Project #11: YSL La Nuit de l'Homme Eau Électrique

First of all, let me tell you that capturing this dark bottle was a pain in the ass.

This bottle is in fact a magnet for dust, fingerprints and everything else you don't wan to see in a decent picture.

It was a hard job for me to clean it the best way possible, but even after that, I had to work in the editing process to get rid of the tiniest particles of dust.

This time I tried to use a 'gobo' (if that's the correct name), to play with lights and shadows and the result is not that bad in my opinion. I'm also experimenting some new tools in the editing process, like masking etc and I have to admit that I'm starting to have fun doing this. I love taking pictures the most, but the editing part isn't so boring as it used to be.

Once again, the images are not the best ones you'll see today and probably will look too simplified or even 'flat', but if you consider that I shot the, in my garage the final results aren't that bad... 😂

I hope you enjoy them ✌🏻

About the perfume:

Launched in 2017, Yves Saint Laurent's La Nuit de l'Homme Eau Électrique can be describes as a modern reinterpretation of masculinity, fusing a timeless sophistication with youthful energy. This fragrance captures the duality of a man who exudes both charm and confidence, making it a standout addition to the La Nuit de l'Homme collection, and probably one of the best performing flankers in this whole line.

The scent opens with an electrifying burst of crisp juicy apple and zesty mandarin, immediately catching your attention with its uplifting vibrant freshness. As it transitions into the heart, a sensual blend of geranium and lavender emerges, lending a classic and refined floral depth that feels effortlessly elegant, while orange blossom adds a softness, which serves as an introduction to the creaminess that has to come. The base notes of tonka bean, vanilla, and patchouli ground the fragrance with a warm, woody sweetness, creating an intoxicating trail that lingers beautifully on the skin. In addition to that, cedar, cashmere wood and vetiver provide a woody depth with a touch of earthiness, adding more complexity to the whole perfume.

La Nuit de l'Homme Eau Électrique strikes a perfect balance between freshness and seduction, making it versatile for both day and evening wear. While its youthful energy resonates strongly with a modern audience, its polished character ensures it appeals to those who appreciate classic sophistication.

The sleek black-and-blue gradient bottle mirrors the dynamic essence of the fragrance, capturing the contrast between light and shadow, energy and mystery.
