Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L’Homme Eau de Toilette (2009): Cardamom Sparkle over Lavender–Cedar, with a Vetiver Dry-Down
A modern woody-spicy classic composed by Anne Flipo, Pierre Wargnye, and Dominique Ropion, La Nuit de L’Homme opens with a suave hit of cardamom, eases into a cool lavender–Virginia cedar–bergamot heart, and settles into vetiver with a touch of caraway. Smooth, sensual, and dress-casual friendly. Fragrantica
