Violet Leaf and Coriander over a patchouli base.

Violet Leaf and Patchouli for year-round wear.

The Scent

Yves Saint Laurent Tuxedo opens crisp and aromatic, leading with Violet Leaf, Coriander and Bergamot for its first impression on the skin. It settles into a heart of Rose, Black Pepper and Lily-of-the-Valley, the character that carries it through the middle hours. It dries down to a base of Patchouli, Bourbon Vanilla and Ambergris, the lingering trail it leaves behind.
