La Nuit de L'Homme L'Intense Parfum
Yves Saint Laurent by Pierre Wargnye, Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion OriginalScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This 'intense' flanker is anything but, leaving many underwhelmed by its lacklustre performance and divergence from the original DNA. However, fans still cherish its unique, seductive iris and vanilla blend, especially given its discontinued status.
A budget read on YSL La Nuit de L'Homme L'Intense. The powdery iris-and-violet lipstick accord and cozy tonka sweetness land well, but like the discontinued original the projection is shy - this take wears even closer to the skin and loses a little of the iris depth.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Despite its 'intense' name, this is a soft, intimate scent with poor longevity and sillage, making it unsuitable for office wear but perfect for close encounters like a date night. Its sophisticated, sweet profile also suits formal events or relaxed casual evenings.
