But this one just didn't work for me because of the caraway, even though it isn't the dominant note.

This leans 70% masculine, but it actually beats other masculine fragrances because its sweetness is more akin to an alcoholic drink rather than the safe and cloying caramel/vanilla that some other masculine scents constantly retreat into to appear nice. I was never really interested in YSL but I wore the samples, gave some away, and then I forgot about it.It starts off with a big blast of grapefruit that is quite harsh, but after about ten minutes it settles down to a more enjoyable scent.

A veil of mystery and an explosive spicy accord reveal cardamom with sparkling freshness of bergamot, lavender and cedar, which stand for strength of men. Look at it this way; you'll feel good everytime you spray this, experiencing the divinity of the scent every single time. I tried on while working and I learned that this fragrance works best in working and stressful areas. With the 2023 bottle I have, L'Oreal replaced those notes that puts La Nuit de l'Homme on top of the fragrance world and instead made it soft, floral, soapy and with a touch of powder. I think this confusion stems from the name: it says La Nuit De L'Homme, so it *must* be a nighttime fragrance, right?From the onset, all of the new accords are on full display and they gradually make their way to the front as the freshness at top subsides. You could still perceive the richness and depth on a 2017 bottle, after that, it’s a stripped and massacred façade of a legendary name. My bread-and-butter signature scent during most of my uni years, and even some time after that, was the original L'Homme which at the time I first smelled it in 2015, blew my mind. Absolutely love the opening on this one, but on my skin goes straight into leather then cardamom then tonka. The leather note here is not sitting at the front of this bus and the tonka bean is a very welcomed addition that keeps the fragrance from getting too dark.

I initially smelt it via a tester at Sephora, and it was love at first sniff, the cardamom gives a nice warm spicy feeling and the lavender is soothing, it's perfectly blended. Recently, I had the misfortune of trying this perfume which to my utter dismay, the product was nothing short of a disaster. The projection is great for the first hour and even less, but it lasts for maybe 2 hours until it eventually becomes more of a skin scent. The scent, which barely clung to the skin, was reminiscent of diluted scented water rather than the luxurious fragrance I was anticipating.The Creed Aventus message boards all harp on how old bottles of aventus were darker and smokier and longer lasting and all the new ones are much brighter and weaker. If you think perfume can fix your graphic tee, cargo shorts, sandals, and sexual frustrations then I want you to avoid this powdery slightly spicy gem. This impacts the ability of the fragrance to last and around eighty percent of the oils in an EDT fragrance will evaporate within three hours of application.
