Yves Saint Laurent Le Vestiaire Des Parfums Tuxedo EDP 125ml

Inspired by YSL's iconic Le Smoking, Tuxedo captures that androgynous allure: sharp tailoring meets sensual warmth. Crafted by YSL Beauty’s perfumers, this unisex fragrance reshapes classic patchouli into something modern and deeply emotive.

Olfactory Portrait

• Opening: violet leaf brightens the entrance, while coriander, bergamot and a flicker of black pepper introduce refined spice.

• Heart: aromatic rose and lily‑of‑the‑valley swirl with black pepper—elegant but edged—mimicking satin piping on midnight attire.

• Base: smoky, earthy patchouli melds with ambergris and bourbon vanilla, drifting into a velvety, skin‑like dry down.

What reviewers say

• “A spicy patchouli with slightly smoky amber… easy anytime, any occasion wear”

• Or, to others, “leathery vanilla, salty and creamy ambergris” with “fluid shiny incense” adding dimension.

• Not the boldest, but crafted beautifully: “well‑blended… dusty wood softened and made delicate.”

Why it’s essential

• Tailored sophistication: Smokescreen elegance with tonal layering—crisply striking yet softly lingering.

• Unisex versatility: Ideal for cooler months but balanced enough for year‑round wear.

• Couture meets everyday: Refined enough to elevate formal attire yet intuitive for daily presence.
