🖤 YSL – Tuxedo
Smouldering. Elegant. Dangerously refined.
Tuxedo is Yves Saint Laurent's tribute to the most iconic piece in the fashion house's history — the black tuxedo. A symbol of power, seduction, and androgynous elegance, it becomes a fragrance of contrasts: dark and luminous, spicy and smooth, masculine and feminine all at once.
This is a smoky amber‑patchouli masterpiece, sharpened with black pepper and softened by a sweet, addictive vanilla‑benzoin glow. It feels like velvet over bare skin, like midnight light on satin lapels — effortlessly chic and quietly provocative.

🌙 The Experience
Tuxedo opens with a crackle of black pepper and warm spices, instantly seductive and sophisticated. As it evolves, a cool floral heart softens the edges, adding elegance and a touch of Parisian chic.
The dry‑down is where Tuxedo becomes unforgettable: smoky patchouli wrapped in warm amber and creamy vanilla, creating a dark, addictive aura that clings to the skin like silk.
This is seduction tailored to perfection — refined, modern, and effortlessly magnetic.

Being upfront about the comparison
Executive is our own original composition inspired by YSL Tuxedo — it is not a clone or a replica, and no inspired-by fragrance is. What you get is the same unisex scent direction and note structure, blended by hand in the UK as a long-lasting Extrait de Parfum.
Worn side by side you would recognise the family resemblance straight away, and you would also notice differences in the opening and in how it settles on your skin. We think that is a fair trade at this price, but we would rather you know exactly what you are buying.
