La Nuit de L'Homme Eau de Parfum

La Nuit de L’Homme Eau de Parfum now refers to the ambery, spicy Eau de Parfum that Yves Saint Laurent sells under this name. Bergamot and a red apple accord open onto a red pepper and tobacco accord, set on amber notes. The line’s bottle turns red. It replaces a first Eau de Parfum of this name, built on cardamom, sandalwood and leather.

The house details the current version tier by tier. Zesty bergamot blends at the top with a tangy red apple accord; the heart makes the red pepper accord burst against the tobacco accord; at the base, amber notes extend the whole.

The red pepper and the amber notes remain accords, described by their effect more than by a material: the house specifies neither the species of pepper nor the ingredients that make up its amber.

The former formula

The first Eau de Parfum of this name rested on a different structure. It kept the ambery, spicy accord of cardamom and tonka bean that belongs to the Eau de Toilette and enriched it with a woody accord of sandalwood, patchouli, sage and leather; an essence of grapefruit lifted the cardamom.

At the time, the house highlighted its sandalwood and patchouli essences. Its new formula no longer mentions cardamom or leather: red pepper and tobacco take their place at the center of the composition.
