Smell exuberant by dousing yourself in Yves Saint Laurent’s Tuxedo parfum. Part of the Les Vestiaire Des parfums collection, this perfume is a spicy unisex scent.
It blends the matte texture of ambergris with smoked patchouli to invoke a magnetic and dark sex appeal. A contemporary elegance subverted by a note of utter impertinence. To mirror a satin stripe that runs along the seam of the trousers and jacket lapels, the fragrance was infused with a sharp black pepper scent enhanced by the freshness of cardamom. The interplay of shiny satin trims of the garment and matte grain de poudre fabric makes the Tuxedo an icon. With a refined sense of detail, the gleaming effect of the spices electrifies and highlights the sophistication of the garment. A bold, masculine look transformed into a feminine staple by Yves Saint Laurent, the Tuxedo is an expression of impertinent seduction.
Yves Saint Laurent explains the collection as “Inspired by the emblematic creations of Monsieur Saint Laurent, Le Vestiaire Des Parfums is a collection of fragrances that each interprets a centrepiece of the couturier’s wardrobe. Tuxedo, Caban, Saharienne, Blouse, Caftan: signature scents with couture sensibility.”
Tuxedo reveals its refinement in an architectural bottle of sheer, square-cut glass—an eternally bold look to evoke the contours of an androgynous eroticism. The ornamental jewel cap mirrors the “grain de poudre” texture of Monsieur Saint Laurent’s beloved tuxedo fabric. The caremellic colour dances in the bottle, enticing the senses to try it. Tuxedo eau de parfum encapsulates the matte texture of patchouli enlightened by the dusky brightness of spices.
A contemporary elegance subverted by a note of utter impertinence. It is very long-lasting with a soft medium projection, alluring those around.
Presenting this to someone special? Add that touch of extravagance by engraving the glossy front of the bottle with a wistful message or a particular name.
