Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - La Nuit de L'Homme L'Intense Parfum
This 'intense' flanker is anything but, leaving many underwhelmed by its lacklustre performance and divergence from the original DNA. However, fans still cherish its unique, seductive iris and vanilla blend, especially given its discontinued status.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Dark Night EDP
A budget read on YSL La Nuit de L'Homme L'Intense. The powdery iris-and-violet lipstick accord and cozy tonka sweetness land well, but like the discontinued original the projection is shy - this take wears even closer to the skin and loses a little of the iris depth.
