I think it's time for the community to demand better performance across the board. For the money paid for these fragrances performance should not even be a question. La Nuit is on my never buy again list. Great smell that is now a complete dog.
I'm in the minority on this fragrance. I have a bottle from June 2014, and it does what it's designed to do. I wear it for night use only (4 sprays and the after shave balm), and it gets many compliments. Why be disappointed? Where I'm from, the bars and clubs close at 2. If I go out at 10, this will perform nicely for 4+ hours. And that's all I need. For a cologne that's marketed for night use, I feel that it does exactly what it should do. But again, that's the minority opinion I suppose.
I was literally talking about this comparison with a friend minutes BEFORE you posted this video. The timing couldn't possibly be any better. Great video once again, looking forward to more soon.
Hi... i also have the 2012, and a 2014 (tester) and i dont get much difference, only thing is that my 2012 is a tiny bit stronger for about the first 20-25 mins... and yes the cap is more heavy on the older, and the juice is almost yellow, and only light yellow on the 2014... i get about 8-9 hours on each, with about 3 hours projection (for 3 sprays) Regards
I have 2013 batch and its strong on my skin to the point where I wear only 1 spray while in university class. 3 hours after I spray I still get strong whiffs on a single spray. I am not the type of person who likes frags that project 6+ feet either. The dry down of La Nuit really is amazing. I prefer La Nuit over my birch batch of Aventus.
Thanks for this. I actually bought a 200ml by mistake last year. It was on sale, so I didn't realize until I got home. Good thing it was a 2012 batch, right? Good mistake.
Under some reasons i ended up with a lot of old perfumes and this 2012 la nuit de l'homme is one of it. The perfumes are new. Do you think it still have value in market ? I am trying to get rid the one that not good to use/give to people anymore and the one that still in demand. Which 2012-2018 perfumes that you think i still in great demands.
Dan - great video. I think you and Claire did a great job comparing the 2012 and 2015 La Nuit de L'Hommes. I own 2011, 2012 and 2013 bottles after selling my 2015 bottle last year. I got these older bottle by doing exactly what you did - going to a local drugstore. I found bottles at the back of the shelf (the newer ones always being put in front at the store I went) and could tell right away based on the bar code on the older boxes being different than the newer ones.
Great comparison Mr. Smelly. I own a 2015 bottle that I bought early last year and probably won't be buying another one anytime soon. It's still a great scent and people who love it can just go heavy on the trigger and carry an atomizer. I vote for The One over GIT this time.
Luckily for me I got a 2011 batch when I was a freshman in highschool. I still have 70% of the juice left in my 3.3 bottle. My girlfriends favorite juice in my collection . She notices the differences in the new 2018 compared to the 2011
great video...The 2011 is even better than that...I owned 2 of them at one point and it made accepting the new versions hard to do...Claire is always too cool...Enjoyed watching...
Weird that book was behind my right shoulder on my Canoe review (he only mentions Canoe bitching that several fourgeres are cheapened). OK probably right but he like all of us are biased from life experience. Look at the Azzaro Pour Homme review and then look at YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme. I do not see how one edges out the other with Azzaro getting the 5 star rating unless you take into past memories. Good reference to have and a good reason to review fragrances imo. I was ripped off buying the new YSL and made me love Valentino Uomo Intense. Great video/review. Yves Rocher Cuir Vetiver I vote for again.
I've got two vintage bottle's 100ml 2009 batch , one with a box and the second bottle a tester, batch codes 9LAA and 9FAA Found them in a local store in Saudi Arabia for 120$ for two bottles 😂 (seller didn't know what he had), i think i was sooooo lucky , on my skin last +14 hour's !!!! , i have also 2018 batch that last +8 hours on my skin they are pretty close but the vintage is richer darker and more spicy
I definitely agree with your take, the older bottle is a lot better but not worth crazy prices. I'm lucky enough to own a bottle of the original formula and it is miles apart from even the first reform. Have you ever tried the early versions of DHI?
I definitely agree with your take, the 2012 is a lot better than current bottles but not worth crazy prices. I'm lucky enough to own a bottle of the original formula and that's miles apart from the first reform, let alone the current ones. Have you ever tried the early versions of DHI?
but what ive seen from other review vintage 2009 has a dark yellowish color, mine has a bit light color that. but all the features like hollow cup, big sprayer, box was there. im just confused with the color of the juice. your thoughts?..
good detective job, Dan! perhaps in the next season of sherlock they can crack this mystery and put it to bed for good. i bet moriarty may have had something to do with it :) seriously though, la nuit IS a different scent today compared to what it was when it was first released. i was never into it to begin with, always preferred ysl l'homme to the flanker, but never bought it either because of its piss-poor performance. the only one from the l'homme line i have is l'homme pafrum intense, which i bought off a huge sale, and even that one is plagued by performance issues. i think lack of longevity and projection makes the whole line irrelevant to me. not that any were great scents to write home about to begin with. anyway, my two hryvniyas :)
Gorgeous smurfy ...talking of la homme and nuit , have you tried Jo malones "dark amber and ginger Lilly ? It's a spit of la homme . Let me know what both you and the brilliant Dan think . Keep up the good work
for me its just a channel for the masses. so i watch and listen bottom note or lfsg for example. and if i really like a reviewed fragrance, i sometimes go out and buy a 10ml sample.
I have a 6.7oz bottle of 2013 version Like an IDIOT, I used it as normal, then realized they REFORMULATED IT!! I have about 25% left! I stopped using it. I think its evaporating, but I hold to it, I WONT USE IT!
yeah the 2015 sucks... L'homme is even worse.. Over hyped fragrance.. Even the old version was never a really great performing fragrance.. it just was better than it is now.. I heard the new 2017 nuit is stronger.. Not sure the validity on that.
I think it's time for the community to demand better performance across the board. For the money paid for these fragrances performance should not even be a question. La Nuit is on my never buy again list. Great smell that is now a complete dog.
^^^MUCH AGREED!!
definitly
Amen to that!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Danny Policelli unfortunately it wasn't up to them to reformulate. However if you can get your hands on the vintage versions it's totally worth it imo
Never buy again!!!!

Just bought a 2009 bottle for buttons - amazing stuff. You haven't changed much Dan!
I've just bought a mid 2013 batch online.
I'm thinking if is the same formulation of the 2012 batch.
One vote for Acqua di Gio Profumo, please.

Heard that one has peppery note in the top that isn't in the 2013 batches
Let's keep the Icon train rolling... please count my vote for the Dunhill masterpiece!!!!
Has la nuit de l'homme been reformulated since 2017 ?
Are still current batches 2019/2020 same to you guys ?
Huge respect for you..pioneer of fragrance reviewer industry
Thanks for this. I actually bought a 200ml by mistake last year. It was on sale, so I didn't realize until I got home. Good thing it was a 2012 batch, right? Good mistake.
Dior Homme parfum is my favourite so far. Great video as always.

Great review. I have read that 2016 batches are stronger. Would love to hear your expert take on this. Thanks.
Hello gentleman, what do you think about 2017 batch???
Great video Dan, unique as always.
Count my vote for Valentino uomo intense
Come on, Sauvage fans. Please get to the polls and vote for this masterpiece.
I couldn't help but cringe on the amount of sprays just to test!
Great job as always... Really appreciate these comparison videos... ^_^
Dan thank you so much!! Keep it up man.
Have no problem getting 8-10 hrs from the 2018 version & it’s easily detectable after 3-4 hrs sprayed on my clothing
Great comparison Mr. Smelly. I own a 2015 bottle that I bought early last year and probably won't be buying another one anytime soon. It's still a great scent and people who love it can just go heavy on the trigger and carry an atomizer.
I vote for The One over GIT this time.
Luckily for me I got a 2011 batch when I was a freshman in highschool. I still have 70% of the juice left in my 3.3 bottle. My girlfriends favorite juice in my collection . She notices the differences in the new 2018 compared to the 2011
I have the 2011 batch as well lasted 10+ hours
I thought he said "dont worry, she only had a coffee". I literally had a burst out laughing while drinking moment in real life!! holy shit..
Martin lmaaaooooo
Do local pharmacies sell many fragrances?! I need to start visiting them too see if I can find any gems!
Could someone please tell me the weight of the caps before and after 2015? Would help me a lot :)
great video...The 2011 is even better than that...I owned 2 of them at one point and it made accepting the new versions hard to do...Claire is always too cool...Enjoyed watching...
Acqua di Gio Profumo please!
What is that music 14:00?
Thank you.
Where can you still get older versions of this fragrance?
What was the batch code
i Vote for Dior Savage. Great video. I buy YSL La Nuit de L'Homme 2015 :/ so sad...
I vote for Dior Sauvage
does the reformulation only make the performance weaker or it is affected the smell also?
Nothing competes the Vintage la nuit it has more ingredients and deeper smells so much better than current reformulation 2015 ,2016 and 2017
Weird that book was behind my right shoulder on my Canoe review (he only mentions Canoe bitching that several fourgeres are cheapened).

P.s vote in league table for Guerlain L'Homme Ideal EDP
I've got two vintage bottle's 100ml 2009 batch , one with a box and the second bottle a tester, batch codes 9LAA and 9FAA
Found them in a local store in Saudi Arabia for 120$ for two bottles 😂 (seller didn't know what he had),
i think i was sooooo lucky , on my skin last +14 hour's !!!! , i have also 2018 batch that last +8 hours on my skin they are pretty close but the vintage is richer darker and more spicy

Have you ever tried the early versions of DHI?
Whats the batch code on your 2012 bottle?
one vote for Virgin Island Water, great channel and thanks for the sub Mr Smelly.
Out of curiosity, which fragrances are recommended the highest in the book?
Can someone please tell me where you can find the batch codes on The La Nuit boxes??
I can't find them...only on the bottom of the bottles:I
Look very closely on the bottom of the box and they should be indented there. Often very small and very hard to read through cellophane.
MrSmelly1977 Okay thanks!👍
just bought a 2012 batch never before opened for $215 cheapest i could find
how do I add my vote to your new challenge?
Great video, Dan! I think that perfume book guy is a hack, btw. Lol

Gorgeous smurfy ...talking of la homme and nuit , have you tried Jo malones "dark amber and ginger Lilly ?
It's a spit of la homme .
Let me know what both you and the brilliant Dan think .
Keep up the good work
AdG Profumo is medicine scent
Valentino Uomo Intense !
seriously...this is an average fragrance, which feds you up very quickly. jeremy hyped it to the universe, and everbody followed his call blindly.
with average i mean average designer. not even concluding niche.
S XB maybe the new version...
i never trusted that bitch.
lol. the word bitch hasnt ever been more appropriate.
for me its just a channel for the masses. so i watch and listen bottom note or lfsg for example. and if i really like a reviewed fragrance, i sometimes go out and buy a 10ml sample.
Ich stimme für Dior Sauvage, finde den einfach toll!
Vote for Acqua di Gio Profumo
I have a 6.7oz bottle of 2013 version
Like an IDIOT, I used it as normal, then realized they REFORMULATED IT!!
I have about 25% left!
I stopped using it.
I think its evaporating, but I hold to it, I WONT USE IT!
I have 62K106 batch..january 2013..Is this good?I have 3 testrs bottle of these :)
yeah the 2015 sucks... L'homme is even worse.. Over hyped fragrance.. Even the old version was never a really great performing fragrance.. it just was better than it is now.. I heard the new 2017 nuit is stronger.. Not sure the validity on that.
It sucks as well my friend.... smells very good but the sillage and logevity dont reach even 2 hours ....
I have a 2017. Not good. 3 hours max.
I give it 5 .. max it’s a little bit Boring and it’s not strong also
Vote for acqua di gio profumo.
La Nuit
Acqua Di Gio Profumo
And the 2016 version is even weaker... which is more than absurd.
