How does that differ from the original Aqua Universalis, which I liked but found a bit feminine and I don't know, just not satisfactory in a FBW manner.

Its one of my favorite lines at the moment. So far, Ive bought 5 of them: Absolue pour le Soir, Lumière Noire pour Homme, APOM pour Homme, Aqua Universalis Forte, which are terrific, and Absolue pour le Matin, which is pretty useful. If I have to choose only one as my favorite, it would be APOM.

I think that Aqua Universalis Forte is woodier, deeper and much more prettier (or should I just say more satisfying) than Aqua Universalis. It has terrific longevity and projection. It certainly wont get award for the masculinity, but, when I tried it for the first time, I felt the same thing I felt with Lyric Man Feminine or not, its just too beautiful and I have to have it. So, if a conservative 39 years old guy with a patriarchal education and very (and I mean VERY) traditional environment and pretty serious job can wear it

Couldn't agree more. Absolue Pour Le Soir is the gem in the collection.

He's a great perfumer.

The line is better than most, but if any of them sing it isn't long before they start mumbling.

His Enlévement au Sérail for MDCI is one of the best fragrances of the last twenty years, and Promesse de l'Aube is right there with it.

Cologne pour le Soir.

Once you realize that it is honey you are smelling, it instantly does not smell dirty anymore.

I'm still working on loving Lumiere Noir - unfortunately I'm having trouble smelling the rose or patchouli - so I know it's my problem...what I get is a pleasant green scent, very well blended that kind of bubbles along the way with a slightly different emphasis over time. Sigh. Right now I'm thinking I need my nose examined.

I clicked immediately with Cologne pour Le Soir - got the honey and rose right away, and that will lead to wanting to try the rest of the house scents. Not liking the idea of a 200 ml bottle, however.

I also enjoy MFK AU Fort'e especially for the spring/summer, it is very concentrated so I love how long it lingers on my skin.

Unless I missed it, it looks like I'm the first one to say that Aqua Universalis is my favorite from the line. It's so delicate and transparent, but it still has impressive longevity. I especially love the floral heart.

I love how fresh and clean it is like being outside, I have used the Aqua Wash to make my clothes feel great.
I know that might sound funny but its so unique and a little extra luxury.

I have tried his new OUD and I think you would love it based on what you say about LN Homme.
