new here, but saw this and I DO like this scent. I also am drawn to Gucci 2, many of John Varvatos offerings, and somewhat to Bvlgvri. (they’re vowels, it’s really okay to use them now that the Roman Empire is just in the movies, kids – serious.)

I think something like Mugler’s Angel for Men is pretty insane, although I like the shifts from top to heart to drydown in it (especially the sweet chocolate/leather/coffee notes in the middle). That fragrance is like watching angels attacking more than guarding you.

I also liked the drydown for La Nuit – to my palate it was like inhaling the scent of fresh linens that have been out in the sun for awhile, very pleasant and not overly vanillic in the least.

I got pleasantly lured in walking past the YSL counter to try it by a lovelly young sales assistant. Her enthusiasm was admirable and certainly helped me warm to the inoffensive and reasoably cosseting scent. I might like it more, if it cost less or at least the same as my more familar preferred perfumes.
If only I could handle that big nut…

Just bought La Nuit for someone as a switch from Armani Mania. It smelled great in the store. I have no idea what you smelled.

I think La Nuit is alright. But it’s just that – alright. I wont be buying a bottle.

Rossm: scads of men DO smell like L’Homme, don’t they?…its formula is pervasive

LOL – what a great review! I haven’t sampled La Nuit yet but I did have a sniff of L’homme at a Perfume Empire store and was also disappointed with it’s, in my personal opinion, standard, sleazy guy smell. Sorry no offense intended I’m sure it’s smells great on the right person! But the funny thing was the SA handed me the scent strip with a flourish and announced that this is how “all men should smell” and maybe with that particular grandiose statement I was expecting something slightly, I don’t know, just something different.
But I did leave the store thinking that yes, she was somewhat right, but most men DO smell like that anyway – when they choose to wear a scent anyway.
