Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de l'Homme Frozen Cologne is a Cologne launched in 2012, created by Dominique Ropion and Claire Liégent. La Nuit de l'Homme Frozen Cologne opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Geranium and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Cedar, Vetiver, and Tonka Bean. Yves Saint Laurent's La Nuit de l'Homme Frozen Cologne carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This discontinued flanker is still causing a stir, dividing opinion between those who cherish its fresh take on the original La Nuit DNA and those who find it a bit redundant or underperforming. It's a 'love it or hate it' situation, but for many, it's a nostalgic gem worth seeking out.

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.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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 vibrant blast of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin kicks things off, bright and invigorating. This citrusy freshness then melds into a peppery, aromatic heart of geranium, offering a cool, slightly minty twist. The experience settles into a warm, inviting base of cashmere wood, tonka, and vetiver, retaining a hint of the signature La Nuit sultriness but with a brighter, more versatile edge.
