About This Perfume
La Nuit de l'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men. La Nuit de l'Homme was launched in 2009. La Nuit de l'Homme was created by Anne Flipo, Pierre Wargnye and Dominique Ropion. Top note is Cardamom; middle notes are Lavender, Virginia Cedar and Bergamot; base notes are Vetiver and Caraway. Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de l`Homme is a new masculine representative of the house of YSL and it appeared on the market in March 2009. The perfume is announced as one full of contrasts and tensions. Its flacon is dark and powerful, as if it were announcing powerful ingredients it carries in itself. A veil of mystery and an explosive spicy accord reveal cardamom with sparkling freshness of bergamot, lavender and cedar, which stand for strength of men. Cumin and vetiver in a base ensure a sensual finish and an opulent, elegant closure. Perfume La Nuit de l`Homme is available in three sizes of bottle - 40ml edt, 60ml edt and100ml edt, along with perfumed deo spray in a collection. The noses behind this fragrance are Anne Flipo, Pierre Wargnye and Dominique Ropion.
