MAN!!! It's been a crazy journey since I got into fragrances back in 2008!!! I miss the days of Tim (swettscoff if I remember his name), MyMickers (RIP buddy!), Guinea54/64 (dude that uploaded a funny video of a rapper that resembled you because everyone wanted to know how did you have that kind of money for fragrances LMAO!), Joey Cannoli (funny guy and reviewer!), and I am sure I am forgetting a few (FragStewie, JR)! You guys really were the pioneers that inspired the newer and younger generation of fragrance reviewers! It's always great to see you and you're still uploading and keeping us up to date! Really Appreciate it!
What makes Bleu Electrique so good is exactly what you're saying, its very close to the Original formulation of La Nuit. I absolutely love it, I'm sure you will as well after a few wearing's - honestly its like they put a little bit more of the original L'Homme on top of it.
@@pradeep_sekar Its a good thing bc now you don't have to hunt down and spend $200+ on a vintage batch. Bleu Electrique is reminiscent of the original and at the same time different enough to be its own thing - the dry down is different as well. Its a slight fresher take on the original with original formula vibes. Its stronger than current watered down batches of La Nuit. Not a cash grab imho. Their take on a slightly more versatile/modern version of La Nuit.
I thought the exact same as you, when I bought it I thought it smelled exactly the same as the original. It's the perfect example of why you shouldn't always trust other people's judgement when it comes to hype
I’ve always wanted the bleu électrique because of the hype and praise that fragrance get and I must say after owning a bottle . I wasn’t impressed maybe it does last longer than it’s counterpart and that’s about it
Honestly, the only “Bleu” thing about this fragrance is the color of the juice. I got this at retail and definitely don’t regret it but I certainly wouldn’t pay more than that. It’s also not the performance beast that some have hyped it up as being. I’d say if you don’t find the current formulation of the standard LNDL to be performing well, this is a good alternative because the performance on it, while not beast mode, is still pretty solid. If you have a vintage formulation of the original LNDL, then this is a redundant purchase in my opinion.
*Man. I miss the old reviewers like JR Writer, Hiro and NYFrag. JR was the man who really put me on D&G The One big time, as a summer scent. Hope that man is doing well!*
I hear both of you. I started getting into fragrances in 2012 and also started watching reviews. I would watch reviews from the guys you mentioned and it feels weird that a lot of the OG reviewers including Cubby aren't reviewing anymore. Though, it makes sense because life happens. I hope they're all good.
Nicely done,I just got the one from the line the Le Parfum, real nice ,coincidentally My SOTD and it did it’s job admirably. Cheers Marc “Let’s go get’em again “ ✌️🙏👍
Great review my friend! My daughter brought me 3 bottles of this from Madrid at retail price last year. Having 2 bottles of the original formula plus these 3 I am covered for the rest of my life. They are pretty similar . Best wishes from Mexico.
I own both Bleu and Eau Electrique, got Eau Electrique as a gift (wife mistakenly purchased Eau instead of Bleu). I’ve heard many have made that mistake…both are just ok nothing special. I’ll likely resell both
A very fair take on this one. It's not bad by any means i just don't think it's as good as the original... To me it's cleaned up and the wow factor completely stripped away. Lacks that sexiness i got from the og lol
I'd recommend to start looking for scents that utilize notes that aren't too prominent in perfumery, perhaps find a few scents with a pear note, mint is beautiful in the summer.
This one smelled so similar to the original LNDH that I sold mine. I still have a 2011 LNDH bottle that lasts longer than the Bleu l, so I saw no need. Bleu Electrique is better than newer LNDH batches, I’ll say that!
Don’t get the hype about Eros either 🤷🏼. This one however is really nice, close to the original with very little change but very nice. Better than current formulation (mostly also because of some slightly added sweetness from ginger).
I've heard that FW's Jack of Clubs is a very good alternative? Yet to find a clone that nails the original formulation of LNDL, but they're really all in the same ballpark. I'm with you Marc. They should do something else with it. Heck, where was the oud flanker eh? Even Frozen Cologne could've had an Eau Fraiche flanker with a DHC 2013 twist. Honestly though...if I see LNDL Elixir...I swear to gawwwwwwwd....😆 BaNG, ZooM, STRAIGHT to the moon!
If I was the fan of Original Le Nuit should I get this one? as I have the latest formulation of Le Nuit De L'Homme and it smells nothing like the original. so I am a fan of anything that can get me near the OG formula. And where I am from it is available and do not have to pay extra to get one
If you can get to sniff where you are from a tester you'll know more from your question. that's my recommendation. I've only worn this once and it felt like my original with minor changes making it thinner.
I have the OG La Nuit and picked up a bottle of this after testing. I liked it enough for the small twist on the original. They played it safe and didn't stray too far. If you don't have the OG formulation it would be more worth it.
Also hate blue scents! 😁 I was really anticipating this Unboxing because I really like La Nuit OG, I only have a 200 ml bottle and I was considering a Bckup... so, in conclusion... I don't need it. Thanks for the Unboxing Marc!!!
The thing is, your comparing it to an old formulation of la nuit de lhomme right? So maybe people are going nuts for Bleu electric because it is similar to the vintage OG la nuit de lhomme?
I dunno mate, I love the stuff ! its not a 10 but id say a solid 8.5/9. Can use anywhere anytime , chicks dig it and longevity is better then the OG (current bottles are trash). yea YSL should just make the OG as good as it was back in the day so this is kinda strange but thats not Bleus fault. Its a great scent and got a couple bottles in case its totaly removed globally not just in North america.
*What’s your final verdict on this Marc? In the uk this is readily available, for 100ml it’s around £60-70 (about 120CAD). I never had the OG, so considering this could be a decent daily driver.*
You're right: it's nothing new and I wasn't too impressed. I actually bought mine retail from Macy's when they had stock and I got the smaller bottle for a "decent" price and it was "okay." I don't think I've ever been a major fan of the La Nuit DNA, but I do like the Eau de Parfum quite a bit. Flankers never really excite me, anyways.
We are on exactly the same page on Eros. That and Dylan Blue make me queasy. I dont understand the attraction. This, on the other hand, is nice. There is no way Im paying a premium for Bleu Electrique. So, I will move on. I have a first year L'Homme, Gingembre, Libre, and Frozen and that is going to be enough for me.
For me, its just the ginger, geranium and cardamom. I never got to try the original so i'm glad you said it's pretty close to the vintage one. Atleast I can have this one 😁
I've just never been fan of this line... It's always just been very "meh" for me... Big props mentioning J.R. Rider from back in the day... That's a name I have not heard in a LONG time... ^_^ Great job as always Marc...
Bought bleu electrique about a year ago and I feel like we’re finally in the perfect weather to wear it. So it’s nice to see a reason to pull out the bottle I forgot I owned
Bro, you late to the party! The stripper jumped out of the cake and everybody had a piece. The question is, why not sooner on Blue Electrique? P.S. Piece of the cake, not the stripper. 😂
MAN!!!

And that's a good thing how? Still at the same level after a decade? Or just like a cash grab pandering move
It's one way to look at it.

Glad to hear this was redundant since i own the original vintage bottle. Honest reviews are price less....thanks marc🐐

always take hype with a huge grain of salt.

It's a thoroughly forgettable scent, I sold my bottle after a few weeks
sounds about right.
“Choose your La Nuit flanker wisely” Love it! 😂
lol truth

Fragrance influencers have been hyping this (and Acqua di Gio Profumo) like it's the holy grail among fragrances.
meh lol
Im a frag newbie, picked this up from discounters, i love it. Ive only smelled this and the original.
Definitely wouldn't pay 150+ US for it.
100%

Sounds about right, I'm scared of eau lol
I like this one a lot god take brother. This is like a original la nuit with ginger 🫚 and i love ginger in fragrances 👍👍
same

I only wore it this one time but I think I agree
I'm not a big blue scent guy either. That being said, since they dominate the hype around summer scents, what would you recommend for summer?
I'd recommend to start looking for scents that utilize notes that aren't too prominent in perfumery, perhaps find a few scents with a pear note, mint is beautiful in the summer.

LNDL Elixir will 100% be coming and the Homme version as well, then Y will get the elixir treatment. So which one will get it first?
We may need an Elixir version of La Nuit. Blue Electriques OK.
it'll be Elixired at some point, I can feel it.
If I was the fan of Original Le Nuit should I get this one? as I have the latest formulation of Le Nuit De L'Homme and it smells nothing like the original. so I am a fan of anything that can get me near the OG formula. And where I am from it is available and do not have to pay extra to get one

Great video and I enjoyed it and I like this fragrance and I give it a 8.5 out of 10 in my opinion and have a blessed day
Thanks for sharing!
You welcome keep up the good work GOD BLESS 🙏
Happy birthday to Rich Mitch !!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
lol I guess so

exactly, this is for people that don't own the original.

could be your backup tbh, scent didn't change much here.
Blue electrique is not even close to a blue fragrance
You right on that , I used to watch JR writer and he’s the one that influenced me to get “ La nuit de l’homme “
He sold many units of that one back in the day.
I picked up a 60ml for $40 before it went out of stock. Only LNDL I own. It's fine for that price, but nothing I'd pay scalper markups to have
good call
Its still is available across Sephora stores in Europe
I'm sure it is, but thanks for letting the people know.

It smells nice but way overhyped as are most in this line IMO (including the OG).
shots fired!! lol
@@robes08 Haha, yes well it's all subjective, it is/they are nice though 😅

no final verdict yet, but from the wearing I wore it... it was solid.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, appreciate it!
I been looking for this I’m almost out of mine I purchased about a year ago 🤦🏽♂️
hope you find it.
Does anyone have that batch 38X81MN of Bleu Electrique..? If you have that batch are you happy with it ? Please let me know.. :)
Good luck
DHP i a flanker too. Do you think its not worth to pay over retail for it too?
that's up to you and your wallet.
We are on exactly the same page on Eros. That and Dylan Blue make me queasy. I dont understand the attraction. This, on the other hand, is nice. There is no way Im paying a premium for Bleu Electrique. So, I will move on. I have a first year L'Homme, Gingembre, Libre, and Frozen and that is going to be enough for me.
You have some of the better ones.
Smells like a powdery la nuit with amberwood/ambroxan. The original better
i didn't get the ambroxan, thank god.
@@robes08 why... you don't like smelling like industrial glue and chlorine?
I've been fragging & I've yet to put my nose on LNDL 😐
You haven't been fragging enough
For me, its just the ginger, geranium and cardamom. I never got to try the original so i'm glad you said it's pretty close to the vintage one. Atleast I can have this one 😁
it is a brighter but again that was only the opening. I do need to test this a little more to give a full though on it.
@@robes08 will be waiting for that 😁 👍
It’s discontinued?
I think so , in the States. I think it's still around in other countries.
First, appreciate the video.
Appreciate you!
This one didn’t do much for me. Sold mine (and no, didn’t gouge for it or anything)
Nice to see a good honest fraghead that passes the scent on to another to enjoy and not make a huge profit.
I really wish i would of bought this for 65 dollars 100ml at a kiosk. I talked em down lol and didnt buy it.
😟
I've just never been fan of this line... It's always just been very "meh" for me... Big props mentioning J.R. Rider from back in the day... That's a name I have not heard in a LONG time... ^_^ Great job as always Marc...
Have to give props where they are due.
If never pay like 300 for dior homme parfum ain't worth niche prices
Dior Homme Parfum is worth more than this one tbh, I'd pay above retail for that one.
still waiting on that eau électrique video

You're a little late to the party.

Didn't know it was a race and I had to be first. No one told me. Damn.
@@robes08 Didnt your mom told you after she visited last week?
Marc don't pay attention to the hype and waste your time and money
never a waste my friend and I don't let it sway my purchases but I'm also a collector so eventually I'd be getting this anyway.
