What does La Nuit de L'Homme (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Bergamot and cardamom open it clean and lightly spiced. In the heart, cedarwood, black pepper and lavender come forward, with the woody and spicy side leading. In the base, vetiver and tonka bean pull it towards both dryness and sweetness, leaving a warm, powdery oriental finish.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, then spring, and evening and night out lead the occasions, though leisure and daily wear also get votes. Its character is mostly described as masculine, modern and classic. Sober Bangkok and Korres Vetiver Root have a close profile.
