Where to buy

At first, he shocked the bourgeoisie mainly with his “Collection 40”, which revived the retro style worn by women during the Second World War, while also reinventing the codes of women's fashion. On the perfume side, he offended public opinion with “Rive Gauche”, his first perfume, but above all with “Opium”, a fragrance with a scandalous name… In 2006, YSL once again celebrated freedom, but this time that of men, with “L'Homme”. In 2015, YSL presented one of its flankers, “La Nuit de l'Homme Intense”.

The new facet of La Nuit de l'Homme

The masculine saga began in 2006 with “L'Homme”, a fragrance that celebrated the contemporary man. Daring, “L'Homme” came across as ultra sensual, and openly displayed its desires… From flanker to flanker, the composition of “L'Homme” revealed itself to be by turns elegant, fresh, irresistible, magnetic. In 2015, YSL unveiled “La Nuit de l'Homme Intense”. If “L'Homme” played with desire and forbidden things, “La Nuit de l'Homme Intense” extends that forbidden side further. “La Nuit de l'Homme Intense” once again plunges into the heart of the capital, into its cobbled and no less mysterious streets. The man's allure is rock and his attitude is over the top. The night is only just beginning, and yet the man has already revealed his best weapon, limitless seduction. Here, the creator wished to lift the veil on the forbidden, to go against convention, for once departing from habit. “La Nuit de l'Homme Intense” is the perfume of a modern man, irresistible, enigmatic and ultra charismatic. “La Nuit de l'Homme Intense” offers an escalation of masculine seduction… Where will it stop?

The contrasting notes of La Nuit de l'Homme Intense

The power of “La Nuit de l'Homme Intense” is built around an oriental accord. The escalation of seduction is expressed here through an olfactory escalation. The opening of “La Nuit de l'Homme Intense” is unprecedented, as it starts with violet flower. A rare ingredient, violet flower offers both powdery and green tonalities. The heart of “La Nuit de l'Homme Intense” is subtle, rich and elegant, composed solely of iris. Iris is one of the most prestigious ingredients, but also one of the most expensive found on the noses' palette. The base sillage is impertinent and carnal, combining vanilla and patchouli. The bottle takes up the main codes of all its predecessors. It displays a cylindrical shape topped with an octagonal cap. Above and at the center sits the iconic YSL cassandre. The bottle is dressed for the occasion in a gradient running from intense brown at the top to a lighter color at the bottom.

“La Nuit de l'Homme Intense” is dedicated to dark, mysterious men who fearlessly display their charisma. Its composition is carnal and daring. The result offers an essence that is magnetic to the highest degree.

The extreme sensuality of La Nuit de L'Homme Intense by Yves Saint Laurent

The birth of La Nuit de L'Homme Intense

La Nuit de L'Homme Intense is a fragrance that came into being in 2015. Nevertheless, its origins are much older. Indeed, its story began within the house of Yves Saint Laurent with the appearance of the perfume L'Homme. This offered a daring, elegant and forthright vision of a new and universal virility. The Yves Saint Laurent man displayed an extraordinary charisma, both tempting and magnetic. He seemed to allow himself every audacity and gave free rein to his desires. Also, in 2009, Yves Saint Laurent decided to accentuate this aspect by creating La Nuit de L'Homme. This perfume played with the forbidden and did not hesitate to defy convention. Its spirit was entirely turned toward the art of seduction. Nevertheless, make no mistake, this is still Yves Saint Laurent, and it is always done with great elegance. La Nuit de L'Homme is a saga that plunges into the heart of Paris in the middle of the night. Also, the electrifying atmosphere of the capital becomes even more gripping today with the appearance of La Nuit de L'Homme Intense. This fragrance is a blend of danger, forbidden things, temptation and attraction. Its magnetism is unequaled. Beware, you might very quickly find yourself caught red-handed in an act of seduction!

The intensity of the new Yves Saint Laurent fragrance

The sensuality of the Yves Saint Laurent man seems never to have been set so high. The scorching temperature of La Nuit de L'Homme Intense is absolutely surprising. This fragrance is a captivating escalation, at once floral, oriental and woody. Yves Saint Laurent placed one of the noblest ingredients on the entire perfumer's palette at the center of its composition. Moreover, La Nuit de L'Homme Intense bases its recipe largely on the presence of majestic iris. Iris reveals its powdery impertinence and is elevated by a more carnal sensation resting on an accord of vanilla and tonka bean. What is more, the whole is further structured by a more aromatic tonality emanating from sage. Violet leaf, in turn, completes this highly elaborate recipe with its powdery and green tonalities. Finally, patchouli reinforces the dark character of the whole.

This is one of the olfactory variations of the famous perfume La Nuit de l'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent. As its name suggests, everything about it is more intense: its sensuality, its virility, its daring, its magnetism and its mystery. The codes of seduction are redefined, and what we hold here is the quintessence of the original perfume.

This oriental perfume is built around iris. This ingredient is one of the noblest in perfumery and lends it all its nobility. It is also blended with notes of vanilla and tonka bean. Then come accords of patchouli, violet leaf and sage.

Furthermore, all the contrasts of this man are also highlighted in the Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent. This latter is an overdose of freshness in which black pepper mingles with bergamot and star anise.

Olfastory’s review

L'Intense, the new opus of the perfume La Nuit de l'Homme. Released in 2015, La Nuit de l'Homme l'Intense follows the success of La Nuit de l'Homme. It was actually in 2006 that the saga began with L'Homme, an essence for modern and seductive men. The composition was then daring and sensual. Faced with the success of this masculine fragrance, Yves Saint Laurent offered numerous flankers, among them La Nuit de l'Homme l'Intense. Truly powerful, this latest essence is that of the most charismatic of men, who seduce so naturally that they do not even notice it. This magnificent composition is signed by a trio of talented perfumers.
