Tuxedo by Yves Saint Laurent opens crisp and green, violet leaf and coriander over bright bergamot, sharper than sweet at first. It settles into something darker and more resinous as patchouli, bourbon vanilla and ambergris take hold, warm and a little smoky underneath. Composed by Juliette Karagueuzoglou and launched in 2015, it is worn equally by men and women and suits anyone who wants a scent with a formal, slightly brooding edge. Voters keep it for winter, fall and spring, mostly for evening and night, which fits its darker character. Most wearers vote its longevity long lasting, and the sillage vote also lands on strong, so a light hand goes far. A 3ml decant is enough to see if its shadowy warmth suits you before buying more.
