La Nuit de l’Homme Review Basics

Yves Saint Laurent brought La Nuit de l’Homme to market in 2009. The fragrance has remained steadily popular ever since. The creators of La Nuit de l’Homme, Pierre Wargnye, Anne Flipo, and Dominique Ropion, used a woody and spicy scent profile. Flipo has over 150 perfumes under her nose, including works under Burberry, Calvin Klein, Este Lauder, and Jimmy Choo brands. Flipo is considered a “master perfumer” and her work with YSL is yet another example or her mastery.

La Nuit de l’Homme comines in three sizes (40ml, 60ml, 100ml). As mentioned, we carry samples.

What Does La Nuit de l’Homme Smell Like?

Flipo and company used several strong, penetrating notes to achieve what amounts to a woody spice experience. The top notes feature bergamot, cedar, and lavender. The base notes use cumin and vetiver. 

The cumin and vetiver tend to wrap up the La Nuit de l’Homme’s scent profile in a bow. In some ways, it creates healthy boundaries. Right when you think this scent will pop too much, it gets reeled in with a more woody experience.

When La Nuit de l’Homme opens, you’ll immediately catch spicy, sweet notes filling your surrounding space. It’s a beautiful experience that encompasses a masculine feel. Then, the dry-down phase releases what some might describe as sweet vanilla. 

La Nuit de l’Homme has no issue with longevity, either. It lasts 8-hours and more. Which by most standards, is akin to a top performing perfume. 

La Nuit de l’Homme is a robust and potent scent, but it does not overwhelm your audience.

The commercial portrays Hedlund navigating a sexy world that features a wicked underbelly. It plays to mystery and explosiveness. The commercial is also a bit fun and vibrant.
