La Nuit de L'Homme Le Parfum Yves Saint Laurent 2010

Right from the start, I can say that the fragrance is exactly what you would expect when you look at the scent notes. La Nuit de L'Homme Le Parfum smells of spicy fruits and a dark sweetness. The spiciness is rather defensive and leaves all the more room for the dark, fruity sweetness that dominates the fragrance. As a result, the fragrance smells well-balanced and, for me, pleasant. However, the easily perceptible labdanum, which creates this dark surge, takes at least a little getting used to. But that somehow also makes the fragrance more interesting and exciting to smell. Otherwise, it can be said that the typical characteristics of YSL fragrances are also present in this fragrance. Namely, it is a well-rounded fragrance that is not a revolutionary creation. In other words, it is not a polarizing fragrance that is either loved or hated, such as Imagination by Louis Vuitton. In my opinion, La Nuit de L'Homme Le Parfum is therefore a fragrance that most people will like, but nobody will really love. A good fragrance for everyday wear or leisure time. I don't want to make the fragrance look bad and I don't want to make it sound like it's not good. Because that's not true. I particularly like the twist of dark labdanum and lighter notes with fruit and sweetness. However, it does not fit into the La Nuit de L'Homme range at all. Because this range actually consists of fragrances that are used for night outs, dates or other occasions where you want to impress the opposite sex. In my opinion, the fragrances in the range are all fragrances that are pleasant to smell, especially for women. With one single exception, Le Parfum. Too dark, not sweet enough, too boring were the female reactions I got to this fragrance. It would also make me smell a bit old. All in all, it's not what you want to have as a reaction to a fragrance on a date, for example. For me, the fragrance fits much more into the L'Homme range, as an everyday fragrance for the cold season. I think it is very successful for that. A well-rounded and also a little exciting smelling fragrance that is unlikely to annoy anyone in everyday life. It's nice to smell it yourself, but nothing more than that.
