Which Should You Buy?
This much-hyped clone of YSL Tuxedo is a divisive beast. While some laud its uncanny resemblance and value, many find it lacking in depth and performance, often needing a long 'maceration' period to truly shine.
This isn't just another vanilla; it's a divisive blend where rose and tobacco fight for centre stage. Expect a unique, spicy vanilla experience that some will adore and others will find too challenging or simply not vanilla enough.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its sophisticated, warm spicy and amber profile lends itself well to formal events and date nights. Lower performance reported by many users means it wouldn't be overwhelming in an office, but it's not a casual wear or sport scent.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its significant projection and longevity make it a bit much for most office environments. However, its complex, warm character is perfect for dates and adds a sophisticated touch to formal evenings, while still being versatile enough for a classy casual outing.
