La Nuit de L’Homme, enigmatic masculinity reviewed by Yves Saint-Laurent
If the department of perfumery is particularly large, some perfumes are classified as essential. Their name alone is then enough to make our imagination speak and to arouse an emotion in us. Also, by creating the perfume La Nuit de L’Homme, Yves Saint-Laurent seems to have brilliantly won this crazy bet. This one does not cease to be talked about since its creation in 2009. It is a staple of men’s fragrances that men continue to covet to perfect their evening outfits.
The origins of La Nuit de L’Homme by Yves Saint-Laurent
First, let us note that La Nuit de L’Homme is a perfume that belongs to a large collection of fragrances. In addition, its history does not quite go back to 2009 but rather to 2006. Indeed, it is at this time that Yves Saint-Laurent developed the perfume L’Homme. A sort of portrait of a charismatic, daring and sensual man, it was not long in making people talk about him. His very contrasting side earned him many praise. In addition, L’Homme is a fragrance that is both raw but elegant, virile but sensual, ultra masculine yet refined.
It is as luxurious as it is industrial and thus expresses a very contemporary vision of man. If it was at the very beginning of a woody fern, a sort of virile scent illuminated by a few citrus fruits, it underwent a metamorphosis the following year. It became, in 2007, a cool water for the summer. Likewise, this light and airy experience was repeated the following year, in 2008. However, in 2009, Yves Saint-Laurent decided to take the extreme opposite of this trend and create a darker variation, especially dedicated to seduction evenings. This is how La Nuit de L’Homme appeared.
La Nuit de L’Homme, a fragrance from a creative trio
What is more, if La Nuit de L’Homme appears to be such an elaborate juice, it is also because it comes from three perfumers. Thus, it is the result of an extraordinary creative exchange. In addition, it owes its existence to Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion and Pierre Wargnye. Anne Flipo is an extraordinary woman to whom we owe the creation of an infinite number of best-sellers. However, it was born far from the world of perfumery.
She explains that she simply got a taste for smells in a house full of life and surrounded by loving parents. This designer then strives to make each of her perfumes an unforgettable product. On the other hand, she is not used to creating overly commercial essences and always makes sure to obtain very different results. Dominique Ropion, meanwhile, is one of the most prolific designers of our generation. Unlike his colleague, he was in contact with smells very early on and comes from a family already working in the world of perfumes. He often compares perfumery to a “minor art” and enjoys seeing surprising accords emerge.
Finally, Pierre Wargnye appears to be a more discreet but no less daring character. A true monument of current perfumery, it lets its charm speak while associating it with a part of mystery. It would therefore seem that he has developed a perfume here in his image.
Yves Saint Laurent’s Night of the Man follows on from the success
resounding of Man and appeared in 2009. By creating this perfume, the Yves Saint-Laurent house wished to reveal the sensuality of the man who lies dormant in you. With him, the whole scene takes place in the middle of the night and the atmosphere could not be more mysterious. La Nuit de l’Homme is an oriental fragrance that seems uniquely designed to capsize the hearts of women. So, you too, let yourself be tempted and release the seductive evil that is in you.
La Nuit de l’Homme, the alliance of elegance and virility
La Nuit de l’Homme is a perfume constructed in opposition. He likes to play on the contrast between the incisive freshness and the scorching heat. In short, he is the image of an ideal man, at the same time particularly virile without lacking tenderness and delicacy. Thus, its scent juxtaposes contradictory aromas such as lavender and cedar, bergamot and cardamom, or even vetiver and coumarin.
La Nuit de l’Homme est un parfum très architecturé et proposant une véritable richesse olfactive. Il est l’œuvre d’un très grand savoir-faire et d’une maîtrise hors-pair de l’art de la parfumerie. Finalement, sa senteur s’inspire de la même base que l’Homme mais toutes ses senteurs sont alors poussées à l’extrême. Il est une interprétation parfumée d’un homme libre et moderne. Il dégage un profond dynamisme s’encrant parfaitement dans l’air du temps. Son odeur est particulièrement agréable et tout aussi addictive. Il est mystérieux et attirant et vous séduira tout autant qu’il fera tourner la tête des femmes croisant votre sillage. Vous êtes désormais prévenus, La Nuit de l’Homme est l’outil indispensable du séducteur qui sommeille en vous.
Yves Saint-Laurent multiplie les égéries de charme
La Nuit de l’Homme est un parfum pouvant se vanter d’avoir multiplié les égéries de prestige tel que le beau Vincent Cassel ou l’acteur Américain Garrett Hedlund. Aussi, la gent féminine ne s’était toujours pas remise de leurs atouts ravageurs que déjà la maison Yves Saint-Laurent nous dévoilait le nom de leur successeur. En effet, depuis 2015, c’est l’élégant Vinnie Woolston qui prête son visage à l’essence. Son allure très rock ‘n’ roll de laisse personne indifférent et il incarne à merveille la liberté voulue par la brand. Toutefois, la maison a également lancé un autre spot publicitaire qui a beaucoup fait parler de lui. Dans celui-ci, c’est Pierre Niney, l’acteur incarnant Yves Saint Laurent au cinéma, qui est mis en scène.
Clin d’œil au film biographique, cette courte séquence est très élégante et donne une vision de la ville de Paris dans l’obscurité de la nuit. Pierre Niney se met lui-même en scène, dans la peau d’un noctambule anonyme, qui sillonne les rues et les bars. Aucun produit n’est cité ni mis en scène. Tout est suggéré et sous entendu. L’idée est particulièrement audacieuse et a été très appréciée. Comme à son habitude, la maison Yves Saint-Laurent surprend. La Nuit de l’Homme ne déroge en rien à cette règle et cela rend cette fragrance particulièrement irrésistible.
