About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

La Nuit de L'Homme (2009) is a woody spicy masculine built around a lavender-cedar-bergamot heart, with vetiver and caraway in the base. The opening leans aromatic and fresh, with bergamot's citrus bite and lavender's clean herbal edge; Virginia cedar adds a dry, pencil-shaving texture. As it settles, caraway's warm, slightly anise-like spice emerges, while vetiver keeps the finish earthy and grounded. The listed accords—aromatic 100%, warm spicy 86%, lavender 69%, woody 66%, fresh spicy 63%, citrus 49%—confirm its dual nature: bright and brisk up top, darker and spicier underneath.

Collectors who enjoy classic fougères but want a smoother, more nocturnal twist will find this a staple. It suits evening wear, cool weather, and anyone who prefers a lavender-forward scent that never turns soapy. Because the top notes are unlisted, judge the opening by the heart: lavender and bergamot dominate early, then cedar and caraway take over. A reliable, versatile choice for men who want a signature that reads refined rather than loud.

中文簡介

La Nuit de L'Homme(2009)係一款木質辛辣男香,核心係薰衣草、維珍尼亞雪松同佛手柑,基調用咗香根草同葛縷子。開頭以薰衣草嘅潔淨草本同佛手柑嘅柑橘酸爽為主,雪松帶嚟乾燥嘅鉛筆刨質感;之後葛縷子嘅暖辣微甜慢慢滲出,香根草令收尾保持泥土感同穩重。官方公佈嘅主要香調:芳香100%、暖辣86%、薰衣草69%、木質66%、清新辣63%、柑橘49%,反映佢明亮中帶暗黑嘅雙重性格。

適合鍾意經典馥奇但想要更夜用、更順滑嘅男士。最好喺涼爽天氣或夜晚使用,襯西裝或休閒都得。因為前調無公開,建議直接從中調判斷:薰衣草同佛手柑最先彈出,跟住雪松同葛縷子主導。想搵一支低調得嚟有辨識度嘅簽名香,呢支值得考慮。
