YSL Tuxedo Cologne Review

YSL Tuxedo perfume comes as an Eau de Parfum in a sheer, square-cut 125 ml (4.22 oz) flacon. The beautiful perfume bottle boasts an impeccably sculptured silhouette reflecting high luxury and modernity.

Apart from the attractive architectural design, the silver-coated glass bottle features a black cap reminiscent of “grain de poudre,” the texture of YSL’s tuxedo material, and the brand’s logo on the front. The lustrous flacon shines like a precious jewel – stylish yet timeless.

Tuxedo fragrance is characterized by a spicy aroma combined with smoked patchouli and ambergris. It opens with violet leaf, bergamot, and coriander headnotes for a fresh, welcoming aroma.

Sharp black pepper accords enriched with fresh cardamom and romantic florals quickly follow. The sensual spices enhance the fragrance, infusing an essence of mystery and cool sophistication. Finally, an earthy and woody base of lush patchouli, ambergris, and boozy vanilla wraps everything up in a deep, bold, and masculine ending.

The fragrance is artfully blended and well-balanced. Bergamot is responsible for the cologne’s fruity-citrusy aroma, while violet leaf lends a green vibe. As for the coriander, it offers a spicy, resinous, and woody scent accentuated by earthy patchouli. Ultimately, vanilla and amber round off with sweetness and warmth, respectively.

Fun Fact: Vanilla is a familiar note in perfumery. In men’s cologne, it comes off as sweet and playful yet sensual and tempting. The pleasant aroma is universally appealing, with some experts claiming it has aphrodisiac properties. So if you are in the market for a scent that can seduce and enhance arousal, look out for vanilla accords in the scent profile.

YSL Tuxedo cologne is a contemporary scent whose sophisticated aroma encapsulates matte patchouli enhanced by spices. It’s bold, charismatic, captivating, and unconventional, just like the iconic couture masterpiece it’s named after.

With its sleek black ensemble, the tuxedo is a fine mesh of shiny satin and matte grain de poudre fabric. The Tuxedo cologne thus brings to mind the refined detailing of the ultra-fine tuxedo suit.

The classy fragrance is elegant and masculine, with a lovely patchouli scent. This makes it an excellent olfactory signature and a definite must-have, especially for patchouli lovers.

While it’s undeniably bold, Tuxedo Eau de Parfum is like a perfect gentleman – precise, smooth, and understated with a delicate elegance that’s supremely enticing. Yet, you can’t miss the innate sensuality that oozes from every spritz, plus the bold outlook that captures the timeless contours of unisex eroticism.

The main downside to this fragrance is the price. The high-quality notwithstanding, it’s super expensive. Also, it’s a bit mature and might not appeal to a younger demographic. Besides, the high price point could be a major putoff.
