Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet adored, Tuxedo by YSL is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a sophisticated, spicy marvel; for others, it's a weak, overpriced miss. Sample before you commit to this hyped scent.
A softened take on YSL's Tuxedo, keeping the dark rose-and-suede backbone but rendering the boozy cognac-plum opening and black pepper spice more muted. The patchouli-amber-vanilla base is close in character, if a touch simpler and shorter-lived than the designer original.
