Yves Saint Laurent Tuxedo is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2026, created by Juliette Karagueuzoglou. Tuxedo opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Leather, Rose, and Violet Leaf, and dries down to a base of Oak, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Yves Saint Laurent's Tuxedo carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

An opulent, amped-up take on the original that's got everyone talking about the price tag, not just the scent. It's a rich, deep experience, but many feel it's a redundant luxury, especially next to its less-pricy competition.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its rich, intense nature from the extrait concentration and strong woody-leather accords make it less suitable for the office or casual daytime wear. It truly shines in formal settings and romantic evenings, where its sophisticated warmth can make a statement.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a fleeting, bright burst of saffron and bergamot, quickly ushering in a sophisticated heart of violet leaf, supple leather, and subtle rose. The base settles into a dark, luxurious blend of earthy patchouli, robust oak, and a creamy hum of vanilla. Expect a warm, inviting, and decidedly grown-up affair, leaning into its woody and leathery facets.
