Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L'Homme Eau Électrique is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2017, created by Dominique Ropion, Anne Flipo, and Juliette Karagueuzoglou. La Nuit de L'Homme Eau Électrique opens with Lemon, Mandarin, and Apple, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Lavender, Geranium, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Yves Saint Laurent's La Nuit de L'Homme Eau Électrique carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This flanker is a divisive one: some call it a 'toned-down Eros', others accuse it of being synthetic and uninspired. Yet, a vocal contingent champions its refined sweetness and surprising versatility, making it an underrated gem for those who get it.

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 Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its moderate sillage and smooth, sweet profile make it ideal for intimate settings like date nights, where it can be truly appreciated. While too sweet and sensual for active sports, its versatility means it can pass for casual wear and even some formal events, though perhaps not for conservative office environments.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

A crisp green apple and bright citrus burst open, soon softened by a sophisticated aromatic heart of creamy lavender and hints of geranium. The dry-down reveals a smooth, sweet embrace of vanilla and tonka bean, underpinned by warm cashmere wood and earthy vetiver, creating a magnetic and alluring trail.
