I recently bought 5/10 of the ones on that list as Christmas presents to myself, along with other frags (I went uncharacteristically crazy with purchases). I'll post my experiences when I've tried them out for a little while.
One of the ones I bought was La Nuit de L'Homme after trying out a Sephora sample. I know it lasts only a few hours, but I had an experience with it I could scarcely believe: I think the fragrance actually aroused a girl sitting next to me, and not in a small way. She always acts pretty masculine, and after she slid next to me in class with her normal behavior, and just sitting there for a couple of moments, her legs tightened together for the rest of class, and she became very girlish, giggly, and happy; she became flirtatious with me, kept leaning in to get a better smell, made quiet, sexual sounding moans, and her whole body language and demeanor was completely different. It was during that class I knew I had to buy a big bottle of that stuff. That's got to be beginners luck.
How's the performance for La Nuit?
I heard it got ruined by all the reformulations it has gotten.
I got two hours of projection (probably foot length for 1.5 hours), and it lasts four to five hours in total. On that occasion, I used six sprays, but it was from a Sephora sample, which sprays more lightly than the bottle (17-18 sprays per ml for the 2ml sample, as opposed to the 9-11 sprays per ml from the actual bottle that the Sephora girl filled the sample with); with six sprays from the sample, it was a little too much, whereas five sprays is perfect. I was planning on using 3 sprays from the bottle itself, with an extra spray or two from a decant to freshen it up.
I think a 200ml bottle has at least 1,800 sprays in it. I heard the old formulation had a little sharper smell to it.
The current performance is adequate for something like a date, a party, a nice evening event, or any time you only need it for a few hours. I'm excited to use my newly arrived bottle, but I think I'll gift it to myself on my birthday.
Yes, my experience with the recent la nuit has been similar when I tried it at Sephora. For me, it had projection of around arm's length for 1-1.5 h, then the scent bubble got progressively closer to the body and it eventually a became a skin scent in about 3 hours. I tried the edp version but the smell is quite different compared to the edt in my opinion.
Have any of you guys tried CH Men Prive? This one seems to have good reviews and I was considering buying it.
