blue Talisman at the stores and this is a very good clone. La Nuit De L'homme EDP - found it for a great price and it's the first version. I wanted it before the new one starts pushing this one out”
4/5 UniqueWinter“I have both but I have the Noir parfum which I think is better and more masculine. They are different and the Noir being more heavy and gourmandish, I would only wear it on cold nights and in the winter. The YSL is spicy and sexy and more of an everyday wear. La Nuit de L'Homme was my daily for multiple years.”

Not rated (no clear sentiment) Compliments“The Lattafa al Nashama Caprice is a discontinued YSL Y La Nuit de L'Homme Bleu Electrique and I layer it with Maison Alhambra Philos Messenger which is a clone of Sospiro Vibrato. I get tons of compliments from this combination.”
