See What People Think

Tuxedo Extrait de Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent is a Leather fragrance for women and men, part of the Le Vestiaire des Parfums collection. Created by perfumer Juliette Karagueuzoglou, this extrait reimagines the iconic 1966 tuxedo for women — translating the tension between structured elegance and a darker, sensual undertone into scent. It opens with a vibrant burst of saffron, pink pepper, and bergamot. At its core, leather, violet leaf, and rose create a supple sophistication, while the resilient base of patchouli, oak, and vanilla bean lends greater depth and structure.
