Yves Saint Laurent
YSL La Nuit de L'Homme EDP
“Cardamom and coumarin after dark — the quiet confidence of a great suit.”
A reformulation rather than a concentration flanker; significantly different DNA from the EDT original — YSL's 2019 EDP reformulation of the classic 2009 La Nuit de L'Homme. Darker, denser, with grapefruit-cardamom top, leather-lavender-clary-sage heart, and a patchouli-sandalwood-vetiver-tonka base.
The take

- ●Smooth and wearable without demanding attention
