I saw that and was confused about that after I bought it and got it home too. I think it might actually be an EDP concentration but called "Le Parfum" but I am not sure. If it is in fact a parfum, so much the better.

Thread: La Nuit de L'Homme Le Parfum |
So La Nuit de L'Homme Le Parfum arrived today. On the bottom of the bottle on the sticker or w/e, it says "EAU DE PARFUM", yet it has Le Parfum in the name of it?
Is Le Parfum just another way of saying Eau de Parfum, or something?

Le parfum : EDP ...Great spicy scent ...

I think it is an EDP. It's nice, but I prefer the EDT just a little better. It seems to have better performance on my skin. Regardless, it's a great one!
There might be something of a misnomer or at least, a slight naming confusion: while it is called Le Parfum, its concentration may most likely be defined/categorized/rated as EDP.

I think it is just part of the name/title, ... Le Parfum, and it is an EDP. I do prefer it to the original, which I also like very much. I also had the Frozen cologne but it was plenty of the same, really, so I traded it for a bottle of Miss Dior Originale, which by and odd trick of my nose, I suppose, reminds me what Eau Sauvage used to be, I mean, a lot of moss. Please, before the stones fly, have anyone tried that?
Hmm, on the sticker of my 2010 flacon, it says Parfum / Perfume...

Safe to say it is a marketing ploy to gain our attention. The top hitter in La Nuit family needs few other words to describe it. Most of the general public would not know the difference nor care of this naming inaccuracy in technical terms .

Well the pics don't lie so I guess the mystery will linger a bit longer.

Interesting. I'm curious if they will answer your question by mail.
My bottle also has 'Parfum' on it, but as we discussed back in 2010-2011, this was more of an EDT than anything else, around/below 10%.
This fragrance pretty much disappeared during 2012 until fall this year, and current bottles have different packaging; I bet it has been reformulated or at least they increased concentration for the relaunch to more than 10%, in other words, the difference may be less than 2%.
Does start very fruity?
There were different batches back then, first ones were the sweeter ones, and later ones had a more classy lavender vibe.
We want a niche forum.

Hi Robert,
Thank you for your interest in La Nuit De L'Homme Le Parfum Eau De Parfum.
We do not offer "parfum"; La Nuit De L'Homme Le Parfum Eau De Parfum is sold exclusively through Bloomingdale's.
The primary difference between products is the percentage of concentrated fragrance oil in the finished solution and, on some occasions, the addition of a small amount of water in the final alcoholic solution. Perfumes are stronger; they vary from 20% to 45%. Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum are between 6% to 15%.
We appreciate your interest in YSL fragrances.
Sincerely,
Georgia
Advocate, Consumer Care Center

Could it be that one is fake ?, Just looking at the batch codes for each one, both have different formats. Most unusual.

It might be a good idea to contact YSL directly and verify exactly the correct format for authentic le Parfum bottles.

To calm your nerves, the code is 0EAB -> May 2010 ;-)
