L'Homme (2006)
by Yves Saint Laurent

Mellow, sweet-ish, but definitely not very sweet. Some spices, citrus etc. Very well rounded and reasonably complex. Unfortunately for me, it is kind of forgettable. I will try it again some time later, but for now - it is what it is.

The significant difference between this one and it's flanker La Nuit is that La Nuit has great projection and longevity, whilst this one doesn't. It turned out to be quite shy on my skin, I'd rate it thumb up if it weren't so.

good scent, my gf bought it for me because she really likes it. honestly in my opinion, it's nothing special or extremely unique. it's a good safe scent that you can wear year round to work, school, on a date, etc.

ok at first spray, you get a somewhat citrusy smell accompanied by a very light spice. it's honestly pretty linear throughout. only thing i noticed is that instead of the top notes fading out, the basenotes come in and stay with the scent til the end. so i guess it's not linear but you definitely smell the top notes throughout which isn't a bad thing.

definitely worth getting a sample.

projection 8
longevity 9

From what I've heard and observed, L'Homme has many female fans. I'm a definite fan, L'Homme makes a lovely, refreshingly spicy scent, with all the allure and appeal that makes it decidingly popular.

Woodsy, spicy and crisp sums up the whole composition in three simple words. This fragrance seems to suit any man of any age, regardless of the occasion or personality. Versatile enough to be worn casually, classically or to a strict suit and tie event.

The delicious spiciness was what immediately intrigued me when I first smelt L'Homme. I was not surprised when the sales assistant piped in with such praise with how popular this fragrance is as a present for lovers, family and friends.

I can distinguish an odd, tasty orange note, that seems to be neither the lemon nor the bergamot. Personally, this is what I feel makes this fragrance so amazing. I could smell this fragrance forever, just cuddle up to its wearer and relish in its woodsiness and deliciousness.

Some mention an aquatic type quality, and I slightly agree, even though its not so noticeable that it drives the scent. I'm not so certain as to what makes this fragrance so sexy, but there is no contention as to its obvious sexual appeal.

The sillage and lasting power is excellent, lasting for what seems like forever and a day. There is absolutely nothing else to say. I highly recommend.

L'homme have a citric opening with bergamot being accompanied by a dominant ginger note. A really good combination which may seems to be ordinary but it is not.

The drydown leaves us with a sweet creamy aspect wheres tonka bean does such an incredible job giving a smooth, creamy and rich aroma to this particular fragrance. Anyway, a very good, safe, versatile and pleasant fragrance that is an incredible alternative for the common citric/aquatic fragrances for the summer.

The floral notes is very good, and the floral theme dominates the whole experience. Nothing about this fragrance is "loud". Its very subtle and delicate. Its not a complex fragrance by any means, but because it isn't that complex, it is a very versatile fragrance. Its not an attention grabber, and its not meant to be. Sometimes, you don't want to wear something that says "Hey, smell me."
