Yves Saint Laurent Tuxedo Sharp Patchouli is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Juliette Karagueuzoglou. Tuxedo Sharp Patchouli opens with Bergamot, Violet Leaf, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily of the Valley, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, and Ambergris. Yves Saint Laurent's Tuxedo Sharp Patchouli carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This is Yves Saint Laurent's class in a bottle, revamped but reportedly the same DNA as its legendary predecessor. Expect sophistication and a warm, inviting embrace, though some find the projection a bit too intimate for the price.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its sophisticated and warm profile makes it perfect for formal events and date nights, exuding elegance without overwhelming. While some find it suitable for work, its subtle projection means it won't dominate an office environment, and it's certainly not a sports fragrance.

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

Tuxedo Sharp Patchouli opens with a fresh, slightly green violet leaf and a hint of piquant coriander, quickly transitioning to a heart of delicate rose and a kick of black pepper. The base is an opulent blend of earthy patchouli, creamy vanilla, and a subtle hint of ambergris, creating a smooth and captivating dry down. It's an elegant interplay of sweet, spicy, and woody notes.
