What wearers say
“Reminiscent of la nuit de l'homme, but not a clone.A sweeter, cheaper smelling version of it, with very poor longevity and sillage. Not a bad scent by any means, it has an alcohol strong opener with a vanilla/cardamom drydown. Ok bang for the buck, but don't expect ysl quality.”
“Basically a clone of La Nuit De L’Homme, closer to Blue Electrique in the dry down (I own both), and somehow worse performance than both of those. Smells great obviously but just get the YSLs unless cost is an issue since this is cheaper.”
“Nice sweeter kind of scent that is similar to Guerlain's L’Homme Ideal (2014) but somewhat less sweet so more towards the L’Homme Ideal Intense. On my cotton T-shirt it is and remains sweet, on my hand it is sweet at first which disappears to half and becomes more woody.”
