Poker Face

Poker Face by Ted Lapidus presents a soft, refined masculine scent with a strong olfactory kinship to YSL La Nuit de L'Homme. It opens with a bright, slightly minty freshness from bergamot, lavender, and violet leaves, which quickly settles into a warm, floral-iris core accented by cardamom and black pepper. The base reveals a creamy tonka bean, patchouli, and cedar that adds depth and longevity, though the projection remains moderate and close to the skin. The fragrance balances discreet elegance with a sensual, inviting dry-down, best suited for evening wear, night outings, or intimate settings. While the performance is inconsistent across skins—some report it lasts up to 8 hours with moderate sillage—it is often praised for feeling more substantial than the newer, more diluted versions of La Nuit de L'Homme. Its price point is widely viewed as excellent value, especially for those seeking a high-quality clone at a fraction of the cost.
