A nocturnal, seductive character defines La Nuit De L'Homme Cologne's opening, cardamom and grapefruit suiting the name Yves Saint Laurent chose for it. Leather, lavender, and clary sage deepen that spice through the entire middle, dark and herbal without the composition ever losing its early, energy as it continues to develop. Tonka bean, sandalwood, patchouli, and vetiver ground the entire dry down in a dense, resinous richness with remarkable staying power through an entire long evening. This Eau De Parfum suits formal occasions and evening wear especially well, rewarding real patience with its layered depth over time. The nocturnal, evocative name earns its place across every single stage, dark from the opening spray to the very last trace each evening.
