A bottle that is not without reminders of its predecessors
Let us begin with the bottle of L'Homme Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint-Laurent. While it proves very seductive, it does not, however, mark a profound surprise. Indeed, it strongly resembles some of its predecessors. Its shape remains exactly the same as that of its predecessors. Thus, L'Homme Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint-Laurent comes in a transparent glass cylinder, topped with a hexagonal cap. It is the alliance of refinement and raw, more industrial strength. Its glass this time reveals a warm, amber-colored juice. While this pairing works wonderfully, it should be recalled that this visual strongly evokes those of the bottles of the previous L'Homme Intense from 2013 and La Nuit de L'Homme Intense from 2015.
The highly syrupy and enchanting scent of L'Homme Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint-Laurent
If the bottle of L'Homme Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint-Laurent thus leaves us somewhat wanting, we nonetheless acknowledge that it is in perfect harmony with the fragrance it contains. Indeed, its bourbon color and its whisky-like appearance echo exactly its ultimate cognac accord. L'Homme Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint-Laurent rests, indeed, on a powerful, delicious base, infused like a liqueur. The idea is absolutely enchanting! L'Homme Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint-Laurent is scented directly from oak chips sourced from barrels made in Cognac, giving it a powerful, woody character reminiscent of the scent of a liqueur. Freshness is nonetheless preserved in a duo of bitter orange and bergamot. All the man's elegance in turn comes through in a heart of geranium and lavender.
Yves Saint-Laurent brings together L'Homme and La Nuit de L'Homme
Where L'Homme Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint-Laurent also becomes very interesting is that it seems to possess, on its own, all the characteristics of the previous perfumes L'Homme by Yves Saint-Laurent and La Nuit de L'Homme. Indeed, it has that natural charisma and that refined dandy spirit. It depicts for us the portrait of a magnetic man, sure of his assets. However, it also preserves a more mysterious, seductive aspect. Its charm is meant to be nonchalant. The man who wears this perfume does not hesitate to brush up against the forbidden. He lets himself be tempted by danger. His sophisticated allure thus conceals a slight bad boy side. It is almost as if L'Homme by Yves Saint-Laurent and La Nuit de L'Homme had become one!
