Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L'Homme Le Parfum

Parfum2010

“La Nuit at its most seductive — low lights, a late dinner and no plans to go home early.”

La Nuit de L'Homme Le Parfum
fresh spicy
fruity
sweet

An evening, cold-weather flanker to YSL's 2009 La Nuit de L'Homme, released in 2010. Anise and lavender lead over a warm, patchouli-led base. Fresh spice tops the accords, with fruity, sweet and lavender facets giving it a softer, sweeter profile than the aromatic original. Worn almost exclusively at night, in fall and winter.
