The new aftershave from YSL
It is no secret that Yves Saint Laurent has just launched a new masculine scent on 2nd March this year which is endorsed and fronted by the famous French actor Vincent Cassel.
During a recent interview the actor gave the French magazine, Votre Beauté in February 2009, the aftershave is known as ‘La Nuit de l’Homme’ (The Night of the Man), this new bouquet will be the new instalment in the YSL L’Homme franchise for which the last aftershave was fronted by Kylie Minogue’s ex and actor Olivier Martinez.
The new aftershave is described by YSL as a Floral Oriental which has a contrasting personality:
“elegance, mystery and sensuality.”
During his interview, Vincent Cassel said to the magazine;
“I accepted in memory of Yves Saint Laurent himself. He was a superlative creator, a dandy in the real sense of the term as he knew how to preserve his life and mystery. Plus, he loved the night, like me. I used to be a man of the night; I adored those parties at the Palace or at the Bains Douches where everything was possible, where one made improbable friends. This is how I met my buddy Gaspar Noé (the director of Irréversible and of the TV ad for said YSL perfume).”
When he was asked whether he had an interest in fragrances and which aftershave he used he said;
“For me it is an accessory, like a jewel. You will notice that I am not wearing anything (he is all dressed in black), not even a wedding ring. I never put any pressure on myself fashion wise or looks wise. It is my freedom, my luxury, and I want it to remain that way!”
