Yves Saint Laurent Tuxedo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Juliette Karagueuzoglou. The fragrance opens with Violet Leaf, Coriander, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily Of The Valley, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Ambergris, and Vanilla.

Our verdict on Tuxedo: Favourite

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.

Also Works:
Casual

Its rich, spicy, and subtly sweet profile, alongside its often-reported moderate projection and longevity (though this varies wildly), makes it perfect for date nights and formal events. While some wear it casually, its refined nature leans away from everyday office or sport use, where it might feel a bit too 'dressed up'.

About

Tuxedo opens with a fleeting burst of fresh bergamot and herbaceous violet leaf, quickly ushering in a heart of peppery rose, adding a subtle floral spiciness. The true character emerges in the dry down: a luxurious blend of deep patchouli, sweet bourbon vanilla, and a hint of warm, subtle ambergris. It's an oriental-leaning chypre, smooth and complex.
