#html-body [data-pb-style=PDGRR5K]{justify-content:flex-start;display:flex;flex-direction:column;background-position:left top;background-size:cover;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-attachment:scroll}La Nuit de L'Homme has been one of the best-selling men's fragrances in the UK since it launched in 2009, and this set pairs the full 100ml bottle with a matching shower gel — making it one of the easier gifts to get right for someone who wears fragrance. The scent was built by Anne Flipo, Pierre Wargnye and Dominique Ropion around a single idea: contrast. It opens on cardamom, spicy and slightly sweet without being heavy. The heart brings lavender, Virginia cedar and bergamot, which is where it picks up that clean, almost barbershop quality that stops the spice turning sharp. Vetiver and caraway in the base give it a dry, warm finish that sits close to the skin. It's an evening fragrance by reputation and by name, but plenty of people wear it during the day in autumn and winter. Sophisticated enough for dinner or an occasion, easy enough for the pub. If you only own one going-out fragrance, this is usually the one people land on. Why buy the set? The 50ml shower gel uses the same scent profile, so using it before you spray gives the fragrance something to hold onto and helps it last longer on the skin. It's also a handy size for a weekend bag or the gym. The set comes ready-boxed, which saves wrapping if you're buying it as a present.
