Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L'Homme is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion, and Pierre Wargnye. La Nuit de L'Homme opens with Grapefruit and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Leather, Lavender, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean. Yves Saint Laurent's La Nuit de L'Homme carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a smooth operator, a cardamom-laced love letter that many adore despite its tricky performance. If you're after a winter warmer that whispers rather than shouts, you've found your match. Just be warned, some find it a bit too subtle.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate sillage and warm, aromatic profile make it perfect for intimate evening settings like dates or formal events, where it's alluring without being overpowering. It's a bit too rich for casual daytime wear or sporting activities, and its projection can be too strong for a typical office environment unless applied very lightly.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine stepping into a dimly lit lounge, a warm and inviting aura surrounding you. A bold, aromatic burst of cardamom and zesty grapefruit kicks things off, quickly mellowing into a refined heart of smooth leather and herbal lavender. The base wraps you in a comforting embrace of creamy sandalwood and earthy patchouli, softened by a sweet, almost vanilla-like tonka bean. It's a rich, deep composition, perfectly balanced between spicy and sweet.
